Saint_Tony Posted 18 July, 2014 Posted 18 July, 2014 I agree, our transfer business is done. There's no way we'll sign anyone else now. 17th would be a cracking finish with the turd we have in our squad. Ok, sorry for the sarcasm, but I'm drunk and tired. Still even if those 4 you mention do better than us, that's still a 12th place finish, which for a transition season is fine by me. Did I say that? I said I would be surprised if we finished above all of them, which would allow for just one of them to finish above us. In all fairness the rumours of players in have gone quiet once again. The squad is looking very thin, it was an issue last season, and is currently a much bigger issue.
SuperSAINT Posted 18 July, 2014 Posted 18 July, 2014 Liverpool agree to sell striker Fabio Borini to Sunderland: http://www1.skysports.com/transfer/news/11661/9387114/transfer-news-liverpool-agree-to-sell-striker-fabio-borini-to-sunderland (£14m?!)

Beckenham Saint Posted 19 July, 2014 Author Posted 19 July, 2014 Liverpool fans on twitter claiming that they have done great business to get £95 million for Borini, Assaidi and Suarez. Nice to see they have forgotten they spent £80m on Lallana, Carrol and Downing.
lickierambert Posted 19 July, 2014 Posted 19 July, 2014 £14 million for Borini is obscene. Never really looked like a striker who could lead a line for a PL club last season
Window Cleaner Posted 19 July, 2014 Posted 19 July, 2014 £14 million for Borini is obscene. Never really looked like a striker who could lead a line for a PL club last season but he won't lead the line, he'll play off Wickham and be good enough about it I expect.
skintsaint Posted 19 July, 2014 Posted 19 July, 2014 Would like Borini here but not for that price, was thinking around 5m!!!
Window Cleaner Posted 19 July, 2014 Posted 19 July, 2014 Would like Borini here but not for that price, was thinking around 5m!!! From PL club to PL club you only get virtually out of contract players or relative duffers for 5 million. Or blokes returning to their "boyhood home" I suppose.
Delboy Dave Posted 19 July, 2014 Posted 19 July, 2014 Would like Borini here but not for that price, was thinking around 5m!!! Yep same here, although upto 11 m tops would have been ok in today's market
Beckenham Saint Posted 19 July, 2014 Author Posted 19 July, 2014 Yep same here, although upto 11 m tops would have been ok in today's market £11m would be over the odds for a Striker who has only scored 28 goals in 106 first team appearances. Quite a few of the 10 he scored for Sunderland last year were penalties, IIRC, so doesn't suggest he has an amazing all round game. Would be gutted if we splashed £11m on someone like him. Think he would be a decent squad player, but not for double figures...
whelk Posted 19 July, 2014 Posted 19 July, 2014 Fine work from Liverpool. Liverpool sign Borini and Assaidi for £12.5m. Start just five league games between them for the club and sell for £21m. Crazy prices
sentry Posted 19 July, 2014 Posted 19 July, 2014 Everyone is always shocked at todays prices but those prices are the going rate now a days from Prem to Prem and Champ to Prem prices. The only way to get bargins is from Europe and beyond. And also fans are so obsessed with the values of players when its totally irrelivant.... saints for spend £100 mil on players who I dont rate or 10mil on players I do.
whelk Posted 19 July, 2014 Posted 19 July, 2014 Irrelevant? Yeah don't know why anyone bothers negotiating.
Delboy Dave Posted 19 July, 2014 Posted 19 July, 2014 Liverpool must think a lot of Rickie... To coin one of his own phrases, I am kinda 'made up' for him @LFC: #LFC have confirmed summer signing Rickie Lambert has been allocated the No.9 jersey for the new season http://t.co/ajl3AIydCW
PhilippineSaint Posted 19 July, 2014 Posted 19 July, 2014 I've had a Browny . Should this not be in the Jimmy Saville thread.
david in sweden Posted 19 July, 2014 Posted 19 July, 2014 obvious reply is : ....that's all right then, at least we've got until Christmas before the Board realise it and sack us, and think of all that huge compensation we'll get on our 5 year contracts ....
david in sweden Posted 19 July, 2014 Posted 19 July, 2014 What's your point? It's one thread. Not like there isn't plenty of discussion on our signings on other threads. I know, but sometimes it feels like there ought to be another " oh ...why didn't we sign that player " thread .....for all the moaners.
