Liverpool related transfer speculation

[Squiggles]

I'm all for Rodrygo - he's class, but he's got to want to be here. Most players, Brazilian especially will see signing for Madrid as the pinnacle of their career and being sold in peak years is some level of failure. That's my only doubt with him.

If one of Rodrygo or Isak arrives then I'll be made up. After those two there's a degree of indifference to all other targets.

I think we're effectively saying to Newcastle, sell us Isak or we'll gazump you for Ekitike. Both is just greedy.

 

[IGotALuvlyBunchOfCoconuts]

I would fookin love it if we signed Isak.

 

[Hyena]

STOP IT GUYS

We are NOT repeat NOT playing with a front four of Rodrygo--Wirtz--Isak--Salah. It is ILLEGAL and IMMORAL. We are Liverpool we don't do these things. We can't.

 

[Fabio]

Not really. Rodrygo with more goals and assists. 39 G/A in 64 CL games is impressive.

In CL there's no doubt rodrygo is king. But if you consider that rodrygo has been playing for one of the best teams in the world for the last 5 years, and Gordon hasn't; their stats aren't dramatically different (if we compare season by season).

 

[Fabio]

But we DEFO won't go for Gordon, as that's gone so fucking quiet, and if we go for Isak the. There's no chance


Rodrygo and Isak however....even rodrygo and Ekitike....

 

[Hansern]

I fucking love that we are showing this kind of ambition.

 

[Hansern]

If we sign Isak then it can also be Fofana

Could come true, now off to pick my Euro Million numbers

Agreed if we’re signing Isak then Gordon is a definite no…

 

[Fabio]

I think Gordon's a no regardless tbh.

 

[Hyena]

Agreed if we’re signing Isak then Gordon is a definite no…

Isak AND Gordon? Well for someone named Buddha you're a fking greedy..

 

[Buddha]

Isak AND Gordon? Well for someone named Buddha you're a fking greedy..

Of course I’m not attached to the outcome…

 

[KopRed]

We are alarmingly short upfront all of a sudden. Nunez will leave for sure. Diaz is not exactly a striker. If we start Diaz upfront next season it will be 1 step forward and 2 steps back.

So if Diaz and Nunez are to leave, we will need 2 forwards at the bare minimum. It's a tall order at this point and other clubs will know we are desperate.

 

[Beamrider]

That's ambiguous, David. We have made bid but the club says "no bid made"

I think what we're basically saying is "we're going to speak to him / his agent to try to turn his head unless you kick off and threaten to report us". This is how it's done. This is why we got into trouble over Virgil with Southampton as Michael Edwards, who was new to the game then, didn't know / follow the etiquette and didn't make this call.
If this is true, you can expect stories to follow about Isak agreeing terms and wanting the move, it's up to Newcastle, in the next few days.

 

[singlerider]

I'd rather lose Konate for free next season than get even £40million now, yeh a year left, but practically it's a pretty poultry sum for the quality of defender he is.

It would be a fowl mistake for sure

Exclusive: Liverpool to rival Newcastle for Ekitike after Isak not for sale
Exclusive by Sky Sports News' Lyall Thomas and Keith Downie:

Liverpool are expected to rival Newcastle for Hugo Ekitike after being told Alexander Isak is not for sale in this window.

The Premier League champions have always been interested in Isak, but it is understood Newcastle have no interest in selling him and value him at least at £150m.

Liverpool also have an interest in Ekitike, who Newcastle have had a bid rejected for in the last 24 hours, and are set to turn their attentions to the Eintracht Frankfurt forward.

is that shit?

 

[Fabio]

is that shit?

They'll want 120 up front and 20m of achievable add one

 

[bluebell]

Only non-jinxy people can do that... So that rules out me and @Dreambeliever Normally its @Modo @rurikbird or @Hansern

 

[Markeh]

Well then it wont happen.

Currently I havnt even got my cock out.

Absolute non starter

it better be called isakly what we need

 

[Fabio]

I’m ok with that

I'm not massively. It's a terrifyingly large fee

 

[Markeh]

I'm not massively. It's a terrifyingly large fee

yea it’s a dangerous amount of money, so was wirtz i suppose

 

[Buddha]

I'm not massively. It's a terrifyingly large fee

I see it as 120m…any add ons mean that we’ve bought well…I think he’s the most complete striker out there…in which case 120m is value enough.

He’d also surely dovetail perfectly with Wirtz and Salah?

 

[Holle]

Well then it wont happen.

Currently I havnt even got my cock out.

Absolute non starter

Just leave it where it is FFS.

The last time it saw daylight we signed Keita if I remember correctly.
