Can wasn't asking too much

He asked for a buyout clause. LFC doesn't do buyout clauses. Ergo, he was asking too much.

I don’t know. I’d be pretty entertained watching Mourinho break Ronaldo by making him play defense first.

[Bone3421 716]

Rumors say he wants to play for mourino again

Be careful what you wish for.

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 943]

That has to be some sort of social experiment to see how many people would believe an obviously false statement.  Either that or Mou and Ronaldo are up to some sort of weird performance art while trying to take Man U for every penny they can.  

[Bone3421 716]

Yeah im not sold it...but its on the rumor mill
All kinds of stuff in the air with shock zidane move
I dont want ronaldo and bale in epl just because after this much time i will take easiest road LFC can get

Would like to avoid the 30 year gap

Courtois will go to Real Madrid, Allison to Chelsea.

CR7 obviously doesn't play defense first, but he plays a shitload of defense.

I watch him most of the time Real plays and in the dying minutes of one of the semifinal matches against Bayern, after he had run around on a high press between the defenders and the keeper, he didn't just walk around at midfield after the keeper had advanced the ball, but snuck back to almost steal it from the defender near side and then busted ass following the ball to the next guy and either knocked it away to his own player or rushed the defender into kicking it out of bounds.

The announcers never mentioned the hustle play at all, but it was what you would expect a 20 year-old to do in the dying minutes if he wanted to see the field again and there was the primadonna himself hustling his ass off on defense with the game in hand. (Perhaps it was late in Game 1.) I thought that it was very impressive and said a lot about his commitment to the team.

de Ligt will go in the 60-65 range. HUGE upside.

[MoJames 8241]

How is city going to get Jorginho for less than manure got Fred?

 

Jorginho's agent is in England and already has an agreement with City. City and Napoli will have new talks in the next hours, with City's current offer €48m + €2m in add-ons, and Napoli wanting more. City are expected to raise their offer to €50m with no bonuses. (gianlucadimarzio.com)

Transfermarket last evaluated him on March 27th, 2018 and they had him at 25 million Euros then. He must have shown well the rest of the season and in National Team friendlies.

Transfermarkt hasn’t kept up with the inflation of transfer prices over the last 3-4 years. Epscially for young players. 

[Cheeseweasel 26437]

"Transfermarket" has VVD valued at 50M. He went for 70M.

Looks like CFC will either have Alisson or Tbo next year.

Come play CL football with LFC, Yaya. We've already got the family connection!

 

[MoJames 8241]

This guy just seems like a horrible teammate. The times I've watched him play I rarely see him make the players around him better.  Who knows. I wouldn't be excited if CFC was linked with him.

[Cheeseweasel 26437]

With Ox out, we need some backup who can play wide. Shaqiri has some talent if Klopp can get it out of him.

Spurs end interest in de Ligt

Quote

Tottenham Hotspur’s plans to overhaul their back line might have gotten a bit more complicated. According to Alasdair Gold at football.london, Tottenham Hotspur are planning to back off their pursuit of teenage Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt, and will not make an approach to sign him this summer.

Yeah, I was really hoping we could pull de Ligt.

[maninblack 7974]

I'm a Shaqiri fan. He's got a bit of an injury bug  but the talent is there. I'd take him in a heartbeat coming off the bench at LFC instead of Ings, Solanke, Lallana, etc.
