January 2019 Transfer Thread

Surprised to see Alisson in the underpaid category too, I thought the general consensus was that it was a lot of money for a keeper.

 

Or did Chelsea skew the market?

[Jairzinho]

I think Burnley did by paying 3.5m for Hart.

About 5ml too much there

[The Woolster]

Do. Not. Pay. Attention. To. CIES.

[Pidge]

Yeah, what a load of arbitrary bollocks (hope they're right about Fabinho mind).

Premier League leaders Liverpool are reported to have signed goalkeeper Kai McKenzie-Lyle on a permanent contract.

The 6ft 7in shot-stopper was taken on trial by the Reds back in July and turned out for the club’s Under-23s in their 1-1 friendly draw against Hungarian club ETO Gyor.

McKenzie-Lyle made his pro debut at just 17 when he played for Barnet in a 3-1 loss to Portsmouth back in 2015 and has since been capped by Guyana.

The 20-year-old netted in bizarre circumstances on his national debut, going up for a corner kick in the final minute of extra time as his side trailed 3-1 to Surinam.

The huge stopper nudged the ball over the line with the top of his shoulder after attempting a header as they eventually slipped to a 3-2 defeat. (haha)

And the Guyana international appears to have signed an Anfield contract with the Reds after impressing during his trial period, as reported by the Liverpool Echo.

Posting on his Instagram account on Thursday, McKenzie-Lyle said: “Happy to start my new challenge with @liverpoolfc big thanks to @10tentalent for getting it done #YNWA”.

Jurgen Klopp also has promising youngster keeprs Kamil Grabara and Caoimhin Kelleher on the books too, with the latter believed to be seen as third choice currently.

However, the young Irishman looks set for a spell on the sidelines after he picked up an injury in a collision with Divock Origi in training on Tuesday.

How's his Cruyff turns?

If it's anything like his heading, it probably ends up being a Klavan dummy spin.

Double-barrelled name. 

Great.

[Jairzinho]

Get in. We were crying out for a new 8th choice keeper.

With all the cuckery going on we might see triple-barrelled names in a generation!

Who’d be the third? The IVF doctor?

Someone who has a double barrelled name already and then marries someone and adds their name? Barnes-Smith marries Jones and becomes Barnes-Smith-Jones.

Yeah, that makes sense. So two double-barrelled cunts could have four. Great. Oxlade-Chamberlain-Alexander-Arnold

Are they an item ?

[SammyAftershave]

And what with all these scientific breakthroughs and liberal attitudes you might also add 'by goat' to that.

[Anubis]

Origi. Not only clinging on like Mr Hanky on Boxing Day, but also busy injuring other players in training.

[ZonkoVille77]

Origi. Even better than N'gog

[3 Stacks]

I think someone on here (maybe @Nelly-Torres?) has already mentioned him, but Nicolas Pepe is an absolutely perfect attacker for us if there is an eventual need for that. Just entering his prime at 23 y.o, could play any front 3 position and has pace, dribbling ability and end product. He's also at a club (Lille) who have a clear project of selling players.

Teamtalk reckon we’re gonna buy Imre Varadi off the shite.

Ha, you'd have been about four when he was playing, no?

For Everton, yes. I can remember him playing for Manchester City, Sheffield Wednesday, etc. though.

I hope not, imagine them having a domestic down the right hand side.

[Numero Veinticinco]

I hope they get married whilst play for ya and decide to double-barrel their already double-barrelled names. 

Oxlade-Chamberlain-Alexander-Arnold, up the wing to Oxlade-Chamberlain-Alexander-Arnold. Then I hope they have a kid who go on to marry the child of Calvert-Lewin and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink. 

He’ll make a name for himself, or many more than just one.
