Summer 2017 Transfer Thread

[Josef Svejk]

Billy Hogan drops his guard basically admits we don't need stars as we sell out everywhere and we have Klopp.

Looks like most of this squad will be here next season if the Yanks have their way.

 

 

“It certainly has (marketing) value when you have a global star. “From our perspective we have one of the biggest global stars in football in Jurgen Klopp. “From a personality standpoint and from a leadership perspective it has been incredibly valuable and beneficial for the club since he’s joined. “In the past we’ve had global iconic players come to the club and that’s been terrific. “Today, we have a talented young squad of players that are growing into their own and some of them are destined to become ‘big name stars’. “I don’t think it hurts us by any means. The club is such a big significant club that it stands on its own in terms of passion and following. “We’ve seen this when we go around on tours. We’ve had no impact in terms of crowd size or passion. “As we look at it, we are one of the few teams in the world that can sell out stadiums. And there are clubs with big stars who can’t do that. “We are focused on winning. We believe the club is in the right hands with Jurgen Klopp. “We’ve seen this season that we have a competitive team playing in the most competitive league in the world.”

Depressing.

[Harry Squatter]

Billy. No one is going to come and watch us in China, Thailand or Hong Kong when we are fucking shite and have no world class players. Also when the Mancs and Chelsea win trophies.

 

Couldn't even sell out the friendlies in Thailand last time we were there.

[Ronnie Whelan]

While I'm fairly sure that we will win a few games (most likely Arsenal at home, City away and the derby), I have zero faith that we will get top 4. Arsenal are Arsenal and United are far superior to us.

 

In light of that, I'd rather put 3-4 of the kids in the team with a few guys like Milner, Coutinho and Mane and see how they get on. At least the experience might stand them in good stead amd you never know, we might find a starter or two for next season. Woodburn, Ejaria and TAA with possibly Masterson. I'd also make Karius number 1 to see if he can come good for the remainder of the season - though in fairness Mig is very far down the list of people I'm critical of right now. If Karius can't hack it, then we go again and try and find a number 1.

 

We have fuck all to lose and it might give a serious boost to a few of the other kids in the academy. From next season, we need men. Nzonzi is a great shout. A few South American street footballer types who come from a culture of win or starve is what we need rather than Adam, Nathaniel and Jordan etc getting facials and going out for brunch after training. Its high time we turned into a team of fucking arseholes who don't get turned over by journeymen.

Last night when our midfield was getting out fought and out worked by two absolute yard dogs in Drinkwater and Ndidi despite having an extra man in there I was thinking, what would happen if someone just left a fucking boot in a challenge for once, like Mascherano and Gerrard and even Alonso used to do? With the way Oliver was reffing last night it probably wouldn't have even been a free kick.

When it gets to this point I suppose they'll have to console themselves by selling us for about £1bn profit. Shame really because had they established us as a champions league force they'd make back the extra money they have to spend to get us there.

 

Imagine this team with Sterling, Suarez, Sanchez, Delete Alli, a competent goalie and a few higher profile players playing under Klopp. As it stands I Imagine Spurs will be a much more attractive financial prospect when the next big investor pops up.

[Dr Nowt]

We aren't Liverpool, tralalalala.

[El Dangerous]

We come not to pay.

Delete that fucking smiley

[redfromtubebar]

Think I'm going to have a nervous breakdown if FSG don't shift their policy to signing players in the prime of their careers. 

 

We're crying out for an alternative to Mane and we're after that Gray lad at Leicester who's 19 and can't even get into their first-team. 

 

Just what the fuck is going on at our club?

[Carvalho Diablo]

Seen an article this morning about goetze being ruled out of action indefinitely. We'll table a £30mill bid for him now

What's up with him like ? Rash on his tits ?

Ejaria is out long term.

 

It'll be the same team v arsenal with possibly Lovren back.

 

Firmino should be dropped for Origi but won't be.

[SlugTrail]

if we're not signing any new players can we at least do a bit of grave robbing and dig up some spines and backbones, as apart from quality there is a severe lack of these too.

[Harry Squatter]

Raid a few labs for some testicle as well

Guardian reporting that Sturridge's position at the club will be reviewed over the summer, with a departure likeky.

 

Also says that Lucas, Moreno and Can may be sold.

May? May be sold? Why/how the fuck is Moreno still here anyway, he should have been one of the first to be shown the door after Basel.

Sign some strong, fast players with a brain please.

This is the single most depressing thing I've read on this site, and I say that as someone who’s read most of xerxes posts.

[Iceman]

"A competitive team."

 

There you go guyzzzz. Says it all really doesn't it? 

 

A competitive team. Here's a couple more for you. 

 

"A good try."

 

"A decent effort."

 

"No impact in terms of crowd size or passion."

 

Sounds like loserville to me. Dear god I wish these arsefaces would just fuck off. 

[Anubis]

Hogan's Heroes.

More like Hogan's Zeros - as in £00000s.

[Chairman Meow]

We need some cunts, proper horrible nasty snide bastards who we would hate if they played for anyone apart from us. 

[Harry Squatter]

Years ago class players were ruthlessly cut loose by the manager when they were deemed to have gone past their peak. Now we just tolerate average or shite players and they hang around like bad smells.
