Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours thread

1) if he proves good enough to keep - lots have shown promise and failed at his age at this level (a level far higher than Southampton last year) So it’s all a bigger risk than a slightly older, more developed player imo

2) and if he does make it big, who’s to say he’d want to stay for 10 years.

too many ifs and buts tbh, just gotta trust the club gets it right

 

Why would anyone consider dropping the defender with the most assists in PL history?

 

Macca and Zobo probably used up that £250m when you consider the package rather than just the transfer fee

 

Good point.


(He's another one of those Brazilians who puts their first name on their shirt. He's Andre Trindade.)

 

Hmmm, are you available for less than £50m?

 

Never knew Hendo was an art thief, the Raffles of our dressing room apparently!

 

And costs but not income? We've just shifted over £1m a week net off the wage bill I read somewhere?

 

I'm just saying Jimmy seems to want to.

don't shoot the messenger.

 

we all thought he was some sort of bandit that's for sure.

 

Plus for Henderson is that he do not drink, but he has to be straight in Saudi Arabia.

 

This Andre link doesn’t seem very lfc. We don’t often go for the South Americans right out of SA. Normally want them to have a year or two in europe first then pay the extra £20-£30m for them once proven.

Is this a new riskier approach? Or just paper talk to try get saints to accept a lower fee

 

I was just posing the question.

 

You think he's a bit of a both-er?

 

Klopp quote on the Mbappe links:

 

Guess it's not the French Benjamin Andre that plays for Lille

 

@saintKlopp .Sir, are you trying to words in my mouth?.

 

Wouldn't dream of it.

 

so andre is hardly "the giant" a short arse with a penchant for cards of various colours he does seem to have his head screwed on as he rejected Fulham and forest in January as his wife was due to drop a baby.

if we are in for this guy we will have to pay his club off as they are mid-season it seems.

just made brazil debut and apparently has been scouted multiple times over a long period.

we will see if it's real or not.

 

#6 doesn't have to be a giant to be effective. The best do seem to pick up a lot of cards Hopefully not too many red though.

There's always a risk with 19year olds (whether its Lavia,.or Bellingham)... At 22, Andre has passed a lot of the developmental risk stage. Now, I don't know how good he is, if he's as good as Lavia... But in general, less risk with a 22y/o than a 19y/o and still lots of life left in their career.
