Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours thread

I have doubts about the two FBs but one is very young, the other could be more of an attacking player than a FZb.

I think Ekitike, Wirtz and Isak will all be quality for us in time

 

The net spend was certain unexpected and 35mil more was due to palace as well.

I'd expect us to go try guehi again and then we will see.

 

think we almost have to for 2 reasons
a) Leonji injury
b) Konate is far too often dreadful - though VVD is a big worry too

 

Imo we have to just play to strengths

Vvd is a big ass warrior. He doesn't want to be on his wkn drawn oit into full back channels with no cover in the middle.

Who would?

You could play 343 for example

Alisson
Konate vvd Robertson
Frimpong gravenberch macallister kerkez
Salah isak Ekitike

Or any form of combo like that.

We've pacey full backs full of running.
We've strong cms
We've central attacking midfielders
We've top strikers

We dont have pacey dribbling wingers.

Play to the strengths. Load the middle so the pace wide can run up and down and do their job.

We are doing the diametrically opposite.

 

I'm not worried about VVD. He's struggling yes but it's because he's surrounded by either new or out of form players...

We miss Alisson (who wouldn't?)
RB has been a problem areas
Konate has been poor overall
Kerkez is struggling
The midfield has been mashed up

 

my post was purely to do with buying a CB in Jan rather than any wider reference

 

Fair enough, but you did say "though VVD is a big worry too"

 

For those that love to read far too deep into everything...

Salah removed all references to Liverpool from his X account last night

 

He's changed his profile and photo, that's all. I'm not reading anything into it.

 

I don't use X. Just seen it pop up on various feeds today.

 

I don't use X or any other social media other than here but I read around a lot. I hadn't heard anything about it until you posted so I went looking. All the usual, obvious incorrect post about him deleting all references to Liverpool on all his social media. As I said, he's changed his profile picture to one with his children and dropped the bio altogether and that's it.

 

Rafa Benitez back in managemet, this time in Greece with Panathinaikos.

 

He always pops up where you least expect.

 

Forget buying anyone, we’ll have to sell first at this rate

 

Aston Villa wants Harvey Elliot to return to Liverpool.Elliot does not fit into thier system of play.

 

They don't want to trigger the obligatory £35 mill buy clause if he reaches ten appearances.I'll keep my fingers crossed they have to play him and hit ten appearances.
