Summer 2018 Transfer Thread

Our sources say.

[El Dangerous]

Bring Dembele in on loan and let him rot in the reserves next season.

 

Problem solved.

Is right!

[sir roger]

Can see certain circumstances where we might have a chance of Dembele on a loan ( similar to the Real/Bayern Rodriguez deal ) but can't see any way that Barcelona are going to take a £40/£50m bath on his transfer fee in a market where fees are booming.

 

Get Keita, Fabinho, Fekir and Dembele and we can play without a goalie.

Hehe. Playing without a keeper would be fun. Or maybe have a fly keeper.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

There have been times recently where it's felt like we have been playing without a keeper.

[Mark M]

we tried it in the champions league final it wasn’t that fun.

[Gym Beglin]

I’m not sure Fekir is vital to us, and maybe if Lyon play hardball then we might walk away and work on another tweak to the formation and use £70m on a top striker with Firmino dropping back.

 

Besides which, I think Fekir might be a rumour we’re happy to keep going so we can work on Pulisic instead.

[The Guest]

It isn’t some computer game Funnee. Back in the real world if Dortmund receive a bid from us for Pulisic you can pretty much guarantee they will be straight on the phone to every other club asking can they beat it.

That's incredible insight into the real world and the projected Dortmund strategy. Thank you.

Sorry I was taking the piss mate. What I actually think they will do is say yes Liverpool we will keep quiet about any approach you make so it keeps the price down for you. Also we want you to be able to surprise your fans with the signing so you appear very professional and in control. You see Dortmund exist to please Liverpool.

[Unrighteous]

Atletico won a European title because of Oblak.

 

We lost one because of Karius.

 

We should pay the release clause and get Oblak. We would be close to having no weaknesses with someone like him in goal.

 

This.  So many this.

[Unrighteous]

Should we not just sign Kepa and save ourselves a bundle?

 

His release clause is like 70m, no?

[Aventus]

I reckon we should sign Keepa.

I think you'll find we've been playing without a goalie since June 2013.

[Boss]

Why would they loan out Dembele? Either they'd sell him to comply with FFP or they'll keep him because he's a quality player. Loaning him out makes no sense if they're trying to recoup money to buy Griezmann

[Wezza]

The Barca issue is wages not transfer fees.

Does it feel mad even typing that?

[Funkasy]

Sporting is cracking up

[Red74]

Apparently, they haven’t warmed to each other and if barca can do a 2 year loan deal with option to buy they can avoid making any payments due to Dortmund and the club taking him would have to pay them. Or something like that

[M_B]

His release clause is like 70m, no?

 

Is it? I really dont know. Was just a passing comment given that Athletico will apparently go for him. Where did you read about his clause?

[Unrighteous]

I can't remember, but a quick search says its lower... 20m.  That's a steal.  Still prefer Oblak, though.

 

Edit: Nope, he signed a new deal in January, and its 80m euros now.

[Mascherano]

All you've got to do is say what you actually think, mate.

Anyway, thanks again.

[The Acolyte]

Barca still owe us around £80m, they haven’t finished paying for Suarez yet. Just give us Dembele and we’ll call it quits.

Bollocks. No way. They Must have coughed it all up for Suarez by now?

[Lee909]

If there is any truth to this then surely the some of Henderson,Milner,Grujic,Wijnaldum and Lallana must be on the chopping block. Don't see how we can have so many midfielders with AOC,Keita,Fabinho and possibly Fekir all there

 

 

Liverpool are in pole position to land Benfica playmaker Anderson Talisca this summer.

That is according to Portuguese outlet Record, who say the Reds have as good a chance as anyone of landing the in-demand star in the transfer window.

Jurgen Klopp has already sealed a deal for Fabinho and also wants to take Nabil Fekir to Anfield from Lyon.

And Talisca, 24, could also arrive on Merseyside after Besiktas opted not to take up the £18.5million option to buy him following his two-year spell on loan in Turkey.

Talisca scored 37 goals in 78 appearances for Besiktas.

Wonder why Besiktas aren’t taking the option to buy and the re sell at a profit next year
