KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum summer transfer window rumors and bullsh!t

That is why this thread is also called bullish!t

On that note hope messi comes to us

His too small, would get eaten alive in our league

Ha ha comedy. Saying that I never understand people saying that players won't hack the premiership as it's too physical for small players, this is bullish!t for 2 reasons

1) barcalona prove that by thrashing the scum that your team can be full of midgets and beat premier league teams
2) Any slight contact results in a player doing two cart wheels and a forward roll which the ref awards their effort with a free kick

So no matter your size if your good enough, your small enough :-)

a few "credible" lads on rawk are saying we're preparing a bid for jack rodwell.

Real Madrid defender Fernando Gago headed to Liverpool, agent confirms

Liverpool are currently favourites to sign Fernando Gago, the 25-year-old Real Madrid midfielder who has been linked with a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu this summer.

Liverpool have been one of the most active Premier League sides in the summer transfer window so far, having already signed Sunderland midfielder Jordan Henderson for £16 million.

They now have their sights set on Gago, the Argentinean defensive midfielder who is set to make a move away after falling out of favour with Madrid boss Jose Mourinho.

In the 2010-2011 season, Gago went on to make only seven appearances, four in the La Liga and three in the Copa del Rey.

That was a step down from the previous seasons, where he had managed 42, 33 and 22 appearances in all competitions from his second season onward, respectively.

The defender is desperate for regular first team football, which is why he has decided to leave the Spanish giants.

The player’s agent confirmed that his client had entered talks with Liverpool and it was only matter of time before the deal was concluded.

Gago’s agent said while speaking to reporters:

“Gago needs to play and Liverpool would be a perfect club for him, Fernando wants to get back on the pitch and return to the top level and at the moment that is not possible in Madrid.”

There has also been talk at Real Madrid about the player leaving, with Aston Villa and Liverpool both being cited as possible destinations.

A source close to the club revealed:

“Fernando knows that he has no future at the club.

There has been interest in the past from some Italian clubs and Aston Villa, but Liverpool have shown the most interest.”

However, it seems highly unlikely that Gago will sign with Aston Villa. He is close to signing with the Reds, who are on a mission to strengthen their squad this summer.

Having finished at a disappointing sixth place finish in the English Premier League table last season, they are determined to return to winning ways.

Liverpool kick off their season against Sunderland at Anfield on 13th August, after which they will travel to the Emirates Stadium to take on Arsenal.

Roma have confirmed that the club hope to complete the transfer of Barcelona forward Bojan Krkic next week

20-year-old Krkic, who has previously been linked with a move to Liverpool or Arsenal, became a transfer target for Roma following the appointment of Luis Enrique as coach.

Enrique knows the young Spaniard well from his time at Camp Nou, where he was Bojan's former coach at Barcelona B.

Krkic recently rejected the chance to join Udinese as part of a potential deal that would have taken Alexis Sanchez to the Spanish champions, but he appears to be keen on moving to Roma.

Roma director Walter Sabatini told Sports Network: "In Spain they say Bojan is a Roma player.

"It's very close and very realistic but the deal has not yet been finalised although we hope to do so on the coming days."

if we can sign him for around 8 mill i would be happy tbh adds more to our squad

crap player

I think gago could add to the squad, remember mascherono wasn't getting in the west ham squad.

Gago is shocking. I doubt we're in for him anyway, Kenny knows better than to go for the worst player in the world.
