Emre Can - CM/DM - Liverpool (9 Viewers)

[pavluska]

What we lack in midfield now are better passing, better physicality/tackling, and more speed/mobility.

Can ticks two of those boxes and is better than Khedira in both.

He's also tall and good at defending set pieces like Khedira (prolly even better because he's a better header), and that's actually crucial for us - something overlooked by fans. Remember our set piece defending issues. Khedira, Mandzukic and this season MDS and Matuidi all helped with that.

5m+bonuses means he's def not being looked at as a backup. Emre + Fabinho (for RB and CM) is what I'm hoping for.

My only issue with Can is, and this may just be a liverpool thing, he hangs back as a regista/DM

Ideally I'd love a pure B2B midfielder

I guess that depends on allegri and how he sets up next season. We have matuidi pjanic as guaranteed starters. Can is better than khedira and sturaro. Bentancur will be loaned even though I think he should be playing more right now. Marchisio has a massive question mark right now. I can see him leave if allegri ignores him more. If we choose to add Can and another quality B2B midfielder it gives us a massive variety in that midfield. I reckon Can. The Register role for Can may work if it allows pjanic to do more offensively.

Did anyone else see him completely physically dominate Sanchez? He knows how to get stuck in and hold the ball under significant physical pressure.

Transfer is dragging too long. He will choose a money move for sure. Meanwhile, we should give mourinho khedira and sturaro, in return for our pogboom dabking

Thinks he's some superstar CM. Fuck this guy if he is stalling over the signature. Too much fuss over this average player.

Quality post. Getting offended and calling Can a prima donna, despite Can being a professional and testing the market on fair terms

Nah. Just wont be bothered if we lose out on him. He should be ecstatic that clubs like Juventus are pursuing him in the first place. If he's holding out for more money than what we're offering, then we should just give it up.

...He should be ecstatic that clubs like Juventus are pursuing him in the first place...

he probably is. it's only normal to listen to offers and pick the best one.

Bayern I dont believe for a second. They signed Göretzka and Can was rejected by them not long ago (their youth player) before he was loaned/sold to Leverkusen then to Pool (4-5 years ago?).



I'm pretty sure we are the most likely team still. Real dont have space for him, and Bayern unlikely due to similar reasons and history. If someone gonna come with big salary offer for him I would fear other EPL teams like Man U, Chelsea or City IMO.

Height is important in Allegri thinking, explain in a way why he prefer Khedira to marchisio : "“It’s very simple. With Sami Khedira suspended and Monaco’s danger on the counter, I needed a player who could do more preventative marking. I also needed someone strong in the air like Barzagli, who had an extraordinary game, as Claudio Marchisio is not good with headers.”"

Maybe Real want a squad player. He's ideal in that respect.

Clueless idiots all of them..Bayern have not been interested in Can at all.

This Can to Bayern rumours r purest nonsense. The whole situation is so typical for Can and I have already predicted, that he ll take his time to get as much money as possible..I cannot stand him.

Why dont you like him? Dont know much his past and what kind of person he is. Would like to know more about him now that Juve is after him.
