Summer 2017 Transfer Thread

[jimmycase]

Dahoud going for €10m apparently.. less than half of what Markovic cost us.

 

Yes because his contract runs out in about 12 months or less. Hardly the same situation.

[Adebisi]

Sessegnon might go on to be an excellent player but £15m for a 16 year old is taking the piss, to put it mildly.

Makes you wonder how much an 18 year old Rooney would go for in today's market.

 

Deli Alli went for next to nothing and is probably worth about 50 million now. It's no wonder clubs are wanting crazy prices for their youngsters.

[an tha]

if we cancelled his contract now and just let him leave for fuck all would we be any worse off?...he has become totally useless to us...1 league goal this season - which regrdless of whether that is down to him not being fit or not being picked is basically no use to us.

[Grinch]

Dahoud moving for next to fuck all and we've no interest. Clearly yet another fake leak that was last summer.

 

Laughable how much of the fan base fall for this shit.

Who fell for what shit?

 

It's entirely possible that Klopp changed his mind on Dahoud, over the course of this season.

Course he did.

[moof]

Glad we cleared that up.

Glad we cleared that up.

Just like its highly possible that all those failed Everton medicals were indeed failed medicals.

 

It's no wonder FSG are able to take the club for a ride with such blind supporters.

Ok, Mbappe it is then. And Keita. And Brandt. And Sessegnon.

 

If Lovren gets a new contract (did that already happen?) we might forego the central defender, but hopefully with Keita in there they will be better protected anyway. And maybe Gomez will kick on, which is reasonable to expect.

 

Mbappe is already too good for us unfortunately. He'll either go to Madrid/Barca/Bayern or whoever wants to fork out 50m+.

Solanke from Chelsea coming to us apparently.

Solanke from Chelsea coming to us apparently.

2019: Solanke joining Dagenham And Redbridge on a permanent deal after impressing in a three month loan spell.

The ECHO understands that Bayer Leverkusen winger Julian Brandt is one of the Reds' top targets.

Brandt looks pretty good from the CL matches and videos I've seen. He has pace but he's not rapid. He looks a good footballer. Not too far away in style from other german wide attacking midfielders e.g., Reus and Draxler in that he likes to cut in and pick out runners.

Brandt is still pretty raw, Imo. The only thing he is really good at right now is dribbling. I have doubts that he could make a real difference early on, but he's obviously a long-term project. 

[aRdja]

He's still 20. He wouldn't be a regular starter for us, as his best position is either Coutinho's or Mane's... He's not more 'raw' than Leroy Sane was, but hopefully not as pricey.

[joe_fishfish]

I'm not that arsed about Brandt, he doesn't look like he has the pace to be a Mané replacement. He's probably one bad injury away from having to play as a number ten and we've already got enough of those.

I think we should bring in Adama Traore too. He was devastating against us.

[Lee909]

Well he wouldn't be Mane replacement as he is a LW

Long-term projects are only a worthwhile addition if you ensure a genuine focus on the short-to-medium term too. Otherwise you fall into the trap our that club has done, which is to always be looking towards a future that never actually arrives.

[joe_fishfish]

Also I think we need a someone in attack who is two footed. Mané and Lallana are pretty good with both feet but the more lads we have who can go drop a shoulder and go either way the less predictable it makes us in attack. That Felipe Anderson at Lazio looked decent last year, what's happened to him?

[Carvalho Diablo]

He's shit. Fast as fuck but still shit and stinks the place out.

 

Like diarrhoea.

Speaking of Brandt, if you're looking for good young talented players who haven't necessarily picked up a lot of hype (and the high price that goes with it) yet, Leverkusen also have a midfielder named Kai Havertz who looks really, really good.

 

Maybe a bit young to make a move to Liverpool at 17, and we already have a surfeit of good young attacking midfielders, but I think he'll be special one day.  Heard a lot about him and then watched him for the first time last night.  He laid on two beautiful assists in an excellent overall game.  At 17 in the Bundesliga!  Going to be a great player if that's any indication at all.

 

Actually, if we're negotiating with Leverkusen we should just try to get a package deal discount and buy half their team.  I'd have Havertz, Brandt obviously, Tah is going to be a top CB, the fullback Henrichs would be a good buy ... they have a LOT of top young players.

Gonna be a top player. Tall player too (for a wideman), reminds me of a young Yarmolenko.

Henrichs looked real good against Spurs. Bayern need a full back this summer though. I was really impressed by Baumgartlinger too. A real combative defensive midfielder. Your thoughts on him?
