I'd still be surprised if there was another one of any note given that Carvalho is already in. I'd assume Gordon will see some more minutes in the cups next season as well.

Lucas 3,239 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I am resigned to Rapha leaving but he has his heart set on Barca and they don't have the cash so he's a bit fucked really. He may have to choose another option if we get a good bid. Salah likes to play on that inside right position at Liverpool which is where Rapha prefers so I'm not sure he'd enjoy being understudy there, mind. But whoever does get him I can see why they want to get it done sooner than later, his price will only go up after the World Cup otherwise.

Salah’s probably leaving on a free next if we sign him tbh, so he’d have a season to push the hell out of Salah or actually displace him before Mo’s contract is up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From that aspect, I'd get why you'd want to try and do it sooner rather than later. I honestly think if no club gets him this summer, his price will only go up after the World Cup because he does look at home in that Brazil side. If Liverpool gave us £50m plus Minamino, it would be hard for us to turn down I think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathetic really as you lot and us need a complete rebuild so you'd assume we'd be the most active. NOPE. Us and City have way more stability though so it’s probably easier to act quick to make the signings we want. United have a new manager that probably wants to judge some of his current players in preseason before making final decisions. And their plans for continuity between this season and last season really went out the window with Rangnick. Chelsea have completely new owners. They could come out and splash the cash, but they’re also trying to make Chelsea have long term plans for the first time since before Putin’s pen pal was owning the club. Long term plans aren’t built overnight and Chelsea fans might have to have a bit more patience if they’ve got less reactive owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from that, under Klopp we’ve shown we’re willing to be very patient with big money signings even if it means keeping them out of the spotlight until they’re more comfortable with playing in our system - which I think removes some pressure from players in a sense when they’ve got big price tags on their heads. So I think you’re right about the financial side of things, but also in a footballing sense it makes sense we’d want him with us ASAP so he gets as much time in pre-season and more time to learn how we play and gel with the non-Brazilians in our side.

Stan 15,332 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Liverpool to start hoarding forwards like Man City just so other clubs can't have them . In all honesty, I can see him fitting in that squad perfectly. Got the tenacity, quality and talent to make an impact. Clearly too good for Leeds and I don't mean any disrespect to Leeds with that. He's just capable of playing at a higher level and in Europe I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would depend on Pep I guess. I'm sure if you asked Pep, he probably felt he had to play Rodri more than he'd have liked. I've no doubts KP could play in your team, he's been well coached by Bielsa and Pep obviously sees that and loves how disciplined he is in that role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the same incompetent board with no DoF in place, and the bloke who sanctioned the Lukaku + Saul deal in favor of Tchouameni still hasn't been sacked. So long as these members are still in place I have no confidence. What's likely going on is we are trying to get rid of players before bringing new ones in. Lukaku abd Barcelona unable to buy players (Alonso/Azpilicueta) the stumbling blocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick 1,918 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 If we managed to get Raphinha and Minamino moved the other way as part of the deal I think we’d have done some great business. I hope the rumour is true because I would much rather us bring in a somebody to replace Salah (in the long term) this summer so we aren’t expecting them to hit the ground running next august. Raphinha can be got for a relatively reasonable price in relation to his talent. Get him in before the World Cup like @Lucas says or we pay 30m on top. Klopp has admired him for a while, and we all know he’s class, makes perfect sense to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukaku abd Barcelona unable to buy players (Alonso/Azpilicueta) the stumbling blocks. Yeah well I think there will always be growing pains transitioning from one owner with a completely different style to another. Dealing with the fallout of the Lukaku disaster is tough because it seems like Lukaku wants Inter more than Inter wants him - so there's difficulties in trying to get him out ASAP and trying to recover as much money as you can. Barca are handicapped financially by the La Liga rules (which honestly seem pretty shortsighted, regardless of how poorly Barca's been run as now 14 other clubs in La Liga are judged to be in similar situations in a year most clubs would be still feeling the financial effects of the pandemic) and that seems to be causing a lot of slowdowns for various transfers it seems. Like Bayern with Lewa & Mane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas 3,239 Posted Wednesday at 10:15 Share Posted Wednesday at 10:15 (edited) Current situation according to the all seeing eye of transfers I can see Barcelona coming back if they sell De Jong, it gives them more money to raise their offer otherwise he's not going there. Then it could potentially be a three way tug of war between Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea. As stated before, if they want him enough, pay the money. We're prepared to lose him but for a price we want. That's all there is to it. Edited Wednesday at 10:16 by Lucas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storts 2,264 Posted Wednesday at 10:58 Share Posted Wednesday at 10:58 I don’t want him. Much rather Richarlison. Excellent player but not flexible enough for us. Richy can play through the middle as well as wide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
