Summer Silly Season 2016

[Kay Age El]

Dutch papers are claiming that Napoli have tabled a £30M bid for Ajax-striker Milik that has been accepted.

 

[Oliver Twist]

£30m? The transfer world is going a bit crazy.

£30m? The transfer world is going a bit crazy.

Yeah. They've got money to spend mind after Higuan left and this player was always going to be rather expensive.

I think it could be a potentially very good deal for Napoli this.

 

[Hyena]

It doesn't say when we bid. Possibly in the period we were looking at Wijnaldum/Coric too?

What do you mean, we "were" looking at Coric...?

 

[redhorizon2]

Yet another attacking midfielder linked, with Joao Mario's Dad saying Liverpool have had a huge bid rejected. I think he said the same thing about Inter Milan the day before.

Exactly the sort of player we....er....don't need? A small, not very quick, "technical" number 10.

Hmmm.

probably the worst montage to a senior player I've seen for a very long time

Anderson Talica ... or whatever his name is ... the lad we were linked to from Benfica

Signing for ... WOLVES!

Meh.





Talica.

That's beautiful punnery right there.

Quelle surprise. Everybody with a bit of sense could see these rumours were totally made up.

(I wonder if he will claim he "rejected Liverpool" to sign for a Championship team)

Probably more like he rejected Tranmere..

 

[rurikbird]

Pretty ominous words from the boss. I wonder who he is talking about in particular. There are more than a few names I can think of...

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp says the prospect of any more new signings depends on how players react to his decisions. “We will see how the players react on my decisions again because we will have more players than 11 for sure, and then you have to accept a few decisions and you have to take it as an opportunity. To develop a team never ends so, you have only result, result, result, but then you will have to again decide. That’s how it is. So we will see. I don’t think we’ll have a lot. But of course everyone knows about it maybe on the outgoing side will happen a little bit.”

So this one is off:

 

[rurikbird]

Schalke’s Max Meyer praises “great coach” Jurgen Klopp, hints at future Liverpool move.

Looks very possible that this kid will be a Liverpool player in a year or two. Watch this space.

 

[Frogfish]

Seems like another steal for Sevilla @ 15m Euros.

If Klopp's arrival gets the idea of playing for us into more good young German players' heads in the future too, that could be a gift that keeps on giving. 🙂

Liverpool have made an enquiry to Cologne for Jonas Hector. His fee is said to be around £22.5m [Emanuele Giulianelli] #LFC

Worth it?

Obv not a bad player and would definitely be an upgrade on Moreno - defensively - but he's nowhere near our erratic Spaniards standards when going forward mind. At least not from judging Hector's performances during the Euros.

*I am still one of three posters on here (lose estimate) that actually still rates Moreno and haven't completely given up on him - with guidance and training focusing on his defensive game and positioning he could still turn into quite the explosive LB. I like those.

Not sure if I'm on that list, but I still rate Moreno, I wouldn't complain if we signed a left back ahead of him or for competition, but there is clearly a very very good player in Moreno, hopefully more time working with Klopp will help bring that player out.

 

[Whirly]

I like Moreno still, but the issue is we generally lack depth at fullback, so we need to add a body regardless. Adding a first team quality player gives us a good problem when selecting a team, while giving us depth in case there's an injury.

Of course it's worth it !! It means Moreno won't be our #1 LB - do you need another reason ?

I'm not sure we should use the Euros as the benchmark for Hector's crossing. He had the 2nd highest number of crosses in Europe for a FB after .. .Moreno.

 

[Shadey]

Hector would be the mutts nuts.

 

[Mors]

Hector is quality, surely we're not lucky enough to be able to pull that one off

 

[hmmmmm1]

Moreno is a clown who will cost us points again Really hope he isn't our first choice Lb

 

[Glen C]

Moreno is just awful. Defensively he is just all over the place. Hector would be a massive upgrade.

Leroy Sane is in Manchester (acc. to Schalke 04), on his way to the 'City' apparently.. dammit.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Jutland, Denmark, Rafael van der Vaart has been spotted on a stadium and several Danish sources (including their Director of Sports) confirms that talks are ongoing and that he might sign for well-known giants of Europe.. ehm... FC Midtjylland (FC In-the-middle-of-Jutland).

 

[Judge Jules]

In fairness to Thunderfart though, he must be quite old by now (can't be fagged to Google it).

 

[Frogfish]

Shocking if he moves.
