Well it looks like Konate isn't going to sign a new contract. So even if we did get Guehi in the summer, we'd still need another CB.Upamecano rumours won't go away
And taking into the fact that Leoni wont be able to play until this time next year and it'll probably take him another 3-6months to get back to full fitness.
Apparently Real Madrid want Upemecano, Guehi, and Konate all on frees in the summer.
We should try and buy Guehi in January and then go for another CB after Konate leaves.

he is a truly dreadful CBUpamecano rumours won't go away
Yep, I don't understand how he attracts interest from top clubs.........having said that he is at BM at the mo.
we really lack pace at the moment. any links to a winger?
I worry ghehi looks at us and thinks, I'll go elsewhere now
I worry ghehi looks at us and thinks, I'll go elsewhere now
The funny thing is, in pre-season and the first few games, I thought we looked quicker than we had done since Mane and Mo were in their pomp. I don't think we've lost pace per se, so much as looking completely confused and, at times, static and bewildered.
Or he believes in himself and that he can come in and make a difference
We've also got plenty of pace, we just don't use it.
I agree. Slot said earlier this year he likes quick players, hard workers and good decision makers. That's what he's bought, pretty much but as you say he's not using tactics that take speed into account. The build up is so slow and that doesn't suit the players we have.Or he believes in himself and that he can come in and make a difference

The opposition often use a low block against us too (which they're entitled to do) meaning pace isn't that effective. Acceleration (and thought process) can be, not pace.
The slow multiple touch build up play frustrates me though. Move the ball quicker, and if you're going to cross it then cross, you don't need seven touches and you don't need to try and beat your man. You certainly don't need to run to the byline, cut back, pass it to the next man only for the ball to end up back with the CBs again.
The biggest problem is the too slow passing at the back and the midfielders , not moving into space to bypass the press.
Yes.
Slot started out making the plauers endlessly pass it about but emphasis on 1 and max 2 touch stuff.
Thry eventually saw the opportunity and go quickly.
They also wouldn't ****ing attack if in a lead which was very annoying.
He had one or two key things win duels, spent back a work.
I see none of any of this now.
It is guys taking 5 touches.
It is guys wandering off up the park expecting others carry the ball to them.
Its a million miles from the side he started with and imo thats not personnel.
it is the coaching.
Close the gaps. Hold the lines, compress the play.
About time that stingy FSG got its chequebook out.

To be fair, we need a CB, a DM, and a goalie more, though Semenyo should have always been on the radar before some of the other buys we made last summer.

100% I'd have taken Semenyo over Isak
(I didn't want Isak for that price)
TBF, Semenyo was my pick before the summer started so I'd have taken him over everyone else
Edit; Isak will come good though imo

I'd swap Isak for Semenyo in a heartbeat. I've got nothing against Isak, and I rate him highly, but anything over £80m was ludicrous, never mind the £130m we ended up paying. And I said this, along with two-thirds of this board, before we were even linked with him.
Its paid now.
Moving on and assuming lfc have lots of spare cash we need to now get salah replacement. We all said so last yesr even wanting his contract as it should be giving us the time to solve all the other issues.
And striker was a big issue.
Right now we just got to get it together.
agree but with doubts about your edit100% I'd have taken Semenyo over Isak

Liverpool's net spend for the two windows in 2025 combined is less than Arsenal's, City's, and even United's. We still have access to another £250m if we want before nudging PSR, I read somewhere, and the commercial figures for this summer, which will be released next year, are astronomical, if the reports coming out of the club are to be believed. We have more money to spend. Tbf, I'd rather we spent it on TWO CBs and a DM though, but if Semenyo becomes available in January, we must get him, imo. Sell Mo to the Saudis. If that's what's needed.
