General LFC Transfer rumours/gossip thread

meh, not interested.

It looks like he's quite good but has an attitude of winning by all costs? The BBC said he was banned for 1 year in Dec 2015 because he was positive for a banned diuretic.

meh, not interested.

They are direct rivals so i for one would be interested in seeing / discussing who the other teams bring in or out

Damn these rumors. 

Not sure how good of a source this is.  Probably sh*t.  But here's a link to start this off with.

Just saw United signed a Fred guy from Shaktar. How good is he? and do we have a thread anywhere discussing transfers by other teams?

What i have seen of him he is better than their current midfielders

I’ve seen him play the odd bit, seems like an attack minded player to me, so I can’t really see him being too much of a success with them. His style of play has some flair to it, the complete opposite to what Jose wants to see from his players. City seem like an ideal team for him, I’m guessing they weren’t offering as much money though.

Courtois to Atletico Madrid, Alisson to Chelsea, Leno to Roma and then Oblak to Liverpool! That would be perfect

I really wish each journo had an Uber driver type rating next to their name which gave them a score from '10-0' in terms of how many bullshit stories that never come to anything they post. That way the sh*te ones might just do everyone a favour and pack it in and go be sh*te at another job instead.

Lots of Twitter talk about Moses Simon - 22yr old Nigerian international from Gent in Belgium.

Quick, strong but a bit wasteful seems to be the general view. Potential.......

Since I am new to this sport I admit I do not know who or what would improve our team during this transfer season(my first). I am however addicted to all things LFC and am trying to learn as much as I can as fast as I can.

Though my football knowledge is limited, I do know statistics.  I wanted to look back at the season and just not the final match.

On paper it looks as if we were solid defensively. I know just looking at the numbers can be deceiving but we only gave up on average 7.4 shots a match, second fewest in the league.   What shocked me was the fact that we were next to last in the league, only ahead of Watford, goals scored per shot. We were barely better than Huddersfield in this regard and every other team in the league was well ahead of us.

I write all of this knowing the numbers do not tell the entire story but neither do they lie. We were not good in goal.  I now see why there is so much talk about signing a goalie in this transfer window.

I suppose we would need to sign someplayers to strengthen the squad whose stature are more suitable to being backups. Can't say I've ever heard of him.

I'm another one who is a big fan of stats as I believed its useful if use properly.
But the low average shots concede per game you mentioned above imo not represent our defensive strength. I think it rather represent our strength in attack as in EPL very few team seem not park the buses against us.  Against teams with strong attacking such as Real Madrid in ECL Final, whenever our attacking weaken our midfield and defence really expose as our midfield players were not good enough defensively.  The truth that JK brought in Fabinho is enough to prove this.

Next season I'm confident our midfield will improve alot, squad depth also very impressive.

Thank you.  When I look at it like this I understand what you are saying.  Again, I am learning so I appreciate the information. Is it concerning that we gave up a goal every 7.4 attempts on goal?  That was second fewest in all of the EPL.  The league average was around 9.2.

Yes it is a concern and is why we need an upgrade on Migs and Karius.

I have it on good authority that JWH and FSG are willing to go as high as 89p per week to sign him

The small number of average shots per match could be due to our "collective effort in defending", while this doesn't take away the improved performance of the back 4 either. So, yes this number can tell many things. The point about we're not good in goal seems valid though.

I cant believe City are f**king about with this transfer! Probably we go back next year?!

Apparently it’s over a difference of about 2mill Euros. I hope they blow this deal and end up with Lemina

You saying that Arsenal want to sign Trump for a penny a week..??

Really? So cheap for Jorginho!!! If I were Napoli, I would tell them 80m or F**k off !

Keep reading that Napoli want 50 but City are only offering 48. Pocket change to them.

If true, I am shocked, but even more shocked Napoli are not asking for more.

Like I said before, Jorginho is pretty much John Williams when in possession, and there isn't anyone better than him at what he does in European football imo. Even at 80m, I'd be happy to have taken him if we didn't sign Fabinho!
