The not confirmed, it's really only a rumour transfer thread ;Summer 2012

[Hansern]

Hmmm, they rejected a 29 mill bid a couple of days ago. Sounds like bs

 

[hmmmmm1]

Mirror are saying that Lucas (Moura) is a down deal, Manure for 26 mill.

If scum pull this and RVP off, they will have some team

 

[Oncy]

They can have the blag Lucas.

 

[Rosco]

I doubt we'd sell him at the moment

 

[hmmmmm1]

Twitter rumours saying Babel coming back for 2.5 million......

 

[mark1975]

Ahahahaha... I think I'd go into meltdown.

 

[themn]

Ryan Babel ‏@RyanBabel
RT @Melay_8: @RyanBabel would you join Liverpool again if you had the choice? <-- 😀
Ryan Babel ‏@RyanBabel
RT @AtariGotGame: Brendan Rodgers, bring back @RyanBabel to Liverpool! Should never have left in the 1st place!

Ryan Babel won't travel to Hoffenheim's training camp with the team. Has to train with the reserves from now on.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Ahahahaha... I think I'd go into meltdown.

ha ha - would he do well as the middle man in the 4-3-3? I'm JUST asking.

 

[Oncy]

Id love Babel back. LOVE it.
We've been far too fucking aryan this last couple of years.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

This rumor is GREAT because it will bring spidey back!

 

[Mystic]

For that fee i'd fucking be all over Babel coming back, what a guy.

 

[Bradley]

People want Babel back?

Is that based on personality or footballing ability?

I don't see how somebody who generally failed to control a ball or release a pass at the right time could fit in if we go with this Barca/Spain sty;e.

 

[Hansern]

I'd never have him back. Not good enough

 

[Mystic]

Probably his peronality and the fact that there was always huge potential there. Just think, if Rodgers can make Sinclair a good player, imagine what he could do to Babel. Still he would be a squad member, not a first teamer.

 

[Vlads Quiff]

Fucking behave the lot of you, he is shite

thank you. Even though we do need some colour in the first team.

 

[RolandG]

Vlad the stone cold killer!

Modo, theres plenty of colour coming through soon.

Quoted twice cos it's so true.

Rodger's would have to be a fucking football alchemist to turn that sprinter into a footballer.

[pendantary]

But black isn't a colour, same as white isn't a colour.

[\pendantry]

 

[OLD_Lewy]

i thought babel was decent with us, was a bit gutted when he left, wouldnt want him back mind

 

[FoxForceFive]

i thought babel was decent with us, was a bit gutted when he left, wouldnt want him back mind

So we have just Carroll & Bellamy here, yet you wouldn't have him back?

You can't have thought he was really that decent!

[\pendantry]

To be pedantic what's pendantry Jon?

 

[OLD_Lewy]

So we have just Carroll & Bellamy here, yet you wouldn't have him back?

You can't have thought he was really that decent!

ha ok fair point, i guess i meant that he had the potential to be very good at times, but he was incredibly inconsistant, and i think he was more of a striker and got wasted on the wing

 

[Rosco]

Babel is simply someone who was physically advanced so stood out against youths so much so that he never felt the need to actually improve his game.

Once he started coming up against grown men he got found out.

I can't see him changing that now

 

[jan]

Rory Smith from the Times held a web chat earlier today and revealed a lot of information regarding Liverpool’s transfer plans this summer. Here are the highlights of the chat.

On Andy Carroll

Carroll expected to start training. Newcastle ready to take it slow. Nothing new to report but will on all 3 sides. It seems LFC have a valuation for Carroll and if not met he will not be sold. Will Rodgers try incorporate him or bench him + sell in Jan. There’s a point below which LFC think it might be embarrassing to sell Carroll. They dont want to do business below that. Carroll is the easiest way to raise funds because 15m or so can be raised to reinvest. That’s the attraction for buying English.”

On Champions League Football..

They expect to get back into the Champions League, but FSG have realised it wont be quick fix. Fourth this season shouldn’t be ruled out.”

On Rogers’ formation plans..

Theory is 4 – 3 – 3 with Allen – Lucas – Gerrard. Suarez withdrawn left-sided striker, Borini through middle.. Dempsey and/or another on the right. Henderson would be part of a relatively strong bench.”

On the Dempsey, Adam swap deal saga..

I ran the Dempsey Adam swap story. Its from a good source so theres something in it. Theory is Adam replaces Murphy. Fulham, though, deny everything all the time. They denied that Liverpool had enquired after Dempsey after Liverpool had admitted it. Adam’s future may depend on his fitness. He’s not a Rodgers player, though. I think we can all see that.”

On Aquilani..

Aquilani will go, but late on, when Liverpool have to bite the bullet.”

On the wage bill and outgoings..

Liverpool want rid of about 500k a week from wage bill. Getting rid of Carroll, Aquilani, Maxi and Kuyt which is 200k combined.”

On a new target..

I’m sure Liverpool are interested in Gerard Deulofeu but it has the ring of agent talk to me.”

 

[Modo]

He's not telling me anything I didn't already know. However he left out Mr Zero everything.

 

[RedZeppelin III]

if your talking a front six of lucas, allen, gerrard , suarez, borini , dempsey.......is that really that good ? i mean beyond the aim of 4th would it be good enough to eventually challenge or have we given up on that completely ?

I wouldnt worry just yet. Given that we only own 4 of those players.

 

[Mystic]

Borini is an unknown quantity, but if he's good then that would be a very good front six, it does lack another exciting attacker though.
