January 2022 Transfer Thread

[Harry Squatter]

Don't think Origi will want to leave in January, he's happy to play the back up role and chips in with important goals every so often. If we get past Leicester we'll have a 2 legged semi final in January with a couple of FA Cup games.

 

He'll play in the games Salah and Mane will miss and will probably play when others are injured.

He'll probably play more minutes in January than he did in the entirety of last season.

I'd like to see us sign Vlahovic if Origi leaves, personally. He's big and strong but he's not one of those 'hold the ball up' type target men. He's got good technique and excellent finishing ability. I'm getting strong Batistuta vibes from him.

Anyone speak Spanish?

apparently we have offered rudiger more money than he earns at chelsea and he will be the undisputed partner to VVD. But he has given his word to florentino and that is it.

Let’s see him tested at the likes of Southampton first, we’ve seen how big the gap is between PL and other leagues at the moment. I also want to get a proper no 9 in, but my preference would be Calvert-Lewin or Bamford.

Top top trolling!

[Anubis]

Spurs are supposed to be throwing money at Vlahovic.

Vlahovic is better than both of them. I rate Calvert-Lewin as an old fashioned number 9 but he is nowhere near as good on the ball. Great at getting on the end of a cross.

You've never seen Vlahovic play, have you?

Nope. I have seen one Serie A game this season; AS Roma against mmmm…. I can’t remember. I’ve seen Milan play x2 and Inter play once against Madrid, 

[No2]

Vlahovic is not a PL striker, he's the definitive Seire A striker. He's not like Inzagi as a footballer but he is in the way he just wouldn't suit the PL. Not mobile or busy enough.

[3 Stacks]

We're not signing Vlahovic or anyone of that style. We haven't signed a "true" striker since Dom Solanke for like 3 million in 2017, or whenever it was. And before that it was Benteke when BRodge was here.

Not coming here.

[Jairzinho]

Wherever he goes, be it Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, or Southampton, he'll want to be the main man and start every week. We wouldn't offer him that, and nor should we.

 

He'd also cost a lot now. Everyone in the world bar Ardja knows how good he is. 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

I'm planning to get on here just after midnight on New Year's Eve, so I can be the first to post a picture of a yacht.

What are your thoughts on Paolo Gazzinni at Sassuolo?

He peaked with the fishing rod and the chicken.

[Trumo]

If we sign a striker, he'll be 23-24, would have played regularly over the past 4-5 years, would have improved numbers year on year, and can play in any of the 3 forward positions. Players like that are more likely to more more involved in the play, and have time to reach and play at their peak while at the club. Our patterns of play dictate that our forwards carry (at least most of) these attributes, because our midfield is generally more functional than creative.

The only player in the world that I can think of that fits all of your criteria is Christopher Nkunku.

If we still have Salah, Mane, Jota and Firmino at the time of buying a forward, there's a better chance that player will be less established and maybe younger than what we normally look for. 

[TheHowieLama]

One of the main three will be cut loose in the summer imo.

Like Antony from Ajax.

Do you think? I expect us to renew one (probably mane) and let firmino go till the end of his contract. And maybe extend him if he hasn't got himself set elsewhere and we feel he can still do a job.

There is no way Klopp leaves us with the same front 3.

 

He practically said his mandate upon signing the extension was to build the next side.
