With Skrtel leaving and Toure contract not renewed, we will have Lorven, Sakho, Matip and Gomez as our 4 centre backs. No Europe means less games so we dont really need too many experience centre back. If Lucas is not sold he can be call upon when needed.�
Agree with you.With Skrtel leaving and Toure contract not renewed, we will have Lorven, Sakho, Matip and Gomez as our 4 centre backs. No Europe means less games so we dont really need too many experience centre back. If Lucas is not sold he can be call upon when needed.
But if Tah is really available, we should go all out for him. Tah-Gomez partnership can be the future pairing for us.

From start already said he isn't priority and Klopp would only want him if Bayern is reasonable with their asking price. Everything according to plan until the Gotze's family decided that they want more money from Bayern.

Low: I don't regret telling Gotze to outshine Messi��The coach told the midfielder to prove he can outshine the Argentine before he scored the World Cup winning goal and he maintains it has not put him under too much pressure�Germany boss Joachim Low says he does not regret telling Mario Gotze to show the world he is better than Lionel Messi.
�
The 23-year-old's development has somewhat stalled�ever since he scored the winning goal in the final of the 2014 World Cup against Messi's�Argentina, as he has struggled to cement his place in Bayern Munich's first team due to injury problems and a lack of form.
�
Low admitted after that triumph in Brazil that he had told Gotze to prove he is�"better than Messi and can decide the World Cup", but he denies that such comments have put the former Borussia Dortmund man under undue pressure to perform ever since.
"Mario is a player with incredible abilities," he said on Saturday. "For a player after such a tournament like the World Cup 2014 to sometimes experience�a drop is not unusual."The I said to him 'Show the world�that you are better than Messi',�I�don't see this as a mistake. I do not regret it. I think Mario can handle it."
�Gotze was heavily linked with a transfer to Liverpool before stating that he was eager to stay at the Allianz Arena and fight for his place under new head coach Carlo Ancelotti.
�
Low, despite�previously suggesting�that a new challenge could benefit Gotze's career, says he has no interest in further�discussing the attacking midfielder's future plans at club level.
�
"I am no�longer interested in the topic of Bayern Munich or his intentions for transfers. What interests me now is the performance," he said.

First 2 should be in his DNA but the last 2 is questionable and IMO, if history repeats itself and he just achieves the first 2 objectives and departs after 3 years like all his previous appointments, he will not go down in history as a managerial legend but instead just short of it.

My take is that Monchi is good at sniffing out value buys which is ideal for clubs who are on a budget eg Pool,�Everton, Southampton, maybe West Ham etc.�Obviously the Glazers would be happy to have him but seriously, can u be a DoF at OT to get value buys?�Just the name Manchester United will push up the price a few notches so don't think he is the ideal candidate for the role at OT.�

He may prove�me wrong though.�United should get a Damian Comolli type of DoF.

Read his interview I shared previously. You can sense that he detest the way some English clubs are doing transfers by throwing silly money around. Will he go to a club that is guilty of that? Unless he is tasked to change the model by Glazers. Even if that is possible, how would Mendes and Mourinho take it? Especially Mendes. He worked so hard to get Mourinho into the job. No way he will let Monchi spoil his plan.

i like him but not at 40m... giroud cost 10m but average about 20 goals a season... 82 goals out of 143 (first team) + 45 (subs) appearance is very decent...... not sure how many strikers in the top few leagues can match that.....

Trading of football players in an integral part of the club's business, contributing to thw bottom line.
�
Pool made many mistakes and bad decisions with players like Balotelli, Benteke, Markovic and some others and is now paying the price of being unable to off load all or some of these underperforming players.
�
On the otherhand, other clubs are circling like vultures over those star performance players. You have seen the likes of Suarez, Sterling all being bidded away because the competition are willing to offer compelling commercial terms to target players and Pool.

