Transfer: 2025 Winter Transfer Window - Rumors and Discussion

Ornstein linking Kvara with LFC



Napoli may take Chiesa back in a deal; they’ve been asking for him, and we know what happens when Conte fixates on a player. Feels a lot like the Luis Diaz transfer

I think as weird as it may look. Maybe the chance to eventually play with Giorgi Mamardashvili could sway Khvicha toward LFC.

Khvicha has lost a lot of his shine lately. I’d be weary of spending 100 on him.

Saw something today that Nico Williams is looking for 350k per week. Too much for him right now, but someone might pay it.

I think he got bored at Napoli. Things got weird there after they won Serie A. Apparently he is a long term target, FSG probably like that his market value may have dropped too. Even if he’s lost some shine he’ll give them more than Chiesa

Joyce picking this story up now too. Maybe there is some smoke. We certainly have room for him; especially if Chiesa is a makeweight. We wanted Anthony Gordon, so I’d imagine we have a similar plan for Kvara

Barca have to operate under their own budget. He can stay in Basque if that’s the wages he’s looking for. Plenty of other options including in Barca.

Napoli’s run also teetered towards the end of their campaign. I’m thinking he’s just not that guy. When I watch he hardly gets you out of your seat, given the hype and price I always came away wanting More.

I saw reports of this like two weeks ago, but it was from awful sources, so Ornstein is the first legit one on this rumour. IMHO, if LFC buys Kvara, Salah is gone.

 

[Chimaera]

Doesn’t he play more on the left? I think there’s a chance they say peace to Darwin and play Diaz more centrally

I do think the shine has come off a bit, though statistically the similar to the season everyone raved on. Maybe the fee is less than it was, or maybe Liverpool think they can unlock.

I will say they won’t buy him unless they think he’s the goods or the price is really right.

@cgf can I get a lil scouting report on Tymoteusz Puchacz? He's just come to Plymouth Argyle on a loan-with-an-option from Holstein Kiel. I know basically nothing about him other than that it seems he was a decently regarded prospect who then maybe fizzled? 10 caps for Poland in 2021, then only 5 since. Seems like he did an alright job at K'lautern last year, but thought you might have some Union insight.

@S E P H - if you have any Polish observations, they'd also be welcome.

Not really. He never caught on with 1.FCU, so I've only seen him here and there, and he never stuck out in a good way. Seemed to have adequate physical tools but not sure the mind or skill was there.

I've seen some rumours that Bayern is not worried about Wirtz and are going to buy him in the next upcoming windows. Have you heard anything similar?

Last I read, Wirtz didn't want Bayern, but who knows.

 

[Epictetus]

Isn't he a God for underlying stats? Wouldn't be surprised. Wonder if Napoli has interest in taking Chiesa or Nunez back.

It teetered because they were up by a billion points. Fancy stats are still good. Just think it’s been really weird at Napoli between their title and Conte coming in. Look at Osimhen thing.

You could be right but this is the level they have to be aiming at too. Thought he was good during the Euros too.

I saw reports of this like two weeks ago, but it was from awful sources, so Ornstein is the first legit one on this rumour. IMHO, if LFC buys Kvara, Salah is gone.

Yeah if it wasn’t Joyce and Ornstein I would have left it. Seen some bad ones recently. Don’t think this would be related to Salah though. I think whatever is happening with Salah (and the other two) are kind of separate entities.

Doesn’t he play more on the left? I think there’s a chance they say peace to Darwin and play Diaz more centrally

He’s definitely primary Left side. I kin d of think he could do that Diaz role himself too; but they’d also been sniffing around Left sided players so I think there’s got to be a plan.

Yeah I mean whatever happens happens. Think the underlaying numbers are good enough, just think he is a change of scenery guy. At worst case he’s still a better version of Gakpo

Isn't he a God for underlying stats? Wouldn't be surprised. Wonder if Napoli has interest in taking Chiesa or Nunez back.

They’ve been asking for Chiesa. Here is him compared to him closest fbref comps

Also compares favorably to Rafa Leao and Bukayo Saka. If you compare Kvara to last years version, goals are a bit down (because Conte is funneling everything to Lukaku) but all the play making numbers are up

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

So we all going to pretend this is normal? The hell happened to this website?

If Liverpool are going to spend that much try to pry Nico or Leao?

I think it looks better on Mobile now

I mean, Nico Williams I’d certainly take, but again comes down to other factors.

Does Milan (or Bilbao lol) want Chiesa? Will those players want LFC? Kvara also less wages than those two.

FSG like when these boxes are checked off. Leao might be too old (not for me, but for FSG), Nico might not score enough goals. All these players are good though.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

It’s brutal

Are you in dark mode? I think it’s okay. Threads look okay. Navigation page to page not great. Haven’t been on the hockey side yet

on the first? The site had been pretty crap. So many ads it wouldn’t run even with blockers at work. I’ve cut down way lower activity because of it.

On the second? Maybe it’s who is available. I also won’t be shocked if Diaz moved this summer. He wants to get paid and this season screams “I wanted my move so now I’m gonna show them” since they won’t pay me and it’s not really where I want to end up. There was way too much smoke in those rumors, along with not completely settling / family stuff, and being on relatively low wages for the player.

 

[koyvoo]

Looks virtually identical to me, aside from colour scheme.

 

[Live in the Now]

Yeah it looks awful. Like someone shit all over the pages. But the ad hunting has been destroying this site since like 2012. Couldn't stand it and even though I was an admin I couldn't say jack f***ing shit about it.

 

[Savant]

Yeah same. I’m not noticing the ads as much now though

I mean it was a possibility Diaz was going to go last window so that’s still going to be there. Our makeup is really weird right now. Diaz is the one that makes the most sense. Don’t love him in the middle but he’s been their second best forward. Gakpo is better in the left but he is useless against anyone faster than him. Diogo is made of our glass. Darwin is a mess. Who knows what is up with Chiesa. Salah might leave for free. And still we are favorites for the league right now. Honestly this just reminds me of when we got Diaz from Porto and that worked out pretty well. I mean I’d just buy Isak but that’s not exactly rocket science

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

It’s harder to navigate and the dark mode is just awful to look at

 

[Epictetus]

My Haunter is looking kinda cool in Dark Mode tho

 

[Savant]

I don’t mind the dark mode but the navigation is very bad

 

[Jussi]

Yeah, I'm not seeing any ads either.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Cesc is cooking. Arteta replacement ?

Tbf their owners are rich af and well... who wouldn't want to live in Como? Curious to see how their project evolves over the near future.
