Liverpool Rumours Archive May 24 2019

I've just seen an article linking us with Ryan Fraser. I know a few other big clubs have been monitoring him (Arsenal, Chelsea, Man U, Everton) .

Are we now in the running for him? Also, wasn't he this season highest chance creator? (And yes, I'm aware that it's quantity and not quality of chances) .

I was just wondering if anyone else knew anything about this.

These rumours been going around for a few days. Yes I think after Hazard was top assists. I have never really watched him much and think there are better options out there.

Arsenal favourites to sign him.

24 May 2019 17:51:20
I don't think we have any serious interest in him, more effective as a winger then a CAM. I wouldn't be surprised to see Arsenal or Spurs make a move, though probably as a second choice or if their budget is stretched thin from picking up a couple players.

Ed002 said he hadn't heard anything about a Liverpool offer but mentioned him as a possible target on the arsenal page and said "Ryan Fraser (LW) has the advantage of being home grown".

I’m not sure on the stat, but if he created a chance, I think it’s like created a shot, so I think that denotes quality. Maybe with a more clinical striker he would have got more assists. Again, it’s a stat that looks good, but means very little.

I think mane got three assists this year, and 22 goals. That would suggest he is selfish. but he’s far from it.

24 May 2019 18:48:58
We could do a lot worse imo, looked good this season when I watched him.

24 May 2019 18:48:58
Thanks for your replies, guys.

He certainly doesn't sound like the worst player we could be linked with. And if he's a left sided winger he'd offer a good rotation option considering that Mane played on the right before we signed Salah.

I guess it's just a "wait and see".

24 May 2019 18:58:11
He had a fantastic season, always remember him coming on against us and turning the game in their favour when they beat us 4-3!

Don't know if he has the quality we need but seems a Klopp type of player with pace to burn and good work ethic.

24 May 2019 22:23:10
Bit of a Liverpool fan as well by all accounts.

25 May 2019 01:23:10
I'd be happy to get Fraser he's a pest and would buy into the work rate that Jurgen demands also played with Robertson at international level . He's certainly got something about him on the pitch and doesn't seem to have a massive ego.

25 May 2019 06:01:34
Can anyone name a player we've been linked with who isn't a 'Liverpool fan'?

{Ed025's Note - gareth bale..

Reminds me of the transfer of Charlie Adam. I'd look else where.

25 May 2019 11:09:23
magico. Because he's Scottish?

He's nothing like Charlie Adam in any way apart from that.

25 May 2019 13:54:42
About the same level if you ask me. hardly stands out in an average team. so in my opinion he isn't good enough. Each to their own.

25 May 2019 16:17:30
Descent player.

25 May 2019 21:08:56
Could be a all Scottish left side with and robbo and Fraser, be excellent edition to our squad at a reasonable price.

26 May 2019 04:46:12
I wouldn't mind him. He'd be like Robbo, Milner and Hendo when it comes to work rate and not being a flashy player but getting the job done.

If the price is right then why not :)

26 May 2019 12:52:52
Ryan frazior has been a phenomenon for Bournemouth this season. He deserves a move to a big club. I think he would suit our style well but id expect a higher profile attacking mid if we sign one. Arsenal bound sounds aboit right.

Morning Eds,

Any update on Adrien Rabiot I remember a while back that it was touted that Klopp and Liverpool were keen.

Has it cooled or are we still interested in signing him?

{Ed001's Note - we are not going to meet his financial expectations.}

24 May 2019 10:36:43
I’m quite interested to see where he ends up, you would assume he would of agreed somewhere in the background.

As you say, whilst he is a “free transfer” his total costs will be astronomical.

Where do you think he will end up?

{Ed001's Note - not a clue, maybe Man Utd due to the costs involved.}

24 May 2019 10:42:38
His mum was a big part of the problem wasn't she?

24 May 2019 12:43:42
Thanks for the heads up Ed001,

a talented lad that's for sure. As stated, you would think a move would be close to happening or if not completed already.

Money talks! Sadly.

{Ed001's Note - welcome.}

24 May 2019 12:58:46
If Ramsey is getting those daft wages at Juve on the open market Rabiot will want something similar.

24 May 2019 14:02:21
Don’t see why we need another midfielder to be honest.

24 May 2019 14:31:36
It's a common theme these days for players who let their contract run down then go looking for whatever club will pay him the most. Meyer going to Palace, for example. I wouldn't want any player that thinks he the dog's b*/ / #x or puts money first. It's pretty short-sighted and usually not in the best interest of their career. Pricing themselves out of a deal with a top team and ending up at a mid-table club for more money shows they value money over ambition. Have fun at Old Trafford, Adrien, we have no place for mercenaries.

{Ed001's Note - there is a lot more to it than that.}

24 May 2019 15:35:24
Has been treated like poo at PSG, I would run down my contract too if I was in his shoes.

24 May 2019 16:24:08
What goes around, comes around. Takes two hands to clap. It's life. Two sides to everything. If he got poo'd on he must have done some pooing himself. 🤷‍♂️.

{Ed001's Note - that is absolute nonsense. Innocent people are murdered every day for nothing other than being in the wrong place at the wrong time. They haven't done 'some pooing'. Life is not like that at all. The rich poo on the poor all the time for no reason other than they are poor and can be taken advantage of.}

24 May 2019 17:20:53
He hasn't played in 6 months.

25 May 2019 08:57:28
Sounds like he could be a 'problem child' from my limited reading on his issues at PSG so I'd rather pass.
