Transfer: Summer Transfer News and Rumors Part III

[These Are The Days]

Why the hell would anyone want Coutinho back at this point?

I'm just a believer in second chances. I think his issues are mental and the way things ended with LFC and all the hype of his transfer got to him. Maybe I'm wrong though

Would you not want him back cause of the way he left? Would he not be the perfect fit? I feel like a gam breaking CAM would be exactly what Pool need atm.

He’s not a good fit. Every player Liverpool signs should be capable of pushing themselves to the max and he can’t.

 

[robertmac43]

i guess it could also be said that they don't really need anything outide of a less dominant season by City

 

[Evilo]

Kike Marin is hinting Arsenal is interested in signing William Saliba.

@Evilo The talk is that he's the next Varane. Do you agree?

Too early to say, but he has looked exceptionally poised from the get go as an 18 year old starter.
Varane was looked as a phenom from a very early age, so I'd say Boubacar Kamara is more likely to be the next Varane, with his nice technique and soft passing.

He also just isn't that good (relative) of a player. The only reason he was as productive and influential as he was in his best time with Liverpool is because everything went through him. At his best he needs to be the focal point of the team and frankly he's not good enough to be that for a team with title/CL aspirations. Not to mention specifically it's not great for Klopp's teams because he dwells on the ball and slows play down too much. Mane and Salah can dwell on the ball but they're much faster and more direct. It's just a bad fit all around.

So thats why there continues to be links to Gross from Brighton. The guy has a great work rate but far less skill.

I truly believe he is able to get a dozen or so starts in the league next season because Koscielny will be hurt, Mustafi will leave and Holding eased back into competition.

He didn’t fit well in Valverde’s Barça this season, but he was good last season and he played his best football in England. I’m sure one of the top teams in England would be interested if he’s available, and it sounds like Chelsea’s one of those teams

If he moves, it's to start really.
He has 18 straight starts in L1.

I see the impact Diop had with West Ham and I hope one of the young French CBs can do the same at Arsenal.

Opportunity is there for the taking.

Guys, guys, guys, guys... stop breathing. Check the Ligue 1 thread...

Report: Arsenal want to sign Espanyol defender Mario Hermoso

Can play LB and CB. Hermoso could be a potentially great pick up for the Gunners

Kicker and Bild are both saying Brandt to Dortmund is very likely to happen.

Is Kai likely to stay this window?

I don't think his transfer is nearly as far along if it does happen. No release clause, and Leverkusen are likely to ask around 100M for him this summer. Earlier reports suggested that Bayern didn't want to sign him this summer, which lowers his odds of leaving if he has his heart set on Munich, and Leverkusen would prefer to keep him. I could see him leave in 2020 instead.

He's becoming like his idol CR7.

Yes please, he's really good.

Real want him back, but he refused them as he wants playing time to stick with Spanish NT.

 

[Halladay]

They is going to be a Neymar/Mbappe power struggle.

Which is weird, because this board was pretty adamant that his career was over when he moved.

 

[Evilo]

That is definitely a no. They're buddies.
Molina is NOT an informed pundit.

As I said, I think he has more to do with playing striker.

 

[Chimaera]

I mean, I know he's a superstar at this point, but I wouldn't think he has the power to dictate on transfers. Maybe people around him, or the implication of trying to find players who fit with what he does, but I can't think you let a kid of that age run things at a club that massive.

I read the comments more related to the I want to play striker, but I also think there's some of "we don't get this right, I might think about playing in Real or elsewhere". It's not a likely situation, but I do think there's always a specter of taking another option if it comes down to it.

 

[Savant]

Liverpool is not in on De Ligt. Looking for a backup LB to replace Alberto Moreno and a "versatile attacker" to replace Daniel Sturridge. But nothing else reported at this moment.
