Dembele is 24. I'm not saying we should rehabilitate him, but he has plenty of time. It's not similar to someone like Hart. 

Dembele is a flop. If you watch the games for Barcelona they are desperate to get rid of him. He's as far away from the kid that burst through at Rennes as it's possible to imagine. He's been perpetually injured for 2 years. Klopp will want nothing to do with him, and rightfully so.

Barca are a joke, though. They tried their best to get rid of Coutinho as well the entire time.

Coutinho's a significantly better player. Dembele would be lucky to score 5 goals a season in the Premier League. He's not prolific enough to warrant a place in the front three, especially when there are players like Nkunku and Raphinha that could easily hit double figures without the baggage and wage demands. 

 

It's the type of deal that United would do pre-Rangnick. Big name to excite the fans, but the truth is, nowadays, he's a nothing player.

Yes, Dembele could score more, he could have turned out way better. That wasn't really my point, though. Barcelona, like Man United recently, is where careers go to die. They ruin everybody and everything. His career at the highest level is not past saving. It doesn't mean it should be us, though.

We've heard this all before about rejuvenating a wonder kid. It never works. It's Mario Balotelli all over again. 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Dembele is a complete non starter.

 

Way too much money, way too much attitude, way too many injuries.

[Lee909]

It's the wages with Dembele. If you were talking even 150k a week I think they'd take a chance with no transfer fee. But the signing on fee and wages he wants are just ridiculous. He knows PSG will pay him well  with likely other smoney from totally legit ambassador roles for Qatar. Or Newcastle who will happily overpay to get names in

[m0e]

I'd only sign him if Klopp tells me to.

How the mighty fall. And so much of it is Whisky nose fault

 

Manchester United will let England winger Jesse Lingard, 29, leave permanently this month, with Newcastle interested in signing him. However, the Red Devils will not let Lingard join West Ham or Tottenham as they do not want to strengthen a top-four rival.

Oh, my.

 

That is truly, truly a beautiful thing to read whilst hungover and feeling a little sorry for myself.

James Pearce and the Athletic are on the Fabio Carvalho train this afternoon.

 

Didn't consider that he qualifies as a homegrown player.

Someone like Carvalho is a no brainer. Would just pay a tribunal fee at some point, I imagine. Him, Elliott and Jones would be a damn good young English midfield core.

[Lee909]

Laughing at the reports in the national press that we may struggle to get him over bad blood with Fulham who may prefer to sell to West Ham. 

 

Yeah cause Fulham hold the cards with a player who contract runs out in 6 months

[Scott_M]

Apparently it’s cites a story in the Echo. Damned if I can find it, so I assume it’s bollocks. 
 

If Traore was £20m and was bought in as an upgrade to Minamino or Origi, I’d likely be Ok with it. However, it would be a signing I’d struggle to get excited about. 
 

[TheHowieLama]

GAZZUMP!!

[TD_LFC]

Unless the price is too good to turn down I don't see it, doesn't fit the profile of our wide forwards at all.

[Bjornebye]

I really hope Traore goes to Spurs. 

 

 

[Chairman Meow]

Traore is fucking shite. 

[Lee909]

 

 

 

[Lee909]

I'm shocked that Conte is starting to kick off over not getting the transfers he wants. Whoever saw that coming

Especially when we've let Fulham pay as 12months later on the Wilson transfer.

The only person who will be happy that Traore signs for Liverpool will be Purple Aki.

What’s being English got to do with anything?

[aws]

Traore would be a good addition to the squad as I'm sure Jurgen could turn him into a real threat.  Probably a bench option but let's face it we're not shelling out for anyone good enough to walk into the side.
