    Probably not but we NEED to sign 3.

    Ox, Naby, Milner all most likely leaving.

    Hendo ****.
    Fab regressing
    Thiago injury prone and contract running out

    Jones and Baj promising
    Elliot not suited to CM

    you've zero evidence of that. that's press talk.

    I'd suggest gakpo alone is the nearest evidence of our approach and thinking.

    Jota Gakpo Salah Clearly klopp favours jota and is favouring gakpo cos he gets it. We have been getting diaz back in.

    Think about it like this; last summer we shopped in Portugal for a Uruguayan but this summer when we shop in Portugal for a Uruguayan it'll be a totally different thing?

    :)

    If we buy a CM from the same sort of place ward would be very comfortable shopping how is it really much different?

    Need is not in question. I think most everyone would agree with NEED.

    What will happen however is already been communicated in the usual propaganda way. We only need 2 apparently according to the talking heads telling us waht FSG are willing to do.

    Again if we do the maths we will likley sell players such as kelleher, phillips, clarkson, williams, carvalho, bradley and maybe even matip to fund alsong side 50mil actual budget (the usual)

    so when we work it out we will spend about 130mil IMO, then take back in 70.

    Everyone will tell us FSG have seriously backed the club when in fact the club will have self funded entirely.

    We bought two attackers who profile completely differently to what we had previously ... I think that's enough evidence. Not to mention the numerous articles that Klopp and Ljinders had more influence recently :)

    But as long as it makes you happy, then I'm happy. Because it looks like now, we have a proper plan in place.

    but but.. you literally paid gakpo a compliment only recently. <laugh>

    LFC policy. buy young, buy increasing vlaue.

    Nunez 23 and signed on terms that enable increasing value via add ons.
    Diaz bought at 24.
    Gakpo bought at age 23 with massive scope for increased value

    Gakpo has been good defensively but he's still massively short compared Bobby ... and that's a regressed Bobby we're talking about.

    I think the recruitment is based on more than just age ... with that said, Thiago is another prime example of us deviating from the process. Plus giving out large contracts to **** player. I just hope you're happy - that's my main priority.

    and you think we buy players ready made to go??

    do you even remember Bobby under Rodgers?

    we buy on age and ability to increase value.

    even jota at the time was arginal on age but value before injury would have been very high as he was key to Portugal.

    look at all the players bought

    tsimikas. cheap, easy to make back.
    minamino. cheap on release clause easy profit
    carvalho. easy profit on tribunal fee.
    ramsay, very cheap
    Bradley. very cheap

    the list goes on and on and on.

    diaz was cheap enough as well. we'd be able to sell him on a profit even now.

    nunez, name 3 forwards who are more suited to the prem in terms of running and power. it's 100mil to even start talking these days so even his terrible shooting hasn't devalued him awfully (yet)

    please do not confuse the spending of our 50mil net budget with the making do we engage in on the other side.

    the budget dictates we will make so with absolute crocks.

    we are saying no to Bellingham (as I predicted ages and ages ago) simply because dortmund were always going to charge oil money and get it from an oil club.

    ugarte is another that represents value as demonstrated by Chelsea buying Enzo fernandez for 105mil. get the next lad for half that and you can sell on.

    I think you need to be happy that we're getting Ugarte, MacAllister and Jude ... and hopefully a LCB/LB to replace Robbo.

    well that is not #onthelist
    you'll be lucky to get one.

    brighton will price us out of macallister. 70mil for a 35mil player is nonsense.
    Ugarte makes sense
    Bellingham is going to oil state.

    we have 2 lbs. senior lbs. no replacement there.

    CELTA Vigo star Gabri Veiga had talks with both Liverpool and Manchester United. It's now a matter of choice.

    yeah but the club is actively telling us via the propaganda machine that we won't.

    Going to Utd then
    Part of their negotiating process is the player must state publicly they are considering Liverpool
    Then the player looks like they chose Utd :bandit:<laugh>

    ahem GAKPO?

    part of the utd plan is to be linked, state publicly they are interested. **** round for 3 months and then act shocked the player ends up elsewhere.

    then claim he was never any good anyway.

    No he isn't. There are 2 options if you ask me, us or Real.

    Z said in another comment about Haaland having his head screwed on. I disagree. You don't go to an oil state if you really have your head screwed on because , for me, that phrase speaks to integrity as well. Bellingham I think does have his head screwed on and would pass on all of them. He's in the game for winning trophies not money.

    Would a "summer rebuild" consist of just 2 signings?

    He turned down a bumper pay increase to keep his release clause. That release clause ensures him options in the future. He's done it at every club which as enabled him to move clubs easier.

    Those clubs don't lose out; sure they have to sell him for less than he's potentially worth but they signed him for less too.
