...... as if.

Liverpool have begun negotiations with Lyon regarding the transfer of striker Alexandre Lacazette. (Le10 Sport)

 

[cloggypop]

Some bloke on Twitter has been saying that for a couple of days. I didn't put it on here as you can use Twitter for that sort of nonsense.

Who is Le10 Sport? Proper media outlet?

Also, does anyone here watch enough French footy to have a reasonable opinion on him? His numbers look decent enough.

Looks like some sort of Sky-like sports channel. Full article here :

100 million euro. Bargain.

Would be an amazing signing. Been singing this lads praises for two ears now. Time to get him was last summer

 

[Hansern]

Aulas has already commented on this and said we havent contacted them and nor do we have the money...

 

[Hansern]

He's also having a go at us on Twitter about being in the Europa league.

I know we've all heard you.

Better than a mouth and a nose if i'm honest.

I watch the odd L'OM match and seen them play Lyon a few times and keep an eye on French football in general, so I've seen this guy about half a dozen times I s'pose.

He's outstandingly talented, and far far too good for Lyon and for French football. Always difficult to know how someone like that would adapt to the premier league, but I'd be putting my money behind him rather than the Benteke's of the world.

He's the sort of player Wenger would sign.

 

[Halmeister]

Been saying it for around 18 months - we need to sign this guy if it's even remotely possible.

Whats wrong with Rodgers and the board? Why the fuck don't they visit SCM and then they can be sure to find the right transfer targets.😉

Ta.

 

[ibromurph]

This is the player we should have signed last summer. I'm not sure it's possible now.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

No.Chance but yes, he'd be like Suarez with us.

 

[Best Believe It]

We can get him, but we need to move quickly, bid exactly what Lyon want and offer him a lot of money. We've clearly got money to burn if we're seriously considering spunking £30 million on Benteke.

Some European football journo was saying on the radio earlier that Lyon want to keep him for at least one more season to see them into (a) the CL and (b) a new stadium. If we *do* get him he'll be horrifyingly expensive and we can kiss goodbye to buying anyone decent for the other positions we need to strengthen. Can we afford that, in every sense?

Can we afford to bank on Sturridge staying fit ? Or our transfer committee buying a striker with potential instead of goals ? And hoping it all works out ?

I think so, especially given the cheap deals of Ings and Milner. We desperately need some proven quality up top. For my mind he's the one worth breaking the bank for.

Can we afford not to and spunk £32.5m on Benteke instead.

I'd want to know what horrifyingly expensive is - £40m?

 

[Rafiagra]

I can't see that we could get him. It'd be the next Mikhitaryan(sp?)/Sanchez saga.

One of the most pissing annoying things about last summer is when we had the chance to sign these kind of players, we signed ones we'd get any day of the week without CL footy.
