It is a shame. Because their careers have halted through no fault of their own - just unfortunate circumstances. To be fair, they did become available at times but Klopp lost faith and just didn't pick them. I still maintain that Ox now would have been a better option at RCM than Hendo or Harvey.

Indeed, and I'm not particularly blaming them. But those two with Fabinho were our last big midfield beef-up and given age, profile etc. should have been mainstays for the last five years. Unfortunately, apart from Fab it didn't really work out like that.

Indeed.

We move on. We will be witnessing the dawning of a new era. If we get the expected signings we will have a good mix of age and experience, youth, pace and power.

That's always important and I think a big part in our success in the past is how close the team are to each other.

Mac, Thuram, Kone, plus one quality central defender is about as good as you could wish for in one window and will leave me pretty content we're well placed for a good top four challenge.

Someone homegrown would be nice to add to the mix although that can wait for future windows. I imagine Hendo's seasons left in the game are counting down.

well Ox was an obvious worry from day 1 as he was an English ex Arsenal player and they all had poor injury records .

We got some good months out of Ox when he first joined us... Was more of a success than Arthur.
 
Apparently after signing Alex Mac we've ended our interest in Mason Mount. I don’t know if him preferring Man Utd and agreeing personal terms with them played a role as well.

I mean, if we're truly getting Mac, Thuram, and Kone, I think it's a bit unrealistic to go for Mount too.

I like Mount, but his wages are a bit high and whereas, I'm not an accountant, and it's not coming out of my wallet, high wages subtract from any future transfer budgets so he's probably not the best option for us long term.

Wouldn't be surprised if Mount was a smoke screen. Good player and would have been an opportunistic signing at the right price (given his contract status) but if the fee and wages are going to be too high, then no point.

Linked to Veiga who is u21 so wouldn't count as non homegrown, except in the EL I think which has different rules for u21's.

The players we are after are all good now but also have huge potential which Klopp will undoubtedly bring out. Age wise we will be set up for a good few years - providing we get the players of course.

Spanish. another false 10.

who really knows until something is done.

the difference is macallister is really to go at 24. these other links are younger so maybe not so ready.

I'm going to predict mount will go nowhere.

I doubt even utd will pay 70mil for the guy when they could get for nothing in 12 months?

chelsea seem utterly unconcerned by ffp despite being 100mil in the hole and will 100% be charged once accounts are published. I'd be shocked if they don't go even worse the next years as well.

if cheslea don't start taking money in soon (21 days time) then they should be given a transfer ban.

anyone can replicate a couple of crocks.

look back to aquilani time. I'm sure we have had more crocks at the same as well.

my personal favourite was Mark Wright and molly, whelan, and a few others that should have been got sut of back in the early 90s.

Southampton have put a £50m price-tag on reported Liverpool target Romeo Lavia, but are unlikely to see it met.

when you are in the Championship it's difficult to get the full whack. if someone pays it fair enough but again I'd expect that to rumble on during preseason until player takes it into his own hands.

you have to be willing to do business.
