Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

He's a free transfer, that's the only reason I'd be semi ok with it - depending on wages

Runour is he wants 100k so I wohldnt be going anywhere near him for that

 

I wouldn't be going anywhere near him for £1. Totally contrary to our MO.

 

We were linked with Joe Gomez at one point

 

Good player, but another one who seems to get a lot of injuries.

 

He’s injured again

 

Feels beyond us, but would be another statement.

 

Think this is landing back at Liverpool airport

 

Our MO is signing experienced players on free transfers tho to compliment exciting young players

I cant see it happening, and def not disappointed if it didn't, just don't think he would be the worst risks

 

Why players choose Manchester United over Newcastle?

 

Haha! Shock

 

Thanks Fab, but I'll wait for the leaked photo shoot before I believe it.

 

Yes,agree. But signing players like Xhaka and Reinildo to compliment our young players is not the same prospectus as someone like DCL?

 

The thing is that they've already had two good directors of football. Getting Ashworth and Mitchell were seen as big coups. Ashworth was credited for the work at the National Football centre that saw England win under aged world cups and then helping build Brighton to an established EPL team. But rumours were inside a year of being appointed that Ashworth wasn't happy there and he jumped at the chance to work for Man U as soon as they approached him. I know it went wrong at Man U for him, but he's been reappointed by the FA as chief football officer.

Mitchell was head hunted from Monaco after four years there and had a great reputation after working there, Southampton, Spurs and Leipzig. Yet he's left after one year.

All that suggests is that there's issues behind the scenes and if it carries on, no one will be either successful or there long

 

Mags owners giving Liverpool the Isak transfer money is nice of them.

 

they wont sell him till to get a striker signed now though

 

Don't think it's far off it tho, I would hate it if he was the only CF that came in - however looks like Marc Guiu is joining

The odd experience player is key to help the talented lads, from what ive heard about DCL is he's great around the dressing room and in training - could help our forwards

The biggest question marks are his fitness and wages tho

I would hate someone like Joe Gomez to come in, he would be expected to be a key player and would cost loads but is always injured. I could live with DCL coming in as a 3rd or 4th choice CF option on a reasonable wage

I cant see us signing him anyway, I could actually see Newcastle go for him

 

The Helicopter may have been the alternative travels arrangements for Guiu

 

Absolutely rancid all this mind

 

Man City were also much further on in infrastructure than the mags were at the same stage. A much more modern stadium, proper investment in the training facilities and academy, regular academy players at least getting breaks to play in the first team, an up to date scouting network... It's why they were so attractive to the Abu Dhabi lot in the first place, not a huge amount needed doing. Night and day to that lot up the road.