So to keep Phillippe Coutinho would be a challenge especially if the bid is commercially good. Tough balancing act not just for pool, but every smaller clubs who feed the football supply chain.

Didn't include Ben Chilwell and Gotze as they are widely known.Marc Bartra has joined Borussia Dortmund from Barcelona.
Tah please. Else extend Kolo
Confirmed approached from Pool:
Jonas Hector

Looks like It is true. Maybe Wenger feels that he is a safer bet over Morata.O23, vardy to arsenal true?
Vardy definitely fit the profile of a clinical striker but my only concern is how well he can transit from a counter attacking style to a more possession based one.
In any case, with Xhaka and Vardy, Wenger is just one CB away to complete his shopping. Stay away from Tah

Nevermind, he is just another of my dream signing for Pool. Just like Firmino and Volland. Got one missed one.
Good or not really subjective. Different team looking at different type of CBs of various strength and weakness. I
Just feel that he is good for his age, the maturity of play and the physical size, which I feel is what Pool needs. Cannot always get bullied by tall burly strikers in the box.
Is ok you dunno him. Good to know only he signs also. Then no disappointment of not getting

Bid of �12m accepted. Talking to player's rep.How close is it or jus rumours?
Not going to see much problem with this. Player said in March that he wanted to stay at Cologne but a call from Klopp will make him reconsider.

I would choose the team that will offer me a better chance of silverware n obviously that would be Arsenal for sure. Only reservation I would Hv if I were Vardy is sufficient playing time. The other factor I would consider is how serious Wenger is to win the league. Based on the purchase of the Swiss guy n now paying good money for Vardy, I think he has listened.
Lineker is ex Leicester so what he says obviously is tongue in cheek. Money whilst important can't buy me medals, Hv to earn it n show my grandchildren when I retire. Obviously there will be players who value money over other criteria, I won't criticise them. To each his own I suppose.

TOP STORY: First Vardy, now Mahrez?Enthused by the progress they have made in their bid to sign Jamie Vardy from Leicester, Arsenal are set to launch an ambitious bid to add�Riyad Mahrez�to their squad too.

TOP STORY: Gunners ahead in Mkhitaryan raceThis could be a very good weekend for Arsenal fans -- the�Sun�reports that the Gunners have taken the lead in a "�20 million battle with Chelsea for�Henrikh Mkhitaryan."
Borussia Dortmund midfielder Mkhitaryan, the report says, is keener to move to the Emirates than Stamford Bridge after failing to sign a new Dortmund deal -- but Tottenham are interested and could yet have a say in his destination.
Dortmund have been trying to tie Mkhitaryan to a new deal since the turn of the year, but the 27-year-old has yet to put pen to paper and is about to enter the final 12 months of his contract.
In yet more Arsenal news, goalkeeper�David Ospina�could be on his way out after Turkish club Besiktas revealed an interest in signing him.
The Sun reports that they tried and failed to bring him in last year and quotes sporting director Gokhan Keskin as saying: "We are targeting him."

Interesting article on Arsenal's need to change tactics if they sign Vardy.

It is true that Arsenal's intricate build up play may not suit Vardy but on the other hand it gives them a different option to their often predictable style of play. Seems like Wenger is rally a changed man and not that stubborn after all?

Put Sanchez to the left and deploy a 4-2-3-1. That would be the strongest team on paper. 4-2-2-2 is quite an unorthodox system and I do not think Wenger will try it in his final season.
Giroud or Vardy? I am not too sure as it will depend on how well Vardy cope in a possession base style of play.

Both could leave. Depending on offer. In gist, Wenger willing to let both leaves if the right offer comes in.
As for Stones, he is a good fit for most big teams. Question is, is he ready to take the step up. Frankly speaking, if Stones is to move, very unlikely to Arsenal. Wenger won't partake in a bidding war.

Xhaka seems to be the tough guy in MF which Gunners have been crying out for and will rotate with Coq so that one settled.

