KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Transfers seem wrong.. and we won't catch United!

Every signing is a risky one Jim. I think we should hold off any judgement until the end of the season. Lets hope we're both pleasantly suprised.

here here to that

KD has already imroved the squad depth greatly, by signing players like carroll, saurez, henderson.

I hope KD....Comolli i do not trust... will over the next couple of weeks, sign players like...(my choice) richards, sakho, dann, johnson, cissokho, turan..plze not downing, adam, sissoko, javi m, sanchez or hazard, tiovon or m gomez.

i think LFC will win the EPL in 2 years time, if KD signs talented overseas players, over average british players, with big big price tags ie downing 20m, add another 5/8m on top, KD cud sign hazard or sanchez or even turan for 10/12m max.

Thats an entire new starting 11 mate. Your dreaming if you think we can sign all those players in one window.

Following from my original post........

Seems the world and his dog believes we're definitely in for Downing at a near 15-20 Mil.

That's a scary peice of business!

I know we don't have Champs League to offer players but today the media are linking United as serious front runners for the world's next superstar.... Alexis Sanchez.

This kid has what it takes to be another Ronaldo... he's definitely that good! And for the sum of 25-30 Mil Euros.

I understand we have different goals than united for next season but can spending such a large sum on a player like Downing who for all intents and purposes will only get you so far, be justfied?

I'm worried about this transfer! Henderson, Adam are fine players. Good Squad/1st team rotation potential.

Downing just doesn't cut it and not for that fee........

Please sign Mata when the Euro window opens!!!!!!

i too fear signing downing for such a fee. end of the day it wouldnt surprise me judging on a recent few transfere fees we have paid. we need to learn to negotiate.

Come on guys.
It is more than 2 weeks before the Euro transfer window opens. So it is no use rallying we must sign Juan Mata now. Anyway the lad is still in Denmark now for the Euro U-21 Championship. Even if we want him to sign now , he would not be available to discuss personal terms or even undergoing medical. Maybe not sooner after the Championship too as he will need a short break after a strenuous season in La Liga with Valencia and the Euro U-21 Championship after that.

Anyway King Kenny , Damien Comolli and the board members will try their best not to disclose anything if we were bidding for Juan Mata. Look at Phil Jones's case. The moment we publicised with our bidding , then came the RED NOSE SCUM to cut queue and beat us to it. Surely King Kenny would not want this thing to repeat itself and see another of our target slip through our fingers again. And from what I read it's not only SCUM but ManCity and Chelsea are also after his signature.


Regarding Downing , personally I like him as he is a down to earth guy who does his feet do the talking. He does his work quitely but effectively.No complains and no sulking. None I heard or seen so far. And I'm sure if he does sign ( Hopefully not for the reported 20m ), he will a great asset to the team. Look how an ordinary midfielder cum winger ( Maxi Rodriguez ) played in the ending part of the season due to King , Stevie C and Sammy Lee's guidance. Downing works hard for the team and he is a no nonsense guy. And for all we know we might just be signing Mata and Downing together. Those two can create havoc on the wings , cut in when necessary and even swapping places anytime during the game.


Just My Opinion
YNWA...

Mata and Downing would be good options. 20m for Mata and hopefully no more than 12m for Downing.

ok lads ..just to see who was saying the signings were not right and who was slagging posters off for saying so...this excellent post by bohey says it all....
not only were we being told we were mancs wums etc there was and still is a distinct lack of grace from the same ones slating the likes of focus now...who imo has very valid points.
