I think we should offer Arsenal £40million and one pounds for AOC. Then they can turn it down and he can finally get his dream move to Barca. 😆🤑😆.

Believable10 Unbelievable15

29 Aug 2017 23:44:06
Tat price would buy the entire arsenal team right now.

Agree18 Disagree3

30 Aug 2017 00:04:56
Would love to see there reaction if we offered £40,000,001.

Agree10 Disagree3

30 Aug 2017 00:26:01
he's not worth that though.

Agree11 Disagree0

30 Aug 2017 01:10:08
They would take it and we would look stupid for paying £40m for AOC.

Agree17 Disagree0

30 Aug 2017 01:11:01
Arsenal deserve that. Problem is they might accept the bid.

Agree8 Disagree2

30 Aug 2017 01:42:01
Do we really need to piss off any more clubs?

Agree16 Disagree4

30 Aug 2017 01:50:08
I think the ox is a better player than people think. He has been played out of position too much at arsenal. I accept he is not a brilliant cm but our midfielders are not so straight forward. They chop and change and attack the wings. He could also play in the front three. I would be happy to see us sign him. I really believe klopp could make a reply good player of him. I mean chelsea, arsenal, liverpool and Gareth Southgate want him.

Agree20 Disagree12

30 Aug 2017 02:15:09
Form is Temporary, Class is permanent. I know this is in all joking, but I would hope the club would never and nor would fans even think about it.

Agree4 Disagree5

30 Aug 2017 02:45:07
Yeah but what if they accept? Ox ain't worth 40 mil😬.

Agree5 Disagree3

30 Aug 2017 03:13:59
I'd just offer 1 dollar and see what Wenger has to say to that. Then OX can go happily to Chelsea knowing he would be a squad player at best at LFC and we can then sign Lemar.

Agree5 Disagree6

30 Aug 2017 05:52:37
Yeah, much rather have lemar. You keep the ox, we'll take lemar. Apparently Lee dixon turns up at the Emirates and is shown zero respect from the players. Some don't even know who he is! Can you imagine us treating carra like that? Never. There is a lack of heart at arsenal, someone said they were stuck in cruise control and I thought that was z good metaphor. I would take sanchez and I've always admired Ramsey. Would be good at Liverpool. I would be happy with the ox but much prefer lemar.

Agree13 Disagree4

30 Aug 2017 06:56:15
Surely Saturday was the litmus test of his ability and it showed a player who simply wasn't at it. Ox isn't worth £40m particularly in the last year of his contract.

Agree8 Disagree6

30 Aug 2017 07:03:54
I'm just happy he's turned down Chelski and prefers a move to us!

Agree10 Disagree4

30 Aug 2017 07:15:49
Id snap him up for 25m. Young, fast, powerful and wants to play for us. he's a bit of a rough diamond imo and Klopps the best polisher in the business.

Agree11 Disagree3

30 Aug 2017 07:25:21
I know people think it is a good joke but 40m for a player in last year of contract, with injury record and not that great a performance record at top level, and only other interested party apparently bud 10m less than that, that isn't funny it is just the kind of dumb screwed up so panic buy the club has done before and shouldn't happen again.

Agree3 Disagree3

30 Aug 2017 08:15:32
I'd take the OX as he wants to play for us but not as a lemar alternative. More as a player who will take over from can/ Milner next year.

Agree3 Disagree1

30 Aug 2017 08:23:16
Spot on, Fresh. Superred, Ox is not better than he is given credit for. His is actually worse than he is given credit for. Check the game on Sunday to see. The guy is not only a poor footballer, he can't even be arsed to work hard for the team, turning his back to the play arguing with Ramsey (another shambolic player who wouldn't hack it at LFC either) while Gomez intercepted the ball and crossed for Firmino to score.

I don't care about his contract situation. When you're on the pitch, you do your best, end of. Mahrez has no issues doing that whereas every man and his dog, knows he wants out but is still giving his best every game. Ox is not good enough for us and would not start ahead of any of our midfielders or wide men and for 40m? They must be having a laugh. Salah cost less than him and is 5 times the player Ox will ever be.

