Unlike John West- you pick the ones we reject- LFC Transfer Thread

Considering RMs reported financial mess, I'd guess they offered terms on that payment that extend to the next century...hence the refusal from PSG.

 

Liverpool are reportedly considering a late move to sign Sevilla forward Lucas Ocampos before the 11pm deadline on August 31.

... apparently his wife sent out a tweet or something with YNWA in it. so that's proof positive, right there.

 

it could be that RM want to ensure Barca don't have any chance i.e. kick your opponent when they're at their weakest.

 

Just like the Lucas digne tattoo?

 

Challenging?
They're playing most games with a midfield consisting of Fred, McTominay, and Matic.
I'd back Milner, Elliott, and Jones (our 5th, 6th, and 7th players in midfield) ahead of that trio.

They have a RB that literally cannot cross the halfway line.

And a completely adequate, but neither good nor great, manager.

They'll challenge for the Carabao and the ECL, but not compete at the high end of the table.

 

Time for a new thread title:

Now, stop linking us with every Mbappe and Haaland in Europe...

 

Perhaps but I do believe they have sufficient quality to be thereabouts for the league and minimally advance into CL quarterfinal.

 

Man U has a squad which is capable of cutting through low to mid-table teams and, if they blink, top ones too.

The weakness is on the management side. With that squad, Klopp would walk the treble.

 

I hope these United criticisms will prove correct. I mean, I hoped the same when I heard these very similar arguments the past 2 seasons and that didn't really work out. And United are better now. But I guess no harm in a little more hope?

Sounds like they are being offered Ronaldo, in his evident desperation for a move this year as opposed to next. I don't know if anyone in the prem would bite unless he's willing to take a massive paycut? Doesn't seem like great business financially, but the concept of him getting on the end of balls by Pogba/Sancho/Bruno or KDB/Grealish/Mahrez/Gundogan, that does sound like it could be effective.

 

It now sounds like it’s City. Interesting fit if true.

 

That makes sense too. Not financially, of course, but since when has that stopped City.

 

They did what I said they'd do, basically... finished top 4 with a good defense. Which lot of people disagreed with. And now they're better. That's all, no one is saying they should be favorites for the CL.

And Aston Villa thrashed Liverpool before the VVD injury, so I'm not sure what the purpose is of looking at one or two particular matches devoid of other context.

People said they weren't finishing in the top 4. The arguments weren't convincing then and aren't now, as far as I'm concerned. We'll see what happens though, maybe they underperform. If Ole is holding them back so much, even the potential of Haaland and Camavinga won't secure them a prem title... so believe me I hope the naysayers are right. I just don't see it, especially after they replace the likes of Cavani & Matic.

 

How many goals is Ronaldo gonna score for City?

 

in some ways CR7 is more of a like-for-like replacement for Aguero, in terms of what they bring to the team / style of play.

if he ends up there, expect to see a lot of wrestling for the ball between him and KdB for FKs in good scoring positions.

 

apparently we've put in a bid for Bissouma ....

It is not confirmed what Liverpool’s bid was, but Brighton are said to want around £40m for Bissouma and are under no pressure to sell after already getting £50m for Ben White this summer.

from what I've seen he'd fit in, he is a good player. but he'd need to cool his heels for a year at least before he got near the starting 11 on any regular basis. if we did sign him we'd surely be moving out Ox or Origi?

 

Well... nevermind. Ronaldo to return to United instead, I guess.

Now how many goals is he going to score?

Not fun news to wake up to.

 

Ok so now it's ....
expect to see a lot of wrestling for the ball between him and Fernandez for FKs in good scoring positions.

 

Juventus desperately wanted the CL and broke the bank for Cristiano Ronaldo. Didn’t work out so Man City wants the sane

First eleven , ours is definitely better. Man U has better depth in that the drop off in quality, if any, isn’t that much, compared to ours.
