Summer 2018 Transfer Thread

[The Golden Eel]

We're going to end up playing the 1-8-1 formation at this rate

Don Balon

I need to see the full clip of this.

"One man had to even be carted off the field."

 

You don't have to be Jamie Redknapp to state that is literally what happened.

Jorginho is the Van Dijk of this summer. Absolutely need to beat City and the mancs (maybe even Chelsea if they appoint Sarri) to him. Get him to Blackpool Jurgen.

[Josef Svejk]

 

"Herbie Goes Batshit" is the best of the series, I think.

[Aventus]

 

 

I have a strange theory, based on absolutely nothing other than a gut instinct of some sort, that if we are really after Zielinski it is not to play in midfield, but rather to be Firmino's backup.

 

Just watch him play, there's something of Bobby there. Really intelligent, good instincts in a crowd of players, and he's constantly running. Not sure he scores enough goals, which to be fair is a pretty big problem with my theory.

Zielinski has scored 7 goals in 38 games so far this season.

 

Firmino scored 10 in 36 the season before he came here, and 11 in 49 his first season here.

 

So not much in it, so I don't think his goal scoring record will be an issue once Klopp gets his arms around him.

Freaks my nut out the way it swerves into the crowd.

Arm the officials!

 

Thoughts & prayers etc

Have Fox media claimed that the cart was shouting "Allahu Akbar!" as it ploughed into the group of people?

[Anubis]

Credit to the bloke who takes his Bruce Willis moment by jumping on the cart and bringing it to a halt.

I don’t see it with Zielinski. I think he’s rather shite. I’ve seen him more than half a dozen times since they linked us with him near a couple of years back.

It's the filming of the Christine remake.

That Coric, the Croatian player we were linked with a few times is close to joining Roma for 6 million euros.

[Grinch]

There was someone else saying that all his comments about how he was interested in the Premier League but only to play with a team that played "quick, aggressive football" or something like that to "suit my style of play" was really just because he already has a pre-agreement with Liverpool. If I recall he went out of his way to hint that United didn't interest him because of their style of play.

 

It's reading the tea leaves a bit but I have to admit I wouldn't be surprised if it's basically agreed. You know Klopp probably has us running like a Bundesliga club and they always have all their main transfer stuff wrapped up by the end of April. And though I obviously wanted Rabiot, Jorginho is a great player and will be sensational for us behind Keita.

 

A whole new midfield....sex wee

 

Maybe for the first time in nearly ten years we'll actually have a midfield befitting a top club.  After seeing countless bang average players wear the shirt in that position it would be a thing of beauty.

It's ok. We'll buy him for €56m next summer.

Speaking to Telefoot, Vasilyev was asked about Lemar’s future and warned interested clubs: "Good luck to those who want him."

 

Vasilyev was then pressed on a transfer fee which Monaco would accept for Lemar but the Monaco vice-president replied that the midfielder would ‘cost a lot’.

 

Telefoot also had a quickfire 'do you prefer' session with Vasilyev in which he was given a question and two options to choose from. When asked if if would prefer to sell Lemar to Liverpool or Arsenal, Vasilyev replied 'Liverpool'.

 

Lemar, meanwhile, has admitted that he was unhappy’ that his move to either Arsenal or Liverpool did not happen last summer.

 

"I'm not going to hide it, I was a little disappointed. I try not to think about it," he said last month. "I've kept working so that these clubs come back during the next transfer window."

[WhiskeyJar]

And Arturo Vidal?

[Boss]

For 80-90m you should be getting world class, not a player with doubts surrounding him. Lemar for 40-50m would make sense but for world class money, walk away. 

[TheHowieLama]

Keita and Jorginho??

 

Whisper it lads but in a few short months there might be nothing wrong with our midfield.

[Jay86]

Fuck that Keita-Jorginho-Ndidi is what we need. Especially if Can goes.

[WhiskeyJar]

Still need a another creative attacking midfielder mind you.

[Jay86]

Still need a another creative attacking midfielder mind you.

Keita is and Jorginho as the deep lying playmaker.

[TheHowieLama]

Still need a another creative attacking midfielder mind you.

 

So you are saying there is something wrong with our midfield???
