Liverpool related transfer speculation

[StevieM]

The Badger isn't what I'd call an outstanding talent and I doubt you watch enough youth football to know this, he's not even better than Morton. He'll be sold in a season or 2 for 10-15m.

You don’t half talk some nonsense.

More truths that'll come to light that your sensitive soul doesn't want to accept right now so you pass it off as "nonsense", you probably said the same about the last 50 experiments we signed that all failed.

He isn't good enough, he's with an age group with the likes of Baleba, Wharton, Lewis, Vermeeren, Neves, Oskarsson, Belocian, Gavi, Pavlovic. They've all surpassed him and developed into outstanding talents...that's the level you need to be at now to hack it.

I guess Barca wanted Morton too.

I guess Barca wanted Morton too.

Leverkusen and Atalanta were after him.

Barca have financial problems. Barca were so desperate they signed the likes of Luuk de Jong and Adama Traore, they were never "wanted". They "wanted" Szszceny so bad they persuaded him out of retirement to sign him so he could stick around in their B side until Ter Stegen was back fit, same would've happened with Baj. They wouldn't have come knocking if Gavi, Pedri and FDJ weren't all injured at the same time and they simply don't have the money to sign a Zubimendi for example.

Barca "wanted" Bajcetic like we "wanted Kabak. Short term/last resort fixes. It's fairly comprehendible if you know a clubs on field issues and financial struggles.

Well, Morton was available...he's still available

 

[binomial]

Ok.....& where are you going with this? The reason he's still available is because we refused another loan for him. Baj needed the loan after being crocked for over a year.

I like Tah but only seen him a couple of times

Bayer Leverkusen and Germany centre-back Jonathan Tah, 28, will start speaking to clubs in January as he intends to leave the Bundesliga champions when his contract expires in the summer. Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are among the clubs interested

No problem he goes Chelsea but for £50m+ These mugs paid £80m for Kepa

Chelsea are plotting a summer bid for Liverpool and Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, 25.

Not going anywhere, just like and Fabs he needs half a season to adjust

Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa, 27, could return to his native Italy in January with Inter Milan eyeing up a loan move. (Mirror)

He isn't worth £85m, so pass

Liverpool and Arsenal will not be able to sign Ghana winger Mohammed Kudus for less than his £85m release clause next summer, with West Ham determined to keep hold of the 24-year-old. (Football Insider)

Pretty obvious where I'm going with this.
Bajcetic is twice the player Morton is.

Klopp trusted him enough to start him several times in the league and the CL.
I get it, doubts start creeping in when he's been out for a year, but this kid is, or was the real deal.

I wish he'd gone to the Championship instead.

He’s never shown it.

Klopp also trusted Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams. It’s called having an injury crisis and having your hands forced.

 

[Hansern]

How can we go from Zubimendi to Baleba? He doesn't look technically good enough to play in our team.

Baleba is an absolute star in the making. Just watch his cameo versus City. He's more than technical enough to play for us, and has an incredibly high ceiling in terms of talent.
The fee would be so high that its probably not a possibility anyway.

 

[Hansern]

It’s because we haven’t… I’m guessing Hansern’s quoting some random source off X.

Nah, I think our interest has been known for a while. Certainly a player we have scouted.

Post a link to the BBC gossip page & save yourself all the typing & quoting

 

[Hyena]

Saw a rumour about us going back in for Rayan Cherki, now that Lyon has been relegated.

That would be wild

Hands so forced he had Keita and Milner on the bench in some of those games.
Also Bajcetic was 17/18 years old back then.

 

[Squiggles]

I swear John Henry has push notifications set up to notify him of any club going bust. He sent Edwards with 20 Euro note to buy Bordeaux. We also seized on Roma's financial difficulty for Salah, Porto's troubles to buy Diaz, PSV's troubles to buy Gakpo. In every case they had no choice but to sell that window.

Buying us too, of course. The lizards get some sadistic kick out of it.

 

[Modo]

Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was keen to sign Manchester United's £86million flop Antony as a replacement for Mohamed Salah, according to reports.

Hahaha Jesus....

 

[rurikbird]

Ultimately they decided against it, so I doubt you can criticize Klopp for this. Anthony did look pretty good for Ajax; I’m sure if someone unearthes transfer threads from a couple of years ago some of us have discussed him as a serious option.

I agree with you. He's a very very good CDM and someone different to Gravenberch. Still only 20 yet people expect him to be Zubimendi? Madness.. give him time.

 

[Hansern]

In the end we didnt move for him so its a non story anyway.

 

[Modo]

I honestly think we should keep an eye on the Championship this season, there's some decent players emerging in that league.

I just had a look at a few compilations and there's a few players who impressed me.

1. Chris Rigg - Sunderland. 17 year old left footed attacking midfielder.

2. Dennis Cirkin - Sunderland. 22 year old left/CB.

3. Jobe Bellingham - Sunderland. CM/AM , 19 years old. ( Not completely unknown for obvious reasons).

4. Borja Sainz - Norwich. 23 year old Winger.

Just because you type something out doesn’t make it a “truth”.

Badger turned 20 last month and you’ve already written him off as not good enough because of.. I dunno.. reasons!!!

You’re doing that thing you always do -coveting other people’s players and making out all ours are shite.

Won’t be long before you decide Nyoni is shite too.

An 18 month long injury namely and underwhelming in a non-competitive league. Before that he did ok but again never someone I had down as an outstanding talent, which is going back to the original point.

I’m not the one round here getting my dick wet for Gordon, Zubimendi, Sesko Gyokeres, Kerkez and all these other cunts, our scouts are shit, our owners are fucking money pinching pussies and Hughes is a massive cunt. All things I’ve stuck by since the beginning, when I say something I tend to stick to it.

It’s November - 11 league games in to a season. He broke in to the team and looked good as a 17 year old - he’s had 18 months injuries.

Right now you really are sounding like a 3 year old that’s been told he’s not allowed to pick his own nose and eat it.

Yeah… we’re really shit, all those shit players we’ve signed, no money spent etc, etc is really, really fucking us up.

We’re getting to the problem though… they just aren’t buying the shiny new baubles you want and you’re going to huff until you get your way.

I remember, some time ago, when my kids were small, coming back from a particularly challenging day at work; the kids were playing up and I snapped at them saying "you're acting as badly as the people I've had to manage today" ... it was only later in the evening that it dawned on me that my team came out worse than the kids in that comparison

If I asked the wee man what his thought on Badger, our transfer strategy and our scouts are, he’d likely say “waazaaa… bijou, bijou.. baaap… uuuhhhhhh oh oh oh haazaaa” and then blow a raspberry at me…

… which to be fair is a more coherent and thoughtful analysis than Binomial is likely to come up with.

I often compare my stakeholders to kids. I know what I want to do but need them to come along with the least possible resistance so wrap it up like it’s them making the decisions when it’s not.

Don’t call Binomial a stakeholder… he’ll think you want him to kill some vampires.

Same, my most successful line is "once we get this done I'll pop finding dory on yeah?"
