I don't want to get my hopes up, but it really sounds like we have a good shot of getting Teixeira. Is there a better goal scorer available right now?
He's very good but let's not start with these types of comments.
Had I asked yesterday who the best available goalscorer is, Teixera would not have been mentioned.
It's not a ridiculous comment if you are just talking about players available to Liverpool. He definitely seems to have a very good knack for scoring.
So the details of Bale's transfer to Madrid have been linked and he is set (very likely will) to cost more than Ronaldo. Madrid also reportedly forbade Spurs from disclosing any financials from the deal. A reporter has also come out and said he was told not to write about the Bale fee. According to him it's because someone would get upset.
He's probably the best they can do without paying 45 million pounds.
I personally prefer Lacazette but he might be more expensive than Teixera.http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/eng/liverpool-hoping-to-secure-deal-for-alex-teixeira-the-situation/
Who is available that is better in general? I'm not even confident at all that he'll come to Liverpool, but this is a really nice target and the type of player we need to be going after even if it doesn't come to fruition this time.
Lacazette is a very good dribbler and more of a striker than Teixera. He can run behind the defense and he is a very clinical finisher. I feel Teixera is playing more like a 10 even though he seems to score in bunches.Why do you prefer Lacazette?
Also lots of places reporting that Liverpool are willing to increase their bid and that Teixeira is keen on moving to Anfield (his dream is the play in the PL, apparently).
Must not get too hopeful. Temper expectations as well because he almost certainly won't maintain his scoring record...at least not right away. Unless he pulls a Costa.
Continuing the Xhaka talks, he isn't just rumoured to Arsenal, almost every top 5-7 domestic football league has Xhaka going to one of the top teams. I've seen him linked with Sparta Moskov, Zenit, Juventus, Valcenia, Atletico, and Arsenal.lol what transfer?
