If there's too much interest in him, like there seems to be, I prefer to shy away a bit on players like this. Just like Lukaka, so many teams seem interested and it will just drive the price up. Lukaka seems like he will go for upwards of 25 million when he's really not that established. M'Villa is the same thing and French players don't often make the best impression in the prem. Obviously Nasri is succesful and there have been a few defenders who have had good spells like Evra and Gallas, but I'm not too sure about this guy until he gets a bit older.

umm... one of the best players to ever brace the premiership was french, Thierry Henry.

Patrick Vieira too, Marcel Desailly, Makalele, Nicolas Anelka

a lot of french do make it in the prem and a lot don't. Its all about quality in the end

Ya I know that. But right now, please name any French players in the prem that are extremely successful. At this moment in time there is one- Nasri. You could try to say Evra but his prime has come and gone. They don't come in bulks, They are a very rare breed and playing well in the french league means nothing. Ngog was successful in the french league.

I'm just saying when there is interest like this they always go for way too much. Look at Ramires for Chelsea. He's been alright but he cost like what? 30? Zhirkov? 30 million again and he's garbage. Lukaka will go for a lot and I just don't think it's worth the risk. He's a decent player in the Belgian league... Jova was better than he's playing and Jova has been garbage this season.

Ya M'Villa could be good, but if we have to pay 25 million for him then it's not worth the risk.

You tripping?

Sorry confused them with somebody else, both actually sold for just below 20 million pounds, but with add-ons they both look at potentially 23 million pounds (Ramires, not Zhirkov)

Anyway... my point is that players go for way more then they are worth when there is hype around them. If we end up buying Adam in the summer, I worry how much it will cost us.

When Benitez was in control we were one of those clubs too... Johnson for 18, Aqua for 20 and there wasn't even real hype around him, Keane for 20. Even Babel ended up costing us more then we sold him for. We just paid too much.

The Rumour of the day for me is that west ham fans are sure we are going to buy Green in the summer.

We have been linked a lot lately with a loan move for Bojan Krkic with a possible permanent transfer. 20 years old, has scored over 25 goals for Barca already in about 100 games. Not the best ratio for a striker, but an amazing ratio for a striker that's 20 years old.

Would be very happy to sign him on loan. He's a really good player with a lot of potential. He's definitely a rising start, and even tho Barca don't want to sell him, it's hard to hold on because he's made known his anger at lack of play time. Barca have young enough strikers tho, so he'd have to wait quite awhile to play. This would be a great loan signing in my opinion.

Galatasaray star finally set to make Anfield move?

Liverpool will this summer hope to lure Galatasaray’s highly regarded attacker Arda Turan to Merseyside. Anfield boss Kenny Dalglish and director of football Damien Comolli have earmarked a move for the adaptable playmaker as they seek to bring in effective creative options to help boost the club’s attacking prowess.
On the subject of a possible move to Liverpool the pint sized Turkish international has made it clear he would be very interested by stating “As I always mention, Liverpool attracts me because of their tradition. In Europe, I am a Liverpool supporter, so if I go to play in Europe, I would like to play for them.”
Having been linked with a move away from his Istanbul club for the best part of three years, Turan appears to be nearing a much discussed exit as Galatasaray seek to balance their books and give in to the flair player’s demands. Arda Turan is something of a cult hero at the Turk Telekom Arena but his ambition to leave the club have come to a head as the club struggles in mid table under new boss Gheorghe Hagi.
Liverpool may well look to Turan to occupy a wide midfield role, a position he is said to prefer, as current options in these roles have not borne fruit. Joe Cole, Milan Jovanovic, Dirk Kuyt and Maxi have all been placed in these positions without managing to make much of an impact and Ryan Babel was sold to Hoffenheim as the Dutchman also failed to provide the Premier League side with natural width.
Galtasaray will listen to offers of around €20m (£16.8m), which would seem a fair price for a player with vast experience and great potential. The likes of Chelsea, Newcastle United and Juventus are all also said to be interested in signing the 24 year old.

Would love this player at Liverpool, can play on both wings and behind the striker and says Liverpool are his team in europe, enough said.

YES please.

Shane Long linked with Liverpool ? I like the guy, think he's got a tremendous attitude.....but dunno if he's the right quality for LFC

by **lakes10** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 7:52 pm

we was linked to a few southend united youth players, not sure how the club will stand on this now as we beat them 9-0 or something like that. lol

also heard that we have been liked to Nathan Dyer....ok i had to look him up as i had not heard of him before, turns out i have seen him play a few times lol

by **ethanr** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 8:55 pm

Anybody hear anymore on Kjaer? I know we were linked with him and Wolfsburg supposedly will let him go for around 10. really need a good CB and that would be a great deal for us.

by **centarec** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 10:31 pm

I don't rate Kjaer that highly.. Would rather have Scot Dunne for the same money

by **ethanr** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 10:40 pm

I dunno. Kjaer has done well for wolfsburg and he's only what, 21? A couple years in the prem and he could be one of the best if he properly develops.

No he wasn't! 1 goal in 18 games in 2 seasons in the league, plus 2 goals in one cup game.

Well apparently he was because Liverpool FC signed him. The scouts must have seen something in him. Scoring goals isn't the only way you can make a name. Alonso is considered one of the best players in the last decade and he very rarely scored. Yes, I know he's a mid and n'gog is a striker, but still, he was like 18 years old.
