Sancho is a top target, #mufc is his preferred option, however he wants UCL and is reluctant to join an unstable club.

PSG set to make €210M bid for Isco, Bale & Kroos

Oh wonderful. What could go wrong? 

[Firemans4Horn 18063]

Looking like Griezmann to Barca for €125m

[Firemans4Horn 18063]

Barca will be close to €300m on 3 players before the start of June. And they’re going to be sorely disappointed with their return on Coutinho with all the shit talking their own club has done on him. 

[HenryJames 66079]

 

[Schulz2.0 28957]

Reputable reports are emerging (David Ornstein and Alasdair Gold) that Spurs are looking to sell Eric Dier and Victor Wanyama this summer.

[MoJames 8244]

I remember when Dier was the next big thing. 

[MoJames 8244]

- [Jugones] : Paulo Dybala's brother confirms that he will leave Juventus this summer and has opened the door to play in Spain.

- Crystal Palace to demand £100m for Wilfried Zaha after he expresses desire to leave for Champions League.

- CHO is close to signing a 5 year contract with Chelsea. Hope.

- Manchester United Eyeing £45m Summer Move For Nicolas Pepe

Playing with Dembélé in front of him and Vertonghen/Alderweireld behind him probably masked some of his deficiencies. Injuries have hurt his career and I think he’s probably become too heavy. 

There’s been talk that Dier wants to play DM and Pochettino thinks he’d be better at CB. It looks like Wanyama is the most likely to be sold but we’d sell Dier if someone offers a good fee.

[MoJames 8244]

Yeah he always came across with his play style as a CB that had moved too far forward.

[Firemans4Horn 18063]

Pepe is going for more than £45m. 

 

Good of luck to anyone that pays £80m or more for Zaha.

Zaha is a fucking idiot for signing his new contract in August. They absolutely have all the cards on him.

David Ornstein had a good article yesterday on the Top 6’s transfer plans.

Ornstein’s shocking lack of knowledge of LFC makes me question anything outside of his Arsenal connections.

He was great but it looks like he’s never going to get fully fit because of knee issues.

[MoJames 8244]

wtf 60 mil

 

[JNip 132]

60 million euros sounds like a mega deal for RM. 

[MoJames 8244]

Bild just responded saying no deal yet.

 

[JNip 132]

The places where I check are saying that he will be presented next week at Bernabeu.

That's a steal. Solid work if true.

Why are outlets spreading bullshit news that RM are after Salah? Hope I’m wrong but I don’t believe that for a second.

No way would he want to be on the same team as (fuck) Ramos.

[JNip 132]

Real Madrid really want Mendy. Sounds like they are in advanced conversations.

Manu/psg are said to be making enquiries on lewandowski with him supposedly dragging feet on new deal with bayern

[Schulz2.0 28957]

Bournemouth sign 20 year old LB/CB Lloyd Kelly from Bristol City for £13m.

[Bone3421 716]

Probably just throwing shit at a wall to see what sticks but.....reports say juventus want klopp
Neymar wants real to sign firmino to play with him(neymar to real rumors) and that klopp would let firmino walk if we win CL

Bunch a bs i feel ...especially the we would let firmino leave based on winning a trophy

[Firemans4Horn 18063]

Lol, Klopp would walk before he lets Firmino go. 

[Bone3421 716]

Dont think its been mentioned....bale says if real want him gone they will need to buy out his remaining 51mil on contract.
Said he will stay and play golf if he has to.
Real supposedly will let him leave for free if team takes his full wages of 17mil per year

Do the rich EPL teams have academies, or do they just consider the poors their academies?

[Jograves 357]

LFC has an academy. 

[HenryJames 66079]

Who on their current roster actually came through their academy?

[mdmost 43004]

Trent Alexander-Arnold, one of the stars of the Barcelona win and a huge future component of the English National Team. Klopp is pretty high on Ben Woodburn, who's currently on loan with Sheffield United. He could see some time this summer before the club decides to keep him or loan him out. 

Edited May 21, 2019 by mdmost

[Jograves 357]

Rhiann Brewster joined at 14. 

Ben Woodburn has played PL minutes. There were a couple of others who've played real minutes for the big club in recent years. Connor McNamara, Martin Kelly, and Connor Coady come to mind. 

[HenryJames 66079]

So one guy?

Trent

ben woodburn

curtis Jones 

rhian brewster

rafa camacho 

nat phillips

Caoimhin Kelleher

harry Wilson (on loan at derby)

ryan Kent (Rangers player of the season)

Gomez came to LFC at age 17 but not sure I would consider him an academy product

 

 

I’d say it’s rare for many top EPL teams to have much talent come up through their academies. With no second division teams for young players to get minutes (like Barca B or Ajax II) it’s more efficient for them to go buy developed talent from other teams

It works both ways – lots of players from the elite PL club academies go on to have careers in the Championship or mid/lower table PL teams.  

[Jograves 357]

Not to mention our greatest player ever came from the academy.
