I cannot believe Liverpool is about to get £19m for Dominic Solanke.

If there is one thing I've learned, don't trust Chelsea youngsters to actually develop into quality players. RLC looks like he will do it, Hudson-Odoi has potential, and Ampadu doesn't really count. Prior to those, the last academy product was John Terry. It's not even that they don't play, it's just that the vast majority of them are overrated and overhyped.

Solanke did his career some damage by thinking he could stroll over to Liverpool and get minutes when he wasn't at Chelsea, hopefully he can get back on track.

I'd wager this is Bournemouth hedging on the assumption that Wilson is leaving. He's been linked heavily with Chelsea. There have been worse January buys and he can pot them

Defoe seems like he would be a nice role model for Solanke.

Too bad Defoe went to Rangers

File this name away

Who is Ki-Jana Hoever? Liverpool starlet who helped Klopp decide Clyne's future

Supposedly he is the reason Clyne and Camacho are allowed to leave

I can't keep up.

Amazing that a guy like that gets £19millon. They didn't learn from Ibe already?

Adam Smith is another good one. Currently playing for Seattle Sounders

It seems like they have all the next world class youngster. They have some decent names but nothing compared to their initial hype.

Kakuta, McEachran, Chalobah, Bruma.

It seems like their youngster struggle to make the next step.

The best in recent years:
Ake, RLC, Bertrand, Traore, Christensen

Liverpool are not amazing either but they have some decent player coming from their academy.

Sterling, Suso, Alexander-Arnold, Wilson, Coady, Ibe.

What is the best academy in england? Tottenham maybe?

Kane, Bentaleb, Walker, Rose, Winks, Walker-Peters

Guess I forgot Christensen, but I count him like Ampadu, purchased at 16, so not a full academy product, but technically checks the box. People just hype Chelsea because they win titles at the youth level, but those are ultimately meaningless.

Been really really good for Seattle too when he plays he’s making Seattle consider selling their young LB Nouhou (who probably has the potential to be a Yedlin like player)

The thing with Solanke is that he looks like Tarzan but plays like Jane. If he was more clinical with his opportunities last year he may still be in Liverpool, but as for now I can't complain with the money.

Sure. But that's his level

 

[Gecklund]

Oh yeah 100% agree but more of wanted to get a shout about Nouhou.

Done deal between Rabiot and Barca.
5 year contract, 10M annual salary. 10M signing bonus.

Barca and PSG will have a talk to see if a winter transfer is possible, for cheap change obviously.

 

[Gecklund]

Just read a report that United are interested in Yannick Carrasco. Obviously haven’t watched a single game of his since moving to China but he was pretty good st Atletico. Isn’t he a RB/RW or am I getting sides mixed up?

Not interested in him at all. I also wouldn't talk to PSG about any January window transfer. Al-Khelaifi can retaliate and pay Coutinho's clause.

Talk in the Barça papers is about Todibo. I think he's the alternative to de Ligt because they don't want to pay the asking price.

Were it me I'd sign de Jong, de Ligt and Todibo.

Not a real transfer window until we're linked to Nicolas Gaitan.

I wonder if that takes them (Barca) out of the de Jong race? Doesn't make sense to me to offer that big salary to Rabiot, and then pay up a big transfer fee to Ajax.

I mean if Carrasco is a RW/RB it sort of makes sense. I can’t remember if he was used on the right or left though.

PSG has zero interest in Coutinho.
They're closing in on both De Ligt and De Jong. Henrique is in Amsterdam today.

You should be interested in Rabiot. He's a tremendous player. I don't need to talk about his character, but maybe he'll shut up on a team like Barca, where he's nobody.
Rabiot would probably be your best midfielder.

As said, I think PSG is making a huge move here for both Ajax guys.
They'll sell Cavani next summer. Di Maria and Draxler possibly too.
They're also trying to get Weigl to join this winter.
