January 2018 Transfer Thread

[amli]

Hearing from Leipzig that the #Keïta deal will be about €95 million (not confirmed yet). The deal appears to be done. #LFC

 

Bild are now reporting this too. They say a deal for Naby Keita can be done in January if Liverpool raise the transfer fee to €95m

 

The search for Liverpool’s mystery transfer target continues. Apparently @JNorthcroft said he was Premier League based!

[Pidge]

So we're going to go from £50m to £80m+ for half a season?

 

I am doubtful.

[sir roger]

Surely that's wrong . or it means we are giving them roughly  £ 25 / 30 m for 4 months playing time & he can't play in the CL either !! One thing FSG aren't is soft with money.

[Harry Squatter]

Wasnt the deal £66m including the add ons?. This €95m sounds ridiculous to get him a few months early.

[sir roger]

I think that was euros , DT , so even more unrealistic

[Thoth]

No fucking chance JWH is paying an additional 30 mil for 4 months

[Bobby Hundreds]

I don't think we should either.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

That Akanji lad from Basle is close to signing for Dortmund, apparently.

[Lee909]

Maybe Klopp thinks Matip will work with VVD or he goes for de Vrij on a free after the massive pay out on VVD

[Ranxerox]

I don't think we should either.

I could care less about player fees as we’re in a very strong financial position.

 

Get him in and add an attacker

Would be delighted with N'didi amd Mahrez. Not that it looks like either are happening

[Lee909]

Okazaki a good poor mans Firmino too

[3 Stacks]

Okazaki is a dying homeless man's Firmino, at best. Doesn't have an ounce of his technique.

Yes Ndidi.

 

 

 

 

Was he names by Ned Flanders?

Jack Wilshire is the Mystery Man. Source. Quasimodo. Just a hunch.

15.25: Liverpool remain locked in talks over the early signing of Naby Keita as he prepares to wave goodbye to RB Leipzig fans.

 

Liverpool are keen to bring the transfer forward to this month after agreeing a deal for the summer last year.

 

And Keita wants to make the move now and help Liverpool recover from the sale of Philippe Coutinho.

 

 

Leipzig manager Ralph Hasenhuttl insists the situation remains the same and he will stay until the summer.

 

But Express Sport understands Keita will say goodbye to fans today in the match against Schalke.

 

Today a picture has emerged online him wearing a Liverpool shirt and Reds fans have begun welcoming him to the club.

 

And talks remain ongoing over the deal but it appears closer than earlier in the week.

 

 

Pulisic to Man Utd...

14.50: Manchester United have been backed to sign Borussia Dortmund star Christian Pulisic ahead of Liverpool.

 

Pulisic has been linked with a move to Manchester United and bitter rivals Liverpool in this transfer window.

 

The 19-year-old midfielder has been a regular in the Borussia Dortmund side this season, scoring four goals in 23 games in all competitions.

 

Liverpool legend Steve Nicol is a fan of the USA international, who he has seen a lot of during his work as a pundit for ESPN.

 

 

He says Pulisic has the potential to become a world-class player but has advised him to avoid a move to Man United until the summer of 2019.

 

“Again this would be down the line,” Nicol said on ESPN FC.

 

“I think Pulisic is a sensible kid, he’s only just now a regular at Dortmund.

 

“I think he needs to stay there for another 12 months anyway.

 

“Now, does he go to Man United eventually? I think definitely there is a possibility of this being a hit.

 

“The kid I think is going to be good enough, I think he’s going to develop into a world-class player.

 

“And from a commercial point of view for Manchester United, I think this is a no-brainer.

 

“I think we’re talking 18-months time from now, there’s a real possibility Pulisic goes to

 

Thomas Lemar update

13:45: Thomas Lemar will only join Liverpool if he can be assured over his playing time.

 

Bleacher Report say the France international is wanted by the Reds and Arsene Wenger's Arsenal.

 

But Lemar wants guarantees over his game time with the World Cup in Russia on the horizon.

[SasaS]

Clubs are prepared to shell out 75-90 mill for Lemar, and he is worried he wouldn't get "game time"?

[No2]

Has there ever been proof of any top side guaranteeing any player playing time?

Same. Leicester absolutely killing them. Ndidi, Mahrez and Vardy fantastic.

 

How is this game goalless?!

[Lee909]

Okazaki is a dying homeless man's Firmino, at best. Doesn't have an ounce of his technique. 

 

Not suggesting he is close to his ability

Similar type of player,perfect foil for Vardy.

 

 

Was not saying we should buy him

[Lee909]

?

Something to do with Sanchez?

[Bamo]

Ward Process got a couple for Southampton, £50m bid coming in obviously

[Lee909]

 

Bale for Salah?

According to Spanish outlet Don Balon, Real Madrid are willing to swap Gareth Bale for Mohamed Salah this summer.

The report claims Madrid would offer Bale as a straight swap, with no other cash or incentives involved.

 

[Pidge]

No thanks. They know he's broken.
