Basically heās going to City and thereās nothing we have done to suggest we are in for him. Its all but a done deal I suspect.
In other unreliable transfer news, weāre being linked (nothing reliable) with Joel Ordonez, a 21 year old CB from Equador who plays for Club Brugge. Not seen the 10 games required to form a solid opinion, but from a quick look at footage, another Konate - young with bags of potential. Heavy touch and iffy passing, but defensively looks decent. Doesnāt look a patch on Leoni.
A Centre Back named Joel you say?
Already a massive fan ![]()
At that age there is still plenty you can do with the player. After all how old was Robbo when he came here?
According to TIA we are after homegrown players (Lacroix,Wharton and Collins also linked to Andersen but no chance of getting him in January).
Never been impressed by Lacroix
Collins?! Jesus Christ! Mama would be a better centre back
Its another case of ā¦we spot a good player, but because City canāt stand anyone else having good players, they start muscling inā¦and offer bleams amount of moneyā¦poor bloke give him 2 years and heāll be on their scrap pile, loaned out or flogged off to a shittier teamā¦Semenyoā¦u shouldve gone to a better teamā¦
The reporting has suggested that weāve cooled our previous interest.
This sounds like the opposite of what Juventus of old would do.
Give us one of your best players and Europeās best prospects on loan and weāll give you our unwanted player in return. Fairās fair!
Perhaps we should fake news emā¦and see if they biteā¦pick someone fron Droylseden FCā¦just a name I picked out of the blue..no detriment to this teamā¦and say were in for him as the next big strikerā¦surely they canāt be that thick that they biteā¦its just Shitteh do my head inā¦
Allegedly, thatās what Paisley used to do if we had scouted a donkey, so United would sign them.
Guehi will āprioritizeā a move to RM says RM.
Liverpool remain interested in signing Crystal Palaceās England defender Marc Guehi next summer, but he will prioritise a move to Real Madrid, who are also keen on the 25-year-old. (AS - in Spanish)
RM are also interested in another of our CB targets, says RM.
Real Madrid have entered the race for Borussia Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck, 26, with the Bundesliga club valuing the German at around £60m. (Sport - in Spanish)
Juve kind of thinking about Chiesa. Possibly. Maybe. Dunno when.
Juventus are considering a move to bring Liverpoolās 28-year-old Italy winger Federico Chiesa back to the club. (La Gazzetta dello Sport - in Italian)
If she can play CB sign her yesterday,that where our pressing need is!
His problem,must have a dunce of an agent or one looking after his bank manager.
Still, waiting until summer to compete against all other clubs for Guehi will be a profoundly stupid decision if we still want him. Just toss in 25-30m (still lower than the 35m bid last summer) plus somewhat higher wage than in the summer and close it.
Also, we do need more homegrown players in our squad after Trent, Elliott, Quansah, Morton and Kelleher departed.
Never as easy as that though - especially when the player is free to talk to any club from tomorrow. Guehi can go and demand a hefty signing on fee that is the equivalent of the fees we are talking about, and itād all go in his pocket.
I really do hope that we do get him, and ideally next week, not late in the window.
We need to move on from Guehe and Semeydo. Weve missed our chance with these 2.
There is a lot more to getting Guehi than the right fee and him wanting to come. Even ignoring what others could offer him. I do think he probably still wants to come and something can be sorted, but still depends on Palace having found a replacement. Liverpoolās desire and willingness to do everything we can to make it happen wasnāt the problem in the summer and doubt it will be now, but other factors can scupper it so we need contingency plans.
Thereās supposed to be a gentlemanās agreement for Guehi to join us in the summer on a free. I donāt care about Semenyo because heās limited. We face a low block most games and heās not the kind of player to unlock that. Not saying heās bad but there are better options in other positions we should fill.
Have you seen his throw ins? ![]()
