Transfer discussion thread.

Reid is good. Certainly better than any of liverpool's centre backs other than Sakho IMO.

Who? Didn't Skrtel get a goal very recently?

If only Skrtel could defend.

zarate having a medical at qpr ahead of a loan move

If saints were to get rid of Schneiderlin for a large sum, throwing that toward odegaard would be ok with me. Probably ridiculously risky but could also get some good squad depth as well.

Chris Wood being linked to Derby and Wolves as a loan signing.

The kid wont be in the first team for 2-3 years and you want him to replace your best player?

With the amount of hype surrounding Odegaard it won't surprise if he ends up in the forgotten players thread in the future. It's ridiculous, everyone seems certain he is the next big thing.

I get he is playing senior football in Norway and even got capped. But it's hardly the highest standard

 

[jod23]

I still want him though. If he is going to fail, id rather him fail at Liverpool. Just in case he doesnt fail and becomes Messi MKII

 

[jd2010]

I'm not doubting the kid. Just wouldn't want him coming in for Eriksen or to be expected to be in the first team!

i dont like the way he's whoring himself around every major club

we get it mate, you've got talent.

I dont mind it if he is going to each club and checking out the academy setup and seeing what it will be like for him. If he signs for any club with half a brain they'd sit him in the U18's and develop for the first year and see what all the fuss is about first hand. Moving at the age of 15 is a big deal and I'm all for him getting the full picture of what he is signing on to. The wrong move and he could go down the Lulinha and Freddy Ady paths

Yeah but still, sign for Liverpool

I didn't like it but he's in Manchester at the moment whoring himself to us and the rags. So I've learned to live it with for a week or so.

Freddy Adu v2.0

Would saints let him leave in Jan though?

 

[chef]

This is what Atletico's president Cerezo had to say about the negotiation:"In the end everything worked out. We were working on transfer for a few weeks, Milan wanted Cerci and all of the favorable circumstances happened to complete the deal. Simeone has never asked us for anything but then asked for Torres. It wasn't easy bringing him here but we worked it out. Milan will pay Torres' wages and we'll pay Cerci's, but when we negotiated with Fernando we did with our hearts and not money. We wanted him here for competitive reasons, we believe he can help the team

Freddy Adu v2.0

Just read his Wiki. A strange strange career and he's still young.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

At 15, he already has Adu covered.

 

[Membling]

No, I don't want to replace schneiderlin at all. But if he was going to be moved out, I would like to have a player for odegaard and possibly get good cover to fill a spot until odegaard is ready.

I swear the if and cover bits in that statement were completely overlooked.

Would saints let him leave in Jan though?

We would be silly to let him go in Jan with us challenging for europe. Pretty much a if we are going to let him go I would like odegaard and a replacement if we were to let him go.

 

[Cruyff14]

I think the question we should be asking why would Odegaard go to Southampton when he was the world's biggest clubs chasing him?

 

[Zidane98]

Southampton's record with developing youth is excellent. He may see it as more of a stepping stone.

Yep, if he wants game time and development he is better off coming to us. Also supposably been getting advise for Forren that he should consider saints to develop. Highly unlikely we would get him but who knows.

 

[Cruyff14]

Also laughable to think a 15 year old is going to waltz straight into your lineup and be able to handle the physicality of the Premier League. Literally men vs child.

 

[Tulip]

Bette players than him have been lost when they walked into the youth academies of big sides.

Odegaard is a special talent by all accounts, Southampton would treat him like he is and have a clear plan in place for getting him into the first team within 24 months. A bigger club like City or Chelsea would likely buy another player in his position than trial him.
