Like reading the transfer threads etc, even on the Sky page. Two of the quotes were from BBC and the Mirror
Just done a crafty edit, nobody will notice EDIT............completely missed the point with first reply
Liverpool are in advanced talks with Wolverhampton Wanderers about a summer switch for winger Adama Traore, according to a report from the player’s native Spain. Todofichajes claim that Jurgen Klopp has already called the 24-year-old about the possibility of making a move to the North West, and they say that the Reds are hopeful of agreeing a deal in the coming weeks.
Well that's another bullshit story to add to the countless others there's been with no football to watch.
You do know we've not signed Werner and if we were to sign an alternative player, it wouldn't be a replacement or stand in right?
Usually read them almost daily but stopped reading them during in lockdown as ****all is happening. Journalists know even less than usual too. They'll see it in my post
I think Traore will be as expensive as Werner. Suggestions in the papers earlier this month was that Wolves wanted £60m for him.
I've already pointed out the difference in their respective records, its chalk and cheese. Werner has scored more than 100 goals in the Bundesliga, and will score plenty more in the prem. Traore will be near retirement by the time he scores 100 league goals. It took him 40 games to score his first league goal and has currently scored 4. Werner and Traore are of a very similar age.
Traore will be more expensive because he's already in the PL. He's a key player for Wolves. Werner is for Leipzig too but Wolves don't need the money and that's before the PL TV money is considered. Nor does Traore have a release clause (or so I hear)
Juegen Klopp would not allow Sadio Mane to leave except he asks for transfer. There is this stupid rumours about him leaving which I do not believe..
Liverpool could reportedly turn to Barcelona attacker Ousmane Dembele this summer if RB Leipzig continue to be stubborn about Timo Werner’s asking price – and Luis Suarez’s prediction should convince the Reds to land the French ace.
The more I think about this, the more I think Liverpool are just trying it in to get a better deal. I'm happy to miss out if finances are a issue though, we shouldn't fo anything that jeopardises ourselves.
I would assume all clubs will be very circumspect with their finances as they have to assume that it will be a long time before they receive gate receipts again .
According to Blood Red, Liverpool have not held any talks with Leipzig or the player himself. The position has always been that Werner likes Klopp and Klopp likes him ...... watch this space ......
I think it's one of those where you believe the particular rumour you most want to happen. The source is always important so anything in the express, mirror or caught offside won't have any truth in it. I don't know any sources that are 100% correct but some are better than others because they really do have inside information eg Melissa Reddy.
