Summer transfer window 2017 - let's start the money rolling

[Credor]

Nice. Two down. Left VVD to complete the list.

 

Lemar deal still not dead.

 

Deadline day to spend £150m

[TangoElite]

Meaning VVD 's chance of moving to Pool is there?

Was a bit worrying because didnt heard any more of the news that nego was going now. 

 

i really hope so

 

I think no news is good, because we have to thread very carefully now and talk directly and privately to Soton management given how it panned out initially. We don't want to piss them off again. So more media involved in VVD updates.

 

Unlike Keita, AOC, Lemar, where LFC can feed the trusted journalists with updates.

VVD is always happening bro. The fact that we did not move on to alternative shows that We are confident to get this over the line. Just that we can't dictate the pace, Southampton does.

 

Deadline day 2 mega signings. I am confident.

I thought it was Ox OR Lemar n not both? Seems abit extra if both comes? Always good to have more players but in WC year, u got to be mindful of unhappy players as it can disrupt team moral

Coutinho leaving. The way Pool is playing, the midfield is key. Expecting lots of rotation.

 

Lemar and Ox can both cover a few positions in the front 5.

Liverpool loan fee for Origi is £6m plus wages. Wolfsburg prepared to pay.

 

[Paul Joyce]

 

Looks like he is not part of the deal to Monaco.

 

Also hearing Pool getting an "old" striker on loan. Muller being mentioned to be the one.

Thomas Muller or Gerd Muller?

[Osprey23]

There is one long term target that Wenger can try for (hopefully already in motion). Draxler. I strongly believe there is a chance that PSG will let him go at a right price.

 

Selling Ox and Sanchez definitely enough to get him

Thomas Muller or Gerd Muller?

Thomas Mulller.

 

This one got whisper few days back. Getting stronger but will be just a loan if it happens

[Hamburger]

if all midfield targets are in, who in mind would be benched?

 

Gini,hendo or Can?

This one got some leg n I'm reading Draxler is possible for Gunners n he was a target before he went to PSG. He was the German captain at the Confederations Cup n is a good player. He might take awhile to adjust to EPL as with all foreign players but he's young, quick n Arsenal don't really have a pure winger as Walcott fancies himself more central so good buy IMO

Gerd Müller has retired liao leh. and he is suffering from Alzheimer's disease.     

 

the younger Muller plays well for both club and country, but he was dropped from the starting 11 recently. he's probably unhappy with the situation. a fresh challenge in a new club might be what it needs to see him back to his best.

 

i know Reus is currently injured. is he a long term target as well? a intelligent and very skillful player, although he is easily injured.

Gini,hendo or Can?

This one let Klopp decides

 

As said, i expect a lot of rotation. Challenge is to make sure all of them are ready when called upon.

If Reus cannot tahan Bundesliga, he probably won't survive EPL. Klopp I don't think want him to suffer here.

[Osprey23]

Hearing Southampton will receive £8-10m from sell-on clause as part of Liverpool deal for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from Arsenal

 

See, how on earth can Southampton hate us? We try all means and ways to pump money to them!!

Frankly, unless move already sets in motion, or else no chance for this deal to happen. Not enough time.

[TangoElite]

Gini,hendo or Can?

 

We can easily field 2 first eleven teams if all our targets arrive, both teams all quality players except for GK

 

And also have spares for a third team, Coutinho can park in this spare team for all i care

 

 

Team A1

 

Mignolet

Clyne-Matip-VVD-Robertson

Can-Henderson-Gini

Salah-Mane

Firmino

 

Team A2

 

Ward

Gomez-Klavan-Lovern-Moreno

AOC-Milner-Grujic

Lemar-Lallana

Sturridge

 

 

Team B (spare)

 

Karius

 

TAA-Sakho- Centre Back?? -Flanagan

Ejaria-Markovic-Kent

Coutinho-Woodburn

Solanke-or Ings

Nice combo but I believe there will be a strongest XI and tweaks here and there for rotation and injuries.

 

Let's start at the back.

 

Migs will remain as No.1 and top CB pairing will be VVD-Matip. The fullbacks I believe will depend on opponents - how they set up and who are the wide players. RB if we want offensive - TAA, defensive - Clyne. LB offensive - Moreno, defensive - Robertson.

 

Holding mid, i will have Can. Sorry but Hendo is still not press resistant and his passing is still very caution. Only thing he does well is switching play which is the easiest task to do in his position.

 

The other two CM, i will see what opponents I am facing. Against park bus, I will have Gini and Lemar. Against open play opponents, Lallana and/or Ox can be considered if we want to press like hell.

 

Front three pick for themselves. Won't change them unless due to injury or fatigue. Lemar and Ox can play there but no Lallana. He slows down play too much when he is up top. Stick to midfield for better use of his energy.

Arsenal scrambling to complete Julian Draxler transfer — and won't sell Alexis Sanchez to Manchester City without it

 

Hope I am wrong but this piece from John Cross sounds like one that says, look, we have tried

[Osprey23]

Expected departures on deadline day for Pool:

 

Sakho, Markovic, Origi, Ings, Kent.
