I think Joe Allen could bring in more money than Lucas. Maybe Allen has more development potential than Lucas , due to youth.
Borini- Yes, in fact I think he'll be first to go Lambert- Promoted team or team that struggled last season Coates- Already potentially sold. Why is he on this list. Enrique- Yep, handful of games over the last 2 seasons. Time to cut our losses Luis Alberto- Yes, bad transfer Manquillo- Not ours, so if he does get left out he'll be heading home. Balotelli- PLEASE! Lucas- If we can buy someone better. Markovic- Give him one more season, at least.
Markovic has to be given another season. All joking aside he has shown flashes of potential. I don't know what his best position is but neither does Rodgers.
Not surprised Markovic is on the list. If we could get a decent deal set up I'd kick him into touch as don't think he'll make it. Lovren should be on it. Only reason he isn;t is cos of the **** up with us paying that astronomical fee and the massive loss we'd be humiliated by taking and because who are we being linked with?? He's dogshit Lovren. Get shut now otherwise we'll be into paying someone to take him. Reading that Saints have accepted 12.5 for Clyne. Reckon that's at the top end of acceptable money for that player. Thankfully he's only got 1 year on his contract so we're in a stronger position than if he had say 3, where we'd probably have ended up paying 15-20, which would have been them arse raping us again. DOn't think Clyne is the higher level we need, would make a good squad player but to come in as No.1 there I'm really not sold. And it's another risky buy as 1) we're hoping he can progress from / stay at (this is a Saints player, let's not forget Lovren here!!) his current level of which there's no guarantee and 2) not bottle it at LFC like his ex / soon to be again (if still here) - team mates
Not convinced on Clyne, but not seen enough of him to have a proper opinion yet. Guess we'll see how he does and hope he can step up and keep on improving. I remember a few years ago when Walked was raved about as a fullback and I felt he was ****e...hope Clyne doesn't go that way. Not convinced on Markovic ever making it here either, but he should at least get another season now that he's settled in. Unfortunately, I don't see where his game time will come from this year even if Sterling goes and no idea what Rodgers wants to do formation wise, but it appears initially that it'll be narrow with fullbacks providing width - which isn't for Markovic. Same for Lovren. **** first season, but not writing him off yet. He gets one more.
Re chelsea Mata got ****ed out. Oscar is rumoured to be on the way out. Cuad is an utter flop who he doesn't fancy Salah lasted 5 mins. Asti was straight out on loan 2 of that lot are kids who will be on loan shortly In fact William is a huge work horse for them and hazard has adapted that to his game as well. Mourinho demands work work work
Mankiller is on loan, why would we be looking to shift him? Lucas is our only true DM so no way he should be leaving unless someone is coming in. Enrique shouldn't be leaving unless we're getting another LB, can't go into the season with just Moreno (who can't defend) But harsh on Marko. Agree with points already made on this and I can't really see him making out with us but one season with little chances and out is harsh. Edit: Aspas as already been sold too.
Borini- Lazio? Needs a bid Lambert- villa or Bournemouth Coates- sunderland Enrique- told to find a new club Luis Alberto- will go on loan Manquillo- decision looks already taken. Will not play I reckon Balotelli- difficult to see who the hell will bid Lucas- highly doubtful as has no destination Markovic is going nowhere
Borini - Needs to go, best for both. Lambert - See above Coates - Off to Sunderland for £4m it seems Enrique - If a buyer comes In, needs to go. I think when fit he's a very good full back, far better than Moreno but staying fit is the issue. Take the offer and get him off the wage bill (60k?) Luis Alberto - Had high hopes but don't see where he fits in now. Still young so should command some sort of fee back in Spain. Manquillo - Like him, would like him to stay and get a chance. Balotelli - Ger rid back to Italy asap Lucas - Keep - Keep. Only real DM we have. Might not be the best however no coincidence our best run of form results and from a defensive view point came with him in the team in place of Gerrard at DM. Markovic - Keep. Showed glimpses last year, but isn't a RWB. Needs to be played where he is best. In a 4231, could easily play that right hand side with Firmino from the left and Coutinho centrally. Needs a proper run of games
Saints being linked with Cabaye, think he'd be a good signing for them and probably quite cheap given he's not really wanted at PSG. Think he's a decent player, can play centrally and be a deep lying play maker or can play higher up if needed as well.
No disrespect to Saints but I thought there would be a few better options available to him. I'd have taken him at Liverpool if we needed a player in that area
Do you seriously see Liverpool as a better option than Saints? You can always buy him next year so no problem
This will go down like a **** sandwich on here but I don't see how the Clyne transfer works for any party involved. If there is a winner in the deal then it's Southampton.
