Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours thread

Liverpool hope to restart talks with Georginio Wijnaldum over a contract extension in the next few weeks. [

Adrian is out of contract next summer and I’d be very surprised if he was given a new deal.” [

Bit quick to judge there. He's a better defender than Trent was at 19, imo.

 

where as i'd be ****ing amazed .

 

I probably am being harsh but I don't see Neco ever displacing Trent - which will always be difficult because Trent is a generational talent.

With that said, we need reliable cover at RB. Neco has improved but he's still very raw and he doesnt offer much going forward.

 

I think both will be able to carry on into their mid-thirties. I've said for a while I'd cash in on Salah (at his peak) to get Mbappe (still at the start off his curve, got a decade in him yet)

 

If you'd have said this a couple of years ago I'd have laughed hysterically - but our regaining a position amongst the very best of European (and therefore World) clubs makes it not quite so absurd.
However, I still think it highly unlikely that we would spend that sort of money on any one player, no matter how good, unless he was filling a gaping hole in the team that was keeping us from success. Yes, we spent on VVD and Alisson, but Klopp had identified their positions as crucial to our progress.

 

Fabinho has been offered a new contract extending beyond his current contract which ends in 2023.Inevetably he is going to finish his career at Anfield.

 

If he agrees to it.

 

Great news. One of the best signings we have made in recent times and for a relative bargain (£40m). World class defensive midfielder and proving to be a very good centre back. We've not seen it yet but he can also play right back.

 

we need a poll for that.

rank the "best signings" of recent times.

Robertson - best value for money by an absolute mile .

 

There's a number there, that I just can't choose from.

I feel like mane started the revolution, but salah kicked up on another level.

Vvd took the defence from below average to one of the best in the world, but so did alisson.

We wouldn't be the same team without our flying Scotsman,

Its very very difficult

 

Bobby?

Why are some in bold?

 

I think using the word "best" on its own is too vague. Best value? Best player? Best impact? Etc

 

Bias.

 

'Best' is too ambiguous best for what? but agree for value it's got to be Robbo.

 

FFS

 

It makes it a bit easier, but even then I struggle.

Eg best value, most would point to robertson because he was so cheap, but 40 million for mane or salah was an absolute steal.

Then again looking at vvd I think he was cheap at 70

 

I’ll go with a top 10 biggest impact to squad and success we’ve had over last 3 years.

Alisson
VVD
Salah
Mane
Fabinho
