Transfer Rumours 21/22

Not open for further replies.
2 question marks still remain for me...
Philips and Van den Berg

What's going on there? Why is it so hard to sell Philips?
I'm expecting VDB to go out on loan again.
 
Cucurella must surely be holding out for City. Chelsea seem all over the place with their transfer approach.
 
Sarr has gone off the boil - something not right there with him last year at Watford. I think any chance he plays at a top tier club has gone - Villa, Leicester, Crystal Palace - that’s it for him.

Besides - he’s a forward - thought you wanted a midfielder.

Don’t go looking for Moron - you’ve been banging on about a new midfielder for weeks - if you list consists of Nunes (because he popped up on a Twitter feed), Laimer, Ward-Prowse l, Ramsey and Sarr, then you’re answering the question why we’re not signing another midfielder.

I don't give a fuck who, as long as he is a good fit to come into the team straight away without needing that whole time to bed in. I can help people like you that think we have a load of fit midfielders who don't suddenly break down, cos they always do and we are one injury away ALWAYS to having a very average midfield.

Also, if you are saying we cannot find any player around established leagues at the right price who would fit into our team then either we are doing something fucked up or our recruitment is limited in scope despite having all those atomic physicist doing the data bollox. It's a fucking joke actually, considering in football there are more players that play in midfield than any other position.

That’s exactly what I’m saying - out of all the midfielders in the world, there are very few that would walk into our team, integrate perfectly, be better than what we have, be available at a reasonable fee and make financial sense.

That’s what happens when you’re one of the best teams in the world.

We are not “one injury away from having an average midfield” - stop being a hysterical fanny.

If they’re not as good or better than Fabinho or Thiago they aren’t getting into the team - so they need to be happy sitting on their arses on the bench. They need to be better than Harvey, Jones, Carvalho and others have the potential to be - or why would we not give them the chance, should it arise, to step up.

Also, Hendo is captain, so he’s likely to play more often than not and Milner is happy with a utility role at his age.

I’m all for replacing Keita - but I think that’s the point of Bellingham.

Otherwise all you’re suggesting is pointless signings to fulfil some personal craving.

I’ll say it again - don’t discount the importance of the likes of Ox & Minamino who don’t kick up a fuss and create disharmony when they’re not playing - look at the toxic culture at Man Utd.
 
If we truly were in the market for warm bodies in midfield, then we would have signed Wijnaldum on loan. It would have been the most logical signing.
We didn't, which suggests that Klopp is happy using Curtis and Bajcetic there, along with Fabio and Elliot.

Logic might be where Moron loses it a bit.

There is no personal craving - I would rather we didn't spend money. What I feel is very simple:

1) I always feel that an injury to Fab, or Hendo would fuck us up. As for the others, they are just prone to injuries at any given time.

2) The games we drew last season all came down to us losing control of the midfield battles. At times you notice that faced with an aggressive opposition that sometimes take the game to us, both Fab, and Henderson weaknesses become exposed.

Also I am a big fan of Curtis, but I think there is an issue with Klopp trusting him. I think he is exciting to watch and that 20/21 season, I thought he was our only decent midfielder. But something has happened since then.

As for Ox, I think he is finished, and don't even count him as As an option. Also my arguments have always been about wanting a midfielder, no attacker, I was happy with the likes of Taki, Origi as backup front men.

I just know by week 4 of this season, we will be scratching our heads for fit bodies in midfield.
 
That Schmeichel move seems very odd. Not really an earner for a Leicester in financial trouble.
Would not surprise me if there was a falling out behind it.
 
Only had one more year on his contract. But something is going on at Leicester. Only club in the top leagues in Europe that havent signed a player yet.
They said last week that they would only sell Schmeichel if they could get a replacement but now Rodgers is talking up Ward as his new nr 1.

Maddison could be off to Newcastle and Chelsea want Fofana. In the shits financially maybe.
 
I’m pretty sure Schmeichels stats have sank like a brick in the last season or so, the end is nigh for his career at the top.

The weird thing is selling your no.1 with seemingly no replacement lined up.
 
Could well be. They've signed two or three players, but overall it doesn't look like they'll be splashing the cash that much and Ward is a good keeper, if not quite LFC first team level. I couldn't give a hoot about Leicester but hope it works out for him.
 
The one thing I like about Leicester is them signing lower league players/bringing through academy players like Maddison, Barnes, Justin, Dewsbury-Hall. Maybe the lack of spending might see another young player or two making it to the first team.
