just look at those options..
Traore just had a big season at Ajax
Abraham is a beast
Pasalic has done time at Monaco and Milan and will be more polished
Da Silva is a beast

Righto

 

[RossFC]

Oxford on loan.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Danny Welbeck has been given the no.7 shirt at Arsenal....

 

[DBAH0]

Oxford on loan.

Hopefully he'll develop as Christensen did there...

 

[chef]

Sounds like Alves has been released and will sign a 2 year deal with City.

Disappointed to miss out on him as he'd have been a great option to rotate with Moses at RWB

watford to sign will hughes

I remember when he was the next big thing. Never been that impressed with him tbh. Will be interesting to see how he goes at Watford.

 

[Cruyff14]

Yes. Oh dear.

 

[Jatz]

Talk is that we'll bump our offer for Kelechi to 25m.

Would seriously love that to eventuate!

 

[pantskyle]

Apparently Dortmunds asking price for Aubamayeng is €70m.

I did that at Watford two weeks ago!

They key thing with that transfer seems to be the buy back clause.

We're refusing to settle for less than anything than double of what we would pay in a transfer, whilst Man City want to seem to do say $30M buy back on a $25M transfer...

The frustrating thing is that they're 100% entitled to do it.

Are you still chasing him hard? No idea why we went into such heavy favouritism with him but we're odds on now. I still remain sceptical though...

 

[pantskyle]

Signing Alves is a very shrewd piece of business from City.

 

[jod23]

And so ends the next big thing.

Yep, we'll pay the asking price of 20 - 25M, but we won't do a deal where it's a 30M buyback clause, so it's in negotiations basically.

I wouldn't expect this to be settled soon, unless a club is willing to do that.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

And so ends the next big thing.

Had potential but ultimately Moyes' departure and the fact we splashed a lot of money on players ready meant he was never going to make it at united.

 

[Buckleys Jocks]

He still has potential but it seems like he just doesn't have the drive needed to make the most of it.

Latest on Liverpool from 4-5 of the more reliable journos:

Salah - all but done. £35m + £4m in add ons. £90k/week. Will wear #9 from the sounds of things. Great signing.
Keita - still in play, club are prepared to pay £50m+ for him and are confident of getting a deal done but RB Leipzig will likely put up stiff resistance.
Van Dijk - still very keen on a move to Anfield, but any move will rely on him forcing Southampton's hand e.g. making a transfer request.
Oxlade-Chamberlain - wants out in order to further his career and likes the idea of playing for Klopp. With 12 months left on his contract Liverpool won't pay much more than £20m for him. Chelsea & City also interested.

Lucas, Markovic, Sakho & Moreno
all expected to move on. Sturridge will only leave if both he and the club are satisfied with the club and the offer (LFC seeking £40m for him). Klopp will only pursue a striker if Sturridge leaves, and is apparently happy with our options at CF (Firmino, Sturridge, Origi, Mané, Ings, Solanke) as they are.

Nothing concrete on us signing a LB yet but I'd be very surprised if we didn't replace Moreno, just for something different hopefully we sign one with at least half a brain this time.

Will they pull all of this off? Who knows, it looks set to be an exciting summer in any case. Insane amounts being thrown around.

 

[Cooldude]

I'm not sure we can get Keita done, Leipzig will keep asking for more and more, we bid 50 and they will want 60

If Van Dijk forces it then we'll sign him, if he doesn't then we'll go after K2 who will cost almost as much. So might as well just shell out for VVD if Jurg wants him so much

 

[DBAH0]

Heard Liverpool wanted 40M for Sturridge, don't think he'll be going anywhere at that price.

 

[Latro]

Heard Liverpool wanted 40M for Sturridge, don't think he'll be going anywhere at that price.

What are they smoking.

 

[Cooldude]

I'd love it if we keep Studge, so clubs should either overpay or we simply keep him

 

[Jatz]

So that he can continue being besties with your medical staff?
