Liverpool Rumours Archive July 10 2017

10 Jul 2017 21:41:25
Looks like the press are reusing stories from 3 years ago in saying we are going after Angel Correa again.

Apparently we offered him £50k p/ w but he wants £75k p/ w
And Athletico are willing to sell him for £25mil. (why the quote is £ and not € just makes it even less convincing)

So we have apparently already gave him an offer but haven't put in a bid yet? If this is true then "Here we go again - tap tap tap"

But I can't see it being true, specially since Athletico have a ban and I doubt will let anybody go.

Heard anything about this Eds? Or just usual media recirculation?
Thanks.

{Ed025's Note - absolute tripe phil..

10 Jul 2017 21:57:22
Thought it might be, cheers for the reply ed025 😊.

10 Jul 2017 22:01:00
Clickbait.

11 Jul 2017 07:57:17
Lol how many forwards do we play per game and how many do we have on our books? Surely, with the arrival of Solanke, we won't be looking at bringing in another one?

11 Jul 2017 09:24:17
Could be someone to look into if Sturridge gets sold.
He would fit the team quiet well imo. Quick, good technique and still young.

It is very unlikely to happen but as a alternative to Captain injury a good choice.

11 Jul 2017 11:10:33
I used to really rate him as a youth academy product and thought he would go on to push for a starting place this season with Gameiro and Torres inconsistent to say the least but his progression has stagnated quite significantly in my opinion and think he'd be a poor signing at this point in time.

10 Jul 2017 15:33:59
Bakayoko the player destined for chelsea has himself liked apost linking him eith liverpool.

{Ed002's Note - Off to Liverpool then. It was bound to come out eventually.}

10 Jul 2017 15:51:20
Id laugh my head off if he did come to us but can't see it. Just silly rumours.

10 Jul 2017 16:12:39
Ed002's response was golden haha! :')

10 Jul 2017 17:22:11
Saw he was bound to MU sometime back.

Looks like he is visiting all places.

Cheers.

10 Jul 2017 17:36:43
Silly season plus twitter = bollocks.

10 Jul 2017 19:02:34
Saw Bakayoko in Asda car park, must be on his way.

{Ed025's Note - i think your off your trolley max.. :)

10 Jul 2017 20:25:03
He will be at Chelsea by next week.

10 Jul 2017 21:29:45
The tweet said
"Chelsea rejected him, United are hesitating, he's calling everyone, he contacted Liverpool himself. "

But if you look on his twitter page now, it is not in his likes, or at least I couldn’t find it xD

Probably some trip photoshopped it to make everybody go (more) stupid.

10 Jul 2017 21:50:49
Hope not he is truly overrated.

11 Jul 2017 02:12:00
We still don't have an out and out goal scorer. Firmino is great no 10 but not a 25+ man. He's highly involved in making goals and is a class act. Still think that to win the league you need someone prolific. Has anyone ever won prem without a 20+ guy? Origi has the potential to be that man and he seems the sort of player could go up a level or two pretty quickly. When you have 5 players on double figures it's not such a problem. I don't know who the answer is.

11 Jul 2017 13:47:58
I don't see why we need strikers or forward players. Its not as though we struggle for goals really.

11 Jul 2017 19:24:20
Total goals no but goals in some specific games and scoring regularly are issues. Question is are those not creating or not taking chances. Do remember early season against Watford (? ) Firminho missed a bucket load. With 2 wide men and Coutinho in the middle may offer more variety to break down teams but ultimately only one LFC striker is a 20 a season player and he is an injury risk.

11 Jul 2017 19:26:19
I agree Nevada, we have goals coming from all over midfield and now with Salah, Even more.
We were 2 goals short of city, 7 goals short of Chelsea and only 8 short of Tottenham (I say "only" because Kane scored 29 goals with 5 being from penalties) which is more than double what our highest scorers got with 0 penalties too)

If we had an out an out striker, the midfielders probably won’t score as much as they will be giving all the assists, Firmino likes to assist goals too.

11 Jul 2017 23:44:29
I know red Phil. I did say that we have 5/ 6 players on double figures. I know what you're saying, we were league top scorers for ages. Last time we challenged for title (and should have won) we had suarez. If you look back, no one has won prem without a 20+ guy
Fresht was bang on, we do have that guy but hd is so injury prone and doesn't want to push himself too far. DS should be a premier league legend but his situation is starting to look like Jamie redknapps bless him. I'd like to see us with a real bruiser to look after him.

12 Jul 2017 06:17:29
True superred I get what you mean and to be honest I would still love another Suarez type of forward, but as things stand it can be the last thing we need to worry about.

Suarez was also made x10 better with the partnership of Sturridge. They where just the perfect telepathic partnership.
Who knows, Firmino might now be able to score a lot more this season with Mane and Salah by his side and Couts where he should be - behind.


