How do you know without trying?

Why can't you go after several players at once like every other club?

Is giving up and aiming low a strategy you'd applaud?

 

Not at all, calm down though Adrian, Im not slagging them off, the strategy snagged us Gaston which is one I applaud, we were in for Michu and Coutinho last year.

 

It isnt a case of looking at just one player but if you manage to talk to people in and around the game then we are in for some big names that we arent v likely of getting.

People on the Twittersphere saying that Sky Italia have said we've signed Astori.

 

I'm calling BS on this, but just thought I'd share.

 

Tancredi Palmeri seems to be on the ball with all transfers in Italy and he hasn't mentioned it.

Gabriel Marcotti on Talksport just now, asked by someone who texted in about Lamela possibly going to Liverpool - his comment was that Roma have no reason to sell. Given that he thinks Lamela would get in most international starting 11's (including Germany) it sounds like it would take a massive deal to get him out of Roma.

Who knows - I've only ever seen talk of Lamela on this thread.

 

Did also mention Davide Astori, but no comment on whether we were likely to get him. Pretty positive about him as a player and what he might do for us, but did say a player who has developed slower than expected.

Where did all the Lamela talk even come from?

 

Pretty sure he was just an assumption from when Nixon said The Don was in Italy, with his cheque-book....

Sevilla reject £14.5m bid for Negredo from West Ham

 

They say they have no need to sell after the Navas deal and also point out he's got four years left of his contract. Looks like a no-go unless we really want to pay through the nose.

 

Bidding for a player they had 0.01% chance of getting gets them newspaper headlines and pleases the fans. Still, I suppose if you don't try, you don't get. I fancy Saints to bid £30 million for Messi.

...were we looking to buy Andy Carroll?

 

He's asking for 100k a week to move to West Ham :scared:

 

Got a feeling he's going to be bench warming at Liverpool for the rest of his contract with that attitude...

You're so unbelievably transparent.

 

Carly Simon?

 

You're so unbelievably transparent

You probably think this song is about you

You're so unbelievably transparent

I'll bet you think this song is about you

Don't you? Don't you?

Thats crazy talk, I can get my head around his 10-15m value, but that much a week ? How much did Kenny chuck at him FFS ?

He's on 80k at the moment from Kennys move for him and wants an extra 20k to move to the dreaded south/London where it's even less acceptable to assault women women in public.

 

I really hope who ever let Kenny sign him up has been fired (out of a cannon)

Monk has some good contacts I think.

 

There are lots of rumours about other teams but few about us because we try to do things privately behind the scenes as we have been told many times.

 

I'm sure things will get done.

FWIW I dont think he is as bad as people make out, he has his uses. He isnt a great footballer in the very sense of the word but has a decent enough touch, pace and can finish. He is best used as a battering ram though and must be a massive handful to play against.

 

100k or even 80k is mental though. Shows what happens at clubs that rely just on managers opinions and not a commitee IMO

That would be Comollli -

 

On 3 November 2010 his appointment as Director of Football Strategy at Liverpool was announced, with part of his remit being to oversee the recruitment of new players to the club.[15] Comolli made an instant impact at Liverpool as he was responsible for the signings of two players, Luis Suárez and Andy Carroll, on January 2011's transfer deadline day

 

Laughably the section above that on Wiki says

 

On 9 November 2008 it was announced that he would return to Saint-Étienne as sporting director.[11] His appointment led to the departure of manager Laurent Roussey.[12] After leaving Saint-Étienne for Liverpool, the club's co-chairman Bernard Caiazzo claims that Comolli was responsible for causing the club's financial problem and told the News of the World:[13][14]

 

"Damien spent €22 million [£18.7m] of our money on seven players in summer of last year. Only one is a first-team regular now. We gave him the keys to our club and are now in financial difficulties. My own view of Damien is he favours size and strength as the qualities he goes for first. Perhaps, he will do better with more money at his disposal at Liverpool than he did with us. ”

 

In the summer transfer window for the 2011/12 season Comolli helped Liverpool FC sign Jordan Henderson, Charlie Adam, Stewart Downing, Doni, José Enrique, Sebastián Coates and Craig Bellamy.

 

LOL.

 

On 12 April 2012 Comolli left Liverpool by mutual consent.[19] He stated that he left due to family reasons but rumours have circulated that he may have been sacked as a result of failings in the transfer market.

LOL.

 

Shows how poor a manager Kenny was as well, if I remember rightly (and ignoring all the massively inflated fees) Adam, Carroll, Downing and Henderson were very much in form for their respective clubs.

 

Kenny managed to get hold of them and in the space of 6 months all were used as perrenial jokes on social networks, such was their disasterous loss of form and overly expensive prices.

Belhanda is a class class player, has enormous potential, although he went off the boil a little last season. He had trouble finding some motivation to play for Montpellier who did not have a very good season having being champions the year before.

Would take him in a heartbeat.
