Off to Brighton?

Nah, he had a minor injury, and they did not want to risk him in that game. Poch was asked about it, and thats what he said.

 

[moron]

Can I just say I think we are doing a good job on SCM in forcing these transfers, you guys are doing a good job, and Klopp plus FSG is listening. The focus on a new Defender must be top of the list and we must get many pages on this thread push down the Hendo leaving (and lack of support for LGBT community)

Brighton bought Igor yesterday. LCB and probably ends their interest in Colwill.

We will be trying to sign him for 60 million plus in the winter transfer window.

We will be trying to sign him for 60 million plus in the winter transfer window.

We will be still trying to sign Colwill for the next 2-3 transfer windows..

When you say “the club will moan”, are you projecting?

Cause I’m pretty sure John Henry won’t be whinging about how he wished he had more income to spend on ”soccerball players” at the Liverpool Red Sox.

We didn't finish top 4 because the tight wad wouldn't release the money on a MF. If indeed after Lavia, our transfer business concludes, we are now neglecting a weakened defence. The only reason why (unless its Klopp insisting its Colwill or no-one) is because the tight wad won't release another £40m. He has time to prove us wrong... but past actions or lack of I should say means he won't do jack.

I'd take him, Lavia and Koopemieners and it's 9/10 window. Without Koopemieners, it's a 7/10 window.

 

[refugee]

Nope probably not. I do feel like Kelly had it. Maybe he would have made it under a better manager.

No chance. He had the talent but was always injured.

Haha, never change BB.

That rumour originated from a paper in Spain ... Nacional? No idea how good a source they are.

 

[Hansern]

Spanish paper with a story about a Dutch player playing in Italy regarding a move to England.
Yeah, doesnt half sound like a column filler.

 

[bluebell]

Can't think of a better player who can deputise in any position when needed. I'm hoping Pep is pushing for this signing alongside Lavia. €30m is the asking price. Atlanta are offering him only €1.8m a season to renew. So he would happily take £40k/w which is €2.5m. Even as a CB he poses a goal threat.

I’m not that comfortable with a short CB in all honesty.

Wiki has Murillo listed as 6ft - so he’s not exactly a hobbit.

That means he’s only 2 inches shorter than Colwil.

I appreciate some people like to get a bit of extra length in…

 

[Markeh]

To some of us 2 inches is everything

Or nothing…

You can forget that job with the Samaritans

It’s a shame he’s meant to be a perma crock or something.

 

[tomasjj]

It is just that he was so imperious before his injury. Untouchable, and it looked so easy.

 

[Hansern]

From that list there is also Tosin Adarabioyo.
1 year left on his contract, HG, 25 years old and has been very good for Fulham. 6’5 as well.
Could be a decent replacement for Matip and a 4th choice CB.

That’s true. Even below his magnificent best he’s still better than the rest. Our feeble midfield last season didn’t help either.

 

[dmishra]

Klopp wants a defender too as per Joyce. So hopefully Lavia won't be our final signing

 

[dmishra]

 

[Hansern]

Was about to post that. But a player for the acadamy should be in the interesting young players thread?

We’re also close to signing a midfield talent from Leicester. Good work for the acadamy and the future.

mentioned him a few weeks ago along with Lloyd Kelly. Lloyd Kelly can play LB too

 

[bluebell]

Not sure how we're still in the running for this

Excuses for not getting a CB is already starting by FSG stooges
