Summer 2023 Transfer Thread

[Carvalho Diablo]

So, Endo. How long before he needs a (bun)knee op?

[TD_LFC]

Potential fee will be interesting, if we're taking a fly on him as a 2nd midfielder behind a Doucoure to re-allocate some of the funds towards a CB then fair enough.

 

If him and a Gravenberch are our midfield options then no thanks.

Just bid for Wataru Endo. Whoever that is. From Stuttgart. Mad night this. 

I read that as a statement from you. Waturu Endo is the player we should sign.

Ok I did a 4 min FM and YouTube scouting run of our new Japanese midfield maestro. 

 

CDM/CM. Hard worker, never gives up, great tackler, loves the short passes, 89% passing accuracy. Great at headers even though he is only 178 cm tall. Practically never injured. Sake time.

 

 

I’ve just done the same with a different highlights clip. 
 

He doesn’t actually look that bad. Gets stuck in. Seems tidy enough on the ball when he wins it back and seems to like a long diagonal out to either flank with either foot. 
 

There might be a step up from the Bundesliga to the PL for him to deal with, but he looks to have a decent skill set. And fairly well experienced too.

A stop gap until Andre comes in Jan??

[The Golden Eel]

DM who can play at CB, according to the usual places. There you go, that's both signings in one

 Endo can supposedly cover CB on both sides as well.

[Scott_M]

It’s the Endo of the world as we know it.

 

Not sure I feel fine. 

[Denny Crane]

The Japanese James Milner. 

[YNWAViking]

Endo an era.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

Look, we can react to this in a shoulder shrug "lets see what happens" way, and I think a lot of us will. The window has become such a farce that it's almost likely that we will all laugh in bemusement...I mean who the fuck can be arsed to do anything other than laugh at this.

 

But in all seriousness, this is a total disgrace and a massive show of negligence. The club has spent years now building up to this massive rebuild (which they have actively been negligent on) and this is the fucking crescendo we've been treated to?

 

Heads should roll and I don't mean klopp, but I do mean more than that fat vaping bastard. Asleep at the wheel cunts. And Jurgen Klopp, I fucking love you, but I do not trust you to be our sporting director.

[TD_LFC]

What was Klopp's comment about replacing Milner's role a few weeks back?

[Strontium]

Wat ar u doing Liverpool FC?

[Anubis]

Fuck it. Looks like he’s here now.

 

Bow to your Sensei.

He’s five foot eight. Not for me. Midget

He is only 176 cm FFS!

Ornstein says yes

[an tha]

Endo is 30.

 

Surely, surely not....

That actually makes sense, to a degree. 
 

Fabinho, Milner and Henderson are all gone. The back up options in midfield, even if we bring someone else in who has priority over Endo, are pretty much all young lads. Elliott, Jones, Bajcetic. 
 

If this is our idea of a first choice player, then it isn’t great. But, if it’s a signing to add a bit more experience back to the midfield and pad out the squad a bit, then it ain’t too bad.

[YNWAViking]

This guy can play CB CDM CM that's a hattrick of positions. If he's decent in all those it's an all-round good deal. 

[Mook]

Is he maybe a stop gap until we get the Brazilian boy in January?

 

I'm not going to get upset about us signing a player I've never seen, I mean if he's been running things for Stuttgart and is 30, he'll bring a lot more experience than Lavia. 'Might turn out ok.

[Elite]

Reminds me of the Klavan signing. What a fucking world beater he was.
