tartofmidlothian Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Season's not over, but it's never too early eh? Some interesting stories in the last week, apparently Rodgers wants half a dozen high profile signings for Liverpool and Man U have just about tied up a 30m deal for Luke Shaw from Southampton. They're also after Cavani, Fabregas (again) and possibly Kroos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudiboy Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 There is no way the likes of Kroos and Reus will leave Champions League outfits who they play for week in, week out for a Europa League outfit at best. They may yet sign for them in a year or two but definitely not for next season. It's laughable to think otherwise IMHO. Luke Shaw I can see, Fabregas and Cavani I cannot!!

Bauld Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I think the cheque book will be out from Man Utd. Players you don't think they will sign will sign because they will be on cosmic money. Shaw Cavani Reus Garay All those sorts of players could end up at the club. Even without champions league football their global sales alone will fund plenty of those players. Expect a marque signing from the east like Kesuke Honda to send shirt sales through the roof. That was one of the main reasons for signing kagawa.

CJGJ Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Saying on the radio today that he's informed Southampton he wants to go. Done and dusted next week. For Liverpool though the defence will be the area they will really look to strengthen I think you will see a left back, a centre back and a new right back signed with possibly a new goalkeeper and Lloris at spurs has been mentioned Lots of movement out though as well .. they have players already out on loan like Reina and Borini who will be sold along with others like Aspas, Coates, Samed Yesil, Toure,Jose Enrique...........with Moses and Cissokho returning to their parent clubs.

Bauld Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I am going to put this out there. As the only man probably brave enough to do it. SACRILEGE THEY WILL CRY! Rudi is coming on for 35. Hasn't played a game in anger for the best part of a year or more. We have to consider it a gamble to put that much stock in one God. We really must have a plan B for a goalscoring attacking midfielder who will provide good support to the striker/s. I keep wondering thinking of Joe Cardle. More of a winger but I saw him tear Hibs a new ****hole in the cup and he played very centrally that day drifting out wide only to give an option on the right when on the break. Not going to take over the world but like Rudi he can ping one in the top corner or set up for a tap in just when you think the games beyond you.

Rodgers has blown a lot of cash on very average players and needs to get the key positions right next season Spot on with that last sentence but he's admitted that he was buying cover and now has to buy players that are able to start. Might be more able to with CL football. Liverpool defence is soft as shite and should be their focus. A central midfielder or two wouldn't go amiss for them either.

CJGJ Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 According to reports in the French media, Celtic are interested in bringing Christopher Dilo to the club in the summer transfer window. The 20 year old only joined St Mirren last July but he will be out on contract at the end of June. France Football have reported that Celtic are among a number of clubs who are interested in taking advantage of his current contract situation. He only signed a one year contract with St Mirren who aren?t extending this and therefore he will be a free agent in July. It has also been claimed that a number of French and English sides also weighing up the situation with the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJGJ Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 The Southampton star, 26, will complete his switch before the England players report for the pre-World Cup training camp on May 19. While the Saints will cash in, Bournemouth will be owed 25 per cent of the fee as the result of a deal struck 14 years ago when Saints poached Lallana aged 12 from his home town club's academy. Kop boss Brendan Rodgers is a big fan of Lallana and said: "Adam is a terrific young talent, there is always speculation about young talent." And according to reports, Lallana has now opted to join Rodgers at Anfield. Great deal for Bournemouth considering he left them at 12 years of age !!!!!

jamboinglasgow Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 What about their transfer embargo? because they appealing it, and a judgement on that wont come before the transfer window, it has been delayed until the next transfer window. So Barca can sign players but they have to pretty much prepare not just for this summer but next summer too. So heavy rebuilding work is going to happen.
