Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2017/2018

Funny that Arsenal have just done what some here keep accusing FSG of doing this summer, pretending to put in huge bids and then pulling out, just to make it look like they want to spend money.

Code for we agreed a fee with the club but the player refused to sign for us

So then is it really player wants CL football and Arsenal saving face? Looks like it - it takes no time to agree a deal in principle.

Looks like the clubs had a deal and the player turned the move down.

I mean a deal was agreed 30 minutes ago and suddenly it's all off.

Dickerty · 31-08-2017 4:53pm

I think they looked at the deal - it would have cost them €40M and Sanchez out to City, so not worth it. Now they have 6 months to convince Sanchez to sign a new deal, or he's signing for us on a free next summer!

FYP.

Sappy404 · 31-08-2017 4:55pm

Arsenal might think that Liverpool wont pay €100m and Lemar could be available later on. They might be right. They've basically set the (mental) price and walked off.

Palace agreed fee with Man City for Mangala, looks like Sakho is staying

I really doubt they agreed a fee with the club and then just decided not to sign him, chances are the player rejected the deal.

I think the player doesn't want to go there, it's a bad time for them with poor performances, a manager who most fans want gone and the owner doesn't seem very interested. It doesn't make them very attractive to players, Liverpool on the other hand look good on the pitch, have a great manager and fsg and linda, enough said

That or a chat about why DS9 was far superior to TNG in terms of character development and story arcs?

Apparently he was talking to a man who says VVD is in Liverpool town centre...

LOL, there's dedication right there...

YAWN

They are willing to spend on both Lemar and VVD. But not €100M for Lemar, and Soton not budging on VVD.

What would you have them do?

To knock Everton out of the Europa League of course

Just spend it on anyone it doesn't matter of course! 175m on winston Reid will do grand.

marklazarcovic · 31-08-2017 5:18pm

i can see the appeal for lfc for attacking players tbh

martyos121 · 31-08-2017 5:23pm

175m to spend, sell Sakho for 25m and trigger Chewy's release clause. Offer him whatever wages Sakho was on combined with whatever we'd offer to VVD and Lemar.

He still won't sign but dammit I want some drama!

Agent Coulson · 31-08-2017 5:24pm

Time to get Gerrard texting!

Osmosis Jones · 31-08-2017 5:25pm

Pearce reporting that "Barring a dramatic late turn of events, Jurgen Klopp will end the summer window with four new recruits in Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, Dominic Solanke and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, as well as having Naby Keita wrapped up for next summer."

Dramatic late turn of events it is then!

Knex* · 31-08-2017 5:27pm

Apparently, the Monaco manager, Jardim, said something along the lines of "enough is enough" with regards to the sales. Can't argue with the man there, to be fair.

Not sure what to believe then considering a deal was said to be agreed with Arsenal for the player.

NabyLadistheman · 31-08-2017 5:32pm

This is clearly the lull before the storm. Coutinho will go...last minute flurry then and throw the cash at Lemar & Southampton. As we have no other choice :eek:

Grayditch · 31-08-2017 5:35pm

That's it for me, I think. If I come back later and there's a Lemar or a Van Dijk, happy days.

ricero · 31-08-2017 5:38pm

A poor to average transfer window if things remain the same. A huge missed opportunity i feel.

when will people wake up and realize that our owners are unambitious and holding us back ?

Even if one of them does turn up out of the blue, it still might not go well.

A wild Lemar appears

FSG use Lowball

One_Of_Shanks · 31-08-2017 5:59pm

If that's it then it's vital we keep Coutinho imo. If we sell him now without any more signings then I'd actually say it's a bad window, losing your best player and none of the players we've bought are quite at his level in their own respective positions.

If Coutinho stays then overall the window is decent.

With Keita coming next Summer it will soften the blow of Coutinho leaving in 10 months time. And maybe then revisit the idea of Lemar or someone along those lines.

Gutted that we didn't get VVD, assuming it's not gonna happen now. Hopefully go back in Jan for him.

Fromvert · 31-08-2017 5:59pm

Sadly doesn't look like there'll be players today, never believe

I'd go for Sanchez by bidding 55 million & 1 pound tbh

Give it a ****ing rest

Utopia Parkway · 31-08-2017 6:11pm

Not signing a centre-half is absolutely negligent. No other way to dress it up. Should have been number one priority. Now with more games than we had last season we have to put up with Lovren until at least January and if a centre-half gets injured (and they will as both of them regularly pick up niggles) we have Klavan starting a lot of games. Has the potential to sink our season.

Agent Coulson · 31-08-2017 6:13pm

No sign of Flanagan & Markovic going anywhere if they want to play football they need to look for clubs themselves before 11pm by the looks of it.

Repeating the same ****e every 3 hours doesn't make it true. Everyone knows what you think you have posted the same hyperbolic rubbish constantly for months.

Give it a rest

Agent Coulson · 31-08-2017 6:21pm

Balague just on SSN and said Liverpool were never interested in Lemar and never made a bid and all of this was coming from his agent not Liverpool.

How does this lad still get paid.

Go outside

You are one note, deranged almost. You seem to have no shades of grey no contextual appreciation - it's all full on with you. Life isn't like that.
