Yup. Total bench warmer. His agent worked our name for 18 months. I dont see why barca did it bar needing a few reserves to play when thay want to rest lads in advance of cl later rounds.
Lucas linked with Galatasaray Liverpool’s Brazilian midfielder has been linked with a move to Turkey at various points this summer, and it’s happened again. This time, however, it is not Besiktas, but Galatasaray rumoured to be interested.
Lucas loves everything about Liverpool, it will be a shame when he eventually goes. He is 29, so still a lot of years left in him, especially if he went to a less demanding league. I just don't see him getting much playing time at all here.
And finally, Christian Benteke could remain at Anfield, according to the Daily Mail. Their report suggests Crystal Palace are starting to get cold feet over the transfer fee, believed to be up to £31.5m, and that could see the Belgian striker remain at the club. Liverpool are ready to pay £25million to seal the transfer of FC Cologne left-back Jonas Hector this summer. The 26-year-old shone in the Bundesliga last season before becoming first choice left-back for Germany at Euro 2016, helping the team reach the semi-finals of the tournament. Liverpool may be ready to pay big to bring Hector to Anfield, though Bild reports that Tottenham are also interested and that Barcelona have already tried a £15m bid for him. Still, the Jurgen Klopp factor could prove useful for Liverpool, with the German tactician successfully raiding the Bundesliga for the likes of Loris Karius and Joel Matip in his short time on Merseyside
Everyone always remembers his season of scoring a good number of goals, but didn't he also set the record for most own goals in that same season? He was a solid defender at best
Would anyone here think 30 mill offer for Kante would be worthwhile? Looking at what we've spent elsewhere over last few years it's worth a pop surely if only to make Chelsea pay more lol. Although I think he'd be great as our DM.
We should pay more than that to secure him if possible. We've needed a proper DM for years now. It would be crazy if we didn't even try!
Can't see Kante coming to us though. Said this on leiceste rboard he should stay there another year as he gets to play CL football and young enough secure a move next year if continued to have a good season.
Is there reports he's turned down their (Leicester)offer though? Chelsea have no CL. Fair enough if someone that does comes in but match Leicester wage offer and up Chelsea transfer fee offer. Couldn't hurt lol
Benteke move in danger of COLLAPSE Liverpool are in danger of killing any deal for Christian Benteke after refusing to budge on their asking price. Crystal Palace have outline personal terms agreed with the Belgium international, who is keen to leave Anfield for first-team football with the Eagles. Jurgen Klopp is keen to cash in on the 25-year-old, who was bought from Aston Villa for a whopping £32.5million last summer. But Anfield chiefs are determined to make all of their outlay back, which could see Palace walk away from the deal. Benteke, while keen to join the Eagles, would be willing to fight for his first-team place.
