KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Agent's second visit to melwood

Its Leighton Baines.

The word "shock" does not imply the player is expensive, but rather that it's someone who hasn't been linked with the club (somehow) or where it is perceived he has too many obstacles to sign for us (eg interest from CL/"better" clubs). Baines/Cahill are good shouts, given that Moyes would rather knife himself than sell to us. I would have said Sakho, given that Wenger has finally admitted he needs a defender, but if that 20m valuation is true then most clubs would go elsewhere, so if we do land him I wouldn't consider that a shock anymore. Another option in the shock category would be Coentrao, who's claimed to be heading to the Bundesliga, but maybe hasn't actually signed anything?

Coentrao whb he was younger played left and right wing for the under 18s an 21s. He could solve our left sided problems for years. The boy is class and ready for the next grade.

Another one that would 'shock' is a return of a former Liverpool favorite. Only Alonso springs to mind.

I must admit I am leaning upwards sahko or Cahill from Bolton as our defensive options. Coentrao on the left and either hazard or Sanchez as shock signings.

Good point on Alonso. After the mess Mourinho is making of their season it would interesting if he wanted to come back.

Its Xabi Alonso... I Wish!!

its probs leighton baines.

Its not cahill or baines. It is a winger. The latest article on ashley young on koptalk says comolli is chasing a winger who would be considered a marquee signing. Its got to be hazard or sanchez imo.

Yes but how many times have we been linked with Young?

Everyone has reported it, the article is just reporting it to.

For it to be a "shock" it has to be someone who has not really been talked about by us or the media.

Like someone else mentioned above.

A shock to me would be Baines or Cahill, mainly because Everton will be angry about it, but totally powerless.

Players like Young, Lennon, Coentrao, Enrique etc - I doubt would be classed as that sort of "shock," because we have been linked with them A LOT.

Also gonna put this name into the mix. DROGBA?

Unless the "shock" refers to the number of signings? Would you be shocked if we signed all of Enrique, Cahill (CB), Sakho, Young, Adam, Wickham, A. Johnson without needing to sell players other than those we'd happily give away? Hmmm, maybe that's "amazed" rather than "shocked".

The shock there^^^^ would be of the kind: "FSG invested HOW MUCH money?"
