Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2016, Mod Warning in OP, 10/7

Markovic on now for Fenerbache in the Turkish Cup final vs Galatasaray(fùck that is a lot of a's). On BT Europe, its been an awful watch mind.

Harry Palmr

That's it? Meh.

Lazar Markovic (remember him?) is playing in the Turkish Cup against Gala, came on at about 65th minute, has been quite good, created a few dangerous situations.

5starpool

Ye must be desperate for football if ye are watching the Turkish Cup Final.

Harry Palmr

I only switched it on when Markovic came on! Nasty collision between two gala players. The two sides are a retirement home for has beens and a place for nearly were's.

er no, I knew he was on the bench and when something I was watching off disk ended I just had a look and hey presto he'd just come on. So I picked it up.

Anyway FT Fener 0 - 1 Gala.

Just about to post that. It looks like we are using Southampton to launder money at this stage.

Harry Palmr

Good player Sadio Mane, I remember posting about him (on my previous account), ideal 3rd choice striker.

Don't believe it for a minute I should say.

Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Mahmoud Dahoud is Klopp's first choice to bolster his midfield, while negotiations are ongoing with Leicester for left-back Ben Chilwell.

That would be 'dirty' then. What do I win? :P

I'm not buying the Mane rumour anyhow. I'm putting it in the same dartboard rumour category as Brahimi.

Agent Coulson

We will be lined to Long again by the end of the week I'm sure.

Turtyturd

The ol' 'you had a good game against us we'll sign you' transfer policy....yet after years of keepers having the game of their lives against us we still have Mignolet.

Tssk

Apart from signing Matip what other centre back is on the way in with Kolo and Skrtel leaving?

Utopia Parkway

Problem with Mane is consistency. Looks like one of the best players in the world on his day. Usually that day is when he plays Liverpool. Can then go missing for weeks.

Actually think he could be brilliant under Klopp though.

If we could get him to use the summer weeks to that, we'll be sorted.

The problem is how? A new calendar maybe?

Jesus, I remember when I use to post about the team in here.

However, if you went to twitter and looked at @RichieG_LFC and what he posted an hour or so ago you might find it. It's just the abruptness of it that I thought was funny.

It is nothing we did not all already know in that tweet

What does Klopp know about Mane , I think a suit is crunching stats and numbers and interfering. I what Klopp to sign his players, Loris clearly his buy.

ricero

Wouldnt be suprised if this mane story was leaked to try get gotze to make his mind up.

Although if the rumours are true and the deal is mane for 25 million and ibe i would be happy enough. Mane is a very good player and still only 23

Mr.H

To be honest I'd take Mane over Gotze

In Gotze we would have a top class player who would probably be the best player in the squad. But it would be a marginal upgrade on a position we are already sufficient in. Gotze is a great "number 10" attacking type midfielder. he isnt a centre mid by any chance. He can play wide but he isnt the type of player who you would be sending balls forward for him to beat a man to. He is a feet player rather than a pace player.

In Mane we would have kinda the opposite. He is a pure pace player with a bit of strength who has a decent finish rate.

This season our lack of pace up front killed us. Whatever about Danny, we have no pace in the wide spots since Sterling left. That was the only gutting thing about losing Sterling.

Sturridge
Coutinho---Gotze---Firmino

Sturridge
Mane---Coutinho---Firmino

I really prefer the second option as it offers us more options rather than just three players playing the same way behind the striker.

This post is insane. Firstly, I would very much seriously doubt that Gotze is at home thinking 'what? Liverpool are after Mane? I better stop playing games and let them know I want to sign for them. This has really shaken me"

Secondly, you'd be happy if we spent £25m on him?? :eek:

Umaro

I quite like Mane - but I'm tired of the way that we're becoming a self-fulfilling parody with the amount of Southampton players we sign. This is the 6th player in 2 years.

I just hope Ian Ayre has been getting the card stamped each time so we can get one for free soon.

Cartman78

Anyone that has played Fantasy Premier League in the last couple of years will tell you that Mane is indeed explosive but very flaky and inconsistent.

Imho, he's the answer to a problem that we don't have at the moment

Gotze already made his mind up - he said no, it's time to move on from that story.

It's more likely that Southampton/the player's agent would leak the story to firm up interest from other clubs. Mane has been linked with Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd this season.

It's what agents have been using us for for well over a decade.

Is it not the fifth? Clyne, Lallana, Lambert and Lovren.

25m is really not that much now when considering the wealth of the premeir league

Yarmalenko,
Dembele,

I see a trend.....!

I include Caulker in this as well - but understandable if you don't want to count him.

We'll just have to get ourselves linked with Oxlade-Chamberlain to break the trend.

I honestly don't think Mane is that much better than Origi. I mean, he's ok. He's certainly not bad or anything but 25m!!!!

It's a bit optimistic having Sturridge up top in both teams?

Chances are he will play 2/3 of the game time this coming season at best.

And I'm being optimistic at that, seeing as Hodgson will have him for the most of the summer and has a habit of sending back his toys to us with bits missing:mad:

While the price is too high, I agree with the general idea. If G tze does not make his mind up soon the we should move on quickly. I don't want a long protracted 'will they, won't they' summer and I don't think the club does either. Klopp mentioned that this is the only time he has to train the team so I get the impression that he wants to do business fairly soon and put them through their paces.

MD1990

The Reds were actually close to a deal for Mane back in 2014, but then manager Brendan Rodgers declined the chance to sign the forward, who would then move to Southampton in a £12m deal. He has since scored 25 goals in 75 games for the Saints - including a double against the Reds last season as Southampton overturned a 2-0 deficit to win 3-2 at St Mary’s.

http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-line-up-bid-sadio-11392979

So we could have got in 2014 for 12m but turned him down. Probably because he wasn't PL proven.

Caulker was only on loan at Southampton so technically we signed him from QPR didnt we?

klose

I don't get how mane is an alternative to gotze as they are very different players but whatever. I like mane, very quick and can beat a man and knows (at times) where the net is. Things we are desperately short of in the current squad.

Think dahoud ain't gonna happen either given gladbach already sold two midfielders, trying to be positive about transfers but we've had countless issues pushing through big deals before.

Agent Coulson

The one thing is certain we cannot afford to have the injury prone Sturridge as our first choice forward for us next season.

He really is living up to that nickname we are no longer allowed to call him on here.

Because Klopp has no knowledge of players that have played in Ligue 1 , and then for Red Bull Salzburg and then was hugely impressive for a very good Southampton side in the premier league:rolleyes:

This Mane stuff is nonsense. Can we concentrate on positions which really need strengthening? At least with Götze he was world class.
