    That's harsh on him. West Ham looking good and moving stadium, happy times for the club and he's OUT. Bad luck lad.

    We are not playing in Europe, to do well in the league we need to play youth in league cup plus some experienced players.
    Chelsea also not in Europe, top four is going to be tough. Jose already made United favourite for the title, though I do not take
    him serious. Arsenal may also struggle to make top four this season. Do not write off Liverpool for the title after all Leicester on
    the brink of relegation in previous season they won the league in the next season:laugh:.

    Heard rumours that Chilwell wants to move to arsenal.

    Ideally we get someone like hector but it looks unlikely.

    Hector and Dahoud would complete our summer perfectly.

    I'm completely naive with Dahoud, is he any good? Also, is he from da hood? :afro::emoticon-0164-cash:

    my sources told me his is similar to kante. an modern day player who reads and intercepts.

    Kante is very good at what he does but he's limited.

    We need a real playmaker who can dictate the tempo and is quick in transition. Dahoud looks the biz.

    Lee joining Allardyce
    Former Anfield favourite Sammy Lee will be joining Sam Allardyce’s coaching staff with England.
    Well he was never going to follow Ronald Koeman from Southampton to Everton and he worked for Big Sam at Bolton.

    Joe Allen – Likely fee – £13m

    Liverpool have accepted a £13m bid for the Welshman, who’s currently undergoing a medical at Stoke.

    Lucas – Likely fee – £5m

    Galatasaray have bid £2.5m for Lucas, but we could easily tempt a buyer into paying £5m for the experienced defensive midfielder.

    Lazar Markovic – Likely fee – £12m

    Sporting, Fiorentina and Schalke are all in contact with us regarding Markovic’s future, so £12m for a 22-year-old with bundles of talent is probably not a high enough asking price, if anything.

    Brad Smith – Likely fee – £6m

    Liverpool have accepted a £6m bid for Smith from Bournemouth.

    Luis Alberto – Likely fee – £7m

    We’ve put a £7m asking price on the Spaniard’s head, with Sevilla interested in taking him back to La Liga permanently.

    Christian Benteke – Likely fee – £31m

    Someone is going to take a plump on Benteke, with Liverpool requiring pretty much what we spent on him last summer to do business. Palace have already agreed to pay basically this sum although for various reasons a transfer stalled, but before the window shuts, a suitor will bid again. Benteke should move, after Jurgen Klopp hinted he’d struggle for minutes.

    Mario Balotelli – Likely fee – Zero

    Totally surplus to requirements, Liverpool will accept any bid or loan offer just to get Balotelli off the wage list.

    Jon Flanagan Likely fee – Loan (2m fee)

    Signing Flanno on loan for the campaign will cost Burnley, or any potential side, a £2m loan fee.

    Total: £79m

    Total including players already sold: £107.5m

    So what have we spent so far?

    Windy £25m

    Mane £34M

    Karius £4.7 M

    Total £63.7M

    So £40M left in sales...plus what? 60M unspent kitty.


    Say we buy a LB for 15M that still leaves 85M to add to next year's kitty if we make it into Europe.

    Kante's passing ability is under rated. he really has the right idea.

    Thats the same with dahoud. he's a good passer. I can see why if true klopp wants him. next gundogan.

    theres a good thread for this but some people would be nice so they can't see it any more.

    Your spending needs updates:

    wijnaldum 25
    Mane 34
    Manninger 0
    Karius 4.7mil
    Klavan 4.2mil
    Matip 0

    Thats 67.9mil..

    On the outgoing side the only one i'd dispute is alberto. I don't see us getting that fee back. however add in Ilori there and in total both might fetch the 7mil

    So in short it will be 75mil to come in if all that business does get done.

    We have taken in
    Ibe 15mil
    Canos 2.5mil
    rossiter 0.5mil
    sinclair 4mil
    skertl 5.5mil
    vigeroux 0.4mil
    27.9mil

    so thats 102.9 in

    35 mil net income total as far as i can tell. If it all happens.

    If you assume a 40mil transfer budget form TV moeny ok fine thats a 75mil budget to spend.

    Rumour suggests Dahoud is open to a move but his club are not willing to sell both key CM's in one window. If we bid over the odds we could get him I imagine. Otherwise I imagine we revisit the deal next year.

    He is worth £20-25m and is about 20-21 years old.

    Maybe £27-30m would persuade hi club. But do we get good value?

    Or he has a great season and his worth rises to £30m.

    I heard so too. It is a 30mil bid needed i think.

    Arsenal bought that swiss mad lad off them so they are flush and want to hold on for a year.

    I agree he is deffo worth a 25mil value which they seem to not want to take.

    The question is does Klopp consider this a vital gap to fill (I know we generally do).

    If so, and he's the target just pay what it takes.

    I assume if we don't buy him it's not considered an area of concern.

    I think klopp will want a new gundogan type yes. I think its absolutely vital for his game style and i don't think anyone Can included meets the requirements. Can can do a job but everyone we have right now are a type who wants to burst forward.

    I think he's gotta watch the cash though... I don't think the club has all that much cos while fsg gave interest free loans for that big stand... i don't think that if klopp returns a zero net spend we are going to just splash all the cash.

    It'd be no harm build a cash reserve anyway.
