Summer Silly Season 2016

[cloggypop]

It's hit and miss from anywhere. Look at Falcao.

Janssen would probably be better off at Ajax or PSV for a season or two but they can't afford him.

Here's a list of the players from the A-League that we should look at signing :

 

[Whirly]

I thought Sahin was alright/good when he was with us. 3 goals and 3 assists in 12 matches, around 800 minutes.

I don't think he was used properly by Rodgers, if I recall he was mostly just shoehorned into random cup matches. Thought he looked good in those though.

 

[Rosco]

Doesn't always work in the prem.. Alfonso Alves.

There's a massive difference with scoring loads in the Dutch league at age 21, and scoring loads age 27.

Klopp himself commented on it in an interview while Sahin was here, saying something like 'Why is he playing at 10 when he should be playing at 6'

Nothing "always works" anywhere, ever.

I don't care. He also moaned about how United used Kagawa.

They were both rubbish.

Except God.

 

[Hansern]

Utd sign Eric Bailey for 30 mill £.
Villareal bought him for 5 mill 18 months ago.

Big club in "buys player at higher price than smaller club originally paid for him" shocker.

"Utd overpaying for yet another player" shocker would have been better

 

[jexykrodic]

They aren't overpaying though, they're just using up some of the mammoth cash pile jangling in their corporate pocket. Small change for them. They don't need to look for value.

Thankfully, we've never done that every single season in the last decade

 

[jexykrodic]

If you're gonna have a silly season then you've got to spend silly money surely?

 

[Hansern]

SportBILD: Henrikh Mkhitaryan has rejected a 4-year extension with #BVB worth an annual salary of €7m. Wants to go to the Premier League.

Would love to sign him.

 

[Mystic]

I love Mkhitaryan, but I highly doubt he'd go to a non Champions League club, and he's 27, so spending the £30million odd he'd cost would be a little risky.

 

[Hansern]

Kicker saying he could be moving to Arsenal

 

[ILD]

Mkhitaryan > Mane?

 

[Whirly]

Mane's better for us. Mkhitaryan seems like a pretty typical Arsenal signing,

 

[walesnj]

Kicker saying he could be moving to Arsenal

I think he's also stated that he didn't enjoy playing the Klopp style of football

 

[Dirkus_Circus]

Mkhitaryan gets injured a lot no? Perfect signing for Arsenal.

 

[LarryHagman]

I saw on the sports news over here that Spurs were after Wanyama and we're after Vermaelen. No sources though.

 

[Judge Jules]

We were linked with Vermaelen here as well some time back, but that's gone quiet since, and I for one hope it stays that way.

 

[reuque]

United are looking to steal Mkhitaryan from Arsenal. He shares the same agent as Zlatan. Wonder why he wants out from BVB after the resurrection of a season he's had under Tuchel...

City want to get Aubameyang and Sane.

 

[Kay Age El]

I would love a Wanyama in our team - the only Southampton player we should've bought imo.

 

[HC]

I'd imagine Dortmund will find life increasingly hard in the bundesliga with the red bull Leipzig side now lurking around with all their dollar, surely it's a matter of time until they compete with Dortmund and Munich ?

 

[Hansern]

Buzzsport (France) claim Liverpool want Sofiane Boufal from Lille for around £15.5M.

 

[Skullflower]

This is more like it. Never heard of him.

 

[cloggypop]

Me neither. Exciting stuff.
