Summer '09 Transfer Speculation Thread

[INTORRESTING]

I forgot Davies.

 

i will take bent darren

[dirty_sanchez]

Brownie, why would we get a mill for Pennant? His contract is up.

I wasn't sure so just guessed, hence the really small fee.

[Unrighteous]

I think we could get a good striker for £13M who would be good enough to do a job when Torres is unavailable.

 

Could probably get Artem Milevskiy from Dinamo Kiev for less than £13m... he was surprisingly good this season in the UEFA Cup. He used to be one of those 'potential' guys and pretty hit or miss but he's really turned into a very powerful, and skillful target man.

Lance in Eastern European player shocker!

[INTORRESTING]

bent darren would be 10 mil i reckon

[Torvald Utne]

any norwegians from code?

[INTORRESTING]

fuck, not ideal. Presume we are getting 9 for babel and about 18 for xabi?

Maybe going a bit more gung ho next year as opposed to controlling games.

I think it could harm our cl chances though

 

i hope we get everything tied up really quickly so we can duck out of all the speculation over the summer

Out Alonso and Babel.

 

In Barry & 80% Tevez

 

WOW.

 

Any idea where Babel is going and how much? My guess is 6-7m max

 

80% of Tevez....another 20% we can afford his head......mmmmm

 

€30m for Xabi???

[Unrighteous]

Lance in Eastern European player shocker!

 

He IS a good shout, though.

[Superjari]

Out Alonso and Babel.

 

In Barry & 80% Tevez

 

Whats the missing 20% on the Tevez deal? Is it the transfer fee/player holding out for a manc deal?

[INTORRESTING]

should be able to shift enough shite to get silva and johnson if xabi is going

 

i see, thought you meant 20% short in monetary terms.

[Superjari]

Sorry, I'm 80% sure the deal will be done, Its down to Xabi going first I am led to believe.

 

Any news on Silva? How much did we get for Anderson?

[Masch-D]

Out Alonso and Babel.

 

In Barry & 80% Tevez

 

What does the remaining 20% consist??

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Anything over 18m gets Xabi, I believe thats Rafa's value. Xabi's prefered choice is madrid, he wont go to City.

 

If Rafa sells Xabi, he can fuck off.

[Superjari]

I honestly don't know on your question.

 

Any news on Hamdog?

[Funkasy]

lets just make Xabi coach and rafa can play middle then.

 

if its not working, its not workin. i would hate to see it happen but it seems likely as atk says.

[23_Carra_Gold]

What does the remaining 20% consist??

 

A few posts before your own...

Anything over 18m gets Xabi, I believe thats Rafa's value. Xabi's prefered choice is madrid, he wont go to City.

 

This dependant on the purchase of Tevez going through.

 

I think anything over 5m is going to be accepted for Babel, he is out.

 

As I have already posted Barry is done.

 

The rest is guess work.

 

£18m for Xabi is shocking. That's what Barry was valued at last summer and lassana diarra was sold for £19m so we should hold out for at least £20-22m if not more.

[rebel23]

If Xabi is going to Real it better be a big fee considering what they spend on transfers with other clubs.

 

the Mail says we're leading the race to sign Downing:

Liverpool lead the race for Downing as Boro fire sale looms

 

Stewart Downing, Tuncay, Afonso Alves and Robert Huth will lead the exodus from Middlesbrough if the club are relegated at West Ham on Sunday.

 

Liverpool are favourites to sign Downing, valued at around £10million, although Tottenham and Aston Villa will also join the fight.

 

Turkey captain Tuncay has attracted interest from Chelsea but former club Fenerbahce want him, too.

 

Brazil striker Alves will spend the summer recovering from a broken metatarsal but that is unlikely to put off Benfica, while Stoke are keen on Huth and had a £5m offer for the defender rejected in January.

[Stoney79]

Why won't the Downing rumours ever go away??!!! Atk mentioned something a few weeks ago. Any more news on Downing atk? I'd prefer Adam Johnson myself. He'd be cheaper and within a year or two he'd be much better than Downing could ever be.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

If Rafa can't get Silva, I've got a feeling Downing will definitely be coming.

[Stoney79]

Yeah it seems that either him or Pranjic will come in if Silva doesn't. Fortunately I'm fairly confident Silva will join.

[rebel23]

apparently Johnson only has 1 year left on his contract and is linked to Atletico Madrid!

 

I'm hoping we're going to go for him and Downing is just cover

[Hyppia 4]

I think we need to look at this another way. What will happen to the numbers on TLW?

 

I mean let's face it we all get a semi on when we load this page up and see Alonso sporting his grizzly beard, how he has been able to front "New Amsterdam" and play as he has this season has been exceptional.

 

Are we really supposed to believe there won't be a drop in interest and traffic if we replace that fine specimine with Peter Sutcliffe JR? I'm just not so sure!

 

Do the right thing Rafa, for The Liverpool Way!
