Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours thread

We were lucky with injuries up top last season and with Robertson/Trent too. Still think our squad is paper thin

 

Since we appear to be keeping Lala I assume part of the reason will be to help with the "home grown" quota .
If Migs goes would expect we try to buy a "HG" replacement for same reason.

 

Naby Keita backed to start for Guinea

Inside Liverpool's transfer window & current state of play at Melwood
The real story behind Liverpool's transfer window as speculation rages on

liverpoolecho.co.uk
Nicolas Pepe could move to Anfield as part of a blockbuster move and it’s very much possible that the apparent lack of inside knowledge on Michael Edwards’ transfer negotiations could hint towards an Alisson-esque resolution to some major moves.

The Ivorian would reportedly cost £70.9m so it would make sense for Klopp to ensure leaks don’t ruin the club’s chances of agreeing on a deal with Lille.

I agree that we have to be careful who we bring in. I think some believe that we're not improving unless we bring in a big name - but big names too often come with big egos and big wage demands, and both of these things have the potential to upset the balance within the squad.
Apart from a more creative midfielder, it's hard to see where the first XI can be significantly improved upon. Certainly the squad needs bolstering, but if Klopp brings in a number of "lesser" names that he thinks are the right fit then that's fine by me.

Give me a paper thin squad that can get 97 points. I think you underestimate our squad too much . One thing that is very clear is we have multi position players and this allows us to accommodate any injuries without significant impact on the results.
There are youth players knocking on the door in Brewster and Jones while Ox hardly played last season. I think there is a TAA type player in those two youngsters. We also have a more settled Keita who I personally believe will play way better than the past season.

Only place I'd sign someone is left back and at a push right back . We are better moving on players like Lallana from the wage bill at the moment.

 

for me I've written out our squad several times now. it doesn't need to be done again

we've 3 or 4 genuine world class players and as long as they play all is well.

we've 2 players for every position bar lb and up front is highly debatable quality.

it's not thin imo. but we cant afford long injures to top men

 

Please bore us all again @Zanjinho in disguise

 

Don't you have to say stuff to be boring?

 

Wan Bissaka to Utd for £50m. Decent signing imo

 

nope.

 

Zaha to leave for Arsenal.

 

Chris is a right boring **** nowadays then...

 

The word is Lala is staying and is very much part of Klopps squad plans. Mel Reddy says so, so it must be true

 

I like Mel

 

She's as cool as ****

 

I've heard the young fellow in the bottom left corner may be about to sign.........any truth in this Dribs?

 

Good lad. Not ready for a CL club yet, but give it a few seasons and he'll be ripe to move on from Uniturd.

 

But we weren't lucky with Trent (or Jo Go), and hence we played hendo at right back against Leicester that, possibly, were the two points lost that would have won us the league. Senseless letting Clyne go in Jan, imo. We need a right back as cover, and to allow Trent to play in midfield too for some games. WB would have been good for us, but not at that money.

 

True - he's said nothing of interest for ages.
