Summer Transfer Ballache 2016

[Carvalho Diablo]

Corentin Tolisso of Lyon, centre midfield, big lad, quick, skillful, looks a good player. As per Anfield Index.

[Russ Atmosphere]

That £165m probably includes the £140m they'll get for Barkley, Lukaku, Stones and Coleman.

When you read that, they're saying the £65m is the money from selling Lukaku. To me that seems a huge fee that much better players don't yet fetch.

 

It certainly seems like they'll be throwing money at people this summer if Koeman is going to be earning anything close to £7m, the same as Klopp. Who will go there though when so few good players pitched up at old Trafford for greater riches? They still play Fellaini up front.

 

Has Moshiri said anything about it being his money? We could probably tell Everton fans a thing or two about new owner promises.

[El Dangerous]

Where's the Christmas hampers money Moshiri?!

[Russ Atmosphere]

When's Snoogy Doogy signing, BillFarhad?

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

If we don't sign someone good soon, I'm going to check again shortly.

[Gnasher]

Selling Coutinho is not a very good idea, in my opinion.

I agree with this. The one thing Phil has is the often overlooked skill of being able to control a football.

[Red Hot]

The thing is if Coninho decides he wants to go are hands are tied. 

[El Dangerous]

Not if we refer to the clause in his contract that states he's our fucking player for 4 more years. Still, he's not irreplaceable but he probably won't be upgraded by our shit committee.

I'm waiting for 3stacks scouting report before I hate him.

I hate this trend of player power that renders completely meaningless the binding quality of a contract if they feel like fucking off for more money/fame. I respect sometimes players need to follow their dreams but they shouldn't have it 100% all their own way.

[satansmutt]

If PSG want to buy Coutinho they will have to find him first, he went missing in the second half of the Europa league final and nobody has seen him since. We have got three number tens at the club and at least one of them has to go, playing with Coutinho, Firmino and Lallana together is definitely not working and to be honest I would be quite happy if we sold all three of them, they are all overrated and a bit meh!

[Razoray]

Totally agree. Steady and unspectacular would be a big step forward for us at let back (sadly).

Since the 70s

The problem is, we'll probably replace him with that Vardy lookalike.

All the contract lengths do now is increase the asking price depending on how many years there is left on it. If he wants to go and PSG meet said price he's gone. 

[Russ Atmosphere]

Regarding contracts, AS are saying that Real have to pay De Gea 10.9m euros if they don't sign him by June 15th. Probably one for the shitness of modern football thread, but these kind of agreements are going to catch on aren't they?

[kalasoma]

Koeman might actually make that lot half decent. He's still got to undo 3 years of Bobby Martinez.

From Ronald McDonald to Ronald Koeman.

[Russ Atmosphere]

From Ronald McDonald to Ronald Koeman.

 

...and in 3 years time, Ronald Booman.

[El Rojo]

That's a serious coup for the Bitters. Bit of a demotion for Koeman, though.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Good. Let them get rinsed by Southampton now.

[Sugar Ape]

Rumblings that Hector is going to be next in.

[Tony Moanero]

We appear to buy players with one eye on potential resale value. Coutinho will be sold if we receive an offer for him that is to our owners' liking, in my opinion.

[Mark M]

Rumblings that Hector is going to be next in.

 

If that does happen i'll be very happy as both positions I really wanted upgraded were the keeper and a left back.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Is nobody else concerned that Karius doesn't have any serious competition?

[Jairzinho]

Bogdan is still a Liverpool player.
