Ludicrous Rumours

I don't want to spend that money on van dijk. SURELY we can do better for the stupid money?
 
Honestly, I dont think we should be in for him.

I get that he's strong, physical, powerful and plays with some of that no-nonsense attitude you'd like to see in your players.

However, he's making too many mistakes for my liking, and his passing game really can be annoying. I rate him much in the same category as Skrtel really. Got some great attributes but just not turned into a top class defender.

From my view we should instead hijack Andreas Christensen from Chelsea - he won't go back there unless he will be a part of their plans from day one and maybe that could be our opening. Him and Matip would make a potential World Class pairing.
 
Cool - I got a great text today off a good ITK mate. Apparently we have deffo made tentative steps for Fabregas. Fuck knows whether it will get done though. 22mill is the opening offer. The thing is (so I'm told) he's a big admirer of Klopp's (give him an arm around the shoulder approach) and I think it's pretty well known he's a big Gerrard fan. He'll be a certain starter - I'm in and hope it happens. My buddy has been known to be partial to the kiff so it could be bollocks. He was bang on about Klopp signing on though and Mane. Weeks before it was released - As I shared with my 6CM buds via PM. Just passing on the goss fellas 🙂
 
Yeah I love a good bit of goss. My mate works for the press association and gets around a bit. He's usually bang on. We'll see I guess. Happy to pass on the news.

22 mil for a 30 year old? While that may be steep in terms of our spending record, I hope it's an indication that the upper hierarchy realize that we need experienced buys. Weird though as I had always assumed Fabregas was a bit of a bottler and is only normally good for half a season the past few years.
 
I'd rather the option of Fabragas over Lucas & Stewart every day of the fucking week. In fact, I'd prefer him over Wijnaldum, Can & Henderson (one of the worst midfields we've had in 25 years).
 
2 years left on his contract and he's 30 now.

I'd be attempting to force Chelsea to renegotiate if i was in his shoes - it might be his last opportunity to nail down another big contract. Either that or force a move.

I don't really understand why we would be in for him or why he would want to make the move. It doesn't make much sense for either side. So to borrow Ryan's trademark - 3% chance.
 
James Pearce from the Echo reckons we'll spend 120-130 mill this summer. Keita and van Djik are top of the list.
That's including player sales and as we are targeting getting £70-80m, it is not an exactly overwhelming figure.
I guess seeing that Klopp has a neutral net spend so far, it is just a continuation of the more usual £25m annual net spend

If that were to happen, I'm glad we have Klopp because every other top tier manager would walk out the door.

Since Fabregas doesn't play in their positions you'll be happy to hear then that we can still start Lucas.

I hope that's NET, otherwise it's not a high figure considering we need at least 6-7 senior players and at least 4 starters.
 
Not read the thread so sorry if this is already in here but read today that apparently Jurgen is readying a bid of £80m (I think that's what it said) for Dybala. Never heard such bollocks in my life.

WELCOME BACK mate

How old are you now, 19? 🙂

Absolutely. Dybala's good, but we'd have a shot at getting Aubameyang (whom I'd LOVE us to sign) for less than that.

^^^ very underwhelming! Buying from a relegation team, he's short (178cm), why not buy a good LB like Hector who can also add some height. Honestly, if he's the best we can do, our scouting team should all be sacked
