Juan Manuel Mata

[Metaphysical]

I dunno, the more I think about it, the more I think we'll sign Mata.

it just seems a very Pep thing to do.

 

[AnfieldEd]

Mata is heading to england.

Mata is heading to england.

To Liverpool? Because I've heard Ashley Young to Liverpool is a done deal...

 

[RedMadridista]

Why would Mata sign for Liverpool? There's no way Liverpool will sign him. Quote me on that.
Liverpool will probably sign Young and some player on a free. That French guy?

 

[Bergkamp10]

Same reason Aguero apparently would

I reckon they'll sign one or two from the French league and Enrique.

I don't really rate Enrique. He's a decent player, but some people go a bit OTT.

 

[AnfieldEd]

I didn't say to Liverpool so don't put words in my mouth

I said to England.

 

[Metaphysical]

no chance any top-level player goes to Liverpool to play Europa League football next season.

 

[Bergkamp10]

I agree. He's good but not £15m good, I don't think he's anywhere near as good as someone like Evra or Cole.

Arsenal have been linked but I doubt we'll sign him after the Reyes thing.

1+

 

[Metaphysical]

he has an offer from Chelsea.

but he wants to wait to see if we bid for him.

Depends what your definition of a top-level player is.

 

[Bergkamp10]

Oh a friend for Torres then. Good if they sign him, keeps them away from Hazard.

 

[Metaphysical]

Depends what your definition of a top-level player is.

well top player wasn't wholly correct.

basically, most anyone at a CL team isn't going to go to Liverpool.

and then top players at non-CL teams would prefer to go to a CL team than Liverpool. if they have no choice, then they'll go to Liverpool.

 

[AnfieldEd]

Well I still believe we can attract good quality players. I don't think we will be buying ready made world class talents. But I do think that Liverpool are a big enough of a club to attract players, who necessarily would not move to a club either in the europa or not even in europe altogether.

I mean we attracted Luis Suarez who was at a non-CL team and could have had his pick of clubs, many of which in the CL, but took the risk of us not being in the CL for a couple of years to join us.

All I will say I am confident we will attract players to help us to go the next level and compete at the top end in the premier league.
