    Well feel free to quote me in a few months but I have it on good authority that all three will stay, or leave, or some stay and some leave.

    Liverpool are prepared to meet the buyout clause in Dean Huijsen’s Bournemouth contract after identifying him as a long-term replacement for club captain Virgil van Dijk.
    Bournemouth, who signed the 19-year-old from Juventus for £12.6m in July, have many suitors for the 6ft 5in centre-half but Liverpool have shown by far the strongest interest. They are expected to make their move once the summer transfer window opens.
    The buyout clause in Huijsen’s contract is reportedly £50m which would be comfortable for the champions-elect in a way it might not be for two other interested clubs, Manchester United and Tottenham.
    Unless they win the Europa League, neither has a chance of offering Huijsen Champions League football. There are also strong links between Anfield and the Vitality Stadium.
    Richard Hughes, Liverpool’s sporting director, was Bournemouth’s technical director until last summer.
    Although the signing was completed just after his departure for Merseyside, Hughes – who grew up in Italy – was involved in bringing Huijsen from Juventus, for whom he had played one senior game.
    It was his performances while on loan to Roma that persuaded Bournemouth to bring the Dutch-born, Spanish-raised defender to the Premier League.
    Investing heavily in a 19-year-old may appear risky but Huijsen, who speaks four languages, has shown himself to be an adaptable and technically excellent defender.

    Apparently after two of Bournemouth's players. I would be surprised if they let both go.

    : Liverpool are closing in on in-demand Bournemouth full-back Milos Kerkez as the Premier League leaders step up their search for squad reinforcements ahead of the summer.
    Kerkez has long been identified as Andrew Robertson’s long-term replacement at left-back, but with Real Madrid, Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal all having expressed an interest, Liverpool are trying to get on the front foot and are making moves now.
    Contact has been made with Kerkez’s representatives, The i Paper has been told, while Liverpool have made initial contact with Bournemouth, but no bid has been tabled yet.
    Bournemouth will not sell for less than £40m, according to sources.
    Kerkez is understood to favour a move to Liverpool over the other options. A link-up with Liverpool director of football Richard Hughes, the man who brought Kerkez to England during his time on the south coast, is one of the reasons the 21-year-old sees himself at Anfield.
    Kerkez has also changed agents recently – Fali Ramadani – an experienced figure who has worked extensively with Liverpool before and oversaw Federico Chiesa’s move to Anfield last summer.

    Lots of links of Diaz and Barca.

    Think he’s a good player but his output isn’t top quality. Had spell earlier in season where thought he was upping it but seemed a purple Patch.

    do think he’s one player that has some trickery and flair but if it’s between him and gakpo, gakpo is number 1 wide left and Diaz isn’t good enough to be number 1 CF.

    if can get 70m for him would be very happy to take and reinvent that

    He has had his agent working triple time.

    He doesn't want to see put his deal and won't sign a new one so yeah, get the maximum and move him.

    The arsenal link is hilarious work

    Play a gsme.

    1. Make any assumptions you like about lfc and contracts.

    Keep whoever
    Sell whoever
    Think of whatever budget you feel is right.

    2. Name your Liverpool team for the opening day next season.

    Plenty of links to the French lad, Cherki. Obviously needs mito's approval as he's only 5'10".

    You know the rules.

    Central players need to be tall.

    Midget cbs like guehi for example are out.

    If you are building a prem team the spine of the team needs to match up.

    You only need look at the disaster of a league cup final to see what I mean. Slot clearly didn't read the rules as he put a midget macallister on a giant burns amd lost the final as a result.

    Short arses are however advantageous out wide. And as such the rules cease to apply as you go further up and wide.

    Cherki is a player who could play wide so he is fine.

    The league cup final should be a #101 classroom for those seeing to understand "the rule"

    We hoofed it for most of the game at jota or daily who got absolutely dominated by Newcastle. We sent on nunez who then wasn't bothered to do his job but he should have at least had some joy.

    Newcastle hoofed it at isak who got dominated by vvd as well.

    Robertson let 2 over his head (****e at the back post always) one truck his back and one was a goal.

    Get me some taller defenders!

    Slot put macallister at the back post and put all his tall men totally around the 6 yard zone. He was found out after 5mins and made zero effort to change it.

    Again that's the prem.

    Lfc have quansah (barely tall enough) konate and vvd (massive) gravenberch and szoboszlai (nice heights for cms) all 5 stood watching dan burns make a fool out of macallister.

    Almost like as if I didn't just make this stuff up eh?

    It's almost like you haven't got past the cup final <whistle>

    Slot likes wide men and 1v1 specialists. Cherki doesn't fit the bill with regard to the second part there, even though, by all accounts, he's very easy on the eye.

    Just saying it proves the point.

    Follow the rules and you.cannot go too far wrong.

    There are more rules but you don't need to know all those just now.

    Example is: don't sign dickheads. also known as the balotelli rule.
