Transfer: 2024 Winter Transfer Window - Open Window Discussion

[Savant]

Was the Best Man for a high school pal who was initially from Plymouth. I don't think it's.... even slightly... a vacation destination... Lmao...

They better not sell Gallagher lol

Well said. One my my work mentors is from Sheffield and basically told me (to put it nicely) it was his life goal to leave there as soon as he could; he left as a teenager

 

[Jack Straw]

I take him over Maddison. Way more versatile and higher work rate.

As others have commented, depends on what you're looking for. Maddison has been fantastic as a 10 for Spurs. Gallagher would compliment him very well imo.

 

[luiginb]

I hated Kehrer before it was cool.

And I like Gally a lot but let's not go crazy with the Maddison comparison.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Get him in quick.

 

[cgf]

Napoli are reportedly looking at one time Leipzig prospect Lazar Samardzic to replace soon to be Leipzig midfielder Eljif Elmas.

 

[Savant]

Speaking of Elmas and Leipzig.

With that deal sealed Leipzig and LFC had mutually agreed to terminate the Fabio Carvalho loan. Carvalho back at Liverpool for at least the time being. Feels like he probably goes out on loan again

 

[JPBolts]

heard that Matty Cash might be off to Chelsea.... lol

 

[cgf]

- Ko Itakura being linked to LFC
- Klostermann close to joining Fiorentina
- Freiburg is going to bring in Leopold Querfeld

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

heard that Matty Cash might be off to Chelsea.... lol

As if I didn't have enough of a reason to hate him.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

It feels pretty telling that even with all the fan uproar over the Gallagher rumors Chelsea's brass hasn't put out anything (even unofficially) to quell down the talk. I think he's going to get sold. Nuts.

 

[Savant]

LFC have a healthy left back on the roster!

They have recalled Owen Beck from his loan at Dundee.

Supposedly was having a great year in Scotland and player of year caliber season for Dundee (similar to Conor Bradley’s Bolton loan). Still very much a bandaid though. I’d imagine he plays the FA Cup game that LFC aren’t going to be too arsed about but he isn’t going to be a threat to play in the league unless Joe Gomez explodes; and if we know anything from Klopp, we know he is going to ride Gomez like Seabiscuit until Robertson is healthy so he very well could get hurt.

Saw the Ko Itakura link today. It’s a weird one. Obviously he won’t be able to cover CB in January while he is at the Asia Cup with Endo. Also don’t really think he is profile that they go for at CB; but would be very hard to complain about adding him. The CB that probably fits their profile best (that might be gettable) is a guy like Pavlovic at Salzburg; (if they go abroad) but either way would be good to get a body in.

Fabinho and Bobby Firmino at Anfield today, let’s go bring him back too.

I think their business in the summer made it so they actually have to.

 

[Ceremony]

Owen Beck has been very good, yes.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

I think their business in the summer made it so they actually have to.

I think that's 100 percent what it is. There's no financial path forward with him on. I can't imagine any other reason to sell him, especially in terms of relations with the fanbase. I guess from Chelsea's POV they have to believe in the midfielders they brought in and have to see Gallagher playing a position of relative strength for them.

 

[Chimaera]

Especially since CL looks like it might not be likely.

 

[Evilo]

Liverpool interested in Leny Yoro.
Lille asking for 90M.

 

[Chimaera]

90?!? That seems like a truck load for a kid. (I don’t know him from anything so who knows).

 

[Savant]

Liverpool interested in Leny Yoro.
Lille asking for 90M.

I mean, Yoro would be amazing but (rightfully or wrongfullly) we aren’t paying 90m

I think Yoro is great but we aren’t going to give him the minutes Lille has so might be tough to keep him on that same trajectory without as many games

 

[luiginb]

I highly doubt anyone is gonna pay the highest price ever for a defenseman for a 18yo kid no one had heard of before this year.

Everything over 30 mil is a risk.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Boehly

 

[luiginb]

Boehly

Anyone normal

If you hadn't heard of him before this year, it's on you.

But of course he won't cost 90. That's Lille asking price. I do expect more than 60 for him though.

Yoro is a phenom.
He's not quite in the Zaire Emery club, but he's incredibly good for his age. Like generational good.
Would people pay 90 for Zaire Emery? Eyes closed they would.
60 would be absolutely normal right now.
And that's not counting the ridiculous EPL money where you can spend 100M on a clown like Antony.

 

[Chimaera]

I don’t think Liverpool have the budget right now for that investment. Maybe if it’s installment heavy.

What United will pay for trash isn’t really part of the discussion of rational thinkers

LFC absolutely have budget. It’s a matter if they pull the trigger or not. They had a nine figure bid accepted for Caicedo; even if you count the leftovers from Caicedo minus (Gravenberch + Endo)…there’s money

 

[Chimaera]

Not for 90 million on an 18 year old defender they don’t.

They have money and they’re not broke, but some of that money for Caicedo was spent.
