Transfer: 2016 Summer transfer discussion

[les Habs]

what are the odds that Arsenal could get Rodriguez from Wolfsburg, and would he be a good fit. hes probably an upgrade on Gibbs

I would assume quite good if they go after him and put the funds required behind the effort. Of course who else was after him would also make a difference.

yeah i dont watch the bundesliga so i have to go by the world cup cup/Euro hype he has built.

 

[cgf]

Missing out on the CL apparently lowered his buyout clause; so he should be very gettable for any club ready to drop ~25M euros on a LB.

 

[Cassano]

Bellerin and Rodriguez defensively seems like a disaster. Nacho provides stability and provides amazing link-up play with Alexis.

Arsenal don't have any complaints about Monreal. Gibbs might be sold from what rumours say.

 

[Deficient Mode]

Why would Arsenal spend a big fee to upgrade a backup? Anyway, I'm of the opinion that Monreal is very underrated and Rodriguez is overrated. His stats are very nice and his crosses and free kicks very accurate, but he lacks a bit when he isn't doing something spectacular. Not a particularly creative passer (rather just an accurate one), doesn't combine particularly well with other wide players, and he's reliable defensively as well as physically strong for a full back, but he's not exceptional at pressing. He's not a particularly good dribbler either. I don't think he would look as good or rack up the same stats on a team with a more subtle attack than Wolfsburg.

Pretty spot on,

I would say a more defensively stable Moreno

Real Madrid Castilla have failed to gain promotion to the Liga Adelante so expect Odegaard to go out on loan.

Ajax and Monaco would be interested I imagine. With what has been reported, he is probably hoping for a better team.

-Mexican Porto center midfielder Hector Herrera declines Liverpool offer to sign with Napoli.

-Roma offering Nainggolan a new contract to fend off interest from Man United and Chelsea

-Liverpool re-igniting interest in Andriy Yarmolenko

Liverpool are not in for Herrera or Yarmolenko.

That was my point. Spend the €50M and never look back.

Why would gladbach accept that? That's the kind of sum that they'll sell him for when they are ready to sell. That's not the kind of sum it would take to convince them to sell this summer.

All we know is Dahoud is Klopp's top target. The rest is up to Monchengladbach.

There is an official bid in for Zielinski though so that might be a backup plan, which I have very mixed emotions about anyway.

I'm not sure I follow. We know Gladbach's position, and it's 'f*** off'. If LFC wants Mo, they're the ones who need to make things happen by coming up with an insane offer (pushing 9 digits), that might force BMG to re-think their plans entirely & actually consider selling him; so how is the ball in BMG's court?

Liverpool is going to keep pushing. Monchengladbach has the keys obviously so all they have to do is keep saying no.

 

[cgf]

But there is no pushing without making a KdB(+) type bid. That's the only way anything even has a chance of happening. If LFC haven't made such a bid, then they aren't actually pushing for him. They're just daydreaming.

I don't disagree with this but as stated Dahoud is universally accepted (along with Gotze) and Liverpool's top target this summer. This is being reinforced by all of Liverpool's top beat writers. I'm not here to say if it is going to happen or it isn't because it's obviously complicated, but this is a link that I don't think will die until the end of the window.

I can see Liverpool trying to do a buy and loan back offer like then successfully did with Grujic (although Monchengladbach and Red Star are in obviously different situations) but again Monchengladbach has all the leverage. That being said, if Klopp wants Dahoud as bad as it is being reported by reliable sources, Liverpool may get creative. I doubt they have the bandwidth and skill to do so, but we will see.

I personally hope Liverpool spend over £40 million on someone so Andy Carroll (although Chelsea paid for him) isn't listed as, or associated with being their record transfer anymore.

Fair enough.

And lol to the bolded, I always forget this. Should've paid a lil more for Firmino

 

[Jeffrey]

I think Liverpool need to make a statement signing.

Dahoud would be that! £40m or £50m whatever.

If their biggest name is Zielinski I believe LFC fans would be very dissapointed. But again Klopp also signed no superstar at Dortmund.

Good for Schalke. With the level his hype's at they must've gotten a tremendous fee out of Citeh.

Spanish reporter saying a German player is going to England....

Let's see. City has been linked before though. Hopefully he doesn't rot on the bench.

It's gonna be for 3 years

Has he be linked with other clubs? Just wondering how much he's been courted. You would think on a free there would be teams lining up?
