some chatter around Lanzini being a replacement for PC

could of course just be rumours stoked by his agent

Glad its not just me!

Who is this Oblak guy? where is he playing?

Both #LFC targets Atletico's Oblak and Roma's Alisson lead in their respective leagues by shot saves ratio among GKs with at least 7 games played.
Oblak - 89%
Alisson - 80%
...
De Gea - 83%
Buffon - 75%
Courtois - 75%
Donnaruma - 68%
Mignolet - 59%
Karius - 43%

Oblak, Allison, Donnarumma. I'd be interested to know the relative asking prices for each.

Oblak has a €100M buyout, doesn't he?

[jammy-git]

I reckon Oblak would be VVD money.

[type-r]

Atletico have only conceded 8 goals in 19 league games this season. Stats we can only dream of.

yep deffo, but a position probably more important so worth it

Would he leave them though? money talks I suppose, I read here he is only on 25k a week? surely we would bang him on 150k a week straight away

They only have 2 players above 100k a week

Rumours they were going to increase his wage when PSG were sniffing but dont think anything has happened yet - http://sillyseason.com/salary/atletico-madrid-play...

But only scored 28 in 19

Its his save % stat that is more impressive than number of goals conceded

Not sure you can put goals conceded only down to Oblak - I watched some of their game at the weekend... they are proper defensive.

yep hence the low number of goals scored in 19 games

Totally different set up to us - hence why the save % is the stat that's impressive

No

Ive been watching him since we were linked, not impressed at all certainly not anywhere near the quality of Countinho. im surprised you haven't signed Marhrez yet, he's quality and would be perfect.

[Gameface]

He's only being linked because he had a good game at the weekend.

It's not going to happen.

Mane, Salah, Keita & Mahrez.

Practically the African All-Stars team right there!

Yeah... my bad... 4 days in to mega flu, and brain not working to usual capacity.

[Chris Stott]

Another thought... I don't think we would have won at the weekend if PC had played instead of Gini/Can/Ox.

Pressing won us the game, and PC would not have been as effective as any one of those 3.

Big question is can Lala or Ox step up in those games where teams defend deep and we can push a CM forward?

Leon Goretzka looks to be moving to Bayern:

Don't forget Griezmann too.
