Liverpool related transfer speculation

[Fabio]

I've seen Aina linked to city.

I don't know what it is(probably everything @StevieM said), but I just don't think it'll work

Good… City’s recruitment has been terrible the last few years - like they changed the password to their own scouting database, then forgot it.

Come on mate, you know how this plays out.

No-one’s free, he’ll ask for a higher salary due to no transfer fee, which will mean if it doesn’t work out we’ll never be able to get anyone to match his salary, let alone pay a fee for him.

At 28, this will be his last big contract - he’ll want 5 years, but his age suggests he’ll be falling off a cliff in 2-3 years.

That’s before you even get to the fact he’s had one good season in his life.

This is the sort of shit signing Everton have been deluding themselves with for years.

No thank you.

We can give him a 4 year contract, option a 5th.
Sure we might double his wages, he'd probably accept around a figure around 80-100k (he's on 40k right now). Not too bad imo.
When he's 32 he gets a free transfer.

If I tell you he’s actually English, I reckon there’s a 95% chance you’ll change your mind and think he’s shit.

Lol, I know.
Anyway, I'm not saying that Aina should be our first choice. There are better right backs out there and they won't be away for 6 weeks mid-season every other year.

He would also fuck off to AFCON three times a year or however many times they play that bottom shelf tournament.

A quick reminder of Momo’s red flags.

Over 27
Over 25 and never played in England
Sick note cunt

Italian?

Italian?

How could I forget?????? A pasta eating surrender monkey.

 

[Fabio]

I thought you were just listing the Aina red flags, as I misread the 2nd one (played FOR England)

Unless Aina enjoys a cheeky Cacio e pepe

 

[bluebell]

99.9% BS but there is that 0.1% its true. Rags linking us to Delap and Ayyoub Bouaddi

 

[bluebell]

Going back to RB and CB. If Trent goes do we get a CB, LB and RB and what happens to JoGo and Quansah? JoGo is injury prone and if a bid came in for £30m+ do we accept it?

You would be like Hughes not signing anyone of any note then.
We would have missed out on Bobby, Mane and Salah by the logic. Lambert and Balotelli it is for Momo.

Both Mo and Mane would’ve met the age criteria. Not sure on Firmino.

The AFCON criteria came in after they fucked us up by fucking off.

 

[rubans]

Both Mo and Mane would’ve met the criteria. Not sure on Firmino.

How, they both play in AFCON? every 2yrs.
Bobby I think no, he would been in scope I guess as he was 24 when we signed him I think.

I pressed send too quick.

 

[Pesam]

Not sure he looks LFC standard.

We are trying to replace a generational RB with 28yr old who has had a decent season.
Think we should be looking younger and hopefully have better targets in mind, Hughes has a had a more than a year to prepare for this.

We want to replace Alexander-Arnold with Bradley but we are not sure about his injury problems so buying a dependable 28 year old as an option if Bradley is injured and being able to rotate if they’re both fit will help keep both players on their toes and hopefully both players fresh as next season progresses.

Balotelli doesn't pass the Italian veto.

Liverpool are watching Villarreal wing-back Sergi Cardona.

The Reds will seek to buy a new left-back this summer as they plan to eventually replace Andrew Robertson.

Bournemouth fullback Milos Kerkez is regarded as their top choice.

However, the Daily Mail says Liverpool are also showing interest in Cardona.

The 25-year-old left Las Palmas for Villarreal last summer. Cardona has one goal and six assists in 25 La Liga matches this season.

The Reds have been following Cardona for 18 months. His contract with Villarreal extends until the summer of 2027.


Dated 3 Feb 2025:
No other full back has provided more assists than the Catalan left-back in LALIGA

Sergi Cardona Bermúdez (Lloret de Mar, 08/07/99) is enjoying a golden moment at Villarreal. The young player, who joined the club on 18th July 2024, is currently the full-back with the most assists -six- in LALIGA.

Cardona, who already had LALIGA experience after his time at UD Las Palmas – landed on his feet at Villarreal. The Catalan, after an impressive pre-season, quickly became a permanent fixture in Marcelino’s schemes.

In addition to his spectacular role as an assist provider, Sergi Cardona is the player in the squad who has played the most minutes with a total of 2253 in the 26 games in which he has been available and in which he has started. The player from Lloret de Mar only missed the game on Matchday 16 against Athletic Club (2-0) due to suspension.

Cardona’s performances, which also include a goal on Matchday 3 against RC Celta, have been, like the team, on an upward line, as his outstanding assists record has increased in the last three matchdays, where he has been able to assist Álex Baena and Yeremy Pino in the win against RCD Mallorca (4-0) and Ayoze Pérez and Santi Comesaña in the recent victory against Real Valladolid (5-1).

Cheap, under the radar, statistical outlier in assists and lots of minutes for data analysis - this lad definitely has a feel of an Edwards signing.

If we don't get kerkez we won't get one. That's how these boys roll; or was that just while klopp was here?
