Gravenberch

[localny]

So less than 48 hours to the window closing...

Gravenberch seems to be the only solid link. Not that other things won't just happen...

 

[Hansern]

He was an insane talent at Ajax. His performance at Anfield was very good. Shouldnt have moved to Bayern and that shouldnt be held against him or his talent.

No doubt he’s an exciting player for Klopp to work with. He also wont count as NHG.

 

[Fabio]

Look at this and try to suppress an erection

If we get a CB as well, you'll need to change underwear

 

[Modo]

It's good, I'm not sure about Gravenberch to be honest.

Is that team better than the one who won the CL? I don't think so.
It's got potential though.

 

[Markeh]

The rumours are Gravenberch personal terms agreed, Hincapie bid rejected, official bid made for Mo and i think also Gini off to Saudi

Wijnaldum to join up with Hendo again.

Gravenberch and Hincapie, both qualifying as U21 for this season, would be quite a decent end to the transfer window.

So it won't happen 🙂

yea maybe not the players we would’ve wanted but klopps boxes seemingly ticked

dunno how a midfield involving gini and hendo holds up when they’re both lacking in stamina, not good i guess

 

[StevieM]

Be nice to get Bakayoko in from PSVV- but they smashed the ‘Gers, so they’ll be reluctant.

If Hincapie & Gravenberch are U21 this season, then, they fill the squad positions vacated by Matip & Thiago when they inevitably go to Saudi on free transfers next season.

Means we can also tie up a Jan deal for Andre now as well.

So… there you go - Gravenberch, Hincapie, Bakayoko & Andre - that’s us sorted.

Nice dream.

 

[FreshRed]

I don't think he'll come in as a six, but more as another option at eight. Fine with it to be honest, we need more depth, and Alexis, Endo, Thiago and Badgertits can share the six duties.

I think we have some 8s that can be 6s - Alexis, Curtis, Thiago, maybe GB; some 8s that can be 10s or wingers - Harvey, Szobo; a 6 who could be an 8 - Badger; and Endo - he is what he is.

That is a lot of flexibility. We might not be excited, but Klopp and Pep are!

Of that entire list of hopeful 6's only 2 can actually tackle and intercept properly...Bajcetic, and Endo, the rest are incapable of going to ground and getting any muck on their knees. The reason why so many teams get to our defence is because we dont have any skilful interceptors, they can only chase at best. Before we had the likes of Milner, Fabinho, and Henderson and a glass half empty Thiago plus Gini. Now we got shit. This Klopp hard on for Gravenberch does not make any sense we need a combative 6.

All fair.

 

[Shay_K]

We've already brought our midfielder who could fill in at the back........but.......

knowing our injury crisis we'll see both Endo and Grav as our CB's by November.

Endo's only 5'10

 

[jason]

If we sign this guy, is it then safe to sell Thiago?

No

I think it's better in theory. Only really the front 3 you'd say is weaker. If we set up with an actual 9 however, I think it'd be class

[The Nomad]

Hincapie can fuck off. Don't want to touch any of that agents players.

Leverkusen will say no anyway.

West Ham are sniffing around Andre
And Brentford are confident they can get Bakayoko.

I think LFC => Andre interest was agent driven ... get him out of brazil when he's out ...

€30M seems a bit steep unless it is inclusive of (a lot of) add-ons. I guess we are effectively part funding the premium BM will have to pay Fulham for Paulinho

Yes it is (funding a replacement).. I also expect Bayern will insist on an add on for any profit on next sale.

 

[Hansern]

Is it? He's one of the top talents in Europe in his position imho. 30 mill sounds like a good deal.

 

[binomial]

30m euros is a great fee, get it done and QUICK LFC.

Which seems fair as they are paying one to Ajax if we do buy. Given we wanted him last year but didn’t bid against BM when they agreed €18.5M plus addons and 7.5% sell on and add in he has played fuck all for a year, I’d say €23.5m (£20M) plus add ons and a similar sell on should be there or there abouts.

That way BM cover the payments still owing to Ajax (including 7.5% presumably of the profit made) and get a boost to fund Paulinho.

 

[Hyena]

Just give them the Sell On fee. We'll be the ones laughing when he leaves for free to Brentford after 5 years in the treatment room.

 

[Bradley]

They can expect a €30m bid all they like but we all know a €26m bid will be the one that arrives through the fax machine in Germany.

I guess it’s all irrelevant if Fulham won’t sell

 

[Modo]

I don't get it, they bought him for 18 mill euro + 5 mill in bonuses.
And he's been average/poor at Bayern.
Now he's worth 30 mill?
How does that work?

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

€26m and €1.