Agree4 Disagree3

30 Aug 2017 08:34:50
We should wait and snap him up for free next year.

Agree3 Disagree0

30 Aug 2017 08:42:26
I'd rather we move heaven and earth to get Can on a new contract than waste money on Ox.

Agree7 Disagree1

30 Aug 2017 08:58:48
40 mil is too much got the ox. Can't see it bring that much.

Agree2 Disagree1

30 Aug 2017 09:58:07
Not often players would prefer playing for us than Man City or Chelsea. VVD And the Ox seems to favour us and it's a good thing.
Maybe it's because of playing time etc but still.

Agree4 Disagree0

30 Aug 2017 10:25:46
I'd say you're right Daniel. Although we have a big squad we probably have a smaller top level to the squad and less likely to keep buying big names the way Chelsea and City do. They might also see it as likely that Klopp will stay so if they sign for him they get a chance. Whereas at a City and Chelsea the players probably don't know if the guy they sign for will be there when they start playing so there is always potential they are surplus before they really get a chance.

Agree3 Disagree0

30 Aug 2017 10:58:02
Sell Can, replace with the Ox.
That would do me.

Agree1 Disagree7

30 Aug 2017 11:12:23
Not Roy Keen on him meself, rather see us get this Lemar fella, he was great in Kajagoogoo. I believe Klopp would make the Ox a better player though.

Agree1 Disagree1

30 Aug 2017 11:16:30
People say Markovic is rough diamond and where's that got him? I'm neither for nor against the signing but at £40m with a year left on his contract is far too much for a squad player.

Agree1 Disagree0

30 Aug 2017 11:54:29
You're the only one who wants Can to leave, Juicer and thank Heavens, to don't run the transfer dealings at LFC.

Agree3 Disagree0

30 Aug 2017 13:00:16
The Juicer, did you actually say sell Can, who is a competent centre midfielder and will be a top class one at that, and replace him with Oxlade Chamberlain who isn't and never will be a top class centre midfielder? Jeez, I have literally heard it all.

Agree1 Disagree1

29 Aug 2017 20:02:03
I've just been in conversation with pal of mine and he said he's been told today the woodburn might be going to Newcastle for a season long loan?

Any of the eds shed any light on this and would Newcastle be the right move for him? I'm not so sure . As I think all the players there are in a no win situation as to the expectancy of the Newcastle fans.

Believable3 Unbelievable5

29 Aug 2017 23:26:55
Wud b a great move too gain confidence an experience hope he does an comes bak better for it.

Agree2 Disagree1

29 Aug 2017 23:33:57
Bit like Liverpool fans then 😆.

Agree2 Disagree2

29 Aug 2017 23:56:09
Newcastle fans aren't expecting jack this year beyond surviving relegation because of their transfer policy. Most of them will direct the majority of their ire at Mike "I haven't talked to the manager since March" Ashley as they struggle this season. Rafa and any player who appears to give a fiddlers will be alright.

As long as he puts a shift in, which he will, there shouldn't be a problem from the fans. The main problem would be Rafa walks in a couple of months time and his replacement doesn't trust a young player loaned in for a relegation battle.

Agree4 Disagree3

30 Aug 2017 01:17:59
I think he's too young to go on loan. and too good forthat matter,

He is that good a prospect that I would have him rotating with Coutinios replacement, for cup games and prem. but not enough for burn out.

He should a full time member of the 1st team squad.

I love watching the lad play, he finds good space nuturally.

Agree4 Disagree0

30 Aug 2017 01:42:54
He needs to go where he's going to play - I'm not sure Newcastle is right for him. Would be great for Origi though. they need him.

Agree2 Disagree1

30 Aug 2017 01:48:35
I'm not so sure it would be a good move for the kid. it's a 1 club city and everything revolves around that club . the fans have been know to knock on players doors before now and demand answers after defeats. I think maybe a Bournemouth side who play some really nice football at times would maybe compliment his game of dare I say Huddersfield under klopps best mate Wagner.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - the fans love Rafa and are 100% behind him. Everything that goes wrong is laid at Ashley's door right now, so the players are very well protected by the fact that any that flop are blamed on Ashley penny pinching.}

30 Aug 2017 01:56:32
Rafa will keep them up. No doubt. I was really looking forward to seeing more of woodburn. As much as I'd like him to stay, if he were to go out on loan Newcastle would be my preference. Rafa will look after him. He would come back a much better player, unless some brute breaks his legs coz he is slight in build. They're all great footballers, it's the ones who can do it with 60.000 watching and millions on TV. A couple more goals like the beauty he scored in pre season and his confidence will soar.

