Summer 2017 Transfer Thread

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Liverpool have £140m bid for Messi rejected.

We'll pull out soon as it could get messy.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Does anyone think we'll still get Keita and Van Dijk?

 

Even if we say Salah cost £36m, Van Dijk £60m and Keita £50m that's still only £146m that's without sales, with the CL and TV rights deal for the Premier League that's hardly anything spent still. We could sign them two and get a good left back and that would be a really good window for us then next summer go all out on a world class striker unless we do actually get Aumbamayang this window which would just be unreal.

Confident of VVD.

Liverpool have £14m bid for Messi rejected.

Fixed.

[Paco]

If, if, if, IF, IF (progressively bigger IF) Kylian Mbappe fancies move to England rather than Spain, LFC want to be part of conversation.

 

Bascombe

[Carvalho Diablo]

Mbappe will sign for Madrid for excess of £100m and they'll loan him back to Monaco for 1 season. 12 months time will see them offload the greasy tumbler.

'Hello, I'm calling from Liverp-'

'Fuck off.'

[Total Longo]

Confident of VVD.

 

Not confident of any of them to be honest.

Bascombe

we might as well release our statement apologising to monaco and ending our interest in the player

[El Rojo]

I'm not sure why Mbappe would go to Real Madrid when he could be winning Emirates Cups with Arsenal or Nivea LFC Player of The Month awards with us.

[G Richards]

It's 2017, Gra. Stop trying to put boundaries around gender and identity with your petty bourgeois interpretations of mere biology...

Fair enough! Hope you are doing well Paul.

[G Richards]

Yes I know what I did Rev. Intentional for the purpose of light humour.

Whoosh on my part!

 

I was never the sharpest sandwich in the picnic...

[JagSquared]

100m? It's laughable really. Do they expect us to really believe that?

 

On CB I think klopp will go for VDV if we can get him but if not he'll stick with what he has. LB also appears to only be a consideration if Moreno goes. CM worries me as we only have a link to keita and AOC and you'd imagine the latter is cover for a number of positions really.

 

The lack of alternative options being linked may be a concern or we could be holding our cards really close to our chests. Which based on how it's gone historically sounds implausible.

 

Plenty of time yet mind.

[G Richards]

I liked seeing the picture of Mane hanging out with Keita. Those sort of fine margins could swing it in our favour, where you've already got a mate or two to welcome you and help you settle in.

Moreno is big mates with coutinho and firmino as well so klopp might want him to stay as cover and keep them happy.

[redheart]

I don't want us spending £50m on any player let alone £100m

 

This is utter madness and can only lead to the bankruptcy of this league in the next few years

[G Richards]

As for Mbappe, seems very unlikely, but on the other hand...

 

He's a young player. He needs to play to be able to reach whatever heights he's going to reach. Real Madrid have a sure thing in Ronaldo. He's near the end of his time there, whether it's this summer or in the next year or two. If he goes now, is Mbappe ready to step in? Probably not. Don't get me wrong, Mbappe is a smashing player, but I doubt we will see the relentless consistency we've seen from Ronaldo, not until he matures a bit.

 

Real Madrid do not strike me as the sort of team that will give a young player the opportunity to play their way into form, should there be a dip - which there always is.

 

So, maybe Mbappe sees Real Madrid as his ultimate destination, but as a young lad he can play a few years somewhere else while his star grows and grows. He would still only be early/mid twenties.

 

England would be a great place to make the next move. There's a lot of money, but there's also a chance to be a main man and play, right now. At that point he has to consider who is the best man to play under.

 

Conte? Maybe, but how long will he be at Chelsea?

Guardiola? Would be a good choice, but how many players do City have?

Wenger? Traditionally would make the most sense, but the natives are restless about their manager, and how long has he got left?

 

Klopp? Sign here Kylian, sign right here. Welcome to Liverpool.

[Joe Strummer]

Clichy on a free would do as an upgrade on Moreno and extra £15 million in the bank. Keep Milner first choice.

[Dave D]

Any optimism we build up will be slightly drained if we go for Oxdale Chamberlain.

 

Surely surely surely Klopp has taken one look at his injury record and walked away.

 

He's a classic West Ham signing. Not this summer, but almost certainly next

We don't need him at all. Decent player in there but I'd rather a DM.

[Anubis]

Meanwhile, over on Arsenal Mania they have convinced themselves that they are in pole position to sign M'bappe.

Hope so.

[Anny Road]

We dont have a problem up top. It's at the back we need to shake up.

[Lee909]

I keep hearing this and agree myself but imo people need to stop hoping as Klopp has not once shown he is interested in signing a DM

[3 Stacks]

People need to look at what Oxlade-Chamberlain could be under Klopp instead of what he currently is under Wenger. Smart transfers are all about the fit and he'd be a great fit in our style of football.

 

I think he'll ultimately end up signing a new contract at Arsenal, but he really isn't a bad target. Much rather Naby Keita, but AO-C is a decent alternative and would give us depth at a number of different positions.  

[goose]

I don't see why Klopp would improve his injury record and every time I've seen him play in central midfield he's looked clueless, so I hope we get someone else.
