    Barcelona are to up their interest in Chelsea's Willian - good news for Liverpool. (@TimesSport)

    Would be a major surprise as Conte said Chelsea are looking to buy not sell. Whatever very slim chance there may be of this happening should Chelsea draw Barca in the Champions League this evening even that disappears. Willian is at best an OK player and in the normal run of things I would suspect Chelsea would let him off but we need bodies.

    Barca have a lot of problems I don't see too many of the big teams that will be willing to help them out.

    He works well in Chelsea's side, but I'm not a big fan of Willian at all... don't see how he would fit into Barca's system whatsoever to be honest.

    Would love to see him at Liverpool for the lols
    I thought when Barca were going for Seri they realised they needed to sign a proper midfielder alas they are idiots

    Just read that Express piece, it's just a bunch of posts quoted. I suppose a more thoughtful article about how obsessed Man Utd supporters are about Liverpool would be too much work.

    Oh fúck off - As if it's not a bunch of knuckledraggers on both sides that de-rail threads online with that crap.

    Absolutely nothing to do with a transfer, just some sap baiting people into an online fight.

    You are exactly what's wrong with the Soccer forum.

    Did he have that bad of a season at Arsenal.

    Ah he wasnt bad, but he did have a few bad games that didnt show him in the best of light. Arsenal should try keep hold of him

    Oh Joy Coulson is trying to trigger a Utd/Liverpool debate. This is so totally new and original. Bravo

    Anywho away from the children and their games.

    Huddersfield have signed Florent Hadergjonaj on loan from Inglostadt. That name will tangle some commentators.

    Are you kidding? Nothing appears in these Man U - Liverpool boards without appearing on Reddit or similar first. All just parroting.

    I know but when a national newspaper picks it up and prints a story about it then that becomes newswordy and surely/surly open for discussion?

    That basically translates to Inter taking him on a season long loan. Italian teams are fond of getting players on loan and never buying them.
    Would be a ridiculous move on Arsenals part, I'm not saying Mustafi was brilliant last season, but he warrants another season in the team. With Koscielny getting older and constantly having to nurse an Achilles problem, then Mustafi will definitely be needed over the season.

    I'd assume they might if it was proven to be true, so far we the origin of the report is the Irish Indo with only a few lines on it and no details whatsoever on the supposed meetings. Liverpool were caught red handed having a direct meeting with him.

    Being widely reported now that Ousmane Dembele will sign for Barca.

    €120m (+30m)

    By all accounts, Dembele acted like a cúnt to get the move.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,928 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    The rise of Ousmane Dembélé is insane: 2 years ago today, he was regularly playing for Rennes' reserve team in the French 5th division.

    He was the exact same going to Dortmund from Rennes apparently, so he has form.

    the German outlets reporting it as well. Deal was apparently made before the Draw. 120 mil. fix plus 30 mil. in add ons.

    Yep he has prior too.

    Just wait until PSG swoop in with a superb personal offer next season to live and play in Paris and he refuses to train and play for Barca.:)

    Still, as replacements for Neymar go Dembele, Suarez, Messi is pretty decent alternative trident.

    Watch Barca put a 1 trillion euro's buyout clause in his contract.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,050 ✭✭✭✭The Talking Bread


    Hopefully he will live up to the hype now. Massive burden and attention on his shoulders coming into a Barca team heading into a new era for such a stunning fee.

    He clearly is something extremely special

    It happens a lot where a defender has a bad first season and comes good over the next couple of years.

    Managers and Directors of football seem to be under some mad illusion that you can buy a defense. As long as everybody is reasonably good, a defense is all about the system and communication.

    Look at a guy like Sakho. Very inconsistent at Liverpool and then turned into Paolo Maldini at Palace because he got the system.

    Not a chance of landing Dybala. Juve know his value increases even more after another good season.

    Still at the public tapping up.
    “I think players still want to join Barcelona, and they are showing that as is the case with Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele,” Pique told the Daily Mail.

    “It suggests that they are both delighted about the idea of coming; they want to come.
