Transfer discussion thread

[moomba]

Looking back at his career so far, he's been such a disappointment.

But has a lot of talent and could come good away from the Arsenal mess.

Not sure I'd pay £40m though. About half that for his potential or sit out and get him on a free next season.

Liverpool Echo says Ox is backup to Lemar, welp better hope Lemar comes off, would pay the 90 mil just so we don't get Ox

my sources say weve shown compassion to Saints and have bid 70m and should have a medical within 24hrs

Soton have played a blinder here.

 

[pantskyle]

Southamptons asking price for VVD has been 70m minimum all transfer market, so have Liverpool caved?

you treat me the way you treated Dunc, but results speak for themselves.

Marca are being rather mean towards Bale. Trying to flog him.

When you speak shit all the time i guess you start to believe it.

Chelsea slowly buying the starting line up to the Leicester 2015/2016 Premier League Champions?

Huth waiting by his letter box in anticipation

 

[Greendogg5]

Dortmund reportedly sign Jeremy Toljan for 5 mil Euros. Going the other way to TSG is Passlack on 2 yr loan. Great news for BVB

Monaco are such a well-run club. Terrific business done today prior to Mbappe's departure to Paris. The way in which they and also Atleti operate should be what Kroenke/the Arsenal board attempt to replicate.

Papers coming out saying Alexis is going to get hijacked by United means we're in the final stages.

When we start to hear how much damage he is doing in the dressing room the deal is done.

Not sure how they survive without Bakayoko to be honest. The rest are easily replaceable.

Is Bakayoko irreplaceable? I watched him in the UCL last season and wasn't that impressed.

How's he going so far for Chelsea anyway?

30 mil from liverpool for the ox rejected

 

[PendlePie]

Oxlade-Chamberlain turns down Chelsea, wants to join #LFC. Their move for Thomas Lemar is ongoing but it's one or t'other. Not both.

Look away Pool fans - this deal is happening!

I don't mind Ox for around 30m. Replacement for Milner who may well move on at the end of this season.

Oh I mind

Oh I mind

To put things into context West Brom are knocking back bids of £21m for Jonny Evans.

Nice theory but when David Ornstein says something about Arsenal you know it's 100% true. Ox clearly thinks Liverpool is his best chance to play CM, he might be wrong but that is why he wants to go there.

Yeah fair enough, I'm sure Klopp and Conte have both promised they'd give him opportunity in the centre if his performances were up to standard.

I'm just saying that in reality as with Milner, he's unlikely to start regularly in a midfield 3 with our options as they stand, and moreso with the addition of Keita next season. Personally have him behind all of them as a CM on exposed form, but happy to be proven wrong! Maybe he steps up a level in a Liverpool shirt, maybe he's a better fit for our style than Arsenal's, maybe Klopp can extract more out of him than Wenger has, who knows.

In any case, I've been pretty consistent over the last few months that I think wherever he fits in he'd be a good signing and is very much in the style of player that suits Klopp's system. Mobile, strong, aggressive, skillful. I'd like us to sign him, but I have my doubts that he'd instantly be a key player in central midfield for us.
