KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Is this a realistic transfer target?

I must admit first, I have not seen any rumors linking this player to us, neither have I heard anything on here recently. (I will get to who it is soon)

- But neither have I seen any other clubs linked with this player either.

Also, it looks like we will be trying to sign class players, but under the radar from other clubs. (Like Suarez in Jan for instance)

This player could be very special and could give us something else we need....a long with a class winger or two...providing the money is there (BTW Downing does not fit into this, for me...)

We need that link player between Midfield and Attack, a long with Gerrard. Even though we have seen a massive improvement in how our team has been playing since Dalglish's return...In some games our forwards have looked separate from the rest of the team, because of the lack of a link between Midfield and Attack, it was evident bucket loads in the Spurs game.

Yes when Gerrard is back, we will have that support, but I still feel we need something else and that something else is an attacking midfielder:

Yoann Gourcuff? What do you think?

...or would you like to see Charlie Adam, or even Aquilani back?

First I agree with your opnion on another cm to bridge gap between attack and defennce, for me Gerrard won't cut it in cm in a 4-4-2 as he's too mobile unless we move to a 4-3-3 and play him in the attacking role.
Gourcuff if slightly less offensive compared with Gerrard as in he keeps his positon in cm but I can't see what he'd offer that say Gerrard Meireles or Aquailani can add.

It's obvious Commoli and Lfc want an attacking midfielder and/or a defensive midfielder.

Adam is good offensively but when it comes to a team who are sitting back and playing for a draw can he crack open there defence with a ball or piece of magic. He's been at Blackpool this season where all the opposing teams have had a go to win the game and not played to sit back and go for a draw.

This puts Gourcuff and Diego for me ahead of Adam in the pecking order as I'm not sure he can offer us creativity when teams close up shop.

Unless we can get Diego or Gourcuff for a real baragin price I mean around 10 mil ala Van der Vaart, wouldn't go for them untill we can offload Aquilani. Aquilani is very similar to Gourcuff and Diego but maybe Aquilani can defend slightly better or play deeper than the other two can but the big factor is Aquilani's apprent wage, if it's as high as rumoured offload him and bring in one for Gourcuff or Diego on a much smaller contract.

Potentialy we could save 30k a week if we offload Aquilani and bring in Diego or Gourcuff.

Lastly out of Gourcuff and Diego I would prefer Diego and I also believe he'll leave Wolfsberg this summer on the cheap due to disiplinery problems with their manager. He's also stated he'd love to join a massive european club like lfc last month and I think he'd thrive in our upcoming South American group of players/friends.

Diego's transfer fees have been 25mil and then 15 mil in euros.
Potentialy due to his problems with the Werder Management we could snap him up for 8 mil or the equivalent cost of Adam whilst buying player with champions league experience.

id love to see deigo myself also if say we get another striker - Aguruo or benzema ...would you play 4-3-3 and iof so where would you play gerrard. we would need 1 defensive less attacking midfeilder really otherwise may be left oopen in back. Cant really see aguro sitting on the bench niether can i see suraez and 35 million andy caroll (by the way i think hell come great if he lives upto his expectation he need not worry to live upto his price tag.)so they'll have to play....

I think Gourcouff is a fantastic player and I've been going on about him for ages, think we where interested in him a couple of years ago? I doubt there is any now though, especially considering his dip in form since he moved clubs.

Gourcuff keeps getting worse not better. Wouldn't want him

Gourcouff is a very good player, and I think a move to liverpool can revive his career.

Yeah...Goucouff is a terrific player. One of the best French midfielder in the current squad.

Gourcuff has gone down hill since he left Bordouex, for both France and Lyon he has been awful, however if he could get his form back to his time at Bordouex he's one of the world elite att mid.

Seen Gourcuff on many occasions for france and Bordaux before he moved and to be honest, I don't get the hype, he was very poor. Diego is good and potentially a better option than Adam based on technical skill but I would pick Adam because of his PL experienc.

is he the one who plays for VfL Wolfsburg? if so i don't see where he fits in, we already have meireles and gerrard and we more than likely will be playing 442 next season, so where does he fit into our squad and team?
