Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours thread

Yeah, it was a priority a few weeks back, less so now but we do need another, at very least a decent challenger to Migs. Should be able to absorb a keeper into the squad without it affecting our playing style....surely!?

Liverpool want to bring in Eduardo Salvio (Picture: Getty)
Liverpool are reportedly in talks with Portuguese club Benfica over a deal to sign their winger Eduardo Salvio.

The Reds have been scouting the Argentine for months and have now decided to move in to do business.

According to reports in Spain, talks have started over a transfer and they have advanced quickly, with Liverpool confident of sealing the deal.

Benfica are keen to get Salvio’s full £43.6million buy-out clause amount, but the switch is set to happen for a fee below that.

£43.6m who is this guy

 

Can he play CB or rwb though?

 

What are you going to do with Glen Johnson?.

 

I'm afraid we cannot disclose that information

 

Axe me in May

 

We won't pay that. It'll just be his release clause and if anything will probably be 25m.

Wonder if if he's better than the last guy we brought from them....

 

Silly season approaches quickly!

 

United also after him. Highest bidder.

 

But they're buying Ronaldo and Bale too!!

 

We are going with 5 wingers across the middle next vseason

 

and 5 LB's across the back!

 

Fixed.

To be fair, has anyone told Van Gaal that Bale doesn't play LB anymore?

 

Do we need another winger?

 

Looks like we'll be playing the same type of midfield then

 

No way we'll pay out £46m IMO

No way the fee will be £46m, as Biscan said, that will just be the release clause.

Don't we plenty of wide players already? Sterling, Ibe, Markovic and Lallana plus Coutinho, Studge and Moreno can play wide too.

 

We often play 5 of those at a time to be fair.

I always look at building a squad as building 2 teams, so 2 of every thing. Like Noah's Ark.

Markovic-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxx-Moreno
-------Sterling----------Coutinho-------
----------------Sturridge------------------

Ibe-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxx-Enrique
-----??????------Lallana--------
-------------???????--------------

This idea certainly suggests maybe for buying another Sterling. But in reality Markovic can play there, as could Ibe or Lallana, and Manquillo or Flanagan could play wide right.

I think an addition of this sort would be good but would also be a luxury. Its not a priority but others areas of the field are (CM and ST). No way can we spend that much on it when we need other expensive players more.

 

That last bit pretty much sums it up. Paying £46m would wipe out whatever budget we have on a area that isn't a priority.
