Transfer Rumours 21/22

[Frogfish]

he has started to become a bit injury prone don’t you think? I don’t think we can offer him a new contract on that basis, along with his age.

Well no not really. He's had a near exemplary injury record over his career but this season had a minor muscle injury quickly followed by a pulled hamstring (and we've seen bucket loads of them this season) and Covid. I don't think you can leap to 'becoming a bit injury prone' based on that. We really need to see how the rest of the season goes.

As for goals and assists - well he's hardly played but in fact has a goal or assist every 79 mins. There are not many better than that. I'd like to see him dropped into the AM role because I think he'd be ace there.

Yeah I'd want double that for Bobby. He offers something different and would rip up la liga.

Would rather keep him for now and move on Mane. But if we had to sell I would want at least £40-45M

 

[MomoWASright]

How many Brazilians have delivers into their 30s?

 

[LeTallecWiz]

As if.

Who on earth could you get for £20m that's better than Bobby? No-one that's who. Even Bowen is going to be £50m or thereabouts.

Money going towards the kitty? Again that's a tough call because as so many pros and managers say ... there are very few players who can do what he does. Regardless of his age and drop-off.

Put it into that kid from Salzburg and say 30-40 games a year?
Dunno

Newcastle are the only ones desperate or dumb enough to go for him. Sorry sounds harsh but he is a huge gamble

 

[MomoWASright]

He’s fitter than some of our midfielders.

You want him at LFC?

 

[tomasjj]

If Barca want Bobbo, let's get De Jong from them.
It looks like they are shopping him. He could do well in our midfield.
We would still need someone more dangerous in terms of goals, but he easily takes one of the slots next to Fabs.

 

[MomoWASright]

No. It was a dig at Thiago and Keita.

Kieta will be back soon, Ghana are really rubbish

So is Keita.

Lucas...

 

[MomoWASright]

Lucas...

Deliver?

 

[rurikbird]

Seriously though, I know what you mean – there are plenty of examples of Brazilian players performing at a top level well past 30 (just look at Thiago Silva at Chelsea or Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Lucio and many others), but not many of those are attackers – and there many counter-examples of attackers fading quickly even in their late 20's. Firmino's professionalism is beyond reproach, but there are also other factors to consider...

That’s true. However, he is dropping off at an alarming rate and I don’t see him getting back to where he was.

Are these two separate statements? Because you know Keita doesn't play for Ghana.

 

[rurikbird]

It's official. @indykaila is legit:

This could have been avoided with proper punctuation.

 

[bluebell]

Shit, I thought he was Ghanaian. Looks like we own't see him now until the end of the month

 

[MomoWASright]

Like most months.

 

[Donavan Ried]

When Senegal playe Guinea Naby Keita was the best player on the pitch

 

[Frogfish]

And that BB always spells Keita's name wrong so I'm not sure if we're even talking about our player !

 

[Frogfish]

Two games 2 x MotM for Naby lad.

 

[bluebell]

Gavi's release clause is £43m, is he worth a gamble?

 

[The Nomad]

No. He doesn't even know how to tie his shoe laces.

 

[King Binny]

 

[Modo]

Of course they're signing him. Danish manager, half the team also Danish makes sense.
