ponsaelius Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 What is a high profile signing? Liverpool don't really do that whatever it is meant to mean - they sign the right players that fit their system and often target those already in the PL. Mbeumo seems an absolutely obvious Liverpool signing to me in terms of positional fit and mentality. As for him being underwhelming for us that is crazy talk.

Without thinking about it too much, he's probably in the top 10 best attacking players in the league, and definitely the only one that might even be remotely attainable for the RW spot.

Disco Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Wouldn’t be surprised if they go for him anyway. Diaz and Darwizzy both rumoured to be off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's the profile we can sign for £60m or whatever it would take. He'll be 26 in the summer and we would be really quickly looking at his resale value going down. Liverpool don't really have to care. It's grim but IMO we would have to look at someone younger for a price like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I think Mbeumo is a Jota, Diaz, Gakpo level signing rather than a Mane, Salah level signing. They need an attacker that level up to what they already have. They need to be in the market for the next Olise, Doue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used to be very good and clearly had some great contacts but the way he puts players in the shop window now is fairly sickening. Can't stand him.

Sibierski Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Hard to know what Liverpool will do business wise this summer because it’s a new era for them, so may pivot completely different directions on their targets. Feels LB / CB / ST will be their main signings, with Bradley being trialled at RB for a season to see if the step up happens and saves them money. Maybe a CM too since Slot isn’t keen on Elliot at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Romano is clearly on the payroll on a couple of clubs. Barca, Real and at least until recently Man United. Although Jim probably has stopped that. Some of the briefing against Sancho he had last year was so detailed it could only have come from the club. As with anything social media wise and transfer related most of his posts have devolved into engagement bait slop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Antony hugs someone in Spain we're finding out about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 2 minutes ago, Sima said: Nowhere near as big (or as trustworthy) as David Ornstein imo. Agree on the trustworthy side, but he is far, far bigger than Ornstein. I'd say on followers alone Romano has ten times the amount. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ornstein is much more reliable but Romano is known throughout the world for his transfer tweets.

Ste Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 9 minutes ago, Chris L said: so maybe on the payroll for quite a few agents, rather than clubs? I'd imagine across the board. I'd guess he's used by clubs to gauge reaction, possibly leak a player leaving to see fan reaction, see if it invites interest from other clubs etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s still seen as very influential in shaping the narrative around certain transfers and stories. There are a number of clubs like Barca and Chelsea who use proxy’s like him to unsettle players and drive transfer prices down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Even Ornstein posts a fair amount of clickbait non-stories these days, but he's still no where near as bad as Romano. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
