Summer 2018 Transfer Thread

The Echo are quite weird about Henderson and Lovren, aren't they?

 

Even when Lovren was absolutely shocking in 2016 they were still writing articles about how "he's quality, just going through a bad patch" or whatever. I'm guessing it's because he gives them interviews all the time and someone there quite likes him personally or something.

I think you've nailed it there. Lovren's a bit of a meal ticket for them isn't he?

 

All in all though for me CB is towards the bottom of the shopping list. I don't think there's such a big drop in quality between Lovren and Matip, there was a time when Matip was clearly playing better in any case. He does have fitness issues but that's why he's 3rd choice.

Liverpool linked to Paquetá of Flamengo. Versatile, mobile and by far the best U21 talent in Brazil right now. He even made the World Cup reserve list. Exactly the sort of player Klopp wants.

[INTORRESTING]

It's fucking weird of the echo. Who are they trying to kid?

[Oh Buoy]

Paquetá sounds like something from Chiquitos. 

[TheHowieLama]

Not sure Paqueta could get a tarjeta.

[Red House]

Maddock is the new Pearce.

 

Despite widespread reports in Brazil, @LFC have zero interest in Lucas Paqueta. The 20 year old Brazil U20 international is being touted as an alternative to Fekir. Liverpool say that's nonsense.

Excellent news for LFC. Teenager Rhian Brewster has agreed terms on his first professional deal. Ends uncertainty around his future. Will sign imminently, expect deal to be until 2023.

Can't believe we've signed some kid instead of Lionel Messi. Fuck off FSG.

[Red House]

Jurgen Klopp influential in Brewster decision to stay, despite interest from three German clubs. @LFC boss will not sign an out and out striker this summer, in part because he believes in the potential of the 18 year old, who will be promoted to first team squad

Good news about Brewster. Hope he gets some minutes in games this coming season.

If only there was a quip to chuck in about Brewster now being financially set up for life.

Punky Brewster?

[Anubis]

Brewster's Millions.

[Jairzinho]

I don't get it.

[Anubis]

It's a Richard Pryor film.

Has anyone seen much of Brewster?

 

If Klopp is genuine about not signing a striker so he can play games then he must be good. Definitely needs to be more Rashford than Solanke.

He’s more Fowler than either.

Well that'd be nice.

Paul's not wrong, he's a lot more like Fowler than either. However, scoring loads of goals at youth/U23 levels is a different thing to doing it at the highest level, as we've seen with several players over the past couple of decades. He has as good a chance as anyone at being very, very good, though.

 

I will say that I still think Solanke could turn out to be very good. He's the sort of player who might need a loan to get some experience because his underlying numbers are excellent, just needs to get the goals and assists to go with it. I doubt he'll go out on loan next season, though, because it would be pretty risky to go into the season with only Firmino and Brewster as true centre forwards.

[Anny Road]

Can we not buy Neuer? He is good at catching. Not punching.

Just conceeded on his near post.

No law against it. It happens now and again.
