TrentVilla Posted August 4, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 4, 2015 If we had any interest in Mario we would have expressed it when selling Benteke, didn't. Seems a bit pointless debating him now after we've signed two strikers and are seemingly trying to sign Adebayor. What we need now is a CB, maybe another RB, another winger and I think a better keeper. Oh and a few out the door as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I think we are done till we shift someone else. Which is fair, 9 in and 9 out is a pretty damn busy window by any standard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adebayor is management nightmare but Tim has form in managing him so I can see the logic of such a move. Mario takes being a difficult player to manage to a whole new level and I shudder to think what influence he might have on our younger players.

sturae229 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 On loan it would be possible I think. If we bring in Adebayor i think stocked in attack. A new CB is essential for this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only failed at Liverpool, he's scored goals everywhere else. He is a nutter, but he has performed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chap of Steel Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 According to the Liverpool Echo... (link here) Liverpool are not in the race to sign Barcelona winger Adama Traore. Reports in Spain suggested that the 19-year-old was on the brink of flying to Merseyside to undergo a medical with the Reds. However, the ECHO understands that Liverpool aren’t interested in a deal for the teenager. Traore, who has represented Spain at under-19 level, is likely to move to the Premier League over the coming days, but either Stoke City or Aston Villa is likely to be destination. Spanish clubs Villarreal and Celta Vigo are also keen on him but Traore has indicated he wants to play in England. Barcelona are prepared to agree a permanent deal but only on the basis they secure a buyback option – similar to the one they negotiated with Everton for Gerard Deulofeu this summer. Traore has made four first-team appearances for Barcelona. He has been a regular for Barcelona B over the past two seasons – scoring eight goals in 63 outings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandaq Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I heard of Adama but never really seen him play outside of youtube. Isn't he the highest rated one from their academy bar Halilovic? Stoke does seem more likely considering what they are going for and the other barca players that have gone there. On the other hand, none of it seems likely at all.
