Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

[cloggypop]

Not sure he'd be wanting to take the step down right now. He's only 21.

Thoughts on this lad ‘Sport’ @El Rojo?

More than 300m spent on Dembele, Griezmann and De Jong, and all three of them have been utter, utter shite.

Not to forget the 140 million on Coutinho. I thought De Jong was doing good, mind you am just going by some of my barca supporting friends, I don't watch barca play.

[Bobby Hundreds]

We need a threat through the middle. I love Bobby but when he's off form we suffer badly.

Don't know what Jair's talking about, De Jong has been excellent. I mean, he's not wrong about Barca being a complete mess, just about that bit.

 

I find the idea that we'd be after Thiago pretty fanciful. We're hesitating to give Gini, who is in great shape and hasn't had any serious injuries recently a new deal because he's 29. But we're supposed to be after another 29 year-old midfielder with recent history of injury? I can't see that happening, no matter what the press says. It smacks of an agent trying to drive up prices/interest from other parties, a la Nicolas Pepe last summer.

I’m going to challenge that. He’s been largely off form this season and we’ve been okay.

[chrisbonnie]

I really don't watch enough European football these days and I'm too old for computer games. 

 

Is this thiago lad any use or a bit meh? 

 

I'll hop on the bandwagon and act like a crying fanny if we don't get him. But I need to know whether he's worth moaning about first :-)

He really, really hasn't.

[M_B]

Can't see us spending 30 million on a 29 year old benchwarmer who we could sign for free in January. If we're as short of funds as we claim, then those pennies are better spent elsewhere no?

[Harry Squatter]

Just waiting for James Pearce to say there's no truth in the story.

[clockspeed]

It's like reverse phycology we all scanning looking for lb and stand in for front three and all we getting is rumours of a GK and a midfielder.

Bit like yourself think we will make do with our current midfielders and add Jones and Grujic and Keita to that rotational mix.

Okay we don't suffer badly that's a bit hyperbole but we lack the cutting edge our build up play and possession deserves at times. We're still shit  hot but we should be burying teams most of the time with the way we play. I don't want Bobby fucked off I want an alternative.

[Dr Nowt]

Hearing we’re after Terry Nutkins on a 13 year deal, as per a small pamphlet produced by the Old Monkland public library in Lanarkshire.

 

Can’t believe we’re selling Mo like this.

[Em City]

29 or not, Thiago is a bargain at 35 million. He would give our midfield a whole new dimension.

[El Dangerous]

£30m is chump change these days. It’s more the contract and length that’ll raise suspicions.

[Paulie Dangerously]

No go this Thiago lads. More info on the MF thread. Not letting the door hinges see more here

So would Havertz at double the money that's the conundrum for Klopp and the finance guys to work out.  Without being down on the player if Keita can get fit and injury free it genuinely will feel like we have signed a new player. Yip two years (possibly three) but everyone on here mostly positive ref his talent and ability let's see how f he can forge some sort of career here.

[El Dangerous]

If it was a choice between Havertz at £70m £120k p/w and Thiago for half that but slightly higher/similar wages then you’d think they’d go younger option all day long because the profit they can turn on one is huge compared to the other.

Don’t want to get any sources at the club in trouble by confirming outright, but if I was you I’d be thinking of words that rhyme with Thiago for a new chant next season.

[The Midnight Rambler]

Seems odd that we’re reluctant to give Gini a new contract, who’s the same age as Thiago.

“Only the economics have to be worked out between the two sides”. 
 

It ain’t happening. 

[joe_fishfish]

Thiago is amazing and a clear upgrade on our entire midfield, but it would only be a good deal for us if he had a basic wage of about 10p a week and an £80k appearance fee. Only makes sense if the club doctors are getting lonely now Sturridge has gone.

LFC: "We'll give you 10 million and a few boxes of Erdinger that Robbo and Joe haven't drank yet"

 

Bayern: "We would like 35 million"

 

LFC: "You drive a hard bargain. How about we throw in Dejan Lovren, Adrian and a family size pack of Walkers"

 

Bayern hangs up phone.

[Numero Veinticinco]

He’s brilliant in the transition. I’d like him. 

[BeefStroganoff]

If this Club thinks it doesn't need reinforcements they are living in la la land. Yet again you see last night, when injury hits, we have to make do with Fabinho playing CB against one of the best attacking sides in the league. 

 

Its fucking ridiculous. Matip needs to go. Lovren needs to go. Origi is a waste of space and needs to go.

 

Elliot, Jones and Minamino cannot be relied on. Nor can Brewster.

 

Get your fucking chequebook out because everyone is gonna be gunning for us.
