Topic: LIVERPOOL TRANSFER THREAD

Scouting in Corby, or scouting in Copacobana. Tough choice there.

[Red Cactii]

Scouting players who we'll then continue to track when they move to Europe? It seems impossible for us to sign players directly from Brazil, can never seem to get them clearance to play.

We get Benfica or Porto to buy them, naturalise them with EU citizenship and ensure they have a favourable release clause that we can activate. Winner!

[Samie]

Minamino to Monaco confirmed now.

Marcos Leonardo is a Brazilian U-20 international, so we could use some loophole in the rules ...

Brexit means he'd have to be classed as an "Exceptional talent" and had to have been capped by Brazil by now to be proven of that status.

[slaphead]

Why the fuck do we have a lad based in Brazil scouting for us then? Other than scouting at the Copacabana what the fuck is he doing?

If you look up what the term job satisfaction, theres probably a photo of that fucker

[So… Howard Philips]

Scouting in Corby, or scouting in Copacobana. Tough choice there.

Is the scout’s name Rico? Does he wear a diamond?

[PeterTheRed ...]

Was that Marquinhos kid Arsenal have signed the other week ever capped by Brazil?

[Samie]

No idea mate.  But that bullshit seems to apply to us whenever we want a South American from the continent.

[disgraced cake]

Would be nice to see some South Americans come in on the cheap under Mr Ward but I flat out refuse to believe that that story is true, as Tepid pointed out on the last page they basically never are.

Speaking of this, I only found out recently that the lad we had a few years ago, Allan, the centre mid, was a big part of the side that won the league and cup double in Brazil last season. Good to see him settle down in his home country and achieve something like that. He was one we could never get clearance for IIRC.

[Machae]

I dont know what you mean by moving the goalposts.
No doubt he is paid very well but its not as simple as saying he earned close to 400k per week especially with many variables involved. Forbes or not the truth is nobody knows. This is like Mane salary discussion all over again when people made wrong assumptions based on wrong numbers from the media.

Not entirely sure what the point is. You can't take anyone's reported salary as gospel. Salah could be earning 400k basic for all we know

[Asam]

Thanks we all needed the full squad post

[PeterTheRed ...]

It was not intended for you, but glad you appreciate it ...

[Samie]

Mac has it in his RAWK contract during the transfer window he can post one squad list per page.

[CowboyKangaroo]

It was not intended for you, but glad you appreciate it ...

That being said, I'm concerned that some people might not see it. Could you reproduce it with a short comment every page for the next 20 pages?

[PeterTheRed ...]

Nah, one full squad post after every purchase, sale or loan is quite enough ...

[Samie]

Journo for KICKER.

Bayern are considering sending Serge Gnabry into the stands next season if he stays at the club without extending his contract. The player is not impressed by this plan [@georg_holzner]

[No666]

Presumably that's constructive dismissal?

[Samie]

Well it makes our talks with him easier with that stand Bayern are taking. 

[PeterTheRed ...]

Well it makes our talks with him easier with that stand Bayern are taking. 

Why would we talk to him?

[Samie]

We want him Mac, do keep up old timer. 

[HardworkDedication]

Well it makes our talks with him easier with that stand Bayern are taking. 

We aren't signing another forward this season so there isn't a need to talk to him. We are well covered up front imo.  If we're to make another signing it'll be a midfielder imo.

[PeterTheRed ...]

We want him Mac, do keep up old timer. 

We might want him next summer, if Salah leaves. Personally, I think we could do much better than a 28-year-old on massive wages, as Salah's replacement ...

[RedSince86]

They love signing Bundesliga players on a free with the gleeful announcement during the season he's going to Bayern, such a vile club.

[Gerry Attrick]

A delightful bit of blackmail. Who wouldn’t be impressed and desperate to join such a club, eh Sadio?

[PeterTheRed ...]

Sadio is going there to be the star of the team, after the departure of Lewandowski. Gnabry probably thought he will be that star, and has rejected a very good offer from Bayern of €380,000 per week. He has Real Madrid written all over him, so we shouldn't waste our time discussing him in this thread ...

Well I’m sure we can both agree that if you reject a very good contract offer the next logical step is to sit in the stands for a year

Using him as an ultra now they feel they can't get any more from him on the pitch? Very smart move from Bayern.

Completely professional approach, innit?

[TepidT2O]

Seems like Luis Alberto may finally be leaving Lazio… a fee of €20m is suggested…

We get 30%

[Flaccido Dongingo]

Where's he going?, doesn't seem suited to any other league than Serie A, very technical player but very slow too, he'd get destroyed in England, Germany or Spain.

Someone bell Jude, tell him it might be happening after all!

Seriously though, sure last summer people were saying he was going to leave for about 45/50 million. Should have sold him you bastards   

[Drinks Sangria]

Looks like Sevilla want him back and Valencia tentatively linked.

He’d be fine in Spain for the most part, the quality outside of the top 5 or 6 clubs is pretty poor.

I genuinely laughed out loud, Peter. Thanks for pointing out some players are never going to join us and shouldn't be discussed in this thread. 

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

Indeed. That's grade A shithousery from Bayern. They are also big hypocrites because they encourage such things with Dortmund players.

[PeterTheRed ...]

He won't be sitting in the stands. He will join Real Madrid ...

We don't sign 28-year-old players on massive wages. Even Thiago, who is genuine World class, has joined us on £200,000 per week ...

[Flaccido Dongingo]

£200k per week isn't massive money?, fucking hell what a world we live in.
