Summer 2017 Transfer Thread

[Numero Veinticinco]

Salah is pretty questionable. Keita will just be the Coutinho money.

Rightho then.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Isn't that 40m Euros?

 

I'm not poo-pooing the spending, by the way. I'm happy Klopp is getting his first choices even if it's taking over a year.

Whats all this Carroll shite

He never signed for us,its a massive myth that he ever played for us

 

He was for the Hail Mary.

[Lee909]

More like a bloody mary

[Barrington Womble]

Rightho then.

So you don't think salah's fee is questionable, even though people are questioning it on this thread and the BBC breaking the Keita news are reporting as Keita being the Carroll fee! Fuck me. And if you think Coutinho and Keita will play in the same Liverpool team you're as easily fooled as my 6 year old

 

From the BBC

Liverpool have agreed a club-record deal to sign RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita, with the player officially joining on 1 July 2018.

 

The Reds have agreed to pay the £48m release clause that will allow him to move next summer, plus an undisclosed premium.

 

The 22-year-old had been one of Jurgen Klopp's primary targets this summer, but Leipzig had refused to sell.

 

The deal will surpass the £35m paid to Newcastle for Andy Carroll in 2011.

 

The German side finished second behind champions Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga last season, allowing them to qualify for the Champions League group stages.

 

Liverpool had already had two offers for the Guinea international rejected this summer - the second understood to be around £70m - but now a compromise deal has been reached where Leipzig keep their prize asset this season and manager Klopp gets the player next summer.

 

So far this summer, Liverpool have signed winger Mohamed Salah from Roma for £34m, full-back Andrew Robertson from Hull for £8m and striker Dominic Solanke after his contract at Chelsea expired.

 

The Anfield club are also prepared to test Monaco's resolve to keep midfielder Thomas Lemar with an offer of about £60m before Thursday's transfer deadline.

[Grinch]

Fantastic news.

 

Time will tell how this is funded and if Klopp gets the rest of what the club earns. It's going to take a good bit more to start sucking off the owners.

 

One thinh is for sure, this lad looks top class.

Un fucking believable. Surely a WUM?

[an tha]

Still not a word on sky....and they are currently broadcasting a show called 'Transfer Centre'...

 

I am watching that 'transfer centre' now and they haven't mentioned it at all....fucking state of them that they would rather talk about rumours and what their bullshit sources say than actual deals.

 

Their main story from LFC is we have 'bid for Lemar'

 

They are a joke.

[Lee909]

Yeah same here

Sure they'll have a exclusive later

[TheHowieLama]

Would not be surprised to see a similar deal announced for Coutinho. In both cases it does the most to appease players and the clubs involved.

You’ve made it perfectly clear what you think, Barry. Unfortunately, what you’ve been saying all summer is about how we aren’t signing anybody, and now things are moving, you’re trying to make it as if it’s somehow a bad thing. That’s fine, mate. Wallow in it all you like. I’m not doing it though.

[Lee909]

Fucking Koeman

 

We need strikers. I don't talk names,its the media saying Costa,i dont say names. but we need strikers

They werent the first to break the news so are down playing it well, not even mentioning it as far as I can see!

Some transfer centre that!

What I find funny about baz's WUMMing is he's more fucking bothered about the size of Salah's fee. I couldnt give 2 fucks whether Salah cost more, the same or even fucking cheaper. The fact is we signed a boss player. How much he cost and what the club spent is really fuck all in the equation.

Nothing has happened to fix the squad for this season. All we've done is sign a player for next summer and made a bid for a player who Monaco have previously said is not for sale and left it so late, his international manager will only give him till the end of today to complete the deal. If we actually make some signings and keep Coutinho, I will be happy, but right now I see nothing other than what we've seen all summer, bids for unobtainable players.

He’s not a WUM. He’s a good guy with a dislike of FSG that goes back a long way, from an email conversation or something. It has soured him some what.

[Lee909]

Reddy saying nothing in Sanches and Origi may go to Monaco to sweeten deal

[Mook]

Barry's got a point as usual, we're all happy with the Keita news but it does fuck all to remedy our paper thin squad for this season, let's hope the owners are going to do something about that in the next couple of days.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

That's some of the Coutinho money spent for next summer. Top class footballer and I'm really glad we've signed him but they still aren't spending their own money. We've made a profit in the last four windows and the ridiculous tv deal is still in the coffers.

 

We're still being significantly short changed and unless a few more come in during the next few days I stand by my assessment - ambitionless shysters who don't want to spend their own money. They've only come to life in the last week after Champions League qualification.

 

We're still short for this season despite yesterday's excellence.

[TheHowieLama]

I think not acknowledging that adding a player like Salah greatly improves the side is a little weird.

New keeper having a medical too :

Yeah, yeah. Its not WUMming because its baz. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck........
