Topic: Nuri Sahin

[L7S]

Finally. Hopefully he full-fills his potential here and we sign him permanently.

[DominicQ]

Holy shit, it actually happened? Fucking A.

[Hazell]

He's Turkish :S

Born in Germany. Good enough.

[The G in Gerrard]

Excellent. Welcome and good luck!

[IAmZlatan]

With Sahin, I reckon we could have a genuine shout of having the best midfield in England. Possible behind City, but Lucas, Sahin, Allen, Gerrard, Henderson and Shelvey is far better than anything United, Chelsea, Arsenal or Spurs can offer.

I am absolutely buzzing.

[John C]

Are we gonna love this guy? I mean is he a first team starter, will he impact a game like we've longed our new signings to for 4 years (like Suarez).

[Niru Red4ever]

Whew - finally. I don't have any enthusiasm left to get excited now.

So Arsenal fans still claiming we paid 10mp? Or has it gone up?

Aaaaja reeeeeeeeee

[royhendo]

Good. Welcome Mr Sahin.

[Always_A_Red]

Brilliant it of business. Credit where credit is due....we've done really well do get him! Well done BR

Welcome to Liverpool Nuri!

So guess who his first league game will be against.....

Going out on a limb and saying yes to all 3 questions. He's a different player to Suarez but will excite fans in other ways.

[Hazell]

“Nuri is going to be very important for us,” said Rodgers.

“First and foremost, he’s one who can affect the game going forward.

“He’s a technician who can tactically participate in the game which is important.

“He understands how to control games. He’s dynamic, he’s industrious and he possesses great quality.

“He’s also left footed so he will give us good balance.

“He will come in and make the squad competitive.

“I know he’s going to be a player who the supporters will really take to.

it's 14m and first take on Suarez if we sell him, and Anfield as a training ground for real madrid next summers pre season

[Fitzy.]

I think this signing should serve as an example of the complexities and difficulties that transfers entail. Too often over the past week or so the manager, owners and Ayers have been accused of all sorts by some because we didn't tie up this deal. Fans were declaring the deal was dead and that we didn't know what we were doing.

The impatience, negativity and baseless accusation and speculation have served only to create a terrible atmosphere on this website which will ultimately contaminate the fanbase. I'm not saying everything is perfect but the "end is nigh" brigade are hysterical and need to calm down a bit.

Great signing by the way!

[TheTeflonJohn]

Welcome petal

[TepidT2O]

He's Turkish :S

German/Turkish

Best of both worlds

[AFX]

True. His naked torso being felt by Zaf Iqbal is when it's official.

Exactly. People in here are blowing their load well too quickly. I'm waiting for those pictures.

[clinical]

Lets help him fall in love with the place.

It's a slight concern, hoping our creepy doc doesn't scare him away.

You could say that mate! If his form is anything like his final year at Dortmund, we have just aquired the services of a very talented young man.

What does this mean for Gerrard?? Used in the right of a front 3?? Cant see him getting in past sahin, lucas and allen in the midfield 3......just realised....fucking hell that midfiled 3 looks good! 

[Gazza-LFC]

Welcome to Liverpool Nuri, I'm sure he will love the place

[jason42]

It's early and I have just got up so my brain isn't actually functioning yet.....

When and who was the last player of such quality we signed on loan? in fact who was the last person we loaned irrespective of quality?

[Didi_ram]

Oh yeah....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Melbred]

Mascherano.

mascherano for us.

Anelka.

[Coady]

The 23-year-old will now undergo a medical on Merseyside

Not ours yet.

Aquilani and Carroll both passed medicals injured.

Mascherano. What a quality loan-player he was ;-)

[AnyGivenSunday]

This could turn out to be a great bit of business.  I'm really looking forward to see him play.  Give it a couple of months and we might have reason to breathe new life into "Oooohhh, we've got the best midfield in the world..."

[Barneylfc∗]

Poor Adam and Spearing

john, Ballague's been on the ball throughout this deal I think. He does chat shite, but this overblown saga is not one of those occasions

Has he been though? I havent seen him say anything before anyone else. Every single thing he has said about this deal, I have seen it on here from another source first.

[Trump's tiny tiny hands]

Until we get back into the CL, these sorts of loans will be more frequent IMO onions

[underdog]

I loath Ayre but you got give him credit, this, and all other incoming deals this summer have been very good. This is a top draw loan signing

[Shinie]

Can't wait to see him play in a red shirt now!

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Loan move. Um. Goes in line with me thinking we're becoming the new Aston Villa.

[Pistolero]

Its Aquilani all over again...

[Get]

Ballague Gets praise cause he knew fuck all till 2-3 days before the deal happen, Guys Like Macca and Duncan Jenkins knew about it weeks ago yet got slated for being shity ITK's who know shit.

Some People..

[TepidT2O]

Loan move. Um. Goes in line with me thinking we're becoming the new Aston Villa.

That's a. Gem.

To the tune of who let the dogs out

NU RI Sa hin
Oo oo oo oo

[Yorkykopite]

Nice to nick him from under Arsenal's nose too. "It's a test how our clubs are currently perceived in Europe, this", said a Gooner mate of mine last week. He was dead confident that Sahin would choose his club. I thought he might do too, given they've got the Champions League and an established style of play under Wenger. Plus their need is greater. But against all the odds the young lad made the right choice. Welcome to Anfield.

[rowan_d]

Has he been though? I havent seen him say anything before anyone else. Every single thing he has said about this deal, I have seen it on here from another source first.

Not sure, I've been following it on another forum where Ballague has been the barometer for Sahin's likely destination.

[Geppvindh's]

Solid, solid signing. If we do well and he likes it here, and Madrid and Modric (if he signs for them) do exceptionally well we can hope to keep him permanently.

Some very good deals we've made this summer. Credit where it's due.
