I thought Fekir hasn't had any injuries issues since the transfer to Liverpool fell through besides a minor ankle one. I've seen some reports that Spurs are in for Fekir. https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2019/05/15/report-tottenham-want-lyons-nabil-fekir/

bewbies posted:why on earth would any one not want de ligt I think there’s an issue with how much De Ligt would cost in terms of fee and wages versus his likelihood of starting and how much the money needs to be spent elsewhere. You have a good point, but the timing is a little unfortunate given how much good fullback cover and better bench attacking options are needed. Liverpool do need to have a plan for Lovren, though. We know the guy’s ceiling and fitness issues and he’s getting older.

EvilHawk posted:I think if Lovren's happy to stay then there's an argument to keep him for another year whilst Hoever gets bedded in, then in the season after have VVD/Gomez, Matip, Hoever. I would like to know where Lovren's wages are at. I forget how many years he has left on his contract too, although I do remember it being extended recently. Maybe back in 2018? I'm psyched for Hoever to get more playing time. Hopefully that starts happening because Liverpool needs to start producing more talent in-house to have a prayer of catching up consistently to City's level. Have any serious fullback links surfaced yet? Clyne seems to be dead and Moreno is almost certainly off to Spain. Robertson and Alexander-Arnold are so important that better coverage in that position is essential.

Bundy posted:We definitely need a centre back to pair with Lindelof. I was hoping it'd be Bailley but every time he plays into some form bits start falling off him. Maybe this is for another thread, but did Mourinho (and/or Jorge Mendes) have to do all the scouting and target-identifying during his time at United? For better or worse, I've been lurking on RedCafe and there seemed to be a lot of debate on why Mourinho kept identifying targets that Woodward pushed back on. Some people blame Mourinho for lacking imagination and others blamed the club for not having a better sporting director in place to deal with all the scouting and recruitment. Maybe successful scouting is just hard. It seemed like Liverpool was on an endless merry-go-round until Van Dijk came and we all know how painful that transfer saga got. I know it feels like Man-U have bought a good number of central defenders, but it might just take one really good CB to make it all look like it has fallen into place.

Bundy posted:He's a clownshoes trashman OP, so bad James Milner was preferred at left back as backup. Moreno needs to be played into form and he was getting pretty good before the past injury that eventually led to Robertson taking his place. I’m not saying he’s perfect, but his weaknesses are most glaring when opposing sides are capable of fighting back and I don’t think that’s as big of a problem for Barca’s domestic cup and league commitments. Liverpool are a different animal.

tao of lmao posted:Wolves interested in Rafael Camacho from LFC. Apparently for around 10 mil, he’s willing to move. Is he any good? Unless you watch the reserve team matches and follow the youth team discussion threads on RAWK and other Liverpool forums, it's hard to have an informed opinion. As far as senior team appearances go, he has only made 1 league and 1 FA Cup appearance. He would probably be left in Liverpool's youth development incubator/limbo until some opportunity opened up due to a senior team injury crisis or he otherwise managed to make a massive development step. https://readliverpoolfc.com/2019/06/05/camacho-could-leave-liverpool-after-tempting-offer-from-wolves/ On the other hand, He's a Sporting Lisbon product (which may be helping fuel Nuno Santo's interest) and Camacho has done well in his U-23 appearances for Liverpool with 12 goals and 8 assists in 20 matches. Liverpool rate him, so I suspect they'll try to put in a decent buy-back clause if a deal goes through.

trem_two posted:Inter have told Icardi that he'll never play for them again, so he needs to go talk to other clubs to facilitate a transfer, but Wanda said that they won't accept any deal and would rather he sit on his rear end for the last 2 years of his contract. What exactly was Wanda demanding on Mauro's behalf? Some unpalatable wage increase? I find the whole saga a bit puzzling since Icardi is otherwise good enough to command a good transfer fee and probably get a salary increase if he moved.

Its not like Fekir's quality was in doubt a year ago, but the way in which the move collapsed and the fact that hes gone from a top 3 French side to a mid-table Spanish one for a third of the money that Liverpool offered suggests that something isn't being said about him. big crush on Chad OMG posted:I thought his knees were extra dodgy? I thought the failure was due to what the medical exam uncovered about Fekir's knees as well. From what I remember, most of the reliable ITKs were saying that Liverpool got so spooked about potential long term issues that they tried to restructure the fee they would have paid to Lyon and Aulas told Liverpool to pound sand.