Striker if Vardy signs and rotating with Giroud also settled which only�leaves CB.

Stones would be ex for sure but if Wenger wants to go out with a bang, he has to spend�BIG.�
He has shut me up by paying good money for Xhaka and possibly Vardy (being almost 30yrs) and he can shut me permanently by going for Stones or at least bid for him rather than back off once the bidding starts which has been his trademark you are right.
�
He can recoup some of the money with Ox, Walcott and Gibbs going so not as if it's such a hugh outlay. Prove me wrong AW!!

Gonzalo Higuain to Liverpool: Reds on verge of sealing stunning deal

[take it with a container full of salt]
�

100% rubbish lah. Don't even need salt�
Actually Arsenal's style during Anelka's period suit Vardy quite well.Interesting article on Arsenal's need to change tactics if they sign Vardy.
It is true that Arsenal's intricate build up play may not suit Vardy but on the other hand it gives them a different option to their often predictable style of play. Seems like Wenger is rally a changed man and not that stubborn after all?

Klopp watching Argentina vs Chile.
Who is he watching?
�
Ha..ha... he was looking at Gonzalo Higuain ..

Quote : Gonzalo Higuain to Liverpool: Reds on verge of sealing stunning deal
�
The Napoli striker has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months with Jurgen Klopp said to be a big fan.
�
And according to BeIN Sports [via The Sun], a deal is close to being finalised.
�
Higuain netted 36 goals in 35 league appearances last term, breaking a 66-year goalscoring record for the most goals in a Serie A campaign
�
Jose Mourinho has been keen to bring Higuain to Old Trafford as he looks to land a marquee signing, but reports last month claimed Higuain was keen to work under Klopp instead.
�
Higuain is under contract until 2018 but is reportedly keen on a move to Anfield.
�
The 28-year-old was in action for Argentina against Chile in last night's Copa America match and Klopp was reportedly in the stands to watch the game.
�
Klopp is set to bring in a host of fresh talent this summer as he looks to build a squad capable of challenging for the Premier League title.

Actually Arsenal's style during Anelka's period suit Vardy quite well.
You are right as Anelka is a speedy player playing off the shoulder of the last defender and thrives on through balls like Vardy�but Arsenal don't play that game now. It will be interesting cos Vardy is not a typical Wenger signing. Older and not�the kind of�striker to hold up play and not really suited to the passing, build up play which Arsenal favours.
�
Despite my often criticism of Wenger, I do respect him, just that I don't agree with his penny pinching ways which I feel inhibited his team's progress. Anyway, we shall see in this interesting transfer window who goes where as a lot of top teams needs rebuilding and there's only so much of quality players available.

It is from that rag.
I still don't believe Liverpool will be able to afford.
Anyway, just for fun of it.

O23, Is Jonas Hector to Pool a rumour or a done deal?
Got it from a trusted source that a bid was lodged last Wed. Last Friday, some reports suggested that bid was accepted that Pool will proceed to discuss terms. However, Hector might want to leave it till after Euro to complete the deal.
I am sure that Jonas is one of the LB we are interested in. Chilwell being the other.
Whether is it done deal or not I really don't know. We are so damn close to getting Gotze and that can even change at the last min.
Personally, I think it will be done after Euro.

Won't have bidding war as he has a release clause. Challenge is to convince him to join us.
Klopp left after that.
2 conclusions can be drawn:
1) he was there to watch Higuain;
2) he hates to watch Augero.

At Leicester, he is a big fish in a small pond though they are the champions.
�
At Arsenal, he would be a fish amongst many similar fishes of which some are even bigger than him. How�to choose? Depends cos he could struggle at Arsenal or he could step up his game playing with better players and the sky's the limit. This question I don't think even he can answer.
�
Some players thrive in a bigger stage whilst some will not do as well for sure. Other reasons he has to consider is his family, playing time etc. End of day, he has to make up his mind. Staying put may mean no more chance of silverware if as expected Leicester doesn't challenge for the title again though this is subjective and he might regret this but then again going to Arsenal and if he doesn't get enough playing time may mean he may not play for England again, wha how to choose????

