Asier Illarramendi (to Real Sociedad)

[dwaynedibley]

So if we don't get this fella who exactly are we going to get?? Kramer and wanyama are deffo no no's and bender is very very unlikely, who the fuck is left out there that we could feasibly do a deal for in just over a week???

Why Joey Barton of course

 

[GobbyJJ]

Don't think

The only advantage we have over them is we have a better manager and a better keeper, those are the 2 areas where they are lacking

If there was a combined Spurs / Liverpool team it would be something like

Lloris
Clyne
Moreno
Toby A
Sakho
Can
Henderson
Milner
Coutinho
Sturridge
Kane

3 Spurs players to 8 Liverpool

Rodgers and Mignolet are the reason we finished above them

you're are not including the 2, maybe 3, Worldies Levy will sign this week

 

[viktorviktor]

I thought Levy had suggested the new stadium wouldn't impact upon transfer policy? In terms of alternative investment (private equity, sponsorship and now some community support). I guess I'm being a little naive.

I don't think we would fund the stadium by selling players, but it is not unreasonable to think that any profit made these past years would go to the stadium. Or any number of other investmensts - such as our new scouting team.

With regards to the effect of the stadium, Levy said this:
"In respect of driving higher revenues in order to enable greater investment in players, it is clearly evident that we need a ‘game changer’ to lift this Club to the next level - namely an increased capacity stadium."

Why Joey Barton of course

Ironically he's perhaps the 'type' of player we could benefit from - someone who is vocal on the pitch, gets stuck in and maintains some intensity during the match and isn't a 'nice guy' type.

His time out on the sidelines through red cards and peculiar personality (to put it mildly) make him less than ideal. I can see why Redknapp thought he could get the best out of him and I do like following him on Twatter.

Haven't seen much of this guy play, has he got a welcome to Liverpool vid?

everyone has a welcome to Liverpool vid. I think even I had a welcome to Liverpool Vid...

DailyMail reporting Soton in for him

Would be brilliant to piss off liverpool and soton in one go!

Liverpool are not interested in Illarramendi. Lucas may be staying now anyway. No more signings for LFC this window.

Is it To-ela or Toe-la?

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Lloris
Clynne Toby Verts Rose
Milner Henderson
Firminho Coutinho Eriksen
Kane

I've got it at an even split if we put it into our formation.

Sturridge doesnt get in but if it were 4-3-3 and he was fit and inform he probably would.

Trippier's stats look very good against Clynne's but it would be biased at this stage to put him in when he's not currently in our 11.

Gomez is currently playing better than anyone in our back 4 but I'd still like to see him over more games, deffo one that could break into this combined team if he keeps it up.

Thats my honest, unbiased assesment.

 

[rocklink]

That joe gomes guy is much more better than rose

 

[WiganSpur]

If we have set a deadline then unless he chooses Sociedad which I think would be strange then I think he's all ours barring any unexpected circumstances.

I have it on reasonably good authority he is not going anywhere.

 

[y1dk1d]

Surly the same could be said of us!?

Well we've finished top 4 a couple of times since 2010 and should've done so in the 12-13 season. We're a much bigger club than Southampton with a world class stadium on the way. Also I'm not sure they've came above us in my lifetime. We do all of this with little attention so just because they came 7th after spending in the £60m barrier and having pundits wanking eachother off for no reason I don't see why they suddenly see themselves as a big club. We are a lot bigger and they need to know their place in the food chain.

Also I don't think many on here expect top 4 and I don't think it's even the expectation of anyone at the club and rightly so. One step at a time and hopefully in a few years time we'll be ready

Not that this will stop 90% of Liverpool fans accusing Spurs of stealing their targets were he to come to us.... Which will give me many hours of humour especially if he does well.

Found GF's post interesting in that it sounds like RM would be happy to send him to us.

@GuillemBalague: Illarramendi to Real Sociedad for 16m euros. He was never a real target for Liverpool or Spurs. Via @diarioas http://t.co/4RB933FGfz

 

[mws]

Guillemo Balague just retweeted that he is moving to Sociedad. ...

 

[y1dk1d]

Don't believe that, ballbag is pretty shit anyway

So that's another one gone. What is going on, has our list just got shorter or longer?
