Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

Thiago. Dunno. Quality player, injury prone though and means Gini is off, probably.

[Guest Alex_K]

Thiago and Wijnaldum are very different players.   Not mutually exclusive. If we can shift Shaqiri, Lallana and maybe Wilson to more or less cover the salary and some of the fee for Thiago then what’s not to love 

[TheHowieLama]

I would be very surprised to see Gini sold.

Klopp has alot of love for him and unless he has asked to leave this season (highly doubtful) he would be way better off leaving - if that is what he wants to do - next season as he will earn a shedload more cash as a free.

Grujic could go too.

Yea, he will never make it here.

Would be ecstatic with the Thiago signing but will believe it when I see it. The player & the deal profile seem absolutely opposed to what we’d normally be after. Rummenigge directly name dropped us though which is very unusual so guess we will see. 

Yeah, but he also said we'd not contacted them over it so he could just be creating a market.

Hope so. The one type of player we're truly missing, and he's probably as good as anyone in the world in that position. Fabregas-to-Chelsea in 2014 vibes; the quality of player who'd come in and just swan over the league even if he isnt available week-on-week

My mind must be playing tricks with me. I thought fabregas was bang average at Chelsea. 

 

Does anyone know who his agent is? With all the moment we spend on agents, I'm guessing we have some agents who are "ours" so to speak?

His father, Mazinho.

He split from Pere Gaurdiola about 3-4 yrs back.

I'd rather get rid of Keita than Wijnaldum. I'm fed up of waiting for him to get some consistency. I know he's been unlucky with injuries but he's one of the most frustrating players who have ever played for us. 

I think that will be the case.  Gini will sign a new contract.

[Sugar Ape]

I don’t think his injury record is quite as bad as being made out. He’s definitely had his problems but he’s hardly a Lallana or Sturridge. Last five seasons he’s played 42, 41, 32, 42 and 35 games. Not too bad.

Definitely playing tricks. First season he was imperious. By the end his legs had gone but he elevated them from also-rans to title winners in alongside Costa in 14/15.

That reads like Redknapps England career

A pubis bone contusion can happen to anyone, ask your mum.

I hope this doesn't mean Milner has told Klopp that he wants to finish his career with Leeds. Or we have run out of patience with Keita.

Why? As much as I like Milner - Thiago is an upgrade on both.

He must do some epic thrusting.

I think Gini is going to stay, unless he has a move to one of Spain’s big two I don’t see why he’d even contemplate leaving. 
 

I think we will shift Keita, probably for around the same money that is being talked about for Thiago Alcontâra. His stock is probably still high in Germany so maybe he’ll go back to Leipzig or on to Dortmund?

[Anubis]

I have seen rumours we’re willing to listen to offers for Keita. I suspect we value Milner’s mentoring of the younger members of the squad.

Fancy Milner (if he stays) to join our coaching setup.

 

If he goes to Leeds, we probably get Ben White in exchange plus some money on top of it.

Ben White isn’t a Leeds player.

Makes it an even better deal for us.

Interesting, I read in one of the articles yesterday about him he'd managed just under 150 games in 7 years