You nailed the answer.
�
Since there is only a verbal agreement between Vardy and Arsenal with no immediate follow-up, the uncertainty will only be settled after the Euro'2016 or after England players pack their bags earlier if they fail to progress.
�
During the intervening period, what will happen nobody can predict.
�
Not too sure Vardy can adapt with Arsenal's style of play though.

There is something wrong when arsenal transfer news are dominated with Leicester players
When the bid came in, he say settle before Euro party.
Now current company say up 50%, suddenly u-turn.
Don't tell me he's using Ramos method when he was trying to ask for a pay rise last season and purposely lure Manu in to do the dirty marketing job

To be fair to Vardy, when Arsenal triggered his release clause and made the �120k, he probably want it to resolve quickly as he is open to the move. However, once Leicester made the counter offer to match, he has now a major decision to make.
Since there is a major tournament coming, it is absolutely fair for him to hold back on the decision and focus on the tournament. That's very professional of him imo.
If Arsenal is keen, they can wait for him for a decision. If they don't want to wait, always can pursue another target.

How much did Coutinho cost pools then?�
Difference between Spanish teams n English teams esp the mid to lower table ones are that they have no choice but to groom their own talent n this means they are more willing to give youth a chance unlike their richer English counterparts who want instant success so willing to buy ready made talent esp since to drop out of the EPL is very costly!
At the top of the EPL even worse, almost no chance for youth to shine unless u instantly settle down like Rashford but that is an exception. Most young players need more time to stand out.

I'll state the obvious.�
�
A footballer's career is short. They have roughly 15 years. Vardy has about 5 years left, give or take a year or two.�
�
Everybody has different desires in life -�
Some want to experience a different shirt, a "big club" atmosphere.�
Some like to be a cult hero at their home-town club.�
Some prefer even money, regardless of the millions they already make.�
Some dont mind sitting on the bench, to win a few trophies.
�
What Vardy decides, is his prerogative. I can't say what I would do, because I have never had the good fortune of being in his position. I can only wish him all the best. He earned that right to have a choice to make, and thoroughly deserves it.�
�
�
�
�
�
�
Just like Man U fans deserve Mou. Match made in heaven.�
From a conversation with someone at Liverpool yesterday, they have no interest whatsoever in Higuain. Not bluffing. Just an absolute non-starter.
Klopp is happy with the 4 strikers he has. Rethink needed if get big offer for Benteke. But even then, a new striker won't be a top priority
Oliver Kay, The Times
Manchester United best buy is Zlatan Ibramhimovic, only 33 and damn loud attitude, like to see him scoring inside the 6 yards box�
�
Who is next ? defender or Central D?

�
� Jaime should stay In Leicester to indicate his goals are real stuff, ny jumping ship does not warrant the desire to win UCL, Lei with Claudio already in Champions League, what and who else to prove unless money matters.

If what Oliver said is not convincing enough, how about this:
Napoli�s President, Aurelio De Laurentiis, has made it clear Higuain won't be allowed to leave for anything less than �94.7m.

Zlatan unlikely to be announced before 30 Jun.
Closest is Bailly. If reports are accurate, just left medical to be done.

Yes, no release clause for Stones.
All depends whether they are OK to live with an unhappy player and missed out on the chance to cash in. Stones' contract will run till summer of 2019. By then, he would be eligible to walk away on a free and Everton would not even be compensated by a tribunal as Stones will be 25 by then.
Last summer they can play hardball as Stones need to perform to keep his England chance. This summer however, I think Stones will have an upper hand in negotiation.

Agreed bro and don't they end up like silly Dortmund who refuse to sell when they can and only sell at the last year or worse still let them go for free!!
�
I respect Everton for wanting to make�a stand but they have to be realistic that if Stones wants out despite persuasion to stay then they shld just sell him at the highest price possible and move on. Pool also faced a similar situation with Sterling last season.

