Summer 2018 Transfer Thread

[The Woolster]

Ahh the World Cup, that time when idiots suggest we should buy players based one or two good games...

 

So, can I be the first to suggest we should buy Lozano!

Buy Lozano

In my three years living in India, I only had diarrhoea once. Admittedly it lasted for 2 years & 11 months...

I ate tons of shite off street vendors and small cafes and never got the shits.

 

I had a nice sit down meal in my hotel in Jaisalmer and then I was up all night spewing and firing jets of rusty oil. Never ate for 3 days after it and lost nearly a stone.

[Thoth]

Fucking hell. That's China off the bucket list.

You’ll definitely need a bucket

[Anny Road]

Mate of mine worked in China and after a while never left the digs except for work. Said the food was rank and they lived off mince potatoes and shipped out bistro granules. 3 meals a day.

Came back like he had been working on the Bridge Over The River Kwai.

[Lee909]

Traditional chinese food is great

Same in India,Thailand,Vietnam

 

Its almost like British people on the whole eat shit and hate the addition of spices

[Anny Road]

I think it’s just gastro tolerance.

I’m sure Indians and Chinese would be shitting like champions if they come here and lived on chips curry rice and pies.

[razor]

Lived there for six years. Never had the shits like you've described.

 

No, but the constant gobbing, hole in the floor toilet and lack of general hygiene must ring a bell?

It’s almost as if that’s a load of smelly balls. The 70s stereotype is long gone.

[manwiththestick]

Reminds me of that time I had a kebab in Runcorn

Runcorn old town consists of just kebab shops.

[Razoray]

Pops in to check out the latest transfer gossip, reads about different types of shit in Asia. Ah I must be on one of tose weird GF shit comparing threads.

Pops out and realises, no, its the transfer one alright

[Tyler Durden]

I belly laughed at thet last page. Well done all involved.

[El Rojo]

Hearing that the Chinese tourist bureau are having second thoughts about Geoff Woade writing the English copy for their new website.

[Unrighteous]

No, but the constant gobbing, hole in the floor toilet and lack of general hygiene must ring a bell?

Yea, all pretty accurate. They dont really have deodorant there either just rubbish antiperspirants and not many use them.

[Geoff Woade]

Hearing that the Chinese tourist bureau are having second thoughts about Geoff Woade writing the English copy for their new website.

I could be quite positive if it was for a ‘weekend getaways’ publication.

 

In all seriousness, it’s brilliant and I loved the experience overall, the people were lovely as well but the norms there do come as a bit of a shock and would be difficult to cope with long term.

Liverpool have no intention of pursuing a deal for either Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope or Lazio's Thomas Strakosha.

The Reds have been heavily linked with both shot-stoppers as Jurgen Klopp looks to strengthen his squad this summer and increase competition for the No 1 spot.

However, the ECHO understands that neither of them is currently under consideration.

Reports had suggested that £18million-rated Pope, who is part of England's World Cup squad, was on Liverpool's radar, while speculation in Italy has focused on Strakosha.

The Albanian keeper has been touted as an alternative target to Roma's Alisson with talk of Klopp eyeing a £30million transfer but Liverpool aren't in the race for his signature.

Brazil international Alisson was the Reds' No 1 keeping target for this summer. But hopes of securing a deal with the Serie A outfit have been dented.

Not only do Roma want in excess of £70million but Real Madrid is believed to be Alisson's preferred destination. The situation will become clearer after the World Cup finals.

Has Pearce ever actually said we are in for a player?

[Lee909]

Its going to be Karuis isn't it

[Ronnie Whelan]

Its going to be Karuis isn't it

Yeah if he isn't too concussed.

[Thoth]

This thread has gone to shit

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Cannot start the season with Karius, simply can't. Pressure on him, the team and the manager from the get go, idiotic.

[Aventus]

Cannot start the season with Karius, simply can't. Pressure on him, the team and the manager from the get go, idiotic.

Exactly, even the slightest mistake will be met with people taking the piss out of him, saying he might have a concussion etc and that'll be from all sides, us, our opponents fans, and the media will certainly be on his case immediately.

 

I can let what happened in the final go, I'm over it. But I really don't think he can let it go he's not mentally strong enough to not let it get to him.

[3 Stacks]

Don't know what his situation is with Bayern but I think we should slap the money on the table for James. Even better than Fekir and pretty much the perfect alternative in terms of profile. Crazy even thinking about it, like, but with our Billionaire owner it might just be possible.

Bayern have one more year on their loan and an option to buy afaik. But what a signing that could be. He was immense yesterday. 

[Moo]

... with our Billionaire owner it might just be possible.

Hahahaha.

[Strontium]

The only way we'd be in for James is if he floats on water and fills a 200ft berth.

[Anubis]

If we are not signing Fekir then we are left with a 60m and 360pw situation, to go out there and target a 'statement' signing for the club to propel us into the spotlight. Go throw that at Madrid, offer them their asking price for James Rodriguez and see what they actually say when we slap the money on the table, and see what his agent says when we offer to double his current 110k pw wages.

 

Honestly it sounds mental even typing this out, but money talks in football, and if we are serious in making a statement then we couldn't make a bigger one than this...
