Summer Silly Season 2016

Teixeira going to Porto apparently. From ESPN:

Joao Teixeira set for Liverpool exit after Porto deal agreed
Liverpool midfielder Joao Teixeira has agreed a deal to join Porto after turning down a new contract at Anfield, a source close to the player has told ESPN FC.
Teixeira is out of contract at Liverpool, but the club's retained list showed that the Portuguese was offered new terms.
However, he rejected the chance to extend his stay on Merseyside and is now poised to return to Portugal.
Teixeira joined Liverpool from Sporting Lisbon in 2012, but struggled to break into the first team at Anfield.
He spent loan spells at Brentford and Brighton but made seven appearances for the first team under Jurgen Klopp last season, scoring in an FA Cup replay win over Exeter.
A number of clubs had been monitoring Teixeira's situation, but Porto have moved quickly to agree a deal.
A source told ESPN FC that terms for a five-year Porto contract were agreed over the weekend and that the move should be finalised soon.

Bollocks.. We wouldn't fuck about for €4m if we were interested.

 

[JohnnyRocket]

Hmmm, if we sign Islam we can forget about a Donald Trump endorsement of the club.

Looks like an Algerian Benteke - not a lot of movement, some, but not much, and dependent on a lot of crosses and long balls. His aerial ability would like be less impressive in Premier League than in Portugal.

He could be useful for certain teams, but don't see it working for Klopp.

He may pay for the new wall around the main stand.

[Zlate]

He's off to United

Bild reporting we're interested in Jonathan Tah.

Interesting that that link resurfaces just when the Skrtel transfer seems about to get done.

Yes Tah.

Mario Balotelli's Agent: "I offered Mario to Besiktas. I'm quite confident the transfer will happen." #lfc

Fingers crossed. Then hopefully Skrtel can crock him when they play Fener.

Why would a black player go to play in Turkey? It's not worth it - no matter how much they pay.

 

[Judge Jules]

So one would think, but quite a few have done it.

Same reason they go to Russia: money

I remember the time some Qatari team offered me a job as the club mascot ... I wasn't willing to be the Jew they'd throw down the well, regardless of the handsome six figure salary.

A man of principle. Or scared of wells, I dunno.

At least you'd have gotten paid. Poor the Jeremiah.

[article]BBC Wiltshire also understands that Swindon have agreed a deal worth about £400,000 to sign Lawrence Vigouroux.

The Chilean goalkeeper made 36 appearances while on loan at Swindon from Liverpool in 2015-16.

Vigouroux, 22, was a regular in the Wiltshire club's starting side before suffering an injury in March.[/article]

I wish mate ... If that ever happens, I'll share it with you.

Likewise.

I long for the day i don't need to commit to a 9-5 (or 8-8 as it usually is)

Yah, don't get me started about my workweek. When I went to SA (goodbye savings) this Feb, it was the first time in 6 years I didn't do work for a week (I worked every fucking vacation to some extent) ...

Bild now saying Leverkusen want €12.5m for Tah.

That's something of a bargain in this market if true.

Also Kovacic linked again in Spanish media for €24m (Real looking to recoup their fee)

 

[Oliver Twist]

No Tah.
