Summer '09 Transfer Speculation Thread

[Maldini]

From what I remember on the Alonso 25% thing it's not 25% of the total fee it's 25% of our profit, so for example if he were to go for £18m they'd get about £2m. Could be wrong on that though

[The Infamous_LF]

Fuck Tevez

 

Lavezzi is like him but with pace and cheaper. Would 10 times out of 10 buy him over Tevez

[Joe Le Taxi]

Lavezzi is shit in that video 2 pages back he just kept running into players. He would cost 22 million and Tevez would cost 26. How much would Mata or Silva cost?

[Heinze]

lavezzi > tevez

[Salou]

The music to that video is shocking.

[Wor Horse]

Me cousin's just said Silva deal is done.

[Superjari]

Who is your cousin and is he reliable?

[Wor Horse]

Said he got a text off his mate.

 

Meh. Make of it what you will, probably shite.

[Glen C]

If we buy silva that will be just money thrown away imo. The guy is majorly overrated.

[Wor Horse]

I don't know, I reckon he's kwalitee.

[Guest Felix Unger]

Never heard of Lavezzi but going by his youtube stuff he looks awful.

[Funkasy]

when players are good on youtube people say they are bad, that must mean that when they are bad on youtube they must be good.

Rafa Benitez must learn from Gerard Houllier's mistakes, says Sammy Lee - Telegraph

 

Benitez has already drawn up a list of transfer targets, with Gareth Barry, Carlos Tevez, David Silva and Glen Johnson his four priorities. Financing those moves will be an issue, though.

 

He is likely to be granted just £20 million for one major signing by owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett, although he may add to this through sales.

 

Andrea Dossena, Andriy Voronin, Sebastian Leto and Ryan Babel will all be sold if appropriate offers are received, but Benitez insisted he did not want to sell his most saleable asset, Xabi Alonso, although Real Madrid are confident a substantial bid would tempt Liverpool to cash in.

 

Reports in Italy that Napoli have rejected an £18 million offer from Liverpool for the Argentinean international Ezequiel Lavezzi suggest he can be added to a list of potential Benitez targets.

Odd article.

 

Silva, Tevez, Johnson and Barry are the priorities, yet we have made a bid for Lavezzi?!

to get a decision out of tevez and force the price down maybe. If he doesn't want to unsettle his family and wants success we are his only option. Bizarrely if united dont buy him we will be in the driving seat for a very highly rated player

We can't put all our eggs in one basket.

[Guest LFD]

We can't put all our eggs in one basket.

 

But surely we'd try and get our first target before moving on to others?!

[StevieH]

Maybe we are.

[INTORRESTING]

put an offer that will not be accepted to kick start something is a tactic as is bidding for a back up early knowing they will wait for you. Pranjic is sat by the phone 24 hours a day!

[Red-Ed]

Anyone know much about him?

 

From the Telegraph:

 

Link - Rafa Benitez must learn from Gerard Houllier's mistakes, says Sammy Lee - Telegraph

 

Quote - "Reports in Italy that Napoli have rejected an £18 million offer from Liverpool for the Argentinean international Ezequiel Lavezzi suggest he can be added to a list of potential Benitez targets.

 

The forward, who is thought to be keen to leave the club, wants to play in the Champions League and would be a viable alternative to either Tevez or Silva.

 

His agent, Alejandro Mazzoni, said: "The offer from Liverpool was genuine, and came with a £2.5 million yearly salary." Aurelio De Laurentiis, the Napoli president, insists Lavezzi "is not for sale, unless an offer too good to refuse arrives."

I watched it with the sound off. :whistle:

[Kopkid09]

I was about to post the same question, heard people on other forums talking about him,looked on that famous website and he looks quite direct and pacy,not sure if hes an out and out wideman or a central striker?

 

If we do go higher on the reported bid we have made,is that maybe going to be our most expensive signing this summer? if so then you can rule out getting Tevez who id love at this club,hes made for Liverpool.

[Guest The Chimp]

Another one before I go out.
