Premiere League [EPL] Transfer & Speculation Discussion Thread

[GbitG]

There is some good activity on Liverpool side lately. They are looking for signing Bradley Barcola from PSG!

Fabrizio Romano

There is no amount stated related to their future offer yet. He is eager to sign for Liverpool already. He knows that he will be signed for the starting eleven after Salah's departure.

How do you see this likely transfer? Do you think he can reach a level near Salah? Or should I ask about if he needs to go that high? 

Hmmm, that's good move for Liverpool......!!!!

The departure of Muhammad Salah will really make the team attack bit sloppy like they will feel a lot of lacking in attacking sense because Muhammad Salah was one of the amazing winger who not only contributing as winger despite he was a goal scorers. So definitely team will feel lacking.....

Besides that Bradley Barcola is good players like he can give little strength to the team but not too much like it is obvious that he will replace Salah position only in terms of ball carry, keeping wide vision but unfortunately he won't spotted a goals like Muhammad Salah. Salah was always on top lead of score sheet and definitely Bradley Barcola won't make such impact like Salah.

Let's see what happens next.

[Slow death]

These last 10 days have been very busy for Premier League teams when it comes to new signings and contract renewals.

1 - Nottingham Forest and Ibrahim Sangaré have reached an agreement for a new contract valid until June 2029.

2 - It seems that Manchester City and Savinho may part ways. Savinho has informed Manchester City that he wants to leave the club, and Tottenham is interested in him. The question is whether he's interested in Tottenham. He wants to play regularly; I wonder if he'll have that wish fulfilled at Tottenham.

3 - Chelsea and Jordan Henderson and Danny Welbeck are close to signing a contract.

Perhaps in the next season, which starts next month, we'll see Chelsea fighting for the title, Manchester United fighting for the title, an improved Liverpool also fighting for the title, so Arsenal could have many rivals in the title race. Regarding Manchester City, I have many doubts; I prefer to see their first five games with the new manager.

This does not sound like the first time Liverpool are going for this player and now the news about him with Liverpool has come out again, how serious can Liverpool be this time.

Bradley Barcola is a creative player that is versatile and he can be a good replacement for Mo Salah but what I will not anticipate from him is replicating the contribution of salah to the club.

With Salah not going to be available for next season this will be the right time to sign him and it is for this reason I strongly believe that Liverpool will seal a deal on him if any thing true has to go by this news.

I doubt if Barcola will be able to do well like the way Sala was in Liverpool, although they haven't even said he is going to be brought in to replace Salah, but what I know is that Barcola will struggle to settle in due to the physical nature of football  England are used to playing in. If he's coming to England, he has to bare in mind that England will test how physical  you are, and with the way i'm Seeing things now, He has to hit the gym, build up muscle , else England defenders will show him why they said England is the toughest and hardest league in the world.. He will adapt, but it's just time.
I love the fact that every clubs in trying to strengthen their squad ahead of next, and I will say they should try to get the players they think will improve their squad.

Without Salah there will be an empty place in the team on the wing. I think Liverpool has a good team overall and they dont need much players they just need a winger to replace Salah. Currently Liverpool is lacking and not bringing anyone to their team so i think they need to move fast. Currently they didnt waste any single money for their transfers and i think that will need to change really fast. Liverpool needs to pay a high amount for a high quality winger,if they want to try and attack the title. Barcola would come really handy because he is really good and PSG would probobly sell him.

Barcola is a good player so it’s not bad if he comes to replace Salah even though on rating Salah is still better than him, the thing is the way i see football and life in general is that one team might favor a player more than another team, not because the player is not good but because of destiny, who knows Barcola might be the missing link that Liverpool has been searching for, the team might suit him, the team can also win trophies due to his presence that is just how football is, take coach Thomas Tuchel for example he immediately came to Chelsea and used the already existing players that other coaches couldn’t use to win the champions league, he did so well at Chelsea and least at Bayern Munich not because he isn’t a good coach but because one team favors him and the later team doesn’t favor him.

Bradley Barcola is a top talent that can still improve greatly if he can work more on improving his game, but right now he is not at the level of salah, because he needs to give out a high output of goals and assist consistently for him to reach mo salah's level. The only problem about this deal is the amount that is being speculated, which I seriously doubt that Liverpool will be willing to go that far financially to make the deal happen, but since they really needs to replace mo salah, let's see if they will break the bank for him before the end of the transfer window, or they will eventually look elsewhere, since Bradley Barcola is proving to be too expensive.

A good decision for Barcola to want to leave PSG, he has seen lesser play time and removed from the starting XI after the arrival of Kvarakshkelia from Napoli and his form saw a little decline. I like his mentality towards a game, his speed and fast attacking prowess. He would excel at Liverpool. It will be good to get him back to the starting XI at Liverpool.

I don't like comparing players, he has his own proficiency and Salah has his own as well, I would only say he is a fast-paced energetic attacker and one goalkeepers should be warry of because he has the ability to overwhelm them and steal the ball. He would really be a good addition to Liverpool's attacking prowess.

For me, if a player already want to leave, Liverpool can wait until his contract is closer to the end, just like Real Madrid did with Mbappe. his contract will ends in 2028, if Liverpool don't think this transfer is really important, Liverpool can wait for him next two seasons.

They can play their cards, but they are not the only smart side, they can wait and maybe another club would make the move and sign him before then, or Barcola may even decide to go somewhere else as a free agent, that is if he doesn't have favorable conditions to renew at PSG.

