Summer 2017 Transfer Thread

[Pureblood]

Let's sell a player who's on strike and sign another one who likes to go on strike.

 

Fuck off, Andy Townsend. 

[jimmycase]

Costa only wants to go to atletico, doesnt he?

[chrisbonnie]

We could badly do with a bit of that.

Agreed, klopp would get him fighting for us. Even if we got 2 seasons out of him it would be worth it.

 

But that's too ambitious for our owners

[joe_fishfish]

We could do a lot worse than looking at Draxler if PSG are up for selling him. Would be another option for the left wing and can play number ten too. I reckon he'd be a good fit for Firmino's role as well.

I can't understand why we aren't after whatshisname!

We're aggressively monitoring thingy instead.

Juve 18ml for Matudi

Should have been all over that if no Keita deal

I'd like him! Ideal for us. Does that mean Can isn't signing though?

[Pureblood]

Fine.  But if we don't go after thingemeechops it's gross negligee.  

[Crazy Dave]

Juventus buy Matuidi for 18m while we fuck around offering double that for somebody in the same position who's had one decent season in their career. 

 

Only at Liverpool. 

[Red House]

Seri is better. Matuidi just runs around a lot, but his technique is rather poor.

What other English clubs were in for him? Clearly not only at Liverpool.

[G Richards]

Agree with this. We need a third top winger, and Draxler can also play in other positions if needed.

 

If we are going to sell Coutinho, it needs to be on the premise that we sign VVD, Keita and another top player who is creative, like Draxler/Meyer/Pulisic.

 

We are already short, and if selling Coutinho means one in, one out, it's nowhere near enough. We need three good players and then I'd let him go now.

What makes you think FSG will sanction the signing of three high quality players before allowing Coutinho to leave?  

[Gym Beglin]

"there's no quality out there"

[Gym Beglin]

Juventus buy Matuidi for 18m while we fuck around offering double that for somebody in the same position who's had one decent season in their career. 

 

Only at Liverpool. 

 

I love Matuidi, but you have to question someone's desire at his age and the earnings he's made.

 

Seri looks great, although is obviously still a risk.

[Ginny]

Realistically, are we getting VVD and Kieta?

[jimmycase]

Keita, no. van Dijk, strangely I still think there's a chance but that depends on the player sticking to his guns.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Realistically, are we getting VVD and Kieta?

I'd say 65% chance of the former, 15% chance of the latter.

[Pureblood]

I'd say 65% chance of the former, 15% chance of the latter.

 

That's an 80% chance we'll get both.

[an tha]

To make this window decent we need:

 

A centre half who pushes Lovren to the bench.

 

A central midfielder to improve upon the axis of slow that is Can/Wij/Henderson

 

A replacement for Coutinho (assuming he goes)

 

Anyone think we'll do all that?

[Hazel Motes]

That's an 80% chance we'll get both.

 

 

And only 20% chance we doesn't sign both our targets. If we add the fact that we 100% signed Solanke, Robertson and Salah I say we've had a 380% successful window!
