Transfer discussion thread

[RossFC]

So Liverpool are going to buy the title because they can't win it honestly like Chelsea and Leicester the past two seasons. Thought Klopp was better than that.

Update post-transfer window. Net spend over the last 4 windows under Klopp comes to a grand total of 10mil.

Pretty sure out net spend will be -£70m when Costa is sold

If you want to believe the Coutinho rumours it could be -130mil. Surely a backwards FFP rule against that?

 

[chef]

At the end? Lukaku?

As much as im pissed we missed Rom Morata is a fantastic 2nd choice. Has been pretty good so far.

Cant really complain to much about that.

 

[chef]

Lol.

Snubs from Barkley, Lukaku, Llorente and others along the way.

Drinkwater was signed a a 4th choice CM, not sure many other clubs bat that deep in the CM.

And all clubs got snubs, we arent an island there

So FFP? What they doing about PSG?

They didn't break any rules so UEFA won't do anything is my guess.

After tomorrow?

Why would snubs outweigh who they actually signed?

They signed 2 best XI players and 2-3 players that will be very good squad players. They also didn't lose anyone besides Matic and likely Costa, and they've upgraded on these players anyway. They've done very well.

Only City signed more XI and squad-quality players than Chelsea did.

 

[BluesMan]

Huh?

Rudiger, Bakayoko, Drinkwater, Morata is horrendous? Gee whiz.

Quote the wrong post? SM said horrendous.

 

[BluesMan]

Havent seen any of our new costa play, but I like his name

Just seemed to be more and more high profile this time.

Forgot the ox snubbles too.

 

[RossFC]

lol at 3:20

 

[Fryer Tuck]

Darn you Leicester, why must you always delay the annoucements. I mean, I'm sure we got it done, but I just want to see Silva with the shirt.

He can't wear number 23, because of Leo. I also wonder what will happen to the number 4? (Dragovic is wearing 27, both as a replacement for Wasyl, and because of Fuchs wearing 28. We really like our 20s.

It's baffling that you count Ox as a decent or high profile snub, yet don't count Drinkwater as a good signing.

Where did I say that? I was just pointing out Ox snubbed them.

"More and more high profile" he added to the volume.

 

[PendlePie]

Who cares who snubbed them - Mbappe snubbed City, Bale and Sanchez snubbed United just to name a few.

They signed 5 quality players and only lost 2. That's what matters.

OK. I think they had a poor window and still haven't shifted Costa. They sold player/s the manager didn't want to sell. They got maybe one first choice target in. They were rushing around on deadline day to make signings.

You think they did well. That's fine.

 

[go you pups]

he's so meh. He played ahead of far superior players because he was a big money signing. Barca's transfer dealings over the last few years are a bit of a joke.

Yet they only lose the title to the all conquering Real Madrid on goal difference...
Interesting move for him

He was highly rated at Atalanta, but went downhill once he went to Inter.

Mahrez back in Paris according to Sky, you'd think to return to Algeria training.

Wonder if he's jetlagged?

Paris to London to Barcelona back to London and now to Paris, all within 24 hours or so.

AHAHAHA YES PAPY DODGEYBOLI IS OFF TO FRANCE GOODBYE.

In sadder news we're signing Callum McManaman.

Always thought McManaman had potential

Who knows, could work out for him

I never thought Josh King or Junior Stanislas were much chop at all and destined for long careers in the Championship, yet there they were performing for Bournemouth last season in the top flight.

He thinks Morata wasn't first choice.

McManaman showed 5 minutes of quality whilst at Wigan and hasn't come close since. A year in the Championship at a big club as a main man could be good for him. Don't think we'll get much with Macca though (or Williams). To be honest though I hope he does alright here.

King had something to show he's got potential before last season but Stanislas will always be bang average.

 

[go you pups]

While I agree on Stanislas, he did have a purplepatch in the back half of last season, 7 goals and 5 assists from 21 appearances, could be the best run of his career, but yeah, surely there's a player in McManaman somewhere.

King's potential is probably PL midtable though, could have the late bloomers case about him.

 

[pantskyle]

Sportsbet holding out so far on paying out on Mahrez staying and Perisic staying.

 

[jod23]

That is so brilliant.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Any other clubs have any spuds that wouldn't get sold/loaned?

Bogdan and Markovic are still Liverpool players.

It was more that a fee was supposedly agreed
