Transfer Rumours The 2015 Summer Transfer Window Thread

Chances of Clyne being unable to adapt to Liverpool?

Like Lovren... and Lambert... and Lallana

 

With Rodgers in charge? Probably zero.

 

Who says Rogers will still be there at the beginning of the season?
Would you want to go to a club in turmoil?

 

All in the air with Rodgers... We should know within the next few weeks.

Starting to think our scouts get travel sick.

 

He is sitting down

 

Beginning to think most clubs have sacked their scouts....they just wait until we have bought someone or are looking to buy someone.

 

I think Clyne would not be as good as a wingback in a three CB system. I also don't think Rodgers actually knows how to use that formation. Or anything about defending. So Clyne would have his work cut out for him, but if he goes that's his and LIverpool's problem. As long as we get at least 15m, good luck to him.

 

We would take Liverpool to the cleaners. Guarantee the fee would be in excess of 15m

 

In all honesty, if we get 15million for him, that would be a very good deal for us. If he had kept his first half season form up all season then I would be devastated, but there's no denying that he dropped off quite sharply.
I would obviously prefer to keep him, as he is a really good player (with even more potential to unlock) but with 15million we could fund a RB replacement and have a load of cash spare. Plus, Right Back isn't an essential 'spine' position.

 

Anyone know how much/if there is a sell on % owed to Palace?

I thought we got Clyne through a tribunal and I'm pretty sure these deals always have % of a future transfer involved

 

I thought Liverpool were after Trippier?

 

Stop being fair and reasonable to rival clubs. We turn them into relative paupers over one player - that's a good deal for us.

 

Palace have a 20% sell on clause which makes a substantial hole in the funds

 

We also get sell on clauses (unless we have given them up, as with Theo) so overall I think we'll probably come out ahead over a few seasons.

 

And worst of all, he's foreign.

 

We've apparently missed out on winger Ola John who is going to Swansea. You can't miss what you never knew you had

 

[Falls, swooning, at the loss]

 

Van Gaal realised that if Liverpool want him he must be ****!

 

I was actually just about to post exactly that, until I saw your post.

£3.5m for Tripper or in excess of £10m for Clyne, when you have multiple other positions (many of which are more important than RB) that also need strengthening, I would suggest is a no brainer.

But to be honest, if Liverpool signing Clyne (for, say, £15m) clears the way for us to sign Trippier for £3.5m, I would call that fantastic business from us yet again in the transfer window. Similar to replacing £30m Shaw with £10m Bertrand.

 

I thought that Trippier to Spurs is basically done?
