more news on the great ben davies. 500k loan fee with 500k bonus if sheff utd get promoted. a profit centre right there. Current sit rep: Grabara £3m Millar £1.3m Grujic £10.5m Awoniyi £6.5m Wilson £12m = call it about 33mil recouped from the market Shaqiri awaiting his move. 8mil max fee. Phillips as a couple of clubs sniffing a bargain on the deadline day. Southampton and Brighton. Origi has a few half interested if he was a free. nobody is offering to take him. the loan list is starting to be drawn up Rhys williams, Woodburn, karius, ojo all issues to be resolved. One signing in Konate at £36mil Likely a net income rather than net spend this summer.
Need to sell Ojo and Karius. Ojo needs to move for his own sake. He's 24, its about time he made a permanent transfer, he's had 6 loan clubs. Karius is a problem, just can't see anyone who'd want him. Make or break season for Woodburn, either he knuckles down and starts to get near his potential or we should get rid for whatever we can get for him.
Not looking likely right now. But then a legend like Davies should be able to help them shore up their back line.
there had been a rumour that Chelsea had been offered lewandowski before they signed lukaku. So a virtual 33 year old is not worth 100mil but a 28 year old who regularly falls over the ball is. thats the power of age i suppose.
The above imo are just total after thoughts. Shaqiri and origi are blocking moves and improvements. As long as klopp has then he cant buy another foreign player and seems to put up with them. We will not buy if shaq goes imo. Both need to before we do a deal.
Not sure if we’ll sign anyone else this summer. Might wait and see if/where needs strengthening in January though
I think klopp has said hes happy with the squad as is and may see elliott as giving him a squat little **** who will run about on occasion. Maybe minamino has made a power impression on klopp and is better than mbappe?
I reckon Elliott will replace Shaq but as he’s so young, there’ll still be a foreign slot open won’t there? Leaving the door open for a decent midfielder maybe?
