      Scouting at the Euros - Realistic Targets Only
      Jun 10, 2012 10:44:30 am
      Perfect timing this tournamnent with Rodgers now in the hot seat and whilst Rodgers will have a few ideas in terms of players he'd like to bring in I've got no doubt that he is scouring this tournament for a gem or two who might fint into his new LFC program. It's clear that we will struggle to compete with the likes of City, united and Chelsea in terms of the top transfer targets at the moment so this thread is just for players that jump out at this tournament. Not the usual household names, there's no point drooling over a player like Llorente because he is SADLY not in our league for the time being.

      A player who really caught my eye on day one was Vaclav Pilar (LM) for the Czech Republic. As a team they were shi...te but he really caught the eye, he was quick, happy to run at players and grabbed a good goal with a an intelligent run and finish. Can't say i've heard of the lad before and I don't even know who he plays for but will be keeping an eye out for the lad in their next game.

      A word of caution.remember the world cup when Houllier was our manager 2 players caught his eye and they turned out crap.In fact one of them could of won a gold medal at the Olympics for spitting.

      I think I will forever rue the decision to opt for that horrible little fuxxer ahead of the excellent Nicholas Anelka. Anelka could have been a Liverpool player 10 years.

      I think the trick is to do your homework on the player above and beyond what you see at the tournament. Also, I would argue that the Euros are a much better proving ground than the World Cup given that the quality on show is more dense with very few (what you would call) minnows and the style of football is (as you would excpect) European.

      This is a common misconception. Diouf and Diao were already linked in the newspapers and the deals were sealed before the World cup started. Well I know Diaos' definitely was, because I remember hearing about it on BBC1 on the day of the France vs Senegal game, few hours before it started.

      Maybe it was a bad thing. As Diouf had a great world cup, his price would have gone up and if we did not sign him before it, it might have put Houllier off  ;D

      I was particularly impressed by Russia's Roman Shirokov.

      Maybe a tad too old (at 30) to be considered a potential signing but he seems to have the full-house when it comes to midfield play - a 'holding' midfielder who can score goals, defend and play centre half (alongside Skrtel  ;)) if needs be.

      I know its not feasable now, but always been a fan of Zhirkov, never got a real crack at Chelsea, can play LW and LB. Fast, determined and technically good. Shame, he wouldnt move away from Russia earning high wages!

      What about Anyukov, the Russian right back?

      I can still recall in the media Diao saying to Houllier please sign me boss,now as I remember it that was after the world cup.Regarding Diouf,a fee might have been agreed but he had not signed before the world cup. I agree with you regarding Diouf having a good world cup,it was just a pity he never showed the same commitment to L.F.C..

      Elm was put in a more defensive role from what I heard. I only saw the last ten minutes and all I can remember is him chopping down Voronin when he was on a run and putting in a smashing croos field ball to Williamson.

      Just finished watching yesterdays games, two very untidy games.  It was, on the large part, more a case of seeing players' weaknesses then their pluses.  Dzagoev still looks like a player though.

      Jordi Alba should join Barcelona in the next few weeks. I like Dzagoev as well but I'd be surprised if he was available. It is very dangerous to buy players on the back of international tournaments though.

      Dzagoev is not a realistic target, I'm afraid. He's the hottest property in Russian football and nowadays their league is awash with money. If he is to move this summer then it will be for a huge fee and probably to a CL team.

      Been very impressed by Gebre Selassie, the Czech full-back. Not sure if he would be good for LFC but could do a good job for a few Premiership teams. Have to admit, the two teams he has played against in the Euros, have not been the strongest.

      Well you say that but his contract is running out in 6 months time. Very interesting how it's going to play out now. I don't think CSKA expected him to have the tournament he is having and it seems to have caught them short.

      I bet they are panicking now.

      What about Poland captain Jakub Blaszczykowski? (Not because he scored yesterday!) I've been impressed with his two games this tournament. Pacey winger, put some decent crosses in for Lewandowski. He's not much of a goal-scorer, though. I know it's sort of the vogue thing to try and grab a Dortmund player at the moment, but as a transfer I think this could be done. However, I'm not sure how much he'd improve our squad.

      Jetro Willems, he turned 18 in March.  Looks like a great prospect.

      He had an absolute shocker against Germany, honestly one of the worst performances I've seen at top level play. Haven't heard of him before the tournament so hope for his sake he recovers but defensively he was ridiculously bad and I'm not sure he managed to pass to a team-mate the entire match and that's not exaggerating much.

      The one player who has impressed me was the Italian right-back, bags of pace and looked like he could defend too, can't remember his name right now!

      Andy Carroll, the English striker that played yesterday, his hold up play is awesome, seems as he'd get on the end of a few crosses as well. I'd do a straight swap for him.  Our #9 for the Andy Carroll that played today.

      Yeah I like him too. Got a bit of everything. Reminds me of a younger, left footed Krasic because of his height and style of play.

      Would Kuba be a realistic target?

      I mentioned him a bit earlier in this thread. In terms of a realistic target I think we can get him. But how much he'd improve the team, I don't know. Would bring a ton of pace though.

      I like the Czech RB Salesse I think his name is. He's playing for some obscure club I think. That Pilar fella looks a player too. Don't think he's been tackled so far in the entire tournament, really illusive on the ball. Apparently he's just signed for Wolfsburg for peanuts though.

      That number 7 for Portugal looks tasty too. Word is his buyout clause is only 1 Billion Euros.

      Been very impressed by Gebre Selassie, the Czech full-back. Not sure if he would be good for LFC but could do a good job for a few Premiership teams. Have to admit, the two teams he has played against in the Euros, have not been the strongest.

      You must be right because Werder Bremen signed him today!

      I'm not sure if he is a player that we should be after but I've been quite impressed with Mario Mandzukic.

      Haven't seen or heard a lot of Marco Reus before, seems a damn good player but I'd expect he'd come with a decent price tag too. Checked on Transfermarkt to get a rough guide and they're suggesting £17.5m.

      Also how available he'd be I equally have no idea but I think the lad could be a cracking player.

      He's signing for Dortmund, he has a pre-contract I think.

      Yeah Marco Reus is an amazing talent. Seen Crouchy rave about him in the past and thought i'd look him up and he didn't disappoint. Wasn't even at his best today.

      Aye, Reus is off to Dortmund this summer, deal was done a good few months ago if I remember correctly. Gotze, Reus, Kuba and Lewandoski. That's a strong front 4, even after the Kagawa departure. Supposedly the Reus deal was one of the reasons why Kagawa decided to leave too.

      Been raving about Reus for awhile now. Outstanding player.

      Him and Gotze will light the German league on fire next term.

      Daily Fail are trying to report that Reus is an Arsenal target today! Obviously have no knowledge of the lad, as it's been widely reported since January that he's signed a pre-contract with Dortmund.
