Hi ED sky sports is saying we have a 22 million bid in for Real Madrid Denis cheryshev ant truth in it thanks
{Ed002's Note - It would make more sense than all of this other BS today. I don't know and would need to ask.}

22million is excessive to say the least tho . Reckon figures are a it wrong there or in euros , and that's still steep
11 Jul 2015 22:52:03
Sky didn't say that. They just forwarded what the Sunday People reported.
11 Jul 2015 23:05:32
The report is from the people paper.

Don't know much about him but if that is true that is a absolutely ridiculous fee for a 24 year old with one season of top flight football.
11 Jul 2015 23:22:36
Sky have not reported that, they may have referred to the Daily Express article which suggests we have, but the Express has linked us with numerous others this summer which haven't materialised.

Could anybody shed any light on this player? As I've never seen him play. And is there any need for him with Ibe, markovic, lallana etc etc

Ed002 called us turning to him in the event of Sterling leaving months ago to be fair, he's a great crosser of the ball; would make sense if we coupled his signing with Benteke's. I did think we'd replaced Sterling with Firmino but we continue to be linked with wingers.

total disgrace lfc being held to ransom again,somebody
should phone the pope. lol

He is certainly an excellent player not needed at all.
12 Jul 2015 07:26:27
Unnecessary buy now we've signed Firmino.

What about £40m + kolarov for sterling. Kolarov could play as a winger instead of spending 22m on cheryshev.
kit

It is bing widely reported in Spain now. That could be re-reporting of our press I suppose.
For those asking what kind of player he is: he's an out and out left winger. Good pace, eye for goal. He's a direct kind of player - prefers the early cross than getting to the byeline. He'd need players with clever movement in the box (we have that) and ideally somebody that could get their head on something (which we don't yet).
How would he fit in? Well first is that he's left footed. That sounds daft but how many times last year did we have somebody there that always had to cut back in which made us very narrow. We have been missing a bit of balance.
He plays a different role to Firmino who is a more centralish left sided player - probably the second striker in my eyes.
If we bought DC I think we'd want to go with Flanno down the left when he's fit. With Moreno we'd end up over committed going forward.
Of al the names we've been linked with for a "Sterling replacement" this is the closest that I have seen that would actually be that.

Thanks for that user013, just think we need to start off loading some attacking players before buying more
