Liverpool winger Harry Wilson has agreed a season-long loan move to Derby County.

Wilson has been in demand with the Reds having once again allowed the 21-year-old to depart for the Championship in search of regular first-team football.

And now the Wales international, who signed a new long-term contract at Anfield last week, has finalising a deal to join Frank Lampard's Derby.

And Gerrard thought he'd waste a season at Rangers.<laugh>

Interestingly Sky are suggesting that Chelsea are considering moves for Cech or Schmiechel. That’s come from nowhere - does this mean that they think Alisson is a no? Am speculating like a red top hack on a column inch bonus here, obviously....

Who's knows. the Cech link is just astounding. it's so ridiculous it might even be true.
 
Not sure we need a new one. Well not sure there's one available that will be a deffo upgrade on what we have especially since sarri will go 4 at the back.

Probs need a new striker but we will see how sarri does with morata and giroud. Think I would prefer a tricky and pacy winger myself like perisic

Cahill, Rudiger & Christenson? I think you definitely need one in there
 
It is a ridiculous fee for a keeper, but from our perspective, never mind labeling the position. What’s the price of the missing piece? What’s the price of putting us over the top? We need this. We need a keeper who has the quality of our outfield players.

Pretty much what I said earlier. If we had De Gea, we'd have won the CL last season. For some reason, keepers have always been under priced compared to other areas of the pitch. Yes forwards generally will be more expensive as they score you the goals that win game, but a keeper and defence are the one that make sure you don't lose them as well.

I also think that 15 years ago, defending was easier. You didn't need to be as good a defender because you could get away with a lot more. More fouling, shirt pulling, give the forward a kick early doors without getting a yellow. Nowadays, any kind of touch is a foul, and tackle is a yellow so defending has got a lot harder which means having really good defenders and keepers is far more important which means the very best are now catching up price wise with the rest of the positions.

yeh but is he one of the "very best" is more than open to question.

Christensen has plenty of potential. If we don't play him now he will be a lost youth. Rudiger I think is top notch. Also there's David luiz who hopefully has grown out of his clowning. Cahill can go.

We could also play Dave who I think would be better for us if we play a high line as he's so solid and is average going forward.

IF he signs and is good enough to earn us the extra points we need to either win the title( :bandit )or the CL the money either of those things would earn the club would more than pay for the transfer fee.

The club are obviously wealthy enough to pay the fee, if we don't take the opportunity Chelsea or Real will step in and the chance to sign him will be gone.
Klopp has been relatively (compared to City, Utd and Chelsea)frugal since arriving, giving the players already at the club a chance to impress(or not in many cases), now is the time to speculate to accumulate in the transfer market.
We need success and if you can't beat the ****ers by bargain buying join them in spending **** loads.<grr>

[HASHTAG]#LFC[/HASHTAG] are cautiously optimistic of securing Roma's Alisson, valued at £66 million, in what would be a world record deal for a goalkeeper. Talks are progressing well. Player has indicated his willingness to move to Anfield.

Buffon went for 51M Euro in 2001, so with inflation not a bad fee at 66m Euro in 2018 for a decent keeper. I just worry he will not be that good
 
In the end.. if we've saved up for 2 years and have it then buying exactly who the manager wants is fair enough.
