The not so Official January Transfer Rumour Thread

[Modo]

Is Draxler any good Modo?

Hells yeah. But I've only seen him like three times

 

[Halmeister]

Christ, that's exactly how our scouts work!

I'm all aboard the Draxler rumour. Highly rated German. It's a no brainer innit.

 

[Delinquent]

Innit blud.

 

[ILD]

Safe.

LFC to submit a £9m bid for Schalke midfielder Julian Draxler.

Isn't that the guy that was supposed to be pals with Kenny?
He stopped tweeting shortly before Kenny left.
Excited dance

Not sure how true that is but he has been spot on with stuff he has tweeted in the past.

Schalke looking for £16m for Draxler. Big difference from our valuation.

 

[Buddha]

Great to see the tongue back - it's been a while since we've had genuine itk info on here.

 

[Delinquent]

It's perfectly understandable that we should baulk at an apparently inflated sum for a talented foreigner. After all, we need to keep plenty in reserve for the shit Englishmen we're gonna buy.

Some Harry Kewell-esque step overs.
Makes one pass with the outside of his boot to a guy in open space.
Scores one fortunate goal by sticking a boot out.
Scores one nice goal.

There must be something in him. But it's not in those videos...

He sounds like a Bond villain.

 

[dmishra]

I've never found Draxler very impressive. He's also the same age (albeit with a bit more experience) as Suso, so I'm not sure what sense it makes to bring him in. He's not going to come straight into the line-up and make a significant impact. There's as much left in his development as there is in Suso's so I'd really not be in favour of brining someone like him in. The only way I'd want to bring in a young player in Suso's position is if he's already past the initial development curve and can come straight into the team and make a difference - basically someone like Eriksen or Djuricic.

Coutinho doesn't come into this discussion as I don't see him as an AM. He's far more likely to play as a winger IMO.

 

[Oncy]

SERIOUSLY!!?

 

[themn]

@LFC_Tongue: Draxler not a fall back option if Coutinho deal fell through. Club want both. Coutinho imminent, Schalke looking for £16m for Draxler.....

 

[themn]

@LFC_Tongue: ....probably out of LFC price range but club really want the player.

 

[Hyena]

I thought Draxler was a winger too.

 

[dmishra]

From that Macca lad:

It looks like Coutinho is done and as i said early Ince himself believes the deal is pretty much done..

Hope the info turns out to be correct..

Also by all accounts Coates has no future at the club and maybe a centre half will be signed..

Cheers

[Buddha]

Coutinho and Ince then? Great.

I hope the Tongue is right on Draxler too.

 

[keniget]

Coutinho and Ince then? Great.

I hope the Tongue is right on Draxler too.

Hope? I think that by now The Tongue has proven himself to everyone.

 

[Buddha]

Fair enough Keni, he's always spot on.

 

[hmmmmm1]

who has the Tongue been right about in the past?

 

[themn]

He called the Torres-to-Chelsea move before anybody, as I recall.

He got a load of shit about that as well.

 

[Modo]

Rodgers, meanwhile, is reluctant to let either Sebastian Coates or Jack Robinson leave Anfield on loan. The defenders have rarely figured this season but Rodgers does not feel he can allow them to go elsewhere.

‘They need to get out but unfortunately it may well be that they don't go out,’ said Rodgers. ‘The needs of the group is the most important thing.’

 

[Hansern]

Didnt the Tongue call Sturridge aswell? Knows his shit that lad

 

[Buddha]

He mentioned Henderson as Kenny's target long before any of us had heard of the lad too.

 

[Buddha]

He's never mentioned Neymar though.

 

[23carragold]

So this Draxler then eh?!
