2016 Summer Transfer Discussion Part V - Deadline Edition

[cgf]

One of the more overrated players for me, I don't think Meyer will ever be more than "good".

He hasn't progressed enough since hitting the Schalke senior squad but the kid was magnificent coming up the youth ranks. Technical, creative, and a spectacular nose for goal; Meyer really had it all in a way other smurfs that came before him, like Gotze and Younes, just didn't.

I still think he's a forward, not a 10, but either way he has not been helped by the way Schalke's possessions have been structured.

 

[Jeffrey]

Meyer is technically very good. He needs to push his skills to the next level but he is still young and figuring it out.

 

[Fro]

glad to not pay 30m for Sissiko, but Everton is getting better today IMO...

Good thing we played them once already

 

[Evilo]

Sakho apparently refuses to leave. Don't know what to make of that. If the manager is telling him to go leave for a year to prove his professionalism and fitness, then he doesn't leave, what the hell does that mean?

Well, that the manager's decision was hilariously ridiculous...

That he will have to train very hard, play good for the reserve team and be professional to play for Liverpool again?

... and that a grown up would actually do this...

 

[McOilbleeder]

Looks like Moussa Sissoko to Everton is now confirmed for 30M euros and Enner Valencia to Everton is also on the verge of completion, just working out final details.

100+ M euros spent on Sissoko, Gueye, Bolasie and Brahimi.

Bloody hell.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

£30 million for Sissoko is as hilarious as the first time I heard it. Everton left it late and panic bought.

Hope Valencia goes through. Heard the option was for £14.5 million, which is insane.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

100+ M euros spent on Sissoko, Gueye, Bolasie and Brahimi.

Bloody hell.

Did Brahimi go through? Thought Porto rejected their offer?

 

[Evilo]

What a lame move for PSG.
Selling a backup for more than 40M€ is not a bad move financially, but Emery just alienated Luiz in a single month.
Emery's move last weekend was inexcusable. Luiz was an extremely important member of the lockeroom.
Just like Matuidi, Verratti or Sirigu. All are gone or are considering moving because of Emery's decisions.

Sakho apparently refuses to leave. Don't know what to make of that. If the manager is telling him to go leave for a year to prove his professionalism and fitness, then he doesn't leave, what the hell does that mean?

If you believe Melissa Reddy (she was on TAW), she made it sound like he will likely not play for Liverpool in the future.

I mean I've loved Sakho since he got here, but his professionalism has always been an issue. Most Sakho fans (like myself) overlook it but it's been present. Klopp has stated he wanted a dedicated squad.

Verratti is considering moving? Can somebody please tell Conte and Abramovich?

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Every coach has his favorites and his way of doing things. Pep alienated and kicked people out, as did Klopp and Mouaniho is the biggest sinner of this.

 

[Evilo]

Verratti is considering moving? Can somebody please tell Conte and Abramovich?

Italy NT coach said Verratti was not happy in Paris because Emery played him as a 10.

Which was a bonehead move in the first place. He's such class at 8.

 

[McOilbleeder]

Did Brahimi go through? Thought Porto rejected their offer?

Ah you're right, I thought it went through but I was mistaken.

 

[Evilo]

Every coach has his favorites and his way of doing things. Pep alienated and kicked people out, as did Klopp and Mouaniho is the biggest sinner of this.

Sure, but I'm also sure they didn't sub defensemen when down 2-0 to show them who the boss is.
Nor left their most talented playmaker on the bench all game when down 2-0.
And finally let him get on the pitch 10 minutes from the end down 3-1.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Monaco's just rejected a 40M€ offer for 17 year old Kyllian Mbappé.

Do you think he's better than Martial was at the same age?

 

[Live in the Now]

Only other player Klopp has had a problem with was Perisic. That was a different situation though. Perisic wanted to play more and when he said something about Klopp playing favorites and liking Reus more, Klopp didn't like it.

His comments were not well-taken by Klopp, who responded: ‘Public whining belongs to kindergarten, not to the world of adults.
‘If he doesn’t play, a football professional should shut his mouth, work hard and make the coach select him – not complain about it to the reporters.’

 

[Evilo]

Do you think he's better than Martial was at the same age?

Way way way better.
Though to be fair I didn't rate Martial much at that age. Don't think he'll be a world class player either until he's played at striker, where I like him much better.

Mbappé is on another level talent wise. Think Dembélé/Hazard level. Just pure pure class.

 

[Jeffrey]

Do you think he's better than Martial was at the same age?

I think Kylian is better but it's hard to tell Monaco have now more depth than when they had Martial in their team.

 

[Tryamkin]

Gokhan Inler moves to Besitkas on a 3 year deal. Wasn't starting at Leiceister anyways.

Balotelli to Nice is now official for free. (Happy for Liverppol)

Arbeloa to West Ham confirmed

Allan Nyom transfers from Watford to West Brom on a perm. transfer.

Blackburn secures a loan move for Swansea striker Martin Emnes

Enner Valencia loan to Everton is all but confirmed, just final details being worked out.

 

[Tryamkin]

Agreed on Mbappe Lottin. Kid looks incredible so far and I think Monaco will keep him for a few more years until his price raises and he becomes more well known. Hazard skill level seems like a good comparison.

 

[Power Man]

Brahimi staying in FCP.
Gonna warm that bench

Slimani to LCFC is official . Picture with jersey and stuff

Brahimi isn't good enough to start there or are you being sarcastic?

 

[Savant]

Liverpool is done.

Last moves are Balotelli sale and Markovic loan

Sakho stays

Ilori, Randall and Brannagan also staying.
