January 2019 Transfer Thread

Depends where he wants to go really, if he's made his mind up then whichever club it is could make a fairly low offer (not £10m low, mind) and hope PSG accept so as not to have a stink lingering around the dressing room for six months.

If Nivea read this there's no way they'll allow the club to complete the deal.

I’d love Rabiot. He’s excellent. If we could get him for something like 20m it’d make it look like we’d been ripped off for Shaq. 

[Jose Jones]

I don’t think signing another midfielder in Jan is the best idea really. Fabinho is only just now settling in and Keita still has a fair way left to go. I think we’re best giving them the time on the pitch then reassess in the summer.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Arnor Siggurdson.

 

Make a note of the name. He looks a good prospect. Recently moved from Swedish club football to CSKA Moscow. That might've been the time to get him, cheaply, as I think he'll move on to bigger things.

Where exactly would Rabiot fit into the squad

 

Fabinho

Henderson 

Milner

Gini

Keita

Chamberlain 

Shaqiri

Lallana 

[Bjornebye]

I wont be too arsed if we dont sign anyone this January. As has been said, the midfield are starting to click although I still dont think Klopp knows his best midfield 3. If we do sign someone then its bye bye Lallana 

 

Rabiot is a very good player but if he is a bit of a dick then its a no from me. Our squad harmony is great right now. We dont need bellends rocking the boat.

I absolutely see your logic, and normally I'd agree. But sometimes, when a brilliant player is available... you should just get him. You know?

Well, he wouldn't be in competition with Chamberlain, Shaqiri, or Lallana in any way shape or form. Plus, Lallana should be sold at the first opportunity. Henderson should be replaced with Rabiot. Milner can't go on for too much longer without being used much more sparingly.

Id have no issue with Henderson and Milner going for him to come in. But I don't see Klopp fucking Henderson off. We need a set amount of home grown to forfil quotas. Luckily both are reserve keepers should fit that bill next year. Or I'd get a old British keeper in to do the same job

Didn't someone say Milner will be off to Leeds if they get promoted?

Fuck that. I'd keep him around as long as possible.

This. He has been ace this season. Far better player than Henderson.

Reckon we'd need to offer more than that, loads of other clubs will be interested

Why would he do this? He can go wherever he wants in the summer anyway and the difference to his pocket is millions.

Yep. He'd be available on a bosman to non French clubs from Jan1. Sign him on a bosman agreeme t then make an offer to PSG at that point for the remainder of the season.

Because he gets us and wants a Klopp hug? 

 

Plenty of players leave before they're due a Bosman, be it 12 or 6 months early. If he's frozen out and wants to play, he may just prefer to move now. He'll be getting his wages bumped either way.

[Anny Road]

I'd bring in another top CB if we can get good money for Lovren. His decision making is shit.

[Em City]

Rabiot is a massive talent but it seems he's a bit of a diva and proper weirdo to boot.

[Barnesey]

Story in Spain last week we are getting Pulisic in the summer.

I wouldn't rule out his surroundings being an influence on that. 

 

When he's got Neymar et al acting like divas and dancing round like a bunch of ponces then he might just be doing the same to fit in. 

 

Put him in our team with our players acting like actual professionals then we might see a better side of him.

Nice to know that Spain are only 4 years behind the rest of the world.

That video a few posts above is vile. He looks like a proper gimp and a freak.

I must admit, even in my part of the world, I didn't know, in 2014, that we would sign this guy in 2019.

I got the same information from Germany, nothing official and I don't know any ITKs or ITKs of ITKs. So just a thought. Would be nice..

[Anubis]

Evening Standard saying that we’re considering an enquiry from Palace for a loan deal for Solanke.
