Have we considered the possibility that both sides have agreed to the transaction, but are haggling over the way the deal is structured?

I'm Ignoring the entire thing and rocking in a corner due to our defensive shape.

if we buy a teenager for 6 or another player is not really changing what we've prepared and worked on for 6 weeks in preseason
 
southmapton have more issues than a minor cup like the efl cup. unless they get a home tie against a prem.clubs it's really not worth a damn thing but get in the way of the only thing that will matter

they must get back up or they won't be too worried about 47 or 50mil for lavia. the parachute payments re massive here.

I just googled and it does look like they've fielded a very weakened team.

Leeds, southampton AND Leicester competing for 2 auto promotion spots.

Nope

I still hold out hope that Klopp will mark pre-season down as a failed experiment and go back to playing proper football.

Nah. He's a great footballer, he just can't be in several places at once.

If he was Maradona, I could understand allowing him the footballing freedom, but he isn’t. He’s a very talented footballer but not one good enough to build a team around and he has defensive frailties

Leicester have been flogging the squad for over a year and their summer activity as been poor. They've got plenty of choice at GK though

That young lad at lw was half decent.
Ndidi is still a right clogger
Pereira at rb,
Faes and vestergaard are two lumps at cb
Winks and Hall round out that midfield


I don't think they'll be awful but we will see

They won't be awful but they won't be great either. I think they'll be in the championship beyond this season

Could be, I wasn't impressed with their manager anyway. A rude awakening in the championship awaits cos dicking about on your own goal line won't cut it

Perhaps that's a good reason to just stick him in midfield and be done with it, but in that case we need a regular RB - the "hybrid" role just doesn't work.
Sané's goal for Bayern was an example of everything that is wrong with this system.

If we have learnt anything over the years, it should be, that preseason form is in no way, shape, or form a prediction for how we will do when the season starts.

Can't get too optimistic, or pessimistic about the season from a few preseason warm up sessions.