Plenty of clubs wants Stones and they can easily get 40mil+ for him as most of the top EPL sides are in the market for a CB and there is even talk of Barca wanting him!

Are there any other small teams at Copa? Hope he becomes top scorer. Then can ask for 50m pounds. He's not consistent, but should be worth more than sterling...

Must give credit to Saints academy though as their conveyor belt has produced gems, coupled with shrewd buys like Long, Pelle, Mane, Wanyama, Bertrand�and Foerster, all full fledged current Internationals bought at reasonable prices but I'm not sure how long this kind of policy will sustain them.

Replacing a world class player is never easy. Made worse when you don't have a top manager to attract a capable replacement. Pool are aware of Suarez' intention to leave at least 12 months in advance. Even with such a lead time, we couldnt secure a replacement. Amateurish

Dortmund has Zorc, Atletico has Berta.
The roles of these guys is to have succession planning for every positions ready. Planning in advance and making sure they won't be caught out by surprise. So when there is a playing indicating that he is considering leaving, recruitment process kicks in.
When all these is being done by the manager, it will firstly take away his time from coaching and the validity of the wanted players is only as long as the manager in job. Once manager change, entire wanted list change. Different players for the different ideas of the managers

I do see the benefits of this method and obviously it works well as proven by Dortmund, AM, Sevilla etc but doesn't it work the other way round as well? ie when a manager leaves, his replacement must either have a similar idea or willing to work with the players at his disposal/provided for by the DoF.

Problem is some Managers have their own ideas and will want their own kind of players and I believe most of the top Managers are like that sometimes due to ego I think.
�
The younger Mgrs like De Boer,�Emery and even Klopp seems receptive to this DoF but I think JM for sure and maybe even Pep, Wenger(?) may not be so keen on this. One established Mgr I think who is adaptable is Ancelotti and that's why I personally feel he is one of the top Mgrs if not the top Mgr in the business.
Liverpool are not the only team raiding Bundesliga.
City want Aubameyang and San�.
Utd and Arsenal want Mkhitaryan
�
my only question (to BPL clubs) will be...
�
Why take soooo looong to find out now?.. GBL is one of the bestest league to find talent at cheap cheap since many seasons ago.. lol..
Yes, to make the transition easy, the incoming manager must have a similar tactical mindset as the outgoing. DoF will shortlist those similar managers. In fact, it is the DoF job to plan for the next head coach as well, in case the current one is poached.I do see the benefits of this method and obviously it works well as proven by Dortmund, AM, Sevilla etc but doesn't it work the other way round as well? ie when a manager leaves, his replacement must either have a similar idea or willing to work with the players at his disposal/provided for by the DoF.

This has to be driven top down, ie owner must put their feet down to push for this change. Those managers no matter how big the name they are, if they can't work with a DoF, will not be considered for the job.
If the club wants continuity, that's the only way to go.

Agreed on�continuity and also most cost efficient for sure.
�
This is a revolutionary change�for EPL so may take awhile for it to catch on and to make matters worse, British are sticklers of tradition. It will take�a brave top EPL club to be the first to implement this cos the pool of replacement Mgrs will be restricted to similar mindset replacements and the one small drawback is that the power shifts from the Manager to the DoF which as I mentioned, the big ego Mgrs of today except possibly Ancelotti and Klopp may not be able to accept this.
�
I see this taking off in the mid table teams but it will be tough for the top ones. Southampton actually sort of doing this currently with Pochettino, Koeman and now likely De Boer, all Mgrs with almost the same mindset and willing to work with DoF, my 2 cents....

