The Unreliable LFC Transfer Rumours Discussion Thread (Part 3)

@El-Cuchillero any thoughts (seem to recall you are the south american Tan football guru)

[Bekloppt]

Yes, nobody thought of buying young Argentinian players until they won the world cup. It was completely unheard of.

Not that they didn’t buy them. But not at the rates they are buying them now.

Give me Delap at £30m over Sesko for £60m every day of the week. Same player, half the price but both way above Kevin Davies level.

But in reality I don’t think either suit us and neither will be high on our list this summer.

[sandsoftime]

We need a

Finding the right one though… not going to be easy :0)

So the question is, is there a way for Isak to step up even more than his current level? If so, then it would match the sentiment of being undervalued.

[redalways]

I can’t tell if you’re being serious.

[Bekloppt]

It’s easy - if it’s funny, he’s being serious. If it’s not funny, he’s joking.

What happened to that cat that used to invade the pitch during matches? I’m assuming that the ground is feline proof since the rebuilt the stands.

[redalways]

Didn’t we have a poster called Anfield Cat before?

[sandsoftime]

Cat on the pitch at Anfield

I rather like the fact that the goalkeeper was trying to herd a cat as if it was a centre-back or something.

Šeško is great - and I think he’d be a very good option given that his style of play is in line with Slot’s - but I’m a bit tired of seeing Liverpool constantly getting fleeced by Leipzig and none of those players exactly setting the world alight at Liverpool, at least not consistently. For that money, you’d expect a finished product.

The price rumoured for Sesko is similar to that for Ekitke isnt it? Is he any further along the development track?

Unfortunately, I haven’t seen the price quoted for Ekitike (and I also haven’t seen nearly enough of him to be able to pass judgement ). I thought Leipzig wanted something like 80 million euros for Šeško (allegedly a gentleman’s agreement between him and Leipzig, not a release clause)?

[Bekloppt]

Has anyone seen the required ten full games of Etikett?

[Limiescouse]

I have, or I thought I had and then found out it was a different player.

I could have worked for Souness with that sort of attention to detail

@ZinedineBiscan

We’re also being linked to a 17yo Argentine, left-footed right-winger called Mastanuono. I know nothing about him, but seems like he’s played over 40 first-team games already for River Plate, and is also being linked with moves to City, Inter and Real.

Turns 18 in August, and given it looks like we’ll have Mo for another two years, a young high-potential player who can sub on for him and play cup games initially at least, who’ll hit 20 just as Mo leaves us, looks like a decent idea on paper anyway.

Never seen him play but the SCOUTED podcast did a series reviewing the U17 World Cup and rated him very highly.
