Given the both CFC and UTD (seemingly) are willing to let him go easily, I expect that he may be some sort of royal ar$ehole to deal with. Would that be a correct assessment?

I'd say you couldn't be further from the truth with that assessment. He isn't what Mourinho is looking for in that position and it seems like he isn't what LvG is looking for in that position unfortunately. Even if he was wanted at Liverpool, do you really think it would be likely to happen? Hardly a great tradition of transfers between both clubs :pac:

Mourinho knew what he was doing letting Mata go, he's no fool. They seen Utd coming with an open cheque book and couldn't believe it I'd imagine. Anyway, he'd never come to us and he's on laughable wages.

Schurrle wouldn't come to us, we are too unpredictable and CL is only an outside chance. Plenty
of clubs would be in for him I'd imagine.

I'm only taking what I've read in a few of the transfer gossip sites this morning which say both will be available.

Sure in that case Ronaldo is available to Liverpool. Dont be reading gossip on international breaks. Its all made up, with 2 + 2 = 173

They may well be, a couple of months ago I would have said no chance on Mata but I'm not so sure now. From what I gather he is the model professional though and not a royal arsehole.
It's a non-runner anyway between both clubs.

Sappy404 · 12-11-2014 10:30AM

You have to wonder what happened to Mata. He was Chelsea's POTS for two seasons running, then he gets benched by Mourinho and now Van Gaal. Then again, Skrtel was our POTS a couple of years ago. Martin Skrtel. So maybe there's good reason.

Iused2likebusts · 12-11-2014 10:34AM

No chance of mata and not really what is needed anyway. Schurrle could be an option if Chelsea sign another attacking mid and id imagine there would be a chance of getting him if he was available.

It's funny you use this line fairly often, some strange satisfaction you get even though you are proven wrong every time

Mata would instantly be liverpools best player if you signed him, a world class player playing behind Sturridge would turn the clubs fortunes around

rob316 · 12-11-2014 10:42AM

Mata I would have loved when he was at Chelsea, but he really is a luxury player. United stand to loose a lot of money on him if they want shot, who's going to pay £37m for him now? PSG maybe?

Probably about as much chance as there is of him coming 'home'.

Sturridge playing may turn the clubs fortunes around.

We wont be signing Mata or Schurrle.

More likely some player having a good season like Berahino and some young lad playing in the Austrian league with bags of potential that no other top team will bother with, but hell his stats are fantastic. Also we'll be in for the "wildcard" mid twenty year old playing in Spain or the likes who has been in poor form but had 2 great seasons a few years back and could be a bargain if he can only regain his form. etc etc

I don't see him turning any other clubs fortunes around tbf.

Not a chance we'd pay the money he's on as he's on ridiculous wages.

The term world class is certainly over used it must be said.

Chelsea was his peak imo

See the confusion caused when you don't use quotation marks? :pac:

Anyway, what number do people reckon Mata will get?

Listened to this as well (was the Second Captains podcast), the way I interpreted it was this was Tony's opinion, not a fact he had from a source.

For Moreno for example, his reason for him being one Rodgers maybe hadn't wanted was that Rodgers had also been looking at other fullbacks - but obviously that doesn't necessarily mean that Moreno wasn't wanted. For every position we should be (and are, i'm sure) looking at multiple targets.

Moreno would seem one that dragged on because of cost tbh, not necessarily Rodgers not liking him, it was one it seemed we did the right thing to drag it on.

The odd thing is we paid top dollar for Markovic, Lovren and Lalana and got them pretty quick, Moreno dragged on and Mario seemed an impulse buy when the price came down. Not very consistent!

13, because Reus will want 7...

Nuri Sahin.

He told Turkish broadcaster TRT: “I went to Liverpool because of my love for the Premier League. After scoring a few goals the manager started playing me behind the striker which does not suit my game.

The 26-year-old, who is now back with Dortmund on a permanent basis, added: “Despite my love for the club and the fans, I had to leave due to the managers insistence on playing me in that role.”

Hmmm...He would certainly be very handy right about now.

I think we have enough players for that No. 10 position.

The root problem of this is Gerrard's position in the side.

Of course, Rodgers could've played him elsewhere. If Gerrard pressed the issue though, that's a lot easier said then done.

That would've been the sort of scenario when getting in an established manager might've paid dividends - had Van Gaal joined us back then he might've had the balls to make that call if it had arisen.

Sturridge is a better player than Mata.

I wonder how much a week we'd have to pay him to score no goals for us...

He's been rubbish for ages now...it's more than just a blip imo.

Last Season in the EPL:

Mata: 6 goals and 7 assists

Sturridge: 22 goals and 8 assists

.........

Just stirring the pot! I like Mata - not too sure why my fellow Liverpool fans are doubting his ability now - as far as I can see he simply has to contend with Rooney, RVP etc at Utd - wouldn't see it as a massive slight on him.

Would take him in a heartbeat (although obviously not for 37m or laughable wages)
