    Add your clubs transfers in here along with what you think of the said transfer.

    Liverpool so far...

    Matip - Very happy one of the best centre back in the German league last season
    Karius - A very promising keeper, I think he'll be first choice very soon
    Grujic - A young midfielder no idea how that'll go

    Looks like Ibe on his way £15M to Bournemouth, it wasn't happening for him last season and we have another youngster Ojo who is ahead of him now so it would seem a good deal.

    Wanyama;

    Looks ok for the money and would give a very strong defensive midfield, if paired with Dier.

    Bit of a card magnet, though!...

    I think so. For certain games, anyway.

    Ron-Robert Ziegler - goalkeeper - German international - young promising keeper to provide genuine competition
    Luiz Hernandez - Centre-back described as the best defender Atletico came up against last season by Diego Simeone - happy again
    Nampalys Mendy - defensive midfielder - eas first choice target for position this time last year but couldn't get him so brought in N;Golo Kante - still happy <laugh>
    Ahmed Musa - due to sign 4 year deal todat subject to medical - reported to be 'even quicker than Vardy' -

    Outgoings
    Nobody of note so far ...lots of rumours

    Zlatan Ibrahimovic - experienced proven centre forward for a season or two on a free.
    Eric Bailly - don't know much about him but appears to be a decent prospect and we need centre halves, if a tad expensive.
    Henrik Michitarian - right side attacker, very much needed. The missing link in attack. Can also play at 10 apparently (can't they all!!) but will hopefully be a good deal more flexible than our previous purchase from Dortmund in the similar position.

    All good, no complaints. Add Pogba to that and we'll be flying.

    ... being serious for once rather than just taking the **** and winding you lot on here up .. this is 'Leicester City' ...perennial yo-yo club ... I am still pinching myself about everything tbqh ... those players can't possibly be coming to us ... can they? ... and to strengthen a squad of existing quality beyond anything the club could ever have imagined ...

    Whilst it is only a local paper for sure, we are now being touted as the fastest growing football club brand in the world! ... mind boggling <yikes>

    You could do with a good centre back the main men are knocking on a bit.

    One of your strong points last season was that team selection was fairly consistent and brought about a strong team spirit. With more midweek matches this season there will have to be bit more rotation. I don't really know much about the players you have bought but you have to hope that Ranieri has checked out their fit into the team ethic as well as their skill levels because as we have seen, fractures in the dressing room can have serious repercussions

    Ibe to Bournemouth for 15mil is crazy money <laugh>

    Hopefully we'll get our money back on Benteke too.

    All good so far. Happy with what we've got. Matip is a steal.

    One I'm hoping is pushed through now Ibe is going is Ante Coric. Seems very likely tbh.

    Chelsea to bid £51m for 29yr old Italian CB Bunnuci (sp) shows exactly how crazily stupid the football world currently is!

    12 months ago Livpl fans were saying the exact same about Sterling going to City for 50m and how the youngster Ibe was now ahead of him. It's poor show writing off your youth after 1 season.

    It's 1 player Treble. Sterling wasn't our youth, we bought him from QPR. Even Ibe joined us when he was 17 so he's not out and out academy.

    Ibe is good and will be useful to Bournemouth. We've potentially made a 60mil profit off 2 players that aren't what we need. Happy days.

    You have to make an assessment on youngsters the staff feel he's not good enough so he moved on. Nothing wrong with that it's not like he wasn't given a chance.

    A chance? One season? If that's all young players get to prove themselves at any club then that's stupid. Young players develop over time with good coaching. The step up from reserves to 1st team football isnt easy. The way LFC are going you're not going to build anything other than what you buy in.