Agree3 Disagree2

31 Aug 2017 00:50:20
He needs to go to a club that plays the same high tempo football.

Huddersfield?

We need 150 mg of Anxicalm for releasing Coutinho, I think our anxiety is so bad now with so many names being fired around the market it wouldn’t surprise me if I needed some respite after all this, might get onto The Brazilian team doc for some magic meds to cure me. Seems to have worked wonders for Coutinho.

By the way

VVD will be announced Thursday not saying where I heard this but it’s very very reliable.

With some of the fans on this site, I reckon a few eds might be wanting to visit a gastroenterologist by the end of the transfer window so they might want his details.

Not yet . so it's in the pipeline then? If so about time he clearly doesn't want to be here . then drive the airport collect the cash and run!

Agree1 Disagree2

29 Aug 2017 23:24:46
I think it depends on the payment and on lemar. If I remember correctly we want 110mil upfront and then want to pay less.

Agree2 Disagree0

30 Aug 2017 01:58:54
Spot on crammie. We can't let him go until we have Tom lemar doing the melwood lean.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2017 03:15:16
Coutinho will not be allowed to leave if Lemar does not sign. We will have one of those two in the squad when the transfer window closes. Personally prefer Lemar as he wants to join us while Coutinho wants out.

Agree2 Disagree0

30 Aug 2017 07:14:06
How do u know lemar wants too definitely join us he ain't put in request or kicked up a fuss I hope so like he great.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - he just wants to leave Monaco and is interested in joining us, rather than he wants to come to us.}

30 Aug 2017 07:27:09
I hope this is sensible business from the club that they will sell PC last thing so that other clubs won't be doubling their prices to raid that money.

Agree2 Disagree0

29 Aug 2017 22:02:51
Coutinho deal agreed, will be completed once Liverpool secure his replacement, obviously Thomas lemar is the primary target.

Believable3 Unbelievable8

Coutinho deal to be worth in the region of 134mg ibuprofen with add-ons of morphine 🤣🤣🤣.

Agree3 Disagree4

29 Aug 2017 23:05:57
The morphine add-on for Lovren everytime his mistake costs a goal! Hopefully should sort that problem!

Agree2 Disagree0

30 Aug 2017 01:41:34
The suspect Packege found at JL Airport apparently contained the following items

A Croat to German dictionary,

A picture of I ♥️ Jurgen,

A training book for centre halfs (unread)

A voodo doll wearing clogs and dressed in orange. pinned.

A large box of mansize tissues.

The police said the package was left in the wrong position, wide open and in departures.

Any guesses?

Agree2 Disagree4

30 Aug 2017 02:03:34
Lovren has a harder job at lcb than matip does at rcb. Thar is because he has to cover for moreno when he goes up the field. Don't get me wrong I love to see moreno and mane breaking the sound barrier. I don't think we should give dejan such a hard time. Our last 9 premiership matches we have kept 7 clean sheets. That is why we are in ucl and if all goes well we could be playing real, juventus and barca. I haven't forgot that goAl in the europa league dejan.

Agree5 Disagree1

30 Aug 2017 02:14:07
I'd rather have lemar than coutinio all day. He is a winner.

Agree2 Disagree0

30 Aug 2017 10:34:23
and what was his excuse all last year when Moreno was dropped?

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2017 21:33:11
Don't get too angry and remember this is a rumours site but I had a message a bit earlier on of a fairly ok source saying Liverpool have scheduled 3 medicals for tomorrow one thought to be vvd the other I'm told is Lamar don't know who the third is can you shed any light on this eds thanks for the hard work and good luck for deadline day madness 😂😂😂.

Believable4 Unbelievable12

I think your source might be re-hashing the same rumour that came out last night mate about 3 medicals booked for today? Thanks for sharing though bud.