And the +20 goals to win the league isn’t always fair,
Costa just about got 20 and Chelsea won the league, (and he will be leaving unless the recent media rubbish is somehow true)

Kane got 29 and Spurs couldn't win the league (which actually surprises me still to this day, because of how solid they where defensively! *head spin again*)


But I think the addition of Salah will bring a lot more goals to the side without drastically reducing goals scored from anywhere else.

But it’s all guess work, we don’t know how Salah will do and if our defense doesn't get sorted it won’t matter as we won’t be winning the league still.

12 Jul 2017 06:22:42
Sorry forgot to add;
It is a damn shame about Sturridge's injury's because y'all are right he could easily be our 20+ goal scorer and would be one of the best strikers in the prem. They need to give him a bionic hip and he needs to try and control his shot power/ speed, he has too much power/ speed for his muscles to be able to stretch quickly enough xD.

10 Jul 2017 09:58:41
I'm not for stupid rumours so this is true.

I live in Hull, just been shopping at Tescos In st Stephens (shopping center) . I was walking out and heard some randomer say 'will you be signing for Liverpool mate? ' I looked and who was there? Robertson. All he said was 'we'll have to wait and see but I'd like to think so' then the random fella joked and said 'so you going in sports direct to get your Liverpool shirt then' he laughed n just continued to go to the car park.

I didn't speak to him, wish I did now but was in a rush.

10 Jul 2017 10:31:47
Old school rumour love these.

10 Jul 2017 12:20:50
ok two things.

one he doesn't shop at Tesco, he shops at morrisons.

And two he buying shirt from sports direct instead of the club shop and putting the money back into lfc. disgusting attitude.

edtwo you'll be with me on the hate campaign right? I have some spray paint to graffiti the walls at melwood.

btw this was a joke before anyone gets upset.

10 Jul 2017 12:36:30
In fairness there is probably some truth to what teabag is saying as I too was in St Stephens and saw Robertson so there is a chance that what teabag is saying is true.

10 Jul 2017 12:45:01
Thanks redted unreal how everybody thinks it's untrue? There's too many people who talk a load of rubbish but this is genuine.

10 Jul 2017 13:12:22
Why is it unreal? You said yourself so many people talk rubbish.

10 Jul 2017 13:34:49
This I believe as it tells us absolutely nothing we didn't already know. Big chance of signing Robertson. Glad to hear he actually wants to sign for us. The sooner we get this done the better.

10 Jul 2017 13:53:21
I know this rumour isn't news but I know we are definitely looking at Robertson. I go up to Glasgow a fair bit with work and know from a member of his fiancee's family that we're interested (she's Glaswegian)
They reckon he's a great player (guess they would say that) and would be an upgrade on what we currently have at left back. I've not seen him play so couldn't agree or disagree 🤷🏻‍♂️.

10 Jul 2017 13:59:42
True supered I believe it'll be done this week but who knows, we'll see.

10 Jul 2017 17:04:25
Thanks for the (PG) tip off teabag! This signing has been brewing for a while now ;-)

10 Jul 2017 17:51:39
I'm going to stew over this one for a while and hope is doesn't start getting milked 😮.

10 Jul 2017 19:14:07
I stopped reading at 'I live in Hull' 😉😝.

10 Jul 2017 19:21:44
Whys that bobbyf?

10 Jul 2017 20:52:38
Tis just a joke Ted 👍🏻.

11 Jul 2017 11:55:15
Hilarious joke Bobby -_-.

11 Jul 2017 23:47:43
Let's get it done. What a luxury. Now we have two sides to attack from. We are going to be deadly.

10 Jul 2017 08:12:39
Robertson will be finalized by friday. leeds will sign ryan kent aswell.

10 Jul 2017 09:47:41
I heard Kent was another linked with Nottingham Forest as well and Bogdan.

{Ed002's Note - Certainly Leeds are still keen.}

10 Jul 2017 10:03:31
How's Robertson working out for your FIFA team, DecimusUK?

10 Jul 2017 10:04:34
Crazy Kent hasn't been given a chance with the first team yet played well the last two seasons in the championship for a lad of his age. Is he leaving on loan ed or a permanent deal?

10 Jul 2017 11:57:50
I play 3 cbs smedegaard. can't have clyne and robertson and go for titles can i now. :)

10 Jul 2017 12:30:17
I honestly cannot believe we're letting Kent go!
If this lad can't get a chance with the first team, then who can? What kind of message are we sending to other young lads / potential additions to youth team? I don't remember a youngster who was given a proper chance to become a team regular since Spearing.

10 Jul 2017 12:47:17
Difference is Spearing was poor. And do TAA and Woodburn not fall into the youngsters getting a change category?

10 Jul 2017 17:53:35
Sterling?

10 Jul 2017 21:55:35
Kent did well at championship level but I believe there were concerns that he has a tendency to drift out of matches and not impose himself on them.

10 Jul 2017 22:57:49
Kent isn't good enough, that's the simple reality.
