Liverpool Rumours Archive July 27 2018

Fair play to Michael Edwards for apparently convincing Crystal Palace to part ways with £25m for Danny Ings. That's some recoup of fees etc right there, and it'll go nicely towards the Fekir deal (I hope) . Add that to Mignolet off to Beskitas for £12m and potentially Origi and Ojo.

I think Ings will do well there if he stays fit, gutted it didn't work out for him at Liverpool, I had high hopes for him but the lad was just unlucky! always kept his head though and was professional throughout, he'll always have my respect. If the deal goes through good luck Ings!

28 jul 2018 01:51:11
well said salah, ings is a true professional and deserves things to go his way for a while.

28 Jul 2018 05:45:25
Unfortunately I can only give one thumbs up for that comment.
Honestly thought that Ings had klopp player written all over him. Hope he does well, wherever he goes. YNWA Danny.

28 Jul 2018 07:28:34
Absolutely gutted for Ings, really wanted him to come good for us but he's never going to get truly match fit unless he plays full games and Bobby F has that position nailed on at the minute - hope he does well for Palace if that's where he ends up and that's an eye watering sum of money (if true) considering the bad injuries and lack of playing time he's had!

28 Jul 2018 09:25:44
I'd echo the sentiments on Ings.

The situation does show the importance of a good rehab set-up too. It pays for itself and more, in the end.
The player gets 5% (I think) of the transfer fee and the club may get a decent price on the lad, especially considering his injury record.

It looks like a good outcome all round, really.

28 Jul 2018 09:50:32
From day one I thought he was an ideal Klopp player.
Decent finisher and closes down from the front relentlessly.
In all honesty I don't think he is up to the standard we now need, which is testament to how far Klopp has brought the team in just a couple of years.
Still think he would be ideal off the bench but can see him doing well and gettkng back in the England set up somewhere else.
Bobby has CF nailed for us, and I think Klopp would then go to Salah before Ings if Bobby was injured.
Decent money to recoup after some big signings.

On a slightly different note, how good is it that Klopp gets his business done early. No messing around towards the end of August like under Brodge.

28 Jul 2018 12:11:46
Andy, agree totally.

I would say though that Edwards and the team should take the majority of the credit in my view for the expediency of the business. They have been fantastic at bringing the preferred players in and moving on players no longer needed (for decent sums rather than pittance as before! )

28 Jul 2018 12:38:59
A good deal for both parties Ings needs to be playing regularly and that won’t happen at Liverpool but it’s a shame it never quite worked out for him. Has there been any confirmation on a bid at all.

28 Jul 2018 17:16:37
I agree with most LFC fans that Ings is a grafter and has had nothing but bad luck, however as a ST holder who goes home and away to every game, he and others like, Shei Ojo and Ben Woodburn just aren't regularly taking their chances in front of goal that will force their way into the first team. It does just go to prove how technically gifted our front three are in comparison. We are so lucky to have Bobby, Mo and Sadio.

Best of luck Danny. Hope you get a break elsewhere.

What's having a season ticket got to do with it.

27 Jul 2018 15:17:55
Besiktas in for Mignolet according to Sky. No secret he will be sold if a buyer can be found. Any of the Ed’s aware of an approach? Thanks in advance.

{Ed002's Note - Yes.}

27 Jul 2018 15:21:27
Good, hope he finds a new club and is happy there.

27 Jul 2018 15:30:38
Thank you Ed002 :)

27 Jul 2018 15:36:37
We seem to have a lot of links to Turkish clubs when it comes to potential sales - is it just a coincidence or do we have links there?

Thank you.

{Ed002's Note - They will be searching for loans from the English sides who over price players. Besiktas have also spoken with Everton, Arsenal and Swansea; Fenerbahce has spoken with Stoke, Everton, Chelsea (about four players), Liverpool (about two players) and Swansea; Galatasaray has spoken with Manchester City, Chelsea, Swansea, Leicester and Everton; Trabzonspor has spoken with both Liverpool and Chelsea. It is the way it is.}

27 Jul 2018 15:53:44
Thanks Ed. That was my first post after following these pages for years so I appreciate your insightful response.

27 Jul 2018 16:30:21
The Turkish league seems to be a bargain bin for failed Prem players.
Good luck to Migs though.

27 Jul 2018 17:42:30
But do they want a loan or permanent?

27 Jul 2018 17:52:37
Swap with Vida?

27 Jul 2018 18:42:59
Yeah good luck to him, it never worked out here at Liverpool because he wasn't good enough but he'll probably do alright in Turkey!

27 Jul 2018 19:54:11
He just reached a level he never improved from. Never truly thought he was good enough for us but wish him
well.

27 Jul 2018 20:48:37
His flaws have been made obvious, but let’s not forget that he also did many good things in his time with us, from his debut penalty save to his form which played a part in us getting back into the CL two years back. He always tried his best, shame he couldn’t kick on and we should wish him well.

28 Jul 2018 01:14:24
Yep I'm actually a little sad Migs never managed to bring his all around game to the required level, I will always remember some stunning saves he made, and I think I recall 5 or 6 peno saves, probably more? Not sure but maybe some were pre-season, anyone got his stats handy?

28 Jul 2018 14:56:46
Simon Mignolet: Has saved more penalties (6) than any other goalkeeper since the start of the 2014/ 15 Premier League season.

27 Jul 2018 07:20:07
ED's is there much truth in the rumours of de ligt?

{Ed001's Note - we have certainly had him watched on a number of occasions.}

27 Jul 2018 09:06:42
Ed you tease! I’d be surprised personally but very happy.

{Ed002's Note - Matthijs de Ligt will not be moving to Liverpool.}

27 Jul 2018 10:40:08
I didn’t say he would Ed2. Hence why I said I’d be surprised.

27 Jul 2018 18:02:20
More chance of signing his Spanish Cousin Angel. 😉.

28 Jul 2018 07:00:34
Cheers ED's keep up the good work.