Third players is Reina.

Swap deal for Migs. You heard it here first.

The exact same rumour of 3 medicals got posted around this time last night as well. Deja Vu.

Didn't someone post this exact rumour yesterday about today and it wasn't true?

There's 3 for Thursday as well by the way.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2017 06:20:51
Riena rumour was just my wishful thinking. I heard on 5 live that he is moving clubs (not sure if I heard it right? ) Is pep any good these days? We don't have an old keeper now manninger is gone. Maybe pep could fill that role. I was surprised to hear that he is still playing tbh.

Agree1 Disagree1

29 Aug 2017 21:25:12
Evening Ed's

Any news on AOC? Do you expect Liverpool to bid for him? And do you know if he would prefer us rather than Chelsea?

Cheers for the great work and keeping my us updated.

Believable1 Unbelievable3

{Ed025's Note - i cant see where he would fit in Mc so i would be surprised if he were to go to liverpool mate..

29 Aug 2017 21:42:01
My thoughts too. Can't see him wanting to sit on the bench.

Thanks a million 👍.

Agree6 Disagree0

29 Aug 2017 22:15:11
He would prefer the Liverpool move but Liverpool have been told that Arsenal won't sell to us. Worth a shot with a £40m bid though surely. Can play multi positions, quick, good feet. Raw but Klopp moulds players as much as anyone else in the game.

Agree2 Disagree7

29 Aug 2017 22:55:45
40 million for a player that's free next year is fecking madness. realistically worth 15.
It ain't monopoly money pal.

Agree4 Disagree1

29 Aug 2017 23:01:05
Nah No smoke
Reckon £40m and 1😉.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Aug 2017 23:04:59
I cannot understand the obsession with 'the ox' I'd take a punt at ten million, last year of his contract, not really lived up to the hype, regardless of the inflated market he could be yours at the end of the year for free.

Agree5 Disagree1

30 Aug 2017 08:31:48
So people are trying to convince us that Ox at 40m, someone who has scored 9 goals in 170 games is a good signing for LFC. Salah cost less than him and he has scored more than that in one season. So did Mane (cost less), Wiji (also cost less) also scored more than that in one season at Newcastle . Good luck with that, people.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2017 09:09:07
10 mil for a young England international.? Dream in. If he comes he is going to surprise people. He can beat a man and believe it or not, not all players have that ability.

I think it's pretty obvious to anyone who knows about football that it's not the arsenal players ability that is on question, it is their commitment. If he comes I bet he has you out of your seat regularly.

We all agree klopp ix a brilliant manager, right? So why are we doubting his opinion of the ox?

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2017 09:24:34
Ox is only worth our bench. Also, people crying for another striker? After our top front 3 (firmino salah mane) we have solanke, sturridge and origi. I think most clubs would give their souls for that BENCH of strikers.

Lemar and VVD would make this the best transfer market in 20 years.

Klopp is King.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Aug 2017 20:42:43
Hearing we're in for Thomas Muller.

Clinical, proven forward at the elite level.

Fingers crossed, roll on Thursday.

I get a feeling origi could be on his way out and can sturridge stay fit and if coutinho does depart that leaves us with solanke.

a few months ago there was rumours that we were interested in keita--salah-- Robertson oh yeah we've signed them.

Agree4 Disagree1

{Ed025's Note - the first one aint coming for a year so anything could happen, the second an average winger who could not get in the chelsea squad and rejected you earlier, the third is robertson of hull...enough said..

29 Aug 2017 22:06:07
I don't know Flan. What is the world coming to! Eds do something about all these rumours on liverpoolrumours. co. uk.

Agree2 Disagree0

29 Aug 2017 22:12:02
Muller won't leave bayern. When asked if he would ever play in England he said "if I was 5 ft and unable to trap the ball" that was a year ago though. If it's three players, and that is true, I think it's obvious who is coming.

VVD
Renato Sanches
And Lemar.

Going for Sanches makes me think Can might go. We don't wanna miss out on £35.000.000. Can't let a player of that quality go for free.

Sanches is Can replacement (gutted)
Lemar is PC replacement (sweet)
VVD is the player we really need.

