Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours thread

Caulker played three games in Europe for Saints this season. However, I think he can play in EL for us because Saints only played qualifiers / playoffs.

 

Yes but...

our squad was down to 21 cos we could not find enough HG players

We would have to swap him with someone already on list... I think... we need to figure this one out cos I'm not sure we can register him.

 

I thought we HAD to have a minimum number of HG players? Its not a limitation on none HG players as such (although effectively it is).

there should be no problem adding Caulker to our EL squad. He is HG anyway.

 

Deal agreed in principal with Matip

 

Your mate said anything recently? He's been quiet this window.

 

I've not been in contact with him really. He's not been frantically texting or calling, so I'm not expecting much of note.

 

Something about signing Robben...?

 

Does he have to rebuild bridges with Klopp's arrival?

 

You wouldn't let it lie

 

This wouldn't be the same if we did

 

He'll have to get to know him. It's coming along.

 

So he's not exactly at a stage where he'll be #itk yet?

 

He does have other connections

 

Yep, our panic buy when Torres buggered off. That wasn't in the script. That's what I mean by lucky punts; and he was an unlucky one, as they have all been apart from Sturridge and Suarez, oh and Cout. Apart from that, **** all.

 

Arbeloa.

This system started in 2002/03

This article explains how very hit and miss it is.

Rafa did best... houllier nothing, Kenny one huge error, one big success, rodgers did one good then nothing... hodgson never got a chance. ... etc...

 

Hit or miss - just the same as the summer ha!

 

well.... rafa did ok...

In general rodgers did much better in one january than 3 summers.

houllier didn't buy in the period. Rodgers didn't for 2 in a row. Klopp might just do the one actual buy for the future.

I go back to the newcastle situation where they bought in players and upset others under keegan and ended up losing form as a result. That was prior to the window but look at faustino asprilla.... he came in feb 1996 and newcastle just could not figure out how the hell to use him.

very hard to come in and get settled. living in hotels, not moving kids til summer etc etc etc....

 

Except the singer window is longer so as more success / failures. People prefer to remember the successes

 

No wonder why we're playing **** when we're buying singers instead of footballers
