Topic: LIVERPOOL TRANSFER THREAD - WELCOME, 'A PLAYER'!!

[aw1991]

Throw in Minamino & Keita.

Only if they add Haaland as well.

[plura]

Throw in Minamino & Keita.

Why not Ojo, Karius, Woodburn, Awoniyi and the rest too?

[CraigDS]

Hope we get Sancho, he's a generational talent.

He's a poor second choice because we're too cheap to pry Almiron away from Newcastle.

[Machae]

20m for Ox?

That would be a great price for selling domestically, especially so for a German team

[MD1990]

do people see Ox attracting interest on his wage?

I think he will be a hard player to move on

[Nobby Reserve]

20m for Ox?

That would be a great price for selling domestically, especially so for a German team

It was 20m EUROS, not yer GREAT BRITISH POUNDS

If we convert that to GREAT BRITISH POUNDS, it's about £19.9m

[thekitkatshuffler]

Why not Ojo, Karius, Woodburn, Awoniyi and the rest too?

Karius would be worth his weight in gold to whoever buys him from us.  Incredibly valuable to get a free concussion substitution in every match.

[LallanaInPyjamas]

[BarryCrocker]

Karius would be worth his weight in gold to whoever buys him from us.

There's no way we'd get anywhere near £3.8m for him.

[killer-heels]

Well fichajes.net are reporting that Dortmund want Ox for €20m, so a) we can sort a swap for Sancho, no problem; and b) if it's in fichajes.net, it must be true.

Deal.

[Buggy Eyes Alfredo]

OK, lets do a small lesson ...

duscuss further ...

On the right? Or, slotted in the middle?

[Sarge]

Hold on.

[Sarge]

What's the point of discussing sancho and mbappe over and over again when we haven't a hope of signing either?

FIFA 21

[Sarge]

Doing my FIFA 21 transfers i would like,

Nuno Mendes
Ibrahim Konate (Not seen him play but Klopps wants him so good enough for me)
One of Youri Tielimans/Koke/Carlos Soler
Raphina
Ansu Fati/Rodrygo

Sorted.

Le Parisen is very reliable.

Can definitely see them targeting Salah. But I dont think we will sell.

It is but no real quotes just specualtion or a shitstir because Mbappe is off.

Only club that could realistically buy him. Feels a bit like someone is adding 2 and 2 together but who knows.

I don't see Mbappe moving, both Barca and Real dont have a pot to piss in, where is he supposed to go?

Mbappe would be crazy to move now anyway. He will be the grand old age of 23 or something next season, just leave on a free, line your pockets and choose your club.

He can do that anyway.

[killer-heels]

He can do that anyway.

He will get less money than if he left next season. Also more clubs will be able to get him next season.

[Sarge]

More does not matter he only wants a couple.

Mbappe to Chelsea would be such an obvious fit, for many reasons:

The Nike factor (which some of our lot cling to)
One of the most exciting young squads in Europe
Former manager in place
French players
The London factor
Consistent success over 20+ years (they were winning domestic and European trophies in the years before Roman, don't forget)
Guaranteed funding to keep them challenging

Take your rose tinted glasses off, and look at it logically - if you were Mbappe would you rather join an ever improving squad with the likes of Mount, Chilwell, James, Havertz and Werner, or an ageing Liverpool/Madrid/Barca, all of which will need major surgery in most areas of the pitch in the near future.

I'm not saying we can't still attract top players because we quite clearly can (even without CL next season), but we need to be honest with ourselves and admit we're no longer the girl all the boys want to dance with.

Several of those are complete and utter bollocks. With all due respect. French players, Nike and London is not a footballing reason but a personal one.

We are current league champions. We have also some absolute world class players. Are you having any Chelsea player over Alisson, Trent, Van Dijk, Fabinho, Salah, Robertson etc?

Are you having Tuchel over Klopp.

[El Lobo]

How is that still here

[Crosby Nick]

A Cup Winners’ Cup.

[killer-heels]

4 trophies I believe in 15 years prior to Roman joining apparently.

You missed the main three reasons - money, money, money.

You are right though. We are not the massive draw we like to think we are sadly. Especially not without CL football.

Thiago is the only major star from a major club I can remember us signing for ages.

[CraigDS]

I thought he was leaving PSG as wanted to play for a proper club?

Chelsea is hardly that. Basically the London version of them.

[Bend It Like Aurelio]

Are you having Tuchel over Klopp.

I'm all in on the Mbappe 2022 train, but I do think this whole players will pick LFC because of Klopp logic is flawed in that he already stated he will only manage until the end of his contract. I think for some players, that could be a deterrent in that it may signal uncertainties in the club within the lifetime of their contract, usually around 5 to 6 years.

I'm more inclined to think that players will buy in to LFC if there is a coherent plan going forward for the player which they can buy into. A project if you will. And I think this summer will be very crucial to that, in that we are probably going to refresh major areas of our squad with younger players who can also contribute in the long run. But the lack of CL will hurt our prospects I think, especially as many younger stars are a lot more impatient in trying to establish their legacy.

So I get the Chelsea shout, but then again Chelsea have always been major players in any transfer market. If you think about the type of players they have been able to attract after their recent 'barren' spell, it's not too far fetched to think what they could be capable of in the coming seasons.

But whatever. #Mbappe2022.

[Phineus]

I don’t think Chelsea get Mbappe... think he goes to Madrid on a free next year and they build their rebuild around him.

I do think they get sancho this summer though, unfortunately.

[amir87]

I have heard Mbappe say it would be a dream to play with Reece James.

If only we had a right back of that calibre. Such a shame.

[Legs]

Mbappe is completely out of our league in financial terms lets be honest.

Yes he watches our league and has said nice things about us that isnt saying I want to play for LFC.

I think like most he will go to Madrid within a year the only other possible team is Man City but i'd say thats unlikely.

[cdav]

Chelsea are pretty stacked in attack, surely they prioritise centreback and centre mid this summer?

[Asam]

Chelsea has London + pay huge wages and a squad on the up. Most players today know the Mourinho era Chelsea with Drogba not the club they were in the 90s or earlier

[Phineus]

I’d still expect them to to strengthen there yes but reports are also saying Abramovich is reinvigorated and wants to push this team forward etc.

Sadly I expect them to get a top CB, too CM and one of Sancho/Haaland this summer... they’ll likely have the best squad next season and push on all fronts. Makes our summer plans so much more pivotal if it’s not to be another 2 horse race.

[Knight]

Yeah Chelsea with one of Haaland/Sancho, a new CM and a top CB would be terrifying. Such a shame Lamps couldn't see out the season. A manager out of his depth if there ever was one.

If you cite uncertainty around Klopps tenure then that also more than applies to Chelsea. They change managers more than I change pants...

Our wage bill was £43m higher than Chelsea's in 2019-20. Sure a lot of it was performance related but we have consistently been one of the highest paying clubs the last few seasons. Salah will be on far more take home than any player at Chelsea imo

[CraigDS]

PSG has Paris + pay huge wages.

Regardless of Mourinho, they are still a no mark club when it comes to the European giants.
