Liverpool Rumours Archive March 08 2016

I've seen several rumours lately about the young speedy spaniard Sergio Gomez I was wondering how accurate these rumours are as I have seen him play once or twice and believe he will be a meta signing.

{Ed002's Note - He is 15 years old, I would not start worrying about him forcing himself in to the first team at Liverpool for a few years.}

Really zoom have u seen him play he's Only 15 I'm interested in which games You've seen him play in.

09 Mar 2016 09:15:58
ive seen him play on at the youtube stadium. he only played for 4:41 lazy git but what i seen of him he is brilliant and has a very very good future ahead of him.

09 Mar 2016 10:46:58
Didn't messi make his Barcelona debut when he was 17! Haha.

09 Mar 2016 13:57:33
So even if he was on par with the greatest player ever natural, he still has two years.

Saurez back at melwood today.

Make us dream. Could it be real this time? Klopp factor.

09 Mar 2016 05:52:06
Seriously dude Leekuanyew?

HI Eds I wondered are these reports regarding Begovic and Subatic true.
They suggest that we have tabled bids of £7.5m and £4.2m respectively. If this turns out to be true we could have done some smashing deals there.
Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of such offers.}

08 Mar 2016 06:10:52
£7.5m is a lot for someone who has sat on his backside for 70% of the season, which would have been more if Courtois hadn't been injured.
I have to question Beegovic as he chose Chelsea, knowing he would always be 2nd choice! Fraser Forster would be a better choice for me, and its about time we took one of Southampton's decent players.

{Ed001's Note - Forster? Have you not watched him play? Flapper who lets in soft shots on a regular basis. Another one who has benefited from the way Saints play, rather than adding to it. Please no, would rather have Hart and I really do not want Hart.}

08 Mar 2016 07:57:00
Hi ed, u do want hart. He is the gk of mancity the defending champion. I am sure he is not the best but he is definitely up there among the best. Alao he is England gk.

{Ed001's Note - he is average and city want to replace him. I do not want him because I watch him play instead of spending my time trolling our players.}

08 Mar 2016 09:00:59
I wouldn't go for either of Forster or Begovic, Forster simply isn't good enough and again, why would we want a bloke who has turned down the opportunity to be our number one in the past but happily signed up to be number two at Chelsea? Notwithstanding that fact that he isn't actually that great, he is a bog standard premier league keeper nothing more than that. We should go for Leno, Ter Stegen, Karius or Butland as they are best young keepers out there by a mile.

08 Mar 2016 09:48:25
Mr Dennis, I would agree with you on Leno, and maybe Ter Stegen although I don't think we can afford him.
Ed 001- You stated to another poster not more than 5-6 weeks ago that you thought Forster was a decent keeper? I have watched him, and for me he is better than Hart and definitely an improvement on Migs.

{Ed001's Note - when? I have never said he was decent. I have always said he was poor, ask Ed007, I told him when Celtic signed him, initially on loan, that they were sold a pup. I can also remember how they only bought him because they could not find anyone else who would consider signing for them so got stuck with Forster as a last resort signing. The guy flaps, always has, always will. Somebody even pointed out on the Celtic site just the other day how I had been right about him all along, and said they hadn't realised how bad he was until they watched him for Saints.}

08 Mar 2016 09:49:04
Hi eds, you have been speaking about hart, begovic and forster not being good enough? i agree with hart and begovic and forster i haven't seen much in matches all i see is stats, but then again by stats migs was top of the pile last year. In your opinion who is a good enough keeper to stand for LFC to emulate hughes, clemence and the like?

{Ed001's Note - well I wouldn't want them to emulate Hughes, I hear he was crap between the sticks was Emlyn! I would look to Leno or possibly Zieler personally. Zieler should be able to adapt quickly, which is a plus.}

08 Mar 2016 14:12:06
And if my Football Manager memory is correct Ron-Rob is classed as a home grown player due to his time at Man U. Though I think the rules might be changing on that.

08 Mar 2016 14:15:25
Any love for Yann Sommer Ed? Must admit I haven't seen a lot of him but when I have done he has looked class.

{Ed001's Note - I can't say I ever remember seeing him play to be honest.}

08 Mar 2016 13:28:04
I agree about Zeiler. I said that a season or two ago. Sommer would be another good call in my opinion.

08 Mar 2016 17:11:37
I'd add Karius of Mainz and Horn of Koln to that list as well. Both solid young goalkeepers. I've watched a lot of Bundesliga the last few seasons and they'd be better options then Leno. Leno is a bit like Hart. He has great agility and makes wonder saves but he makes a hell of a lot of mistakes and his distribution is as bad as Harts too.

{Ed001's Note - I will bow to your greater knowledge, I have only watched odd bits of the Bundesliga.}

08 Mar 2016 17:50:55
Class from Ed001.

08 Mar 2016 19:12:36
we used to produce good keepers in the uk its been a while since we have had a truly great english keeper germany seems to be the place to go for a good keeper these days.

09 Mar 2016 00:31:43
Well i just presumed that when you said you hadnt seen yann sommer play, so i guessed you hadnt seen all lenos mistakes over the past couple of seasons too.

{Ed001's Note - everytime I have seen him he has been very good, but I have only seen him infrequently.}

09 Mar 2016 03:18:33
I have a feeling we'll see a young and very good Bundesliga GK move here in the summer, but like Caulker, it may come out of left field. Won't be a Begovic.

Nor, do I think, Subotic is someone Klopp will target. Too old and likely expensive for what he brings at this stage.

Next season, we'll have Matip, Lovren, Sakho, Gomez, Skrtel, as CBs, with Lucas as a possible sub-in as well. I think Matip was our key CB acquisition.

09 Mar 2016 10:26:50
Joe Hart has the incredible ability of making himself look like he is playing at ten-times Gravity.

10 Mar 2016 01:11:42
Forster is aweful and has let in silly goals and can't deal with crosses. Go watch the last two games where he gave up three of the four he conceded as GK errors. The guy is worse than Mingo. As for Hart, he is average as well. We need a De Gea type GK and no more nearly men.