Yes bro, so far only Sotons have taken the leap. Beside the traditional mindset, the other main stumbling block is the difficulty of finding that DoF. Person holding that post seldom leaves and has strong tie to the club. Thats why when Monchi said that he wants to leave Sevilla, it causes a stir in the football fraternity.
Not sure how true but apparently Spurs looking at him too. Nothing new.
Breel Embolo seemingly is attracting interest from Man Utd as well.
This will be the biggest transfer of this summer if it happen.
Real Madrid want Paul Pogba. There should be a couple of players on Real's books that could help the deal.

It is simply amazing. Who needs a full back to charge down the wing if you have a central mid who can whip in a deep field cross like that

That would be good for Leicester.
They will be finding it tough to keep hold of Kante. Man Utd, Arsenal and PSG are all waiting to pounce.
De Laurentiis on why Zieli?ski prefers Liverpool to Napoli: "Maybe he's never been to Naples, or he just loves The Beatles. If I were Zieli?ski, I�d run here. I�d say, are you not interested in playing Champions League with Sarri as your teacher?"
No UCL but still want to join. This is the type of player Klopp wants.
The dm from southamton apparantly like to reunite with poch.
11m deal?? Sounds bull. So low meh.
Good cover for dier. Competition for dembele.
I say sign him.
If Spurs can get him for �11m, will be a steal.Spurs to sign wayawaywa... nb. I dunno how to spell his name anyway..

They must act fast though. Leicester eyeing him as Kante replacement. First choice and UCL might be tempting.
Sule: "Here I have my usual environment, the proximity to my family in Frankfurt. To develop myself, I need playing time & a coach who trusts me. I have that. He knows me well & knows where & how to make me better."
Fair play to him.
2/3 of the targeted CBs ruled out. Left one.

�
Lukaku and De Bruyne never given chance at Chelsea under JM and look where they are now?
Initially I also have serious doubt regarding signing an oldie like Ibra who's even older than Rooney...
�
However, JM could have his reason for this move... yes, Ibra will be a short term fix... from the report, likely be just given a 1 year contract... with his experience/skill, he should be able to pose more goal scoring threat that Rashford... which even though he has shown much promise, Man U shouldn't put too much pressure on him & make him the main lead striker if we don't sign another one.. so this 1 year will give him time to develop. He will still have some chance to play, likely in those cup competitions (League Cup, FA or even the Europa) & perhaps rotate on the wing with Lingard.
�
Martial likely to con't on the left wing or can be the striker if Ibra got injured or rested... Rooney likely be moved to midfield or just behind Ibra... so this leave little opp for Mata which is why there's report of him being ship out...
�
Depay... don't know where he can fit (at this point, he's behind Martial, Lingard in the pecking order for the winger role)... unless he can impress JM during pre-season... else another one likely out the door.
�
Januzaj another one who at risk of being let go... hopefully don't come back to haunt us like Progba�

Klopp identified wingers as key signings this summer. Dembele top target missed. Few others explored. Looks like Mane has gotten the nod from Klopp. Not surprising though. Klopp wanted him from RB Salzburg when he was in BVB.

Not sure is Sotons are keen. They are looking at Redmond.

�
Think you should be asking the Pool board this question rather than me.
�
I've always advocated paying the market price for a player the Mgr wants so if Klopp wants Mane and he wants to join Pool, they shld pay up but of course not carrot head prices. 20 -25mil is a fair price in my books but not more than that. Just my feeling on Pool being scarred by Benteke n Balo signings that they have a "once bitten, twice shy mentality".�I'll be more than happy to be proven wrong on this.
�
To be fair, money is tight now due to Anfield redevelopment so time will tell if Pool pays up.
I have already been proven wrong by Wenger on his signing of Xhaka�this window.

In gist, I trust Klopp. If he wants Mane, I will be happy that FSG just pay up. Main stand development won't affect. The naming right will cover the cost.
Also, I think RW is a priority signing, hence Klopp willing to pay more for him. Zielinski on the other hand, he insisted not to match Udinese asking price although the difference is only �3m
