AVFCforever1991 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Bayern were in for him, he opted for Dortmund. Probably a smart choice considering bayern had already signed Shaqiri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Shaqiri's a winger, Reus is a "hängende spitze" (second striker). Had Bayern been successful in their bid I imagine he'd have been playing just off Gómez's shoulder, ahead of Müller and Kroos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwpzxjor1 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Lots of rumours on Liverpool message boards about Walcott to Liverpool. Odds have crashed down too. One year left on his contract, not too happy there, Wenger seemingly preferring Chamberlain.. could be some truth in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toela65 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I don't know if we are still interested now but I do know that if Dalglish had of stayed Walcott would more than likely a LFC player now, as would Diame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toela65 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Okay you've convinced me. I dismissed it as nonsene when I read it in the press, but now some random guy on an internet forum has made it very clear that it's a "fact" there isn't much left to say. Given internet ITKs accuracy when it comes to more general predictions, such as transfers, there is no reason for me to doubt that they'd not know the very private details of contract offers. I bet just after your financial guys put together the package to offer Syg, they made sure a few photo copies were distributed to guys who may or may not decide to share it on internet forums. And i definitely woulnd't dispute the numbers you've out forward for our offer, as I'm sure you put your best effort in to your "guess," which is good enough for me. Do you believe it now? Or is it coming straight from Brendan Rodgers mouth (and confirming everything I posted as to why we didn't sign Siggy above btw) still not enough proof? http://www.liverpool-kop.com/2012/07/its-his-loss-lfcs-brendan-rodgers.html The interview this came from will be put on YouTube soon if you want to watch it to make sure it happened and deluded LFC fans aren't inventing it. Secondly, I am not some 'wannabee' ITK. I don't go on Twitter or any LFC forums and lawd attention. If I hear the odd bit that is of interest to another club (like when LFC where after Downing last Summer) I pass it on to their fans in good faith and will, as if it was the other way around and an opposition fan got info of interest to LFC fans I would appeciate them passing it on. Trent one of the bosses on this site can back up the credibility of my source as I passed on everything regarding the Downing deal last summer to him which was proven. If you go back in this thread to about the end of May there will be a post from Trent attesting to this. You don't have to believe it as it goes against your agenda, but that still doesn't mean it isn't true, because it is. He done the right thing. If a player you are close to and personally owes a lot to you agrees a deal with you, and then at the last minute asks for more money, why should Rodgers have give him that money? If he did that to me I'd be highly offended! No all that tells you is that Liverpool offered him a similar deal to Swansea. It doesn't tell you anything about our offer at all. It doesn't confirm your guess in the slightest and certainly doesn't support the ludicrous claims that we are paying him £70,000 per week. It doesn't tell you Syg left for money at all. All it really tells you is that Liverpool tried to sign a player on much lower terms than would be the norm and the player rightly felt insulted or under valued. It sounds as if Liverpool made it seem as if they didn't really want him. It's got nothing to do with the offer we made him. If you were offered a job at a company where other people recruited to do the same job with similar experiences were offered far better starting salaries, would you feel as if they really valued you? All this shows is that for some bizzare reason your manager seems to be involved with the financial offers and should be excluded from now on. You are blinded by affection for the club Gylfi signed for and can't be objective about it. The only people who don't think the higher money he was offered by Spurs played a part in his (and his Agents I should add - big factor and same agent as Bales - He is an odious greedy cretin) choosing of which club to sign for, are a very small minority of deluded Spurs fans who sound just as bad as the retards on RAWK (I'm sorry but I hate that site and how it misrepresents the vast majority of LFC fans). Spurs currently having a better team at the moment is just a bonus for him. I don't need to prove my source on this again as BOF said its your deluded problem not mine but I know for a fact and can prove as such that Gylfi was offered at least £40,000 by Spurs. I don't even understand why this is a big deal for Spurs fans to accept? It means NOTHING about either club. Its just a fact of football that 99% of the time a player will go where the money is. Thats nothing new. We beat Spurs to a few signings the last couple of years more than likely just because we offered them considerably more than Spurs did in wages. It's no big deal. Money talks.

Toela65 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 In other news, LFC have made a deal worth about 10m to Roma for Borini. Balls in their court now. No nothing about the player but the highlights I have seen he looks like a poacher type forward and seems to be very mobile and makes good runs. Not done to bad at Roma I'm told and Swansea fan seem to rate him and think he'd fit in with Rodgers system. I am very cautiously optimisitc but he is a bit of an unknown quantity although he is still on 21. Anyone watch Italian footy or remember him from Swansea and got any opinions/info?

Zatman Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 they call him new Inzaghi in Italy but he only signed for Roma last week so be a bit wary of the deal myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 He was part owned by Roma and Parma, Roma bought out Parma's half of the contract - presumably so they could sell him. He didn't really cut it at Chelsea, but went on loan to Swansea so Rogers obviously saw something there to think he can make an impact at Liverpool.

Toela65 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 looks like there is something to the Borini to LFC from Roma rumours: De Marchi (Borini's agent) "Would the player want to go to #LFC? I don't want to commit myself as there will be more news in coming days" Unless he is going to say its bullshit in "the coming days" but if they were going to say that, surely he would of come out and denied it right away raather than give the quote above.
