Liverpool expect Oussama Assaidi’s £4.7m move to Al-Ahli to go through this week. The Moroccan was recalled from a season-long loan from Stoke City last week, and will join the Dubai-based club on a permanent basis in the next few days.

by Curtinho Mon 12 Jan 2015, 18:33

We were linked with Higuain recently also.

That would be very nice for us. That'd be a fine fee to get for Assaidi. He's obviously too good to be playing in the UAE league, but obviously no one cares about that.

I have heard good reviews about Witsel from friends here. May be those were AC Milan fans who were desperate. I have to see more of him.

by McAgger Mon 12 Jan 2015, 22:50

I watch Zenit and I can tell you he's not that good.

Liverpool Football Club can confirm Oussama Assaidi has left on a permanent transfer to join Al Ahli Club.

The Moroccan winger ended a loan spell with Stoke City early in order to complete the switch to Dubai.

Assaidi moved to Anfield from Heerenveen in the summer of 2012 and made 12 appearances for the Reds.

The 26-year-old originally joined Stoke on a season-long loan deal in September 2013 and returned to the Britannia Stadium at the start of the current campaign before signing for Al Ahli.

Honestly, you're better off supporting Napoli or the team Rafa will take over after summer.

You clearly hate Rodgers...which means you clearly want Liverpool FC to keep losing. that's not acceptable.

Funny how you're back when our results look decent.

Performances are still shit.

And I support Liverpool. "Hate" isn't the right word here. Rodgers isn't the right man for the job. Hence I'm calling for his head. When have I ever said I wanted Liverpool to lose? The shit you come with it ffs.

P.S i want us to lose

Busted

such a waste of a thread hmm

by Nishankly Tue 13 Jan 2015, 14:31

So we've sold Assaidi for profit.

We are getting Origi back, Danny's back. Look for a good GK and this is a great window(srs). Look for Stevie's and Lucas's replacement in the summer.

I don't really think any of the Keepers (aside Stegen) will be an improvement over Mignolet.

Also, I don't think it's safe to depend on Sturridge (injury-prone), Origi (unproven) and Balotelli, Borini & Lambert (all quiet inadequate in someway or other) even for what remains of the season.

by Red Alert Wed 14 Jan 2015, 07:56

Wasn't really profit though, was it?

Probably broke even if you consider wages and all that. lol

But yeah, looked a decent player, so best of luck to him.

Has it really been confirmed that we are getting Origi?

I agree that our priority should be trying to lock up a GK or getting one on loan with an option to buy. Barcelona are not going to give us ter Stegen though, and while the rumoured price of 2m for Neto seems enticing, even if just for competition, is he really an upgrade on Mignolet? I don't know. It would be worth a punt though to see if he could fit in here, and then that way we know whether we really need to look hard for a top keeper in the summer.

But yeah, I would be ok with Origi and a keeper coming in now, and then grabbing a few TOP CLASS players in the summer. We don't need quantity anymore -- we need proven players as Rodgers has said. Hopefully they allow him to go out and get some this year.

guys have any of you seen Matt ryan play before?

Would tke him of Mig every day of the week.

by McAgger Thu 15 Jan 2015, 03:13

Yeah saw him all 3 games at the world cup. He was meh. Conceded most goals out of any goalkeeper in the groups.

Though his opposition were tough he was still very very average.

by McAgger Thu 15 Jan 2015, 03:14

Would take him over Jones as the only Aussie in the team and as a number 2 but that's it.

by mr-r34 Thu 15 Jan 2015, 03:24

Would rather him not come him his going play second fiddle to Mig, the guy has a bright future.

by Kick Thu 15 Jan 2015, 04:09

Ryan isn't that great, You guys should be aiming higher.

Shouldn't even be looking at a keeper to be honest. Maybe a back up for if Brad Jones leaves, but we just really need a coach... Neuer would look bad if you have Rodgers coaching our defence. lmao

by Art Morte Thu 15 Jan 2015, 08:44

I would really like a new keeper, there usually are some gems out there that are just undiscovered. Like Keylor Navas, he was quietly going about his business at Levante and then the World Cup happened and now he plays for Real Madrid. However, I have very little faith in our transfer business and scouting, so I don't know if we're going to spot such gems.

by Helmer Thu 15 Jan 2015, 11:00

Btw, if City are going to sell Jovetic, why arent we after him. I know he is injury prone but may be BR will manage him and Sturridge to be not injured at the same time during the season hmm

Even blaming Mignolet's godawfulness on Rodgers. SMH

by iftikhar Thu 15 Jan 2015, 18:31

How reliable is Telegraph??? They have linked us with Song and Lavezzi in last two days. However, both are in connection with Summer Window. Not really keen for either TBH.

Weird. Not exactly what we need ATM.

by Art Morte Thu 15 Jan 2015, 20:19

Ibe

ffs I can't wait to see what this guy can do in the red shirt in 2015. I would guess / hope he will feature in the FA cup game against Bolton now.
