The Unreliable Rumours Discussion Thread (Part 1)

My guess is it works suspiciously well timing wise with when Mbappe is expected to leave PSG.

I wonder if Alcantaraā€™s probable arrival signals the start of a selling spree from the club. Is it a coincidence that Brewster was reportedly valued at 20-25 million pounds, just as much as Alcantara will cost? Maybe Iā€™m reading too much into this but stillā€¦ If they are buying Alcantara, that means that they are expecting some money coming in, right?

Iā€™m not letting go of belief that Edwards can get 20 million pounds for each of Grujić, Wilson and Shaqiri, though, some 5 million pounds for Karius as well (to be honest, at this point Iā€™m thinking that it would be easier to get 30 million pounds for Wilson than 5 million pounds for Karius). Thatā€™s Alcantara and Sarr money right there, for example, even before the decision is made on Brewster (who Iā€™d like to see loaned out to a PL club if possible) and Origi (whoā€™s probably better off moving elsewhere).

Yes and then Sancho or Mbappe come in!

Iā€™d be happy if we could get 60/65mp for the lot,especially if that meant 20/25 for Alcantara and the remaining being used for Sarr(or similar),while also holding onto and using Brewster before deciding to sell him.

I think anything we sell we will also spend, so wouldnā€™t surprise me if we sell several fringe players and make a late bid for someone like Sarr.

I donā€™t think Karius, Wilson, Grujic or Brewster are in his plans at all, I also think Shaqiri May free up what they need to sign a replacement.

There is Gini too but Iā€™m no longer sure on that one going as I was, I think Kloppā€™s tendency to continue playing Ox up top was an inkling to that option and then you have Origi, if several did go expect two more in.

Your looking at at least 50m for that first 4. I think we need to recruit up top if we sell mind, Iā€™m comfortable with Fabinho at the back if Iā€™m honest

iā€™ll still pass through on occasion out of boredom but itā€™s beyond obvious at this point he has no clue

I heard that Wolves have made an offer for Oxlade Chamberlain. If we can sell him close to his 35m original fee, then we could flip that money to sign a forward such as Sarr or Patson Daka. This would make a lot of sense to me.

A Leeds fan I know who seems to have a little insight on coming and goings at Leeds says Wilson has turned down a move to them.

Iā€™m glad to hear that! Stay and fight for his spot. That would be consistent with everything the lad has ever done. He wants to be a Liverpool player.

Why the fuck would he do that? :flushed:
He knows he isnā€™t getting much, if any, playing time here.

Imagine being Leeds and getting turned down for Liverpool U23s.

Unless heā€™s confident of something else coming up, itā€™s not a great move from him.

We have to loose some midriff wobbles now.

Karius itā€™s 2020 and this guy is still here
Nat Phillips
Grujic
Wilson
At least two of Origi, Brewster and Shaqiri
Whatever insignificant youth players remaining

Iā€™ve been wondering if COVID has brought those decisions forward at all? Brewster in particular would seem to be a player we would / could loan out from Christmas for example.

Iā€™m surprised Karius is still here, my concern is we wonā€™t be able to sell him.

Sadly I feel he may be at the point in which we have one bad game and we then fear every shot. At least the lad has a defence unlike us at amateur level.

How reliable are the links? Seems very much from the ā€˜linked to a player that once played well against usā€™ basket. Echo are usually involved in such rumours.

We donā€™t have to sell him. Somebody just have to ask for him. We will buy his ticket and drive him to airport.

Will still save Ā£5 millions. :relieved:

So do I but Iā€™m not good enough either.

The links to him have consistently come from the regulars though, so it is difficult to dismiss them entirely.
