Hidden gems who you think would improve us...

[amli]

Just seen that Ngolo Kante on MOTD

Never heard of the Kante.

[amli]

Mentioned Yunus Malli at Mainz in another thread.

[VladimirIlyich]

We need someone to control the midfield who is excellent in possession, I've seen a top talent who doesn't get much attention or praise who would be perfect alongside Lucas or another dm, his name is Joe Allen.

You mean Jose Alleniho?

[Tony Moanero]

I'm waiting for Funnnneeeeeeeeeee's scout report

It takes time to copy and paste stuff, J-V.

[G Richards]

Neves.

Sane.

Aubemayang.

 

Gems who would all improve us, but not very hidden!

Here's 50 of them

Don't know if there's overlap...

[The Golden Eel]

When we were linked with Aubameyang during the summer, no one cared, now he's being mentioned a lot as a very good signing. I'm not sure what my point is mind you

[Kevin D]

Gary Monk.

Where's Gerardo Bruna?

[Boss]

Viktor Fischer. He looked a far better player than Suso or Sterling in the next gen tournament a couple of years ago and his goal record in the Dutch league is good for a winger.

[Paulie Dangerously]

There's a 32 year old balding midfield maestro who's been out of the game for some time.  I think he could come in do a Gary Mac possibly scoring goals against Everton and Barcelona (should we play them).  His name is Paulie something but I can't put my finger on it. 

[Gym Beglin]

It seems that the Grosskreutz thing is happening, on a free by all accounts.

 

Still only 28 I think, can play either wing or right back. Good experience, knows how Klopp works, seems a canny signing in the 'hidden gem' category.

 

Others we should consider:

SMUG.

Viktor Fischer is boss. He seems to have recovered from a couple of bad injuries and is back playing well and scoring.

Markovic scored last night. Little dummy to go past the keeper then a neat finish on the angle. I wouldn't mind seeing him come back as I do think there is a player in there somewhere.

 

I like the Fischer shout, and also some whispers of Lucas Moura.

 

I don't know much about Grosskreutz but if he can boost numbers down the right flank and give Clyne a break then I'm all for it.

If that's the goal I saw I thought he pulled out of the 50/50 and the keeper, expecting impact, made a hash of it and let it go through him so Markovic put it into an empty net, albeit from a tight angle as you say.

[3 Stacks]

Anwar El Ghazi. Tall, strong, skillful, plays on the wing for Ajax. Still pretty inconsistent but very Ronaldo-esque in the way he plays.

[TheHowieLama]

Agree - he was linked a few months back

[Lee909]

Ah purest green

Great shout, he looks a top player.  

 

This one isn't really a "hidden gem" any more but if Arsenal or Tottenham get Michy Batshuayi from Marseilles then I will be really disappointed.  We have bought 2 Belgian strikers for 40m and somehow managed to not buy the one really good one.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Fuck gems. We can do that in the summer and beyond. Gems in most cases will disappoint.

 

We need proven and talented and experienced in the Champions League, as that's where we need to be.

 

Tell Dortmund to name their price for Gundogan and Aubameyang.

 

Tell PSG to name their price for Moura.

 

Job done.

Yeah, you've not been paying attention for the last 5 years or so have you.

Just watching this Leverkusen - Monchengladbach game and there are a couple of young Germans that look the business.  First is Mahmoud Dahoud, only 19 and looking very solid in midfield for the home side.  Second, and maybe even better is Jonathan Tah, apparently also 19 but looks tremendously composed at right centre back, a position we could certainly do with upgrading.

 

Edit: and as I type Javier Hernandez scores a fantastic goal after some good play in the box with Kiessling.  And another Kiessling goal again as I type, this time a Hyypia-esque header.  But anyway, I know he has the United connection but depending on the price we could do worse than to bring in the little Mexican Sigourney Weaver lookalike.  Looking devastating in the Bundesliga, still just 27 and would be a great backup option for Sturridge and is very good off the bench for those times when Daniel is fit.

[Frank Dacey]

We should have a look at Andre Grey at Burnley. He is raw but he's got pace, power and energy and knows where the goal is.
