Summer transfer thread

Nah, they should push her to the moon. Might make footie more popular with girls and women's football more popular in general. More popularity -> more quality. More quality -> more coverage. More coverage -> more good footie for me to watch!


And if it gives us less boring old snots on TV, good!

Oh don't get me wrong, I want her to appear more, for the reasons stated. I just anticipate Twitter mob stuff pushing her out after X amount of time.

Time will tell I guess, but she's succinct, articulate and exudes a warmer personality than some of the cynical types.

Imagine a choice between Lawrenson and Scott

[LFC-DPG]

Alex Scott is very good and has been for some time. quite like watching her. Not Micah Richards though, can’t stand him and turn off straight away. As for Lawro, Jesus wept

Will be interesting to see how Soccer Saturday fares as it was the daftness, silly comments, laughs, blatant bias that kept me watching.

Just tune in to Goals on Sunday.

Lawro always seems quite sheepish when Alex Scott is next to him.

Fluminense and Liverpool have been in constant discussions the last days, and there’s an agreement set to be done soon after Fluminense came back with a counter-offer for their goalkeeper Marcelo Pitaluga.

#LFC want Pitaluga to be Alisson’s successor.

Liverpool have no problem in paying the counter-proposal and Fluminense will sell him in the next few days. @UOLEsporte

Connor Coady has been excellent in defence for Wolves..what position did he play when he was with LFC?

[redebreck]

It would be interesting to see what their (FSG) model is like with the Boston Red Sox. Not sure how they (MLB) go about transfers, but it might be a similar one they implement here?

Or do they see the baseball aspect as a more lucrative offering with titles than football? That’s the only thing I worry about, is there a conflict of interest ?

Baseball is not a contact sport, unless I'm mistaken. Therefore the likelihood of injuries would be negligible.

He was mainly a centre midfielder.

He is a good defensive player and probably wouldn’t be comfortable in a back 4 looks better in a back 3 as his passing shines through been a great signings for Wolves very rare he has a bad game when I’ve seen them.

Not as much contact but plenty of injuries. 162 game season not counting spring training. So it’s a lot of wrist elbow and shoulders that go bad, especially pitchers.

And American sports leagues almost all operate under annual salary caps so transfers are salary contracts only. There are no “transfer fees” typically. A capitalism obsessed country here has the most socialist professional sports system around. Quite the opposite of most everywhere else. Add no relegation and revenue sharing and team owners in the States do very nicely.
