Transfer Rumours The Summer Transfer Rumour Thread 2016

I think we like players to do their defensive bit, so, unless he is willing to change, he wouldn't suit us either. I remember in an episode of In the Box, JWP said he liked being forward as he didn't like defensive stuff. Forster jokingly chastised him...Now, James, you know we defend from the front. I'm guessing he was mimicking what the coaches say.

 

I have to say that I am amazed that several people mention taking Depay without so much as a question on his attitude/ability to strop.

Link to Liverpool winger, Ibe.

Ibe or not Ibe, that is the question.

 

Like? Bloody obligatory!

 

This is a good point. I suppose to a certain extent all coaches like their wingers/wide players to track back and do their bit. My thinking was really that mourinho probably asks a lot more (defensively) from his players than most.

 

Adge Cutler put it rather differently:
"Where be that blackbird to?
Ibe after 'ee"

 

I'd have Chambo over Memphis any day of the week. Memphis just seems like a stroppy twat who would no doubt think we are beneath him. Not for me.

Signing Stek would be a great piece of business imo.

 

Adge Cutler = leg end

 

Agree it's a gamble fats. I'm just trusting whoever we do sign will have been rigorously assessed on that angle. You never know, a poor season in Manchester (plus being told he's not wanted by Mourinho - if that happens), may humble the young lad.

 

As far as I know Memphis has never had an attitude problem before. He has struggled this season and his attitude has been questioned. At PSV I believe he was a hard worker and a great success, one season doesn't define a player.

 

Agree, that may tone him down a bit, but you know when you see those nasty signs too often...

 

Well if we went for him and he came, I'd trust Ron and back Depay.

 

Of course, you have to get behind them.

Besides, it's not as if we have taken a risk on a player with attitude problems before that has backfired now is it?

 

Fonte buys mask

 

Marc Bartra has announced that he's looking to leave Barcelona to seek more playing time and has been pictured recently with his friend Romeu.

Not seen us linked anywhere yet but I wouldn't be surprised to see us in the mix along with Stokealona.

 

I'd take Memphis all day long, 15 million ish is a risk worth taking. If you can get him playing he'd be a monster on the wing , he's shown flashes of what he can do. If it dosent work out, just sell him back to some Dutch club and recoup a bit of the money laid out. No brainer for me.

 

I doubt Utd would sell. And if they did the price would not be £15million.

 

Long as Ron can actually coach him to defend everything would be good.

Headline reads Liverpool chasing £11 million striker wanted by Leicester. Eleven mill....you are having a laugh. And I think Southampton may want Long as well....oh, look....I think we already have him.