Saxon Posted 19 July, 2014 Posted 19 July, 2014 Apparently Liverhampton have agreed an £8.5 million fee for Remy... after selling Borini for £14 million. What the hell QPR. Are you just trolling everyone else? The world is crazy.
Plastic Posted 19 July, 2014 Posted 19 July, 2014 Apparently Liverhampton have agreed an £8.5 million fee for Remy... after selling Borini for £14 million. What the hell QPR. Are you just trolling everyone else? The world is crazy. Sunderland paying 14mil for a player who Liverpool don't want or need is crazy. That's 2mil more than they paid for him.
charliemiller Posted 19 July, 2014 Posted 19 July, 2014 Apparently Liverhampton have agreed an £8.5 million fee for Remy... after selling Borini for £14 million. What the hell QPR. Are you just trolling everyone else? The world is crazy. Competition for AL or maybe we are now getting Coutinho:lol:

Whitey Grandad Posted 19 July, 2014 Posted 19 July, 2014 Remy has a release clause in his contract. Is he the one with different release values depending on who wants to buy him?
Restark19 Posted 19 July, 2014 Posted 19 July, 2014 Borini apparently rejected the move to Sunderland
Heisenberg Posted 19 July, 2014 Posted 19 July, 2014 Borini apparently rejected the move to Sunderland Liverpool will be gutted Lallana to Liverpool £25m Remy to Liverpool for £8.5m Borini to Sunderland for £14m Not sure which club is the biggest dicks
JoeShmoe Posted 19 July, 2014 Posted 19 July, 2014 Borini apparently rejected the move to Sunderland Good, one good bit of business they could have done and they can't do it. Serves the precious luvvies right
Batman Posted 20 July, 2014 Posted 20 July, 2014 Spurs about to sign Davies from Swansea. Possibly a straight swap with sigurdsson...that is spurs preferred payment option
Window Cleaner Posted 20 July, 2014 Posted 20 July, 2014 Spurs about to sign Davies from Swansea. Possibly a straight swap with sigurdsson...that is spurs preferred payment option It will be Sigurdsson + money as likely as not because there's a bit of difference in their current valuations, probably about 5 million or so.
Window Cleaner Posted 20 July, 2014 Posted 20 July, 2014 Is he the one with different release values depending on who wants to buy him? Thought that was Suarez, there will probably be others though.
Beckenham Saint Posted 20 July, 2014 Author Posted 20 July, 2014 Is he the one with different release values depending on who wants to buy him? yeah, it's £8.5m to those who are in the Champions League. Not sure what the fee is to those who aren't, though...
Window Cleaner Posted 20 July, 2014 Posted 20 July, 2014 Hmmm. If they'd take 10m I'd go for him. Good option in support like Rodriguez rather than main striker. Wonder why he rejected it, he was starting to play well there. probably wants a better class of football, Italy maybe. Either that or actually believes he might get a game for Liverpool. Probably end up at West Ham.
SaintRobbie Posted 20 July, 2014 Posted 20 July, 2014 £14 million for Borini is obscene. Never really looked like a striker who could lead a line for a PL club last season Agree - can't see that being a good piece of business.
Saint Charlie Posted 20 July, 2014 Posted 20 July, 2014 WBA signing the Costa Rica RB Gamboa apparently. Looked fairly handy in the WC.
S-Clarke Posted 20 July, 2014 Posted 20 July, 2014 WBA signing the Costa Rica RB Gamboa apparently. Looked fairly handy in the WC. Example of a good, collective defensive unit. Individually, not the greatest players.
Viking Warrior Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 I wish the Argie ****t would hurry up and buy osvaldo
FloatingbridgeSaint Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 Liverpool seem to be taking the transfer market by the horns, I just wonder if its all going to go horribly wrong for them(wishful thinking) along the lines of Spurs buying a shed load last season. Also, how are they going to manage the current first teamers who are going to get less game time?
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 Wanted to have a b!tch about this but didn't really know where. Tosser utd fan at work today moaning to me about their entire defence having gone. F**k off mate. Seriously? Just get away from me. I have no sympathy whatsoever. Anyway, out my system now. As you were.

