Summer rebuild 2023

[Judge Jules]

So the best examples you can think of are (a) a threesome, not a duo, which played together only occasionally for an international side, and (b) a duo which never did play together but which you only cooked up now when trying desperately to rescue a losing argument.

An example which would actually be relevant would be Patrick Vieira and Emanuel Petit in the Arsenal "Invincibles" side. Vieira mainly hung back, Petit mainly bombed forward but the two of them interchanged well and at their best nobody else could cope with them.

30m. We sell for less than that and we're suckers.

 

[binomial]

20m is about right for him, no one in their god damn minds are paying 30m for a #2 with about 10 games.

 

[rubans]

And 50m for Spurs

 

[Fabio]

20m is about right for him, no one in their god damn minds are paying 30m for a #2 with about 10 games.

Southampton paid 15 for bazunu.

Nah man. Those recent cup runs 100% added on 10m value

 

[bluebell]

Hopefully it will trigger an AUCTION, £30m.
Assuming we get Ali Mac for £70m
Here' the reported price for possible targets
Mount (£60m)
Ugarte (£53m)
Rice (£100m+)
Gallagher (£50m)
Thuram (£53m)
Kone (£44m)
Lavia (£50m)
Yusuf Fufana (£20m)
Enzo le Fe (£25m)

They did but he played every game last season for Portsmouth and received 1 of the player of the season awards.....plus he's Ireland's #1. This is how we got similar value for Wardy, sending him out on loan to prosper.

To ask double that for a guy with about 2 games is a bit arrogant.

People don't think Fab is worth a penny more than 20m but apparently Kelleher should fetch 30m? Make it make sense.

I remember reading somewhere that it does indeed end in 2024 and that the option is for a further year to end in 2025. Besides, both parties would have to agree to exercise the option. All Rice would have to do is refuse it.

None of us are likely to know the clauses - but aren’t these things sometimes automatically triggered if he plays a certain amount of games in the season prior to the extension?

 

[Judge Jules]

I wasn't aware of that TBH. Furry muff if I've got it wrong.

 

[Markeh]

I know football is business but i wouldn’t want to be pricing Kelleher out of a good move either. Seems like a decent guy deserving of the chance of a good career, hopefully to return to us at a later date as a top keeper. I wouldn’t like to Nat Phillips him.

Depends where he wants to go. I'd price him out of a move to spurs for sure

yea fuck Spurs obviously

What we've done to Nat is wrong because we clearly could have played him more than we have.

Kelleher is a major asset and we should only be looking to sell if he agitates for it, doesn't want to go on a loan, and we receive a substantial fee for him.

Liverpool interested in signing 34-year-old – ‘High up’ on list of ‘candidates’, Schmadtke knows him very well

https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/...madtke-mit-zieler-zu-klopp-83858092.bild.html

I think I see why Schmadtke and him can get along well. 😛

 

[bluebell]

It was never on the cards, he plays in France (not Portugal. Holland, Germany or England)

 

[King Binny]

Maybe we should look to bring in whoever is coaching Brentford's throw ins 😛



[article]Liverpool initially ranked 18th in the Premier League for taking throw-ins when under pressure, meaning they often lost the ball when restarting play but Gronnemark's coaching saw a dramatic rise at Anfield, to the point where they were retaining possession over 68% of the time. That was a tally which took them to the top spot in England and second in Europe behind only FC Midtjylland, who were the other club who the specialist was working with at the time.

......

The ECHO understands Liverpool are looking to use their own in-house throwing coaches from next season onwards as Klopp plots a way back towards the top of English football this summer and with Gronnemark unable to visit the club's Kirkby base of often as he did at the beginning of their working relationship, it's been mutually decided that he will step now away for good.[/article]

Forgot about his home grown status earned during his Man Utd days.

 

[tomasjj]

Anyone from the relegation bargain bin we should get?

Southampton down now.

A right back cover.
Lavia?
Bella-K seems very injury prone.

 

[Markeh]

Ward prowse, Gnonto, Caleta-Car maybe

 

[Markeh]

Definitely talent there at Leicester if they go down

I would take Lavia and possibly JWP if he was available for under £20m to do what Millie did, play everywhere

 

[Judge Jules]

I wonder about JWP. A Southampton fan was on the radio earlier saying that, while he's mustard at dead ball kicks, his general play is very ordinary.

 

[The Nomad]

He'd be the ideal milner replacement. Very good at winning the ball, not a creator outside of set pieces but tidy enough.

 

[Hyena]

Lavia is a v good prospect but with the hype around him he'd go for £60 million easily. I'm not sure he's worth the pain.

ABK might be worth a shout if cheap. That Carlos Alcaraz kid has also looked sharp and hungry whenever I've watched them.

 

[Hyena]

We'll never be interested but I really like Gnonto.

Be a great understudy to Salah

 

[Hansern]

Ward Prowse will cost a shitload though. Let someone else spend that money on him.

Made for Villa or Spurs, outside bet on Newcastle.

 

[bluebell]

Everton willing to sell amadou onana for £50m if they go down.

There’s an air of Karius about him.
