Stevo985 Posted August 11, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2015 Huge Battlestar fan. This is great. Apollo! Real talk though: he's built like a bull, has remarkable control and seems to finish well. Why would Barca let him go at 19? He'll have a buy back clause. Which makes it not much different than a long term loan. If he ends up being crap then Barca have got a fee for him now. If he turns out to be awesome then they've got a set fee to buy him back for. it's win/win for them really. And if they do but him back, it's because he has played well enough and helped us, so I don't mind really. Exactly Huge Battlestar fan. This is great. Apollo!

When it's anywhere other than twitter I'll be excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanO Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Wow, I thought it was a dying art as I'd forgotten what it was like seeing a winger run to the bye line and pull the ball back, a defenders nightmare. Seriously if this guy signs Rudy's gonna score for fun and finally someone who can keep up with Gabby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Raphael Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Uh oh.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/liverpool/11795531/Liverpool-transfer-rumours-and-news-Brendan-Rogers-to-step-up-move-for-Barcelonas-Adama-Traore.htmlLiverpool will not give up on Barcelona youngster Adama Traore and will make their move for the 19-year-old this month. Traore has been linked with a host of Premier League clubs over recent weeks with Liverpool facing competition from Stoke, Everton and Aston Villa for his signature. Stoke manager Mark Hughes revealed that the club have held talks with Traore over a move but it appears his bid to land the player could be scuppered by Liverpool's interest. According to the Metro, Brendan Rodgers will make an offer for the young winger in the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Metro, Brendan Rodgers will make an offer for the young winger in the coming weeks. If you do a search there is quite an amusing timeline of the Metros ""reporting"" of this story. Basically every day they have linked him with a different club and claimed it is done or at advanced stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Sherwood decided to go back to Barcelona for Adama and the player is expected to have a medical later on Tuesday ahead of signing. Although that bloke on Twitter said he wasn't at the club today.

dogbonus Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 well, originally he was a right back.... And Sherwood seems to have an attacking philosophy.... Amavi likes getting forward... Tim had nzog as RB last season.... Is this to be our new RB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
