Tiago Ilori (update 2017 - signs for Reading)

[cdbearsfan]

Liverpool defender deal agreed. Loan with view to permanent deal.

We have until eight to wrap up the deal so I expect it will go through.

Like the sound of a view to a permanent deal. If he's brilliant we can sign him, if not, he hasn't cost us much.

Yep, just seen this announced on SSN. Like quite a few of our signings this summer, I know absolutely zip about him!!

Another CB when we need a proven Striker?? Hmmm

[PeterWithesShin]

I wonder what the "significant" loan fee is?

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

£1m loan fee, according to various Twitter sources.

He cost Liverpool £7m.

EDIT:  Also, it's Ilori!

I know. Not sure what you're getting at.

I wasn't expecting this but ok.

[aj2k77]

Had a scout on the Liverpool boards and they'd rather it was just a loan with no offer to buy at the end, think he has potential.

[Smirker]

Is he good?

[JUAN PABLO]

Well if he ends up playing for England, another player who will sod off .   

Lets hope he does.

[eamonn]

Centre-back ?

[john e]

with this final piece of the jigsaw I think we will probably win the league now

[Salsa Party Animal]

He is Portuguese and should be playing for Portugal. Maybe he will put a good word with Ronaldo for Aston Villa.

[aev]

So we have Okore, Clark, Richards, Lescott, Ilori and Baker.

If this is indeed a loan with an option to buy then I think it is a good deal, as I can't imagine him playing that many games for us. If it is just a way of one of pour competitors players getting some PL exposure then not so happy.

[Stirchley Villain]

Is he confirmed?
