Replacing Hazard, hopefully. 

[joe_fishfish]

Really disappointed about Pulisic, thought he would have been perfect for us.

You can do better Jurgen, now you have had your teeth done you can do better, a bit more exotic.

I'm never overly bothered who Chelsea sign, they go through a manager every other year, so the players never seem to stay that long. 

 

Good player mind, but that means Hazard is off to Spain I'd imagine. 

[Numero Veinticinco]

That’s a big money signing, good player, could go either way, but they need a goal scorer really. 

[Grinch]

Looks like their Morata signing to me.  Huge fee for a player whose nowhere near proved to be at that level.

Liverpool striker Dominic Solanke is reportedly ready to snub a move to Crystal Palace in favour of a shock switch to the Bundesliga.

 

Palace boss Roy Hodgson confirmed his side’s interest in taking Solanke after the Eagles failed to score for a second straight home game against Chelsea on Sunday.

 

“It’s no secret he’s a target,” said Hodgson. “What would he do? Provide an attacking threat. He’s a proven goalscorer through all the age groups at Chelsea and England.

 

“If he comes here, it’ll be up to him to show he can do that in Premier League football.

 

“He’s someone with the profile we’re looking for, and the ability we are looking for. We know him better from the England games, and the performances with England.”

 

However, Hodgson could be disappointed in his pursuit of the 21-year-old, with a report from Sport Bild suggesting Solanke wants to join Schalke instead.

 

Schalke director Christian Heidel has a good relationship with Jurgen Klopp which is believed to be the key reason that Liverpool have agreed a loan deal until the end of the season.

 

Furthermore, the development of Reiss Nelson at Hoffenheim and Jadon Sancho at Dortmund – two fellow young England stars – is likely to tempt Solanke into trying his hand abroad.

Agree with the second part of that. Don’t think he’s anywhere near the level of our (in form) front three yet, but then few enough are. He’d be a downgrade on Hazard.

I have no idea how reliable L'Equipe are but they are claiming secret meetings between Liverpool and reps of Rabiot with view to £8 - £10 million move. Been reported in the Express too as a result of story in L'Equipe.

That would be a big surprise. Thought he was nailed on for Barca.

Barca have denied any deal for him. Mind you, that is only to keep any suggestions of foul play at bay.

[an tha]

Not sure i would want us doing nearly 60m on an unproven 20 year old.

 

 

[DaveT]

Fantastic business by Dortmund. £58m for someone who can't currently get in their first team. Meanwhile Sancho, who they got from City for fuck all, is really looking like the real deal. I like Pulisic, but we're not paying that money for a back up.

Yep. They had the gall to put out a statement saying they do everything by the book. Thing is, that book is called 'The Art Of Tapping Up Players From Other Clubs'.

[El Rojo]

The most disappointing aspect of Pulisic leaving for Chelsea is that he’ll be saying ‘YOU do the math’ and ‘I’ll buy THAT for a dollar’ in post-match interviews for a club other than us.

Got to be related to Harry Wilson’s development. He's an incredible talent and already our player.

Hasn't he mainly been used as a centre mid for Derby this season?
