Summer Silly Season 2016

[Rosco]

Amazing (and heartening) that we're fourth on that list. No doubt the Klopp factor has a lot to do with that, but who gives a flying one what the reason is? Our job now is to capitalise on our opportunity, in a way we've failed to do for the past quarter of a century.

Yeah but some club nobody has ever heard of is twice as popular.

Andere, Keine Angaben - What do those words mean?

In 2004 the pulling power of our manager landed us Alonso. Any danger of a similar success this time round?

Were we ever in for Xhaka?

Well, I am not sure we would have landed Alonso if we were not in the CL? Especially if we had continuously finished 6-8?

I do think Klopp has pulling power (new CB) but as Gotze incident has shown, unless we get finishing in CL places continuously, it wont help that much.

Le Parisien reporting that PSG will bid 20 mill for Kanté and pay his release clause.

Andere, Keine Angaben - What do those words mean?

Andere is other and is the same in Dutch . Don't know for the other one. It's probably no preference.

 

[cloggypop]

Google says not specified.

 

[Mojo]

Keine Angaben = No answer

 

[Judge Jules]

No, that would be "keine Antwort". Cloggy's Google quote is pretty close. A more literal translation would be "no details".

 

[peekay]

Cheers everyone

 

[Mojo]

No, that would be "keine Antwort". Cloggy's Google quote is pretty close. A more literal translation would be "no details".

You're correct.
Angaben can mean data / information / details, so your literal translation is pretty much spot on.

 

[Hyena]

It's a bit shit that Google can't provide any answers, or details.

This is sort of silly season, because it's Jon Moss. He's come on as ref for the second half of that unicef charty game and promptly sent someone off, much to the visible anger of the organisers! That bloke is one of the biggest tools out there.

 

[cloggypop]

War, war is stupid
And people are stupid

 

[gkmacca]

He's now booked Carra, probably for telling him he's a tool.

 

[Holle]

You're correct.
Angaben can mean data / information / details, so your literal translation is pretty much spot on.

No, it's not, I'm afraid.

It means that the asked player didn't answer the question.

 

[cloggypop]

Fucking Kieran Gibbs.

This is exactly why I want players I've never heard of.

"Liverpool face competition for Ajax's leggy winger Anwar El Ghazi says Gianluca Di Marzio.
The Italian transfer news hound reckons Crystal Palace and recently-relegated Aston Villa are also interested in the 21-year-old Dutch international."

 

[cloggypop]

Nothing over here about El Ghazi.

Di Marzio is usually full of shite like.

 

[Comical Aly]

Nothing over here about El Ghazi.

Di Marzio is usually full of shite like.

Probably a good thing not to be competing with the likes of Villa and Palace.

 

[gkmacca]

"Liverpool face competition for Ajax's leggy winger Anwar El Ghazi "

So long as he's got two leggies, it's fine by me.

 

[manwithnoname]

Does "leggy" still mean "tall"?

 

[cloggypop]

Probably a good thing not to be competing with the likes of Villa and Palace.

Last I heard, Barca and Milan were interested.

 

[Judge Jules]

No, it's not, I'm afraid.

It means that the asked player didn't answer the question.

Yes, with respect it is. I did say "literal translation", i.e.I didn't have the context (still don't actually).

Wasn't it Ben Shepherd? In fairness he has form for getting nasty in games like this. Perhaps it's he who should have known better.

Celtic were locked in talks with #LFC last night over a £3million move for Andre Wisdom. (Scottish Daily Mail)

Decent fee for him that

 

[737Max]

Hell yeah, maybe Brendan's way of redemption

One does not get "locked in talks" over a £3 mill.deal for an unwanted loanee. Newspapers, eh?

That would be a decent fee though, and a decent move for Wisdom. I had hopes for him at one stage. Best of luck to him.

 

[gkmacca]

He got booked by Howard Webb for clattering Edgar Davids, which was very funny (especially because of the naked terror in Shepherd's eyes once he realised that Davids would now pursue him all over the pitch). Then Moss became ref in the second half and, even though he'd been told who'd been booked in the first half, as soon as Shepherd made the most innocuous foul (it probably wasn't even a foul at all) Moss whipped the yellow and red cards out with his usual flared-nostrilled, high-lidded, quasi-Nazi Mr Authority pose. It was hilariously stupid, and Carra was raging at him about it for the rest of the match. In fact I was surprised Moss didn't send HIM off as well! Moss and Lee Mason - they'd make a good pair of novelty bookends for people who can't read!