I really rate Can, would hate to play against him if he is on form. He seems a bit negative about LFC

I'm chuffed Sanches is linked as I think he is a bit like Can, was great for portugal.

Agree3 Disagree4

29 Aug 2017 22:12:13
This is the sort of rumour I miss. Back in the day we used to have all sorts of mad ones all the time. Aguero signed for us about 6 times I recall.

Agree3 Disagree2

29 Aug 2017 22:12:20
Strange player, just seems to have a knack of scoring - would fit the system too - can't not be interested with his record. Could play just behind or ahead of firmino, although I'd worry they'd both drop into similar spaces to pick up the ball. With the fact we don't have a ten with no coutinho or lallana, might make sense. 4-3-3 in big games like the Arsenal lineup and play a striker in the games where we struggle. Origi would have to go though.

Agree1 Disagree1

29 Aug 2017 22:21:24
Ed025 - Salah an average winger who would walk into your side and be the best player.

29 Aug 2017 23:03:21
I really like your logic in completely shooting down our incoming signings ed25. If you want to start judging transfers based on reputation and past clubs then "Robertson of Hull" doesn't sound so bad in comparison to something like "Coleman of Sligo Rovers" now does it?

Also, Lukaku and De Bruyne were not deemed good enough for chelsea either but they didn't turn out half bad did they.

Come on! I thought someone who supports a club who can't attract the big rep players and rely on taking deadwood from other clubs and gambling on players of lower reputation should know this.

He is better than pc and a third of the price. So what if Robertson played for hull? Young lad, playing in the premiership. He looks good. You can't deny that.

For balance, I do like the look of Everton buy I think it's going to take a while for all the new faces to settle and for the team to gel. Got a good chance of europa league. Next year however I reckon they could get near that top four. I really like siggurson ed.

Eds can u give a brief lesson how a transfer happens! Like do a club just notify the other. Club and say we will give u 5m for him etc how does it go?

Believable2 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - The process should be along the lines of: Clubs will typically informally ask an agent (a) if the player is going to be available, and (b) would the player consider a move to the club. There may be some broad discussion on the sort of deal that would be offered but no more than that. If the answer is yes, it is then necessary for the club to approach the player's club to ask if they would be willing to sell and if they would grant permission to speak to a player's agent formally about a transfer and possibly even the player about actually making a move. This will typically involve either broadly (through an offer) or actually agreeing a fee and responsibility for any significant costs (agents fees etc.). Once this has happened the club will be able to speak to the player's agent and perhaps the player himself to look at the package that will be involved. Many players are looked at and discussed at a high-level with agents and clubs; a subset of those have an offer placed; a subset of those involve discussions with the player's club; a subset of those involve discussions over terms, and; a subset of those go ahead.

Agents will often try and get more specific details of wages and other financials before they should - but most clubs are happy to follow this process. Players will often talk to other players about moves but, whilst wrong, is tolerated as it would be impossible to manage.}

Very interesting ed02. I was thinking, swaps are quite rare, is that because the agent doesn't get as much money as the deal is one of little money and swap of players?

I have no idea how it all works dude.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed002. I know that's how transfers generally work and you've explained it brilliantly. the thing is (And this is not trying to defend anyone's actions or condem or have a go even ) . That's basically tapping up. hear me out.
A player is having a great season is happy and enjoying his football . The transfer window is approaching and let's say real Madrid approach said players agent to ask is he available to which the agent will reply I don't know but I'll find out and the club ask is he interested in the move. To which the agent will say I'll ask him and what player in the right mind would want to turn real down. so them actions are actually turning a players head. which is illegal . the first point of call is meant to be to the club's direct to see about availability then given or denied permission to contact said player. but in today's world where image is everything clubs can't afford to be getting knocked back by players hence why the contact the agent to see if he's up for moving .

When all's said and done that's part of a tapping up process in the sense turning a players head . don't get me wrong there is different levels of turning heads and tapping up but it's still wrong.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - No, that is simply business as usual.}

29 Aug 2017 21:36:55

If it results in VVD and Lemar and we get the best price possible for a player who not only doesn't want to play for us but has been agitating for a move for over a year then it's fine. The club will be there on 1/ 9/ 17 Coutinho or not.