It might be a good decision for his playing career, or a bad one if he flop at Liverpool, but it might not be the best decision for PSG as a football team because they  have done pretty well in the past two seasons because their has been a lot of competition for places in their first team, and if Barcola leaves and he is not replaced with a high quality player that can hit the ground running, their are chances that their level will drop, because nothing is more better when a coach is having a problem of confusion, like who he might select to start this or that game, than having it easy with his selection. That shows that their is no competition in the team, and players will not be forced to give their absolute best in other to stay in the team.

What we don't even know is if PSG is ready to sell him yet, if he leaves, that leaves only Kvarashkelia and the young academy player Quentin Ndjantou at the left wing, it is a risk of which they would have to consider their options carefully before taking, or maybe they would plan for his replacement before letting him go. Kvarashkelia might end up playing a lot of matches because of the shortage on the left wing or they might have to deploy Mbaye to assist in that position, we would see how it unfolds going forward but if the player already wants to go, there is no need holding him back.

Liverpool have been interested in Bradley Barcola since the last summer transfer window, he is viewed as a priority for Liverpool, he has accepted to play for Liverpool Football Club, and he has accepted the project, that is a positivity for Liverpool, he is a player that will suit the Andoni Iraola playing style, he is young and a two time Champions League winner, he should be coming to Liverpool as a starter, and a regular player, Liverpool just have to reach an agreement with Paris-Saint-German Football Club, Liverpool should do everything possible to sign this player because he is a good player, and they need wingers after Mohamed Salah left the club.

I understand your point but you should know that every player has his time to shine. Last season Sallah couldn't do much because he's declining in form gradually due to age. Barcola might surprise you with his performance on that wing. He can also score goals but I cannot say if he can score as many as Sallah did because he wasn't given enough playing time in PSG since, he is not among the first eleven.

PSG player prices, after back to back Champions League, have clearly made all PSG players quite expensive. That's why Bradley Barcola is now a highly valued player, and Liverpool must be serious about bringing him to Anfield. Bradley Barcola performance could actually improve with sufficient playing time, as at PSG he often waited for his turn when needed, making his role less visible. That price is still worth fighting for when Liverpool urgently need a Salah replacement.

It's true that the Premier League is much more difficult than Ligue 1. So a player who does well in Ligue 1 and in a big team like PSG may not be able to perform as well in the Premier League. We've seen many cases, such as Viktor Gyokeres, who was a goal-scoring machine at Sporting, but was an average player at Arsenal. Currently, Salah is significantly behind Barcola.

1 - Salah has a 1v1 rating of 70.8 while Barcola has 85.1 points.

2 - Salah has a 33.33% success rate in aerial duels while Barcola has 52.63%

3 - Salah has a 69.56% pass accuracy rate while Barcola has 79.91%

4 - Salah has 83 successful passes when in dangerous areas while Barcola has 52 successful passes.

5 - Salah loses possession 36 times in the opponent's penalty area and Barcola loses possession 32 times in the opponent's penalty area.

At least in the statistics, Barcola is superior. We have to see how he performs in the Premier League if Liverpool manages to sign him.


Fulham is in talks with Real Madrid to sign Cesar Palacios, as Fulham's current manager and Arbeloa, who previously coached Real Madrid at both youth and senior levels, knows the player very well. I believe Real Madrid will only loan him out.

After much speculation, Real Madrid are finally in negotiations with Manchester City to sign Rodri, with Real Madrid ready to spend over £50 million to acquire him.

[Dunamisx]

Last season Sallah couldn't do much because he's declining in form gradually due to age.

Age factor is there, and I don't think it is only Mohamed Salah that is affected when it comes to this aspect; even Lionel Messi could not perform as before due to the age factor, and that is probably one of the major reasons why they couldn't see him deliver as expected for Argentina in the concluded FIFA World Cup.

That being said, I don't like a situation whereby a team will solely depend on a particular player to have their major performance upon; anyone could be a valuable asset to a team as long as they are all in coordination when playing.

I believe in a great return for Liverpool, these players who have will do everything possible to return to winning, and it is still a great club that can give great satisfaction and even in the Champions League at this point i believe they can do it without too many problems, they will make it.

I agree with you. Putting your attacking force solemnly on one a player is bad because if the player isn't on the pitch the entire team performance will be awkward. I know that Sallah has really done a lot for Liverpool but his departure shouldn't affect the team that much if this has been considered initially.

It seems that Manchester City and Savinho may part ways. Savinho has informed Manchester City that he wants to leave the club, and Tottenham is interested in him. The question is whether he's interested in Tottenham. He wants to play regularly; I wonder if he'll have that wish fulfilled at Tottenham.

Savinho really does need to leave Manchester City because he’s starting to lose his spot in the starting lineup and rarely gets playing time. Joining Tottenham would be a good option for Savinho, since I see that Tottenham is lacking good wingers. Brennan Johnson is the only good winger Tottenham currently has. So, if Savinho joins Tottenham, I’m confident he’ll definitely become a starter there and can play on the left wing. It remains to be seen whether Manchester City is willing to let Savinho go or not. And again, it depends on Tottenham’s offer. If the offer is favorable, Manchester City might let Savinho go.

I like his mentality towards a game, his speed and fast attacking prowess. He would excel at Liverpool. It will be good to get him back to the starting XI at Liverpool.

I have always said that Bradley Barcola is a decent player with a lot of potentials and I agree with you on his decision to move to Liverpool. I really think his style of play will be perfect for Liverpool,  because he is the kind of player that has a lot of speed and he is fearless when he faced defender. He has truly falling down the pecking order at PSG and he needs to move to establish himself in another club and I think Liverpool is a good fit for him. It's true that he is moving to a new league, but I feel he can succeed if he really work hard.
