Please be true
The transfer market has officially gone mad.
Snap. Their. Hand. Off
I wonder if I'm the only one who rates Valencia. Yes his positioning is not great but he's still the most reliable RB we have. No winger in the league would get past him on a one v one situation and attack wise he offers more than most. We would be very foolish to sell him given his consistent output.
Facing up a defender and passing backwards is output?
I agree. Not the kind of midfielder we need imo. We need to replace Carrick, while Fabregas would be more suitable for the other position in the 4-2-3-1 setup imo, or even in the #10 position. Unless Fabregas has developed some extensive defensive positioning and reading of the game i'm unaware of, i see our resources better spent elsewhere.
Fabregas is pretty good. We need a midfielder like him.
would only make some sense if we werent signing pogba
I really rate him, he gets a lot of shit from the caf he doesn't deserve just for someone to scapegoat, but 30 odd million for him is a fee you can't really refuse at his age if true.
I rate him very highly, I think his positioning is good and he is by far our most reliable rb. Nobody can take him on as he is faster and stronger than all wingers, also has a decent pass on him. Yes his crossing isn't up to much but neither is shaw's and everyone loves him. Valencia is just too hesitant, if Mourinho can add risk to his game he could be a fantastic fullback for transition play and counter attacks. The general opinion of him on here is just daft, people actually wanting Varela to play ahead of him.
LOL at that Valencia story. If you're going to make shit up, why not make it at least slightly believable?
Sure Valencia only has a year of his contract left.
He does that in the middle of the pitch but not in the final third. He usually takes a defender on when he's closer to goal. I can understand that's its frustrating when he passes the ball sideways but some managers like to keep possession around the box and move the ball till there's a clear opening. I'm sure if he was instructed to take on the defender every time he got the ball he would do that but that's not his role in the team as a RB IMO.
His positioning is awful and he has no sense of angles. Being strong and somewhat fast isn't enough, yet somehow those qualities seem to blind people to his many deficiencies.
Dont forget blasting the ball into the defender's shin and getting a throw in.
Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying he is a shit footballer, he is very good when used properly. I just think we need someone with a different skill set than he has at the moment. I think he'd be competing with Rooney/Mata/Mkhitaryan for the #10 spot, when what we need is someone who makes us less dependent on Carrick. That or being the alternative to buying Pogba, in which case I just... I just hope we can do better than buy Fabregas at 29. But like i said, he is a very good player.
Like i said just above, could be an alternative to sign Pogba, i just hope our aims are higher than Fabregas at 29...
If we can actually get money for Valencia, maybe Jose will make us better at selling players too!
Witsel getting tired of waiting for a move to Inter with the possibility of a Premier League move on the horizon.
Inter continue contact with Palmeiras over Gabriel Jesus.
completely agree
Not sure thats a midfield Jose would go for but fair enough
This... exactly. The same can be said for quick wingers where people are easily tricked into thinking that they are great but inevitably end up like Shaun Wright Philips.
I actually thought Valencia had something on Fergie given how he stayed in the team for so long despite being the most limited player I have seen at United but that doesn't explain how he got in under Moyes then LvG.
He is tidy but that very expression is soul destroying when talking about United and what we have been used to seeing on the wings and even full backs traditionally. Tidy isn't enough. I don't believe this for a minute but if there is any truth in this we should drive him there and chuck in Fellaini as a two for one.
I'd be happy about this move if it includes a buy back clause. Pereira deserves first team football.
A bit sad, actually. The fall from grace of Mario is epic, and it would be mad for Liverpool to expect to get much return for him. A complete write-off. The Serie A clubs he has been linked to are an indication of where he currently rates. I believe one of the clubs has been promoted for the first time to Serie A.
Now the Benteke news is funny. I realize there has been mad money figures bantered about (i.e. Deeney, etc), but it's obvious Klopp wants rid, so the price is gonna drop. If they are lucky, a bidding war might allow them to recoup most of their money, but CPC & WHU should do their best to squeeze LFC.
Would be good loan though as long as he gets guaranteed games.
That would seem ideal. Or alternatively, a year long loan would as well.
Would be a fantastic loan move for Andreas.
He would be guaranteed game time at a very high level with the amount of games Leicester will be playing next season.
Could be the making of him as a player.
Wow. Take it.
They were linked with him on loan in January too. If it is a loan I wouldn't mind at all.
