Summer 2018 Transfer Thread

[Lee909]

Like I say every time Ardja brings him up - so, like, twice a day - he's not the right sort of player for the way we play. We will never have him.

 

I agree 

Under Rafa or Ged he would have been a fine player, under Mourinho he would be a great CB in the mould of Terry. But on a team wanting to play on the front foot with a high line i don't think he is ideal. Klopp loves Lovren anyway i think he starts again next year. He is always at risk of fucking up but i still think we have far more pressing needs than another CB. Matip needs this year to show if he can be a second or third choice. Also be interesting if Joe Gomez gets any shot at CB next year

[Captain Turdseye]

“No disrespect to Leicester but I can't see him being there come the end of the transfer window. I think he would have been £50million before the World Cup and probably a bit more now. But I think he would be worth it.

 

“Big clubs will be after him and I'd like to think that Liverpool would be at the forefront.”

 

Thompson added that Maguire was the English equivalent of Virgil van Dijk, who made a £75m switch to Anfield in January.

 

“Harry would be an upgrade (on Dejan Lovren),” said Thompson. “He's like an English version of Van Dijk.

Thommo’s cracking up. Fucking lunacy.

I think Maguire is a brilliant player at what he does.

The problem is all of his best attributes are already covered by Van Dijk, and with the high line/pressing nature of our team his weaknesses would be exploited regularly.

 

If Maguire was the second choice in case the Virgil deal completely collapsed then I'd say fair enough good signing and he will bring something to the team we've been lacking, but he's just not necessary as things stand.

 

Virgil is the Range Rover to Maguires Land Rover.

Rolls to JCB.

The problem I have with Maguire is when the ball's at his feet. Heading away long balls, tussling with strikers, he's good at, but when he's employed to actually use his feet and his brain he's more in line with the Skrtels of this world than the Van Dijks. Perfect for a back three or a deep line, but risky as hell in the system we play.

Rolls Royce to a sausage roll.

He’s actually very good on the ball.

[Lee909]

I agree with you with that.

He is decent on the ball though i do find any English CB that can pass the ball 10 yards is thought to be some great ball playing CB. 

[Harry Squatter]

If we were going to buy an English centre back I'd rather buy Lascelles from Newcastle. More pace, scores off corners and won't cost as much as Harry Maguire.

[VladimirIlyich]

Apart from his mum

And every PL striker.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Godzilla has a smaller turning circle than Maguire. Sign him.

[The Guest]

This Lascelles talk needs to stop. He’s a backs to the wall defender who’s had about 2/3 high profile decent games. Hes not quick and he’s not good enough on the ball. He’s got Michael Keane written all over him.

Interesting choice of tattoos by the young man. I say sign him up.

Who did his tattoo?

[The Guest]

Who did his tattoo?

Mr Forically. He’s quite good apparently.

[Dr Nowt]

He looks like Conor McGregor’s suit for the Mayweather press conference, but several magnitudes more offensive when you get up close.

I use a guy in town Mehta Tarsal. Specialises in foot tattoos.

Can't decide if Macguire is a class player or just a big gormless Headtheball who's having a good tournament

The latter.

[The Guest]

He’s been pretty good in the premier league for 2 seasons for 2 different teams. There’s a reason he’s starting for England ahead of various top 6 team defenders. If this is the only time you’ve seen him though I don’t blame you being sceptical. These games have proved nothing as the standard of opposition has been Championship level at best. He’s shown how good he is in the league.

[Bjornebye]

I dont care how good or bad he is. Just look at the fucker. Ugliest bastard since Luke Chadwick had a boil on his arse. Stick him in the Bering Sea with an anvil tied to his neck.

Panama aside, you are talking out of your arse here.

The Steve Sinatra/Drogba gif was sensational.

I would say somewhere between the two.