If it's true the figure is staggering for a player who is potential rather than the finished article.

He may eventually get into the bracket of Messi and Suarez eventually but he isn't there yet.

Plus by ed001's comments Klopp has let him go due to his behaviour, don't want a bad egg around the club so unfortunately we let him go.

Thanks for the memories Pipco.

Red Phil, do you think we are splashing all this cash (£145.000.000) because we know we are getting loads of the neymar money. Because Phil is off.

I'm so torn about pc. One minute I want him to go and get it over with. He doesn't want to play for us. Saying he us injured when actually he is in perfect condition for Brazil game.

The next minute I just want us to stand firm and we know pc will have to play well because of world cup.

What worries me is the effect pc will be having on the rest of the team. Will mane, firmino have their heads turned.

Red Phil, I hope I didn't come across rude in that post. It was a genuine question. Interested in your view. Of course I'd like Phil to put his boots on for us again but we seem to be offering a lot of cash for players atm, and to me it seems like we are spending cout's money.

Chap called Martin Goodman from WBA has contacted the club and said they will match Palace's offer but would do a single payment. Palace want to do some now and some later. Club are hoping that Palace raise to £28m and will then get WBA to match.

Club wants the cash upfront to fuel some aquisitions etc, hence my earlier statement that selling Coutinho isn't the only way the club can bank roll the movements.

Sahko certainly is worth £28.000.000. If vvd is 75 mil and John stones is 50;mil, then 28 for sahko is a bargain. I think it is such a shame what has gone on behind the scene. I quite like him. I would go as far to say that he is the best cb at the club.

Lallana is brilliant. For liverpool AND England. I cannot comprehend how anyone could call him mediocre? Mediocre is . I dunno Tom huddlestone. Ads was involved in nearly every goal we scored in the first half of the season. Ya know when we were just blowing everyone away znd doing well against the big teams. The only team in the top 6 who had zny idea how to play against Liverpool was jose's united. He didn't come to play. If you try to play football with us we fill beat you. Simple. Anyone. Bayern Munich (one of the very best teams on the planet) got brushed aside with ease, in their own back yard. Ads was fantastic in that game.

Sorry. I went too far as usual.
I shouldn't have said he was one of the best players to wear the shirt.
I do think though, after a couple years at Barcelona I think he will be rated as the best player in the world.

King Kenny is the best player to ever wear the shirt imo. That was before my time. I'm 36. Fowler and mcmanaman was my era. When I was playing Sunday league football (got top goal scorer one season 22) our manager used to play for Preston. Owen czme along and he was my fave player.

Hi Eds,

Sakho, Flannagan, Kent, Wilson, Markovic, Allan and Origi could all be leaving us either on loan/ permanent basis.

Do you have any updates on their potential destinations/ fees?

Believable3 Unbelievable1

{Ed001's Note - Sakho looks likely to replace Jonny Evans at WBA on a permanent move. Flanno looks set to stay right now, though offers will be listened to. Kent looks set to stay, though it really depends as a good loan offer for him would be accepted. Wilson might well leave on a permanent to Celtic, though I am not sure if that was just their backup plan if Roberts didn't return. Markovic is available but so far no takers, though Watford and Hull are both interested, both wanted loans while we want a sale. Allan I have no idea about, without a work permit we are unable to do anything with him so will probably just have to offload him. Origi is probably going to leave on loan.}

{Ed001's Note - hey, I am not Coutinho, I don't do strikes!}

29 Aug 2017 13:06:08
I think Wilson and celtic are a very good fit. I'm amazed that none of the newly promoted clubs have taken Kent for a season. The lad ripped that bayern Munich defence apart in pre season. I'd be very happy for Kent to stay but also think the experience of playing regularly, in front of big crowds, at say Brighton, would be invaluble. I Think he would do well at Bournemouth personally. Are liverpool still asking £25.000.000+ for Markovic? If so that is ridiculous. I do believe, however, that Markovic has a future in the premier league. He was pretty good for hull. Crystal palace could do with the technical skill of him as they don't have enough skillful players to join their midfield to attack. If I were de boer I'd take Kent and markovic.
