The Unreliable LFC Transfer Rumours Discussion Thread (Part 3)

Depends if he wants to sit on the bench. Same for Robbo really. He can do a job just not how it’s been though. His performance last week showed he is still a good player on a weeks rest.

We would have to buy a sub regardless if we sold him as Tsimikas is likely to go.

Absolutely and Irish players.

Well Conor Bradley and Alexis heritage should cover that

Noise about Kelleher and Leeds Utd, similar type of noise is surrounding Tsimikas going there also… Ok Ok, silly season has started early, but it could be a good move if it happens.
At the end of the day, Tsimikas has never lit Anfield ablaze with his performances, but he has never let us down either…
Would be good to see him playing regularly, for a fanbase that would likely to take to him…

Which one?

Ha Okay… Tsimi of course.
Have edited the sentence because it was a tad confusing

And today’s CM target is …

I’m sure we could do better than Nkunku.

And I’m sure Harvey could do better than Wolves.

What’s your view on Wharton :joy:

Doubt we would be signing a 27 year old striker who hasn’t really done much at this level.

Nkunku seems unlikely but there were loose links when he was at Leipzig and if he measured up to our needs then (ie was rated by our analysts) and is now undervalued, maybe there’s a chance now.

We did alright with another Chelsea flop.

I’d be disappointed for Kelleher if he didn’t get into a regular CL team, that’s his level.

I read the whole article, which was more about Wharton’s growing up (it’s a nice one, actually). It only says in passing that Liverpool and Real Madrid are monitoring him. I’m not saying it isn’t true, just that this article barely reflects on it. For what it’s worth, I rate him, though I’d be wary of his injuries and I don’t really think that, even if he was Man of Steel, Liverpool would be able to afford buying such an expensive player in position where they already have Gravenberch and, to an extent, Mac Allister. We also don’t know what happens with Bajčetić…

Well, it looks like Real have finalized the Huijsen deal so we can put a pin in that

I put a pin in that last week, when Real’s interest was reported.

I probably should put a pin in the Wirtz one too, but there’s a chance there still.

His injuries last season were pretty serious, which would be my only concern, but if the deal is right he could be next seasons lucky dip attempt (like Chiesa this)

Problem is I saw who reported the Wharton link a week or so back and it’s that newspaper we don’t buy.

And?

He had a couple of decent seasons in Italy and was younger. He arrived on the back of that at 25 and was 22 at Chelsea.

It holds up about as well as not buying Italians because one was injured, Chiesa didn’t play and Balotellu was slightly odd.

I’m not in the habit of off funding their mistakes.

There weren’t any references of that lot in this Daily Mail article but thanks for pointing it out, of course. That said, I think there were some tentative links with Wharton last summer but I would have to do some digging to remember who reported them.

Yeah no worries it’s the only recent link I had seen and the press recycle stuff.
