Liverpool Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2014 *mod warning linked in OP 26/07*

Blatter

Would agree that £20m should be the max paid for him as that's already overpaying for him by a few million.

The player will push for the move by the sounds of it, could be a case of sitting tight and letting it play out.

He put in a transfer request a few weeks back already i think?

There is a shortage of qulity defenders out there at the moment. The world cup has highlighted this fact.

I haven't watched a huge amount of Lovren but he does seem like a good footballer.

Hotfail.com

20m for Lovren sounds fair enough, he was one of the best centre backs in the league last year.

The new tv deal has caused a huge amount of inflation. I think someone estimated it could be as much as 30%.

Our scouts must be the laziest ****ers on the books at Anfield. :pac:

Take a drive down to Southampton and buy a few of their players......if anyone asks we are scouting round europe.
Barca want Suarez.....who will we get in to replace him?.......eh ask Barca do they have anyone good...

Does anyone think Liverpool are being taken for a complete ride with this Suarez issue? Liverpool pay the guy's wages so they should be the ones calling the shots during this 4 month ban. He is essentially being rewarded with a big money transfer while he is banned and Liverpool are paying his wages. Nuts. For example they should have the power to block all medicals, transfers etc. Something tells me that if this was Man Utd, FIFA and Barca would be less inclined to treat the club with such contempt.

All your posts tend to bring tears to my eyes I don't get it.

TitianGerm

10 million and Agger or 15 and Kelly/Coates for Lovren would be decent business.

Vicxas

Anyone else just realise we could be spending the Suarez money

Our scouts still aren't as lazy as Spurs's! :pac:

Sanchez is probably the best player we can hope to get

Utopia Parkway

20M is the absolute limit I would go to for Lovren. I guess it would be offset slightly with Agger probably being sold.

Echo saying we are still trying for Sanchez and Barca are pushing him towards us but you can't make the player sign if he doesn't want to. Liverpool want to know relatively quickly so that they can move onto other targets if necessary.

Echo also saying Rodgers is hoping to wrap up a 25M move for Markovic and 6M for Origi. Also may go back in for Moreno.

Have to say, it's great to see the club spending and spending big for a change. They're buying a good mix of potential and established players. Can't wait for the season to start.

I'd be happy with 20m for Lovren.

Extra tv money, plus looking like Suarez money, and we're boosting our business resume all the time. Dunkin Donuts etc.

We can probably afford to overpay 5m or so on a few players, and still be able to bring in the numbers, and hopefully the quality, that we want.

Lovren would be an example of overpaying for the right player, for me.

Well at least we are spending it and not holding on to it to pay for the Anfield upgrade, if thats the case.

Suarez is gone. He's jumped the fence baby.

Southampton aren't though, they want more, and at 20m he's already overpriced. Can we not find similar elsewhere? I mean 20m is huge money, if we cant we need a new scouting network.

Haven't they come from City where all they did was buy the best players they used while playing FIFA 10/11/ and 12 before joining us.

It's crazy. Yes there is more money in the game now, but it's still too much, especially since it's not even enough. Perhaps Southampton are just sick of us?

Are there many big players up for transfer this window besides Suarez? If there are we've been linked with very few, only Sanchez...

billymitchell

Is there any talk of us getting a backup for Stevie, or are we going to have to make do with Lucas and Hendo? If Stevie gets injured for a long period next season, we are going to have another headache

klose

So we go straight in with a 20 mill bid for a player in a position we have numbers (cb) yet wont pay the extra 4 mill on top of the 16 we need to get moreno to fill a position we are desperate to fill. Dosent really make sense, thats before the bertrand stuff which is probably bull**** anyways.

I'm not a Fan of paying 20M or more for Lovren.

We could have gotten him for Cheap last year, but we didn't. Now we have to Pay a Premium for it.

It Sucks.

Hotfail.com

Why all the Bertrand hate? Unless he costs more than 6 or 7m I'll quite happily have him, as long as he's only cover... Surely we're not signing him to replace José/Flanagan?

Agent Coulson

Ryan Bertrand is 25 next month and has less than 40 PL games!


NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO Shouty NO's

kingshankly

With all these southampton players so highly rated and worth ludicrous amounts of money how the feck did they not win the league last year

We already have Enrique coming back and Flanagan has shown that he can cover LB. I don't think Bertrand is much better if any than either of them. Just seems like a waste of money.

marno21

3 Bertrands = Toni Kroos.

Need to find more value and buy necessary players not more squad players. I'd be far more concerned at the prospect of Glen Johnson starting next season at right back.

Right back and centre back are far more important to address than LB.

That's the Thing, Bertrand is Inferior to both Jose and Flanagan.

Besides, why would we need Bertrand as a Cover for Flanagan, when Flanagan is already a Cover for Jose?

I mean, do you Buy a Cover, for the Cover? That makes no sense.

So getting Bertrand for me, is akin to Burning Money. It's that Bad.

Yet, I'm not sure we've signed a player where having CL football was crucial.

Next few signings need to be of higher calibre imo. Sanchez type players.

I get the feelin its gonna take BR quite some time to find his best team next season

I would rather that £6m to £8m that would be spent on Bertrand to be used as the extra monies needed to get Lovren and Moreno who would be first team starters not reserve players.

Super-Rush

Reports coming out that we've accepted an offer of €90 million for Suarez. Sanchez is not part of the deal.

Nuri Sahin

Probably mentioned already, but the Telegraph are saying Sanchez reps held talks with Liverpool today.

Also, if Southampton aren't going to budge on our offer of 20M, I hope we look elsewhere. I know I kept banging on about him in this thread after every Greece game this World Cup, but Manolas of Olympiakos would be only worth half of what Lovern would cost us, and he looks a hell of a CB at the age of 23.

In a way happy he's not a part of the deal. Barcelona would almost certainly have overvalued him as part of a player exchange

brevity

Surely we could spend 20m a bit better. It just seems such a lazy purchase...

We have kelly/wisdom and *sigh* johnson who can play rb at the moment. We also have flanno but he was our main lb last year, our only other lb in enrique and pinning any hope on him returning the player he was would be foolish. I guess you could add robinson too but god knows what will happen with him. Id say lb is a more pressing issue.

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar

Huntelaar told German newspaper Bild: ‘Regarding rumours about Liverpool it’d only be fair to speak to Schalke first.

The negotiations with the club have been running for some time.
