KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Current PL players worth taking a chance on in the summer?

Don't like him,reminds me of Carl Lewis,didn't like him either.

How good is Saha really? Because we will be looking at 40m - 50m I'd say to sign him. Have not seen enough of him. But we will have the English tax

I think he is back and will play against us. If I'm not mistaken they didn't win any games while he was out, now that he is back things will be more difficult for us

Why, you mean his looks?

You can't judge a player from his looks Vish.

Had Zaha joined another club and had success after Man United other than Palace I would have said that they let him go after not giving him a decent go. But I have a feeling he will always play better at Palace than anywhere else and that it is not too hard for him to be the standout player at Selhurst Park.

Not only did he not progress at Scumchester he also did not progress into the England set up and having played a couple of friendlies then pledged his international future to Ivory Coast. Is that because it is easier for him in the same way as it is to play for Palace with such freedom?

The injury is not a problem I just don't think he has the mentality to deal with life at a top club. I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole.

Like others have said Sessegnon is the player everybody is wanting to sign this summer. I agree that Spurs are first in the queue but this kid has got it and the club that gambles £40m could have an absolute bargain on their hands. The kid plays left back / left wing and has played almost every game this season and is still only 17.
He is possibly better now than Sterling was when he left us. An English player who plays in two positions on the left, has pace, scores goals and is improving with every game.
We missed out on Dele Alli. We shouldn't miss out on this one. If we are looking at players like Draxler, Lemar and Pulisic this lad at somewhere near half the price could be the answer.

Of the players we are linked with or have been spoken about from PL clubs I am not that inspired. Alderweireld at 28 is too old for the FSG model but at £25m would be a good punt. Lanzini at West Ham just looks too lightweight for me and his first touch is not that good. He has not made the impact at West Ham that Payet made so if he cannot be a full replacement for Payet how could he be a direct replacement for Coutinho. Mahrez is very good but not at £50m plus for me. Butland has not been the same keeper since his injury and £40m to rescue him from the Championship is far too much.
We will not find a bargain this summer especially after the recent high prices being paid and are less likely to find a bargain from the current PL teams.

Well, you said he reminded you of Carl Lewis, were you talking about his running? What didn't you like with Carl Lewis and same with Zaha?

I never have the time the read the whole threads anymore
