Let the record show that Kopstar has just said we're signing MbappeAlso, if you were going to arrange a medical for a high-profile player what better way to keep that under wraps than also arranging for a medical for a 17-yr old.
Idle speculation, nothing more!
He just doesn't know when to stop!Let the record show that Kopstar has just said we're signing Mbappe
Riise leaves, Bogdan comes in. Bogdan leaves, this lad comes in.
Yeah, what a difference this makes! Fantastic stuff!This is how we do transfers,
(...)
The Echo confirm as well that the club are confident to seal the deal, but not done yet, mind.
Not another thread going to be lost to Kopstar baiting? Seriously you don't like his posts or don't believe what he says just ignore him and act like a grown up instead of turning every post he comments in into a shit show.He just doesn't know when to stop!
It's just supposed to be a bit of fun but for some reason there are posters who don't like idle speculation when it comes from me!
Yeah, what a difference this makes! Fantastic stuff!
If we beat Bayern to this boy, who have a sensational recruitment structure, and have developed umpty brilliant players in the last decades, it will show yet again how much we have grown in stature and attractiveness for young players. This hasn't only to do with our first team doing so well currently, but also that we start to be genuinely renown for our development work. It seems to pay fruits now. Two-three years ago, we'd have had no chance to pip a young player from under Bayern's noses.
And Ajax are world champions for player development anyway, so it's no mean feat to be able to convince this Dutch lad to join us despite their interest.
So Mr ITK, who exactly is this top player who's signing for us tomorrow?
I thought Iceberg was the top player signing and that a youngster would be signed as well.So Mr ITK, who exactly is this top player who's signing for us tomorrow?
That is baiting!
ill appreciate this signing in about 4 years!Liverpool are hopeful of beating a host of Europe's biggest clubs to the signing of Dutch wonderkid Sepp van den Berg.
The 17-year-old centre-back plays for PEC Zwolle in the Eredivisie.
The ECHO understands the Reds are keen to secure the young defender's services but face competition from the likes of Bayern Munich and Ajax.
He is viewed in the same category as Joe Gomez was when the England international signed from Charlton in 2015 in terms of the belief in his potential and it is very much hoped that he would be signing for the long term.
Serie A side Sampdoria bid €2.5million in January for Van den Berg and he is very highly regarded around Melwood with a belief he would also essentially be ready to play for the first-team from day one.

Also being reported by Neil Jones of Goal (former Echo journalist).
Exactly the right kind of move (imo) if we want another CB for when Lovren (or Matip, but Dejan more likely) leaves. Long-term succession planning, especially as the training facilities are unified moving forward.
Nope
Not if they're within the EEA. Players can transfer between clubs within the EEA from the age of 16. Any younger and the principal reason for the move cannot be football. For players coming from outside of the EEA (who don't have an EU passport) you must be over the age of 18 unless there is a non-footballing reason for moving to a different country.
There are 3 exceptions to this rule..... this is the important one for this case: (Kopstar also answered above as I was copying this in)
They certainly do this in order to stay at the top, but not only.And since when have Bayern developed players
I thought their modus operandi was to steal all the cream off the top of all other Bundesliga clubs when they near the end of their contracts?
Of course, but these are exceptions rather than the rule. Everyone knows their reputation is to snap up Germany's top talent. Will let someone more far more knowledgeable than me make that list!!
Not many recent examples though.

Why don´t you go for a lie down? Absolute nonsense you are spouting.
You need to put this in the ism thread. let Mascot have a go at it.Riise leaves, Bogdan comes in. Bogdan leaves, this lad comes in.
Is there some kind of quota we have to fill?
€2m (£1.8m) at transfermarkt...
Sepp Maier, my dad's favourite ever GK!
Getting conned into sending £2m to a club that doesn't exist should be a sacking offense.
That is actually pretty similar to Alexander-Arnold. He was always earmarked as a first team potential player but it was noted that he didn't react well to things not going his way - he would get emotional and aggressive, tackles would be reckless and positioning would disappear. Some days he would go into his shell and wouldn't be able to contribute to the team.It wasn't the purpose of the article, but this piece in the Echo seems to suggest he needs to work on the mentality a bit more... Stam saw promise in him but felt he needed to be willing to work harder to improve:
