Guys, we are where we are. It'll be a lovely day tomorrow as the song goes. But at this juncture our games in Europe will mostly consist of a friendly or two in Dublin! PSG or us? AC Milan or us? These guys haven't seen Seahouses and Whitley Bay, never mind the Quayside. Now a bloke like Pukki, please hear me out for a moment, Pukki can be a statement signing for this moment. He'd fit, possibly more cosily than Wood has. It would tell the likes of cash strapped Lille that they've made one hell of a clanger if they want too much for their player, and we aren't lining up to be their b*tch. If he signed and scored his usual number of goals (his Prem average is 11 league goals per season for the poorest club - how many does Wilson typically get?), and he helped us get the odd win rather than a draw, helped us keep our 2022 "Champions League form" going (or let's get wildly delusional and say even improve it), then the Mbappes et al, who need Europe as a minimum to keep their massive egos massaged, would be a much easier catch when we take the next step. If I was to go further and delved into contraversial elephant in the room type questions, how about this - if Wilson is our top striker - he's class and we love him, how good does Pukki compare?
I'm kind of lost, why would we buy a striker to show Lille we're not their bitch when it's their centre back we're after.
Let me shine a torch on your path. Ekitike is the striker target we've been after and he plays for Reims not Lille.
All right men, I've edited my complicated post. I've also got a torch. It's shining on any club that keeps putting prices up for any player in any position we want. Last season it appeared to be Man U with Lingard. Today it's Lille with Botman. I guess many will try it on.
Progress, yes. But get someone better than or has the ability to be better than Wilson and not Gayle. That’s real progress.
We want progress. I'd have Pukki over Gayle. Pukki scores goals. Would he be of use next season, or even till January?
If anyone came in with £100m I think every Liverpool fan would take it. Truth is max anyone would prob pay is £50m which is meh really.
