LFC pulled the plug on Fekir last time because of concerns re his knee/s.
Most thought he was going to CFC.
Some notable Bosman list players-
Yacine Brahimi Mousa Dembele Gary Cahill Olivier Giroud Brahim Diaz Ander Herrera Hector Herrera Vincent Kompany Filpe Luis David Luiz Juan Mata James Milner Alberto Moreno Arjen Robben Daniel Sturridge
Is Robben any good now?
Wasn't Brahimi very highly rated a few years ago? How has he ended up on the Bosman list - career stalled or wage demands?
I'm afraid Emery will go for Alberto Moreno
Oh god, we're going to sign David Luiz aren't we?
Diego Godin is another Bosman next summer and easily better than anyone on that list. Would throw a couple million Atleticos way and see if they bite
If only Luiz wasn't such a clown, or a poor man's Mattéo.
He's such a good footballer for a defender though, maybe he'd do some kind of a job for us?
:hides:
As if we didn't have enough clowns at the back as it is.
In a way, I'd like to see a Mustafi-Luiz CB pairing just for sheer comedic value.

I'm almost certain he'll go to Juve unfortunately. Ideal Barzagli replacement next year, and they do love a free lunch like no other club I've seen.
Juve are paying a metric shit tonne of money to Ronaldo though, and Godins disagreement Atletico is over wages. If the club decided to pony up I think we could tempt him
Hector Herrera and Brahim Diaz will be very useful additions.
Not sure about Moreno unless we are hell bent on playing 3 at the back. Robben might be worth a gamble for a 1 year contract
If we buy Robben I'll stop supporting Arsenal. Fuck that there's a limit to everything
We should be in for him.
A centre forward is the least of our priorities.
Maybe it's not our first priority, but we could use another forward. Auba is 30 this year and Lacazette is 28. If we don't sign someone youngish this summer we'll be forced to do it the next one. Werner strikes me as good target because he can play across the frontline.
Lacazette is 27.
He'll be 30 in 2 1/2 years.
Godin could have a van Dijk-like effect on our defense. Goes about his business more quietly and doesn't play in the PL or for Barcelona/Real Madrid so there's not as much hype around him, but he's just as good unless he's become much worse this season.

Hes a lot nearer 28 than he is 27. That's a fact.

Thank you for that random factoid. As I said, Auba will be 30 this year and Laca will be 28.
