Summer Transfer Thread 2012

[magicrat]

I refuse to believe on any level that we will get Damiao if only because I don't want my hopes crushed. I reckon he would be brilliant for us.

Call me picky but on some level you are believing he will come because you think he would be brilliant. I fear you have a crushing in store around 11 pm !

No, I'm believing he won't come because I think he would be brilliant and we never ever sign players I really want us to sign.

 

Transfer windows of recent years have taught me to never expect anything good to happen, if only because it lessens the blow when we unveil Carlton Cole and Emile Heskey tonight.

[Liquid football]

Rumours going round that we are interested in Martius Du Sandivalle

[a stoner]

I've got a shitty gut feeling we will shift out some more fringe players but fail to get the ones we really want.

I'm not too keen on having Dempsey either, I thought the FSG ethos was to bring in young, hungry players. Dempsey doesn't really meet that criteria at all.

Not sure if it's 8 or 9 players we have shifted on so far this window but I really would like to see a good, natural striker coming in.

We've trimmed the squad so much now that any less than two players will make this a poor window. In an ideal world, it'd be three players even.

 

The first XI will have improved slightly but not in our most pressing area and the squad has been severely weakened.

Pretty sure we have already signed 4 players!

 

Borini for Kuyt

Allen for Spearing

Sahin for Adam

Ousamma for Maxi

 

which leaves

 

Caroll ?

Bellamy ?

 

Although you can easily argue that Sterling has replaced Bellamy.

 

Since 3 of the players leaving, Joe Cole, Aquilani and Pacheco did not play for us last season.

 

That doesn't seem to be severely weakened to me!

[Nightcat]

Moutinho to Spurs for £22m. Excellent player.

You keep apologising for FSG all you like. The manager himself admitted last week that the squad was weak and we needed a few in. Since then Adam, Carroll and Spearing have left.

 

Hopefully he speaks out on their lack of Investment if we don't make at least two good signings today.

Are formation as changed from 4-4-2, to 4-3-3, which means we need more players upfront.

 

You could also say, Downing as replaced Aurelio.

#lfc gawped at Damiao wages. Looking unlikely. But told still a small chance.

 

Haha, no surprise there then.

No suprise? Damiao plays in Brazil. I really doubt he earns that much. Are they expecting to sign players with zero wages?

Bet we shipped Carroll out thinking that we could just pay Damiaos wages while on loan. Then we saw his wage demands....

You call it apologising, I don't.

 

The reason why the squad was weak was because Adam, Caroll and Spearing are a pile of shite who were going to contribute the square root of fuck all. They have now gone, and will hopefully be replaced.

You could also point out that we need less in midfield and Aquilani, Maxi, Adam and Spearing where midfielders!

 

We will bring in Dempsey and hopefully another.

 

And then everyone can move onto something else that FSG and Rodgers are doing wrong.

Rodgers: "We're hopeful of adding to the squad. There are a number of players we're looking at."

[Il Fenomeno]

I meant its no surprise that FSG are not willing to pay what he earns. As they only seem interested in cutting the wage bill further and further. The fact we've got rid of 5 pretty high earners in this window and have only brought in 2 younger players and one high earning player on loan yet we are still complaining about someone's wage demands doesn't surprise me.

Rodgers: "Do the players who've left free up a whole lot of money for me? I don't believe so."

 

 

 

Its going to just be Dempsey isnt it

[Whelan]

Tony Barrett‏@TonyBarretTimes

 

Rodgers: "We're hopeful of adding to the squad. There are a number of players we're looking at."

 

Lying cunt, covering FSG's arses like that! Nothing more than a yes man, no wonder they appointed him.

[BringbackBiscan]

Actually, we'd need more centre mids, since we've gone from playing two to three.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Rodgers: "We're hopeful of adding to the squad. There are a number of players we're looking at."

 

Is it not a bit late in the day to be looking at players. I hate this last minute shit we've had months.

[Lee909]

Rodgers: "There's no doubt we need to add goals to the team. Getting people who are recognised goalscorers to come in is the no 1 objective.

[Tony Moanero]

The owners expect people to part with their hard earned and pay daft money to watch the team play, yet they are not willing to put their hands in their pockets.

[Joso]

Don't underestimate the growing Brazilian economy.

[Lee909]

Excuse in already

 

Tony Barrett‏@TonyBarretTimes

 

Rodgers: "It's very difficult to get deals done at this stage. As a manager, the earlier you can get things done the better."

Rodgers: "In the current climate it is difficult but I love being here and I'm used to working with limited resources."

[Nightcat]

But you are saying that the team is not weakened. Only a few days ago Rodgers said that we were terribly short in numbers especially upfront. Since then we've lost another 3/4 players among them Carroll on loan. Is he lying about the team being short in numbers? You seem to dismiss what Rodgers actually says.
