Topic: LIVERPOOL TRANSFER THREAD - 2023 (FSG posts = get muted) - No Mbappé

I have an idea but it's not one you're going to like...nor is it ethical.  It invovles splicing of genes and DNA and cloning.

[So… Howard Philips]

Can't wait for the thread to explode this summer. Especially looking forward to the links with substance.

So where does ‘links with substance’ fit into the Transfer Jargon Hierarchy?

Certainly after ‘monitoring’ but before or after ‘targeting’?

[Lone Star Red]

I appreciate you don't always read through your angry typing but I said brilliant outlet, which he was.

 

[Egyptian36]

I don't think we have to aim that high to find a difference-maker, mate. We get someone in with really good athleticism, pace and tenacity and it will give us a huge boost, even if they aren't at the level of Rodri. Someone who can scoot around and put out fires.

Exactly. A player like Joao Gomes for example will improve us. He is a very very good player.

Neil Ruddocks coming back as a body coach?

[red mongoose]

Any takers for my sugestion you fuckers?

Shit or get off the pot, Mole. Some of us have nothing but rumours to sustain us day to day. Out with it.

Splicing and cloning Mongy.

Just as well he's off back to France in a few weeks then!

For some reason i thought he was at Leipzig.

[Vinay]

That Alphonso Davis fellah could be a good left back for Liverpool, now that Robertson is getting a bit older.

Yeah he could be. Too bad he would never come here as he is off to Madrid.

Recent Liverpool links to centre back Willian Pacho have substance.

Seen some tweets/rumours that Darwin Nunez's agent - Jorge Mendes - is offering him to Barcelona if Lewandowski leaves amid reports that we're willing to sell. Probably not true at all though.

[Samie]

Barcelona are nearly 3 billion in debt, they can't afford a hooker let alone Nunez.

But we should enquire about Vitor Roque , who wants out of there.

I could believe it (if it were agent-driven, not necessarily by us) but Barcelona don't have a pot to piss in, so I don't see a world in which it happens. I think the only teams who'd be able to afford what we'd want to even consider it are teams like Madrid/PSG (who probably don't need him) or PL clubs (who I don't think we'd sell to).

[PeterTheRed ...]

Arne Slot won't have much say in the squad. He'll have a say of course. But I doubt it will be the final one like Jurgen had.

He will definitely have the final say on which players he wants to keep ...

[PeterTheRed ...]

It's coming from reading up on him Peter. I'll admit I'm not as clued up on Feyenoord as you so I might be wrong.

I don't pretend to be a great tactical expert, but I can recognize a 4-2-3-1 when I see one. Slot's setup is much more fluid and complex. It is some sort of a hybrid between the 4-3-3, the 4-2-3-1 and even the 4-2-4 sometimes, with the fullbacks and the wide attackers being very mobile, and the midfielders constantly changing their roles. I must admit, it is pleasing on the eye, but it is very difficult to define. People describing it as plain 4-2-3-1 are just being lazy ...

[Bobinhood]

Its going to be boring watching watching a plain 4-2-3-1 next year. in fact, if we....ah never mind. i dont care im tired. im going to bed. might quit my job tomorrow fuck i hate going to work. Iam. Im gonna quit and just sleep in.

Posted this in the Quansah thread, some interesting names for a center back target..

Centre-backs aged 21 and less (1000+ mins) with the highest percentage of defensive duels won in Europe's top 5 leagues this season by Wyscout:

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Jarell Quansah - 78,6%
🇲🇦Chadi Riad - 77,7%
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Jarrad Branthwaite - 76%
🇪🇸Cristhian Mosquera - 75,6%
🇫🇷Maxime Estčve - 71,9%
🇫🇷Castello Lukeba - 71,8%
🇫🇷Leny Yoro - 70,8%
🇪🇸Pau Cubarsí - 70,8%
🇷🇴Radu Drăgușin - 70,3%
🇨🇮Abakar Sylla - 67,3%
🇪🇸Rafa Marín - 67,2%

Esteve has done pretty well at Burnley, wonder if his buyout clause was if they stayed in the prem.

Yoro is class but expensive.

Olise linked with Villa today.

You could swap Olise with Johan Bakayoko and still a very good list.

If it isn't Olise I would rather we went for Kodus.

What positions do the players take when out of possession?

Pretty sure the Athletic said United were in for him but we maintained an interest.

Thanks. Yeah, I saw somewhere that Man Utd were favourites for him but hadn't seen anything about us. I'll be pleasantly surprised if we sign him this summer.

How duels are recorded by wyscout is basically against what everybody else uses and combines multiple things. It not a good metric from them

Our name is dropped into pretty much every negotiation or link to drive the price up.

Then the naysayers lose their heads when we don't sign them

Doesn't Olise have a 60m release clause? Fully expecting Man Utd to sign him for 80m.

Saying that, it seems perfectly reasonable to negotiate a release clause whereby a lower payment is made up front but a potential higher payment is made overall. But Man Utd are anything but reasonable.

[spider-neil]

Villa can't spend that kind of money.

Villa can't afford 60m? They will almost certainly finish in the top 4 and have CL football next season.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

They're skirting PSR limits, and will now have to consider FFP as well to be fair. They've spent a lot of money recently.

[Schmidt]

Does Kudus have a release clause? West Ham are a notoriously difficult club to deal with and he's coming off a hot streak of a season where the style they have been playing has been perfect for him. He seems primed to be the next expensive flop if he doesn't have a clause.

Apparently, he does.

Will be interesting see our Dutch manager trial him. I'd love to see if he can make it here.

Wouldn't be surprised if lazy journos start linking us with lots of Feyenoord players, eg, Wieffer, Geertruida, Giménez.
