Summer Transfer Thread 2012

[MLB]

I think we are getting a much better player for £15 million in Joe Allen than City are getting in Rodwell. Somehow Rodwell has managed to carry forward a reputation as a top young player for the last few years despite doing pretty much nothing since breaking into their first team. This strikes me as an FFP type signing from City, but it's not a very good one. The bluenoses will surely be made up with this deal.

[silverlining]

Rodwell to Shitty. Strange one that.

 

No doubt the bitters will get way over the odds again for over-rated shite.

 

Yeah. I bet all parties regret that transfer. Everton get 28m, United and Rooney get 180 goals, four titles, a European Cup, several domestic cups and a host of individual and team honours.

 

Durrrrrrrr

[Tommy Lawrence]

Sorry,cocked up image!

[redsoxs]

anyone got that pic where Rodwell signs a photo of himself "once a blue, always a blue" think new he was going to city ;)

[Il Fenomeno]

Where has he mentioned Rooney?

 

I assume he is talking about Lescott.

[fobbierowler]

Who's this "Macca" everyone talks about on twitter, apparently he has a good track record, he says:

Sahin is close to being done

We will go back in for Walcott

Agger is likely to leave as City will come back with improved bid that could include Johnson

 

A thought on Sahin, would we not be top heavy with midfielders if he joins? Lucas, Allen, Gerrard, Henderson and Shelvey are here, plus Adam and Spearing also around?

[WhiskeyJar]

There is no point in believing anything on Twitter.

Bullshit most of the time.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Fuck it, I'm choosing to believe we're going to sign Sahin and Walcott. And Dempsey as back-up.

 

Until any of you cunts prove otherwise, that's what's happening.

[BCM]

Id rather keep Agger than sign anyone else.

Maybe get a striker or wide player on loan.

Pretty much how I feel.

Think agger will be a massive loss if he goes

[The Golden Eel]

Is the Sahin rumour a loan or permanent transfer?

[Nathanzx]

Is the Sahin rumour a loan or permanent transfer?

 

 

do you mean is the rumour just being temporarily posted to twitter and then deleted or if it is permanently up there?

 

or are you referring to the deal for the player himself?

 

:eek::whoops:

[Rafiagra]

Really don't want to lose Agger. Yes, it would be good money but we need to stop selling our best players now.

 

Fair enough if we were champions, but not to strengthen teams tester than us when we are trying to catch them up

[Kennys_spell]

Is Sahin any good? I've never seen him to be honest and have no idea what he's like or what he can do.

[Kennys_spell]

Pretty much how I feel.

Think agger will be a massive loss if he goes

 

Not that massive as he's only played in 45% of the games we've played during his time with us.

 

Good player without a doubt but just not available enough to be truly influential on us.

[RazorBack]

He was Bundesliga Player of the Year the season before he went to Madrid.

[Kennys_spell]

Sounds promising then. Do we know why Madrid are letting him go (or is it just a loan deal)?

[dickie mint]

It will be that massoive when Aguero and Tevez are ripping shite out of Coates or Carragher and Agger is in the City defence.

Would it make a difference if Agger was still with us but missed the game due to injury? and if he was injured why wouldn't you pick Skrtle?

[the walsh]

apparently tony barrett in the times saying man shitty are not willing to match liverpool.s valuation of 27million for agger lets hope they move for somebody else and that,s the end of it

[dickie mint]

Skirtle and Agger best combination-dont sell your best players thats the first rule of building a successful team.

Swansea blocked Reds request to play Allen today.

 

Seems they forgot in a hurry that LFC cancelled an outstanding payment for transfers when they were on the verge of bankruptcy a few years back (in the 80's I think it was).

 

Liverpool's wish to play Joe Allen in friendly against Bayer Leverkusen is blocked by Swansea City - Telegraph

 

 

 

Allen signed for his new club after a 5pm deadline on Friday. He needed to be registered with the Premier League before then so he could face Bayer Leverkusen at Anfield yesterday.

 

Despite being signed outside Premier League office hours, Allen would still have been free to play had the selling club given Liverpool their permission.

 

Still upset by Allen’s departure, Swansea City refused a request by the Merseyside club and the Wales international was forced to watch from the stands.

 

Liverpool won, with Andy Carroll among the goalscorers, and Allen will now join the Wales squad to face Bosnia in midweek.

 

His debut for his new club is now likely to be the first Premier League game of the season against West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns next Saturday.

But Agger was only available for 45% of the games we've had while he's been with us. Don't you think it might go through the managers mind that if he can Get £25 mill for that sort of playing record he could significantly improve the team?

 

Do you want to turn down £25 Mill and keep Agger knowing the likelyhood is that we will only get a 50% availability from him?

 

Don't get me wrong, if we could guarantee 100% playing attendance for Agger there's no way we should even think of getting rid - however, he's 28 this year and there's no reason to expect or even think that his injury record will improve is there?