F**k off mate. Seriously? Just get away from me. I have no sympathy whatsoever. Anyway, out my system now. As you were. A back 4 of Rafael, De Vrij, Hummels, Shaw is a pretty tasty back 4 for them next season. They have nothing to worry about.
saint_ed Posted 22 July, 2014 Posted 22 July, 2014 West Brom have signed Andre Wisdom on loan. They started well with Lescott but have since signed Chris Baird and now Wisdom. I think they are definitely in for a long season! There were reports of Lescott already being unhappy due to broken promises on transfer targets and the lack of progress they are making in signing high profile names. Another case of a club telling prospective signings whatever they want to hear to get them to sign on the dotted line?

Been having a look on WBA forums, they're actually pretty happy with their transfer business, which is something after they were pretty much unanimously angry about Irvine being appointed. I do think they're in for a long season though, even going through what we have this summer, I still think Saints are in far better shape than some clubs in this division.
pap Posted 22 July, 2014 Posted 22 July, 2014 Dunno if this has been posted on the Lallana thread, but this piece of gutter journalism from the Star is amusing. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/390289/Liverpool-MOCKED-for-spending-25m-on-Adam-Lallana-days-after-Kroos-joins-Real-for-20m
SNSUN Posted 22 July, 2014 Posted 22 July, 2014 Stoke sign Bojan. One of Barcelona's up and coming youngsters in the mid naughties and now joined the Potters. Still youngish, could be a cracking signing if he settles well.
doddisalegend Posted 22 July, 2014 Posted 22 July, 2014 Stoke sign Bojan. One of Barcelona's up and coming youngsters in the mid naughties and now joined the Potters. Still youngish, could be a cracking signing if he settles well. From the BBC.....spent last season on loan at Ajax scoring four times in 24 appearances for the Dutch club. kind of interesting comparing Graziano Pelle's record in the same league.
SuperSAINT Posted 22 July, 2014 Posted 22 July, 2014 A blast from the past... Hull City are in talks with French side Rennes regarding a deal for Cameroon international defender Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik, Sky sources understand. The 25-year-old has made well over 100 appearances for his current employers during a four-year stay.
CB Fry Posted 22 July, 2014 Posted 22 July, 2014 (edited) Been having a look on WBA forums, they're actually pretty happy with their transfer business, which is something after they were pretty much unanimously angry about Irvine being appointed. I do think they're in for a long season though, even going through what we have this summer, I still think Saints are in far better shape than some clubs in this division. If we'd signed a new striker for 10m I think we'd be excited, ditto Lescott. That said, both could easily flop, like Fulham ' s 10m Greek from January, and anyone we buy this summer. And it's hard to imagine their manager being anything other than an abject failure. Edited 22 July, 2014 by CB Fry
Batman Posted 22 July, 2014 Posted 22 July, 2014 Arsenal sign Ospina on a 4 year deal they are a top DM away from having a cracking transfer window
SuperSAINT Posted 22 July, 2014 Posted 22 July, 2014 Chilean publication El Mercurio is reporting that Newcastle have reached an agreement with Juventus for Mauricio Isla. An £8million fee is said to have been agreed for the full-back, who will join on a four-year contract.
S-Clarke Posted 22 July, 2014 Posted 22 July, 2014 Chilean publication El Mercurio is reporting that Newcastle have reached an agreement with Juventus for Mauricio Isla. An £8million fee is said to have been agreed for the full-back, who will join on a four-year contract. He was linked with us a few weeks back wasn't he? Very versatile player, can operate in a number of positions - namely right sided though. Probably not really a position we need to focus on, but N'castle are doing some good business for sure.
S-Clarke Posted 22 July, 2014 Posted 22 July, 2014 Arsenal sign Ospina on a 4 year deal they are a top DM away from having a cracking transfer window Total change of attitude there, actually going out and signing proven talent - rather than just young players. Will push them right back into contention.
Saint Charlie Posted 22 July, 2014 Posted 22 July, 2014 Quite a few teams that were in and around us are developing far stronger squads than we have, substantially so. Newcastle, Stoke and Hull as examples. All set to improve to being likely to finish ahead of us I would expect.
