Skillfull, Hopefully Interesting Talents: The Summer 19 Transfer Forum

If I felt there were any reason Dybala would want to come to Liverpool, I'd say it's worth the gamble... he's looked like Aguero 2.0 at times. He's versatile, he's creative, and if given chances to score he will score. Over the past few seasons he's done a better job of outperforming his xG90 stat than Aguero, so you put him in a system in which you are focused on getting him and Salah chances and that is team that is going to be scoring.

But again, he'd cost an insane amount and it's hard to see him wanting to pick up and move to the NW of England.

 

Due to a 2 freak accidents with Gomez... not a persistent issue with muscle injuries or anything.

That said if all parties wanted Lovren to move on this summer, I would understand.

 

We haven't nbeen able to get 38 games out of AOC either - yet Arsenal had no problems doing it over and over ....

 

Michael Edwards has targeted a £10m potential star to cover both LB and CB

Now that's a move that makes sense.

 

thats actually a great idea

 

Baines would never sign for Liverpool. He's too blue.

 

Klopp has talked to Richarlison's agent about a per report from Brazil. I'd take him for the bench, but a likely 70M price tag would give me some pause.

 

I don't think he's all that great, but I haven't seen a ton of him and he does represent versatility in attack. But for 70M... hope not.

 

Or maybe just an agent driving a hard bargain to get his client some improved terms. Everton would throw money at him without even thinkin'

 

that talk about Richarlison is total BS. His agent has made it clear he visited Klopp for personal reasons - he's the agent of a player whose dad is a close friend of Klopp.

(yes, of course I know that could be BS as well - but read the agent's explanation. it rings very true to me)

 

Probably , but I bet it's winding up the Bluenoses to no end

 

That has pretty much been ignored by the outlets which broke the story here in Blighty.

 

seeing a bunch of stories (echo chamber?) that Origi will be offered a new contract this summer.

good move, I think.

face it - he deserves it for THAT goal alone.

 

He’s not that expensive in wages but he may be a later bloomer (he says in hope!)

 

I'm all for keeping Origi around. Yeah he's probably not going to score 20, but he's shown he can do a job as a squad player. We need those types of players to fill out the squad, so if wages are reasonable, no issue keeping him.

 

Never encouraged at an early enough to add a couple of other strings to his bow since he was bigger and faster than everyone else, eh?

 

I agree, I think there's no harm in him staying as long as he's okay being a domestic cup/bench option. He's done well in that role this season.

 

watching Hazard rip WH apart last night over and over again reminded me that very very few players are truly 2-footed, and what an incredible advantage that can be.

even the very best strikers favour one foot 99% of the time ... Messi, Mo, are two good examples. Mo has scored some goals with his right but goes left almost every time. if he had more trust in his right foot he'd be a ton more difficult to defend. Ronaldo prefers his right but has taught himself how to blast 'em with either foot. Same with Suarez.

coaches of young players should do more to address this. it is a huge advantage, and while difficult, can be learned if you start early enough.
