Re: LFC Transfer Rumours
Interesting piece on him:
The transfer window train is rapidly speeding up and the next young French player to leave these shores looks set to be Paris Saint-Germain’s man mountain, Mamadou Sakho. With his place seemingly taken at his boyhood club, and France national team coach Didier Deschamps putting pressure on the 23-year-old to play regular games with the upcoming World Cup potentially on the horizon, the time has come for Sakho to move on. Liverpool is his next destination.
One of the greatest potential talents in recent French football history, Sakho is no longer just a prospect and has the attributes of a legendary central defender (not least because of the comparisons with Lilian Thuram). Now is the time that he showed the world what he is capable off. The skills he possesses arguably make him perfect for the English Premier League and there is no doubt that Liverpool, despite paying a reported fee in the region of £15-20 million – depending on who you believe – for a wonderful centre-back and someone who can help Brendan Rodgers’ team grow in stature over the coming years.
It was back in the 2010-11 season that Sakho came of age, and was an absolute rock in the heart of an unexpectedly strong PSG defence, narrowly missing out on the Young Player of the Year award to title-winning Lille’s Eden Hazard. His performances led to him being given the armband by then-coach Antoine Kombouaré, despite only being 21 at the time, shortly before the arrival of Qatar Sports investments in the french capital. His experience belies his 23 years of age though, already having three full campaigns under his belt. Few players are better in the air than Sakho and he is as powerful as he is quick on the ground, tailor-made for the hustle and bustle of the Premier League.
Raised by the club’s sometimes sieve-like youth academy since 2002, ‘Kirikou’ has gone on to become one of the club’s best recent graduates, and to the PSG faithful he is the identity of the club and embodiment of its spirit and progress on the pitch. Strong, athletic and vastly intelligent with great reading of the game, his considerable height and aerial ability makes him a formidable opponent, at times akin to a brick wall. It’s just a shame that Laurent Blanc and QSI don’t seem to totally agree with their customers.
There is also a feeling in Paris though that Sakho’s potential remains unfulfilled. Two years ago, he was being touted as a possible future France captain and perhaps the most legendary of all of les Bleus’ celebrated stoppers. However, he has not really moved on since then. Sections of the PSG support believe that the club and its supporters’ reluctance to openly criticise the home grown star has contributed to his stunted growth.
The 2011-12 season didn’t go very well for the centre-back. PSG lost a league title that they arguably should have won to Montpellier, and the player suffered a series of injuries that saw him lose his place in the side. The new money in Paris heralded an influx of new players to challenge for Sakho’s spot, something that would only get worse for the Frenchman.
Brazilians’ Alex, Marquinhos and Thiago Silva have since joined the club, and every time Sakho has had to watch from the stands and then fight for his place. There have been no major mistakes made, no disgruntled moaning about playing time. This is a boy who wants to play for his team and is hurt by not being able to represent the club that he loves, but it seems like his face just doesn’t fit anymore. On paper the partnership of Thiago Silva and Sakho looks mouth-watering, and when they’ve had a chance to play together there is nothing that has proved otherwise.
If this was not the season before a potential World Cup appearance then it is possible that the big Frenchman would have stayed to fight for his place, bleeding bleu et rouge for his team and winning the position that he is the heir to. But Deschamps has made it clear to Sakho that he has to play to get into his future squads. If he wants to have any chance of being on the plane to Brazil next summer, he needs to be playing games and he needs to be playing them now.
For Liverpool this is a great move, they are getting a superb defender. If he can adapt to the British game then he is potentially better than both Daniel Agger and Martin Skrtel. In a few years’ time, when Steven Gerrard has hung up his boots, there is a strong chance that the new Liverpool captain could be the Parisian-born monster.
If that were to happen, it would be hard for any French manager to not make that call.

Re: LFC Transfer Rumours
#LFC have confirmed Fabio Borini has joined Sunderland on loan for the duration of the 2013-14 campaign

Looks like LFC will receive a fee for Borini loan. Around what they paid to Chelsea for Moses.

Re: LFC Transfer Rumours
Liverpool are on the verge of a major transfer coup, with MD Ian Ayre flying to Spain on Thursday to open talks with one of the country's most exciting youngsters.
Anfield chief Ayre was in Barcelona for talks over Spain Under-21 defender Martin Montoya - who is set to become a free agent at the end of the season after negotiations over a new contract broke down.
There is anger among fans of the Nou Camp giants at what is seen as negligence that such a highly-rated local youngster has been allowed to get so close to the end of his contract.
But that is Liverpool's gain - with sources at Barcelona indicating that talks have stalled fatally - and the 22-year-old is free to discuss terms with interested parties.
The Reds are at the head of a queue that also includes Arsenal and Inter Milan, after forging strong links with the Barca board during ongoing talks over the future of goalkeeper Pepe Reina, who could still move back to his former club at the end of this season following a year on loan at Napoli.
Liverpool were hoping to secure Montoya on a free at the end of the season, but it is thought Ayre has travelled out to discuss the possibility of a move in January.
Kop manager Brendan Rodgers is keen to find cover after losing left-back Jose Enrique to injury for the rest of the season, with the Liverpool coach being forced to turn to youngster Jon Flanagan for last Saturday's Merseyside derby.
Montoya is the ideal candidate - not only can he play both full-back positions, but he is widely regarded as a coming talent in Spain and has been earmarked at the world champions' next right-back.
The player was part of the Spain U21 team that triumphed at last summer's European Championship, and also won the league and cup double with Barca.
But there has been little urgency in talks over a new deal from the Catalan club, and it seems their complacency will now be punished, with his agent admitting it will be hard to agree terms.
Speaking recently, Jose Maria Orobitg explained: "We have been talking about a renewal, but there is nothing yet as the situation is a little complicated.
"We will evaluate the situation more as we move forward, and it is at the moment we can no talk about a possible transfer in January."
Sources in Spain have suggested those talks have now broken down completely - and Ayre's presence in the city suggests he has reached an advanced stage in his attempts to bring the young star to England.
Rodgers is a huge fan of the defender after scouting him in the summer, and can't believe his luck that such a highly regarded talent has been allowed to get within six months of the end of his contract.
The defender has 22 caps at U21 level and also played for Spain at last year's Olympics.
He has made 30 appearances for Barca - including a start in the Spanish Cup Final.

Re: LFC Transfer Rumours
I know he's only a young lad but it seems as though he's been with us for ages. Social media responsible for that no doubt. I know his form has progressively dipped, just sad to see another young lad go.

Re: LFC Transfer Rumours
Biggest cliché in the game..... No room for sentiment in football. The bottom line is the kid isnt good enough and i watched enough games of his to see it. Its no surprise the lad has ended up at somewhere like Yeovil....... I mean even N'gog is in the Championship.
Re: LFC Transfer Rumours
Aye, I know that, you just get used to hearing/reading about a player and then they're gone

Re: LFC Transfer Rumours
So it does. Why would we even consider a loan. Just lets other teams see his is available. Easily worth 20m
