Newcastle wants £75m for Anthony Gordon due to renewed interest from Liverpool..

I agree with this. Bradley isn't properly fit atm and hasn't had the chance for much game time so he hasn't made the position his going forward because obviously it was Trent's. It will be interesting seeing both players fighting to be first choice. The LB situation is different mostly because of Robbo's age. His fitness and pace etc. will determine how the games are split between him and Kerkez, if he is the one who's coming. If not him, same applies to whoever we do get in.

You don't think they use pre-season to work on tactical tweaks or integrating new players?

Really?

 

Seen a few rumours about us going for Barcola. That would definitely get me excited tbh

 

Saw that earlier. I’m not sure we’ll see any real movement for few weeks now (other than Wirtz and Kerkez).

1, we need to sell a few players to generate space in the squad with foreign limits (Nunez tsimikas) and generate some funds.

2, psg are in the club World Cup so if they are planning on selling Barcola, it won’t be done during that tournament.

 

Players are usually all over the world for different tournaments and start coming back in stages. Lots of youngsters get playing time. Pre-season is used for testing tactics but I don't see it as meaningful in any way other than for fitness and the manager having a look at his new players and deciding on what to do with the fringe players and youngsters in the coming season.

 

Definitely not. The full squad is rarely available. It's all about fitness

 

Alexander Isak has signed a new contract with Newcastle.

No mate.

It's about working over time with as many as you've got.

Klopp used to do 3 sessions a day and patterns of play and structure were always a major part.

Yes you run them till they puke but you don't just run laps.

Every session is intense working through systems so the press and recovery is sharpened up.

This season will be one of the rare ones where lfc get many players back for 4 or 5 weeks to really work on those systems.

 

I was talking about the games rather than training sessions

 

Nunez set to be sold this summer, provided a sufficient bid is made. Management have decided to cash in, according to reports



Which just confirms what everyone knew already

 

Ok.

Yes the games are utterly pointless bar ticking off few boxes as you say.

 

I'll certainly cry when this happens, but if we're offered £20m+ we'd be insane not to take it, especially as we wouldn't be selling to another Prem side. I think Simeone would love Robbo's attitude as well. End of an era though.

 

Alisson Becker has been linked with a move to Galatasaray.

 

He’s already said no.
