12th of June till 1st of September
I'm not sure why some people think that Fabinho (or Henderson) are suddenly going to be fantastic again now we can rest them for some Europa games. They had plenty of rest this season, didn't they? Fab certainly did, and was still running in treacle for most of it. It's not a rest problem, from what I've seen.
@MaddockMirror Klopp admits there could be a delay for new signings, but said it's no problem. "The better the player you want, the lesser the desire of the club to let him go, so we are prepared for it,- if we have to wait 6-7 weeks (for a signing) it is not a game changer". Interesting comments, wonder who he's talking about.
We are 5th, out of the CL, fucked up the last two transfer windows and our primary target we found out we couldnt afford. There will be a bit of angst.Dont get me wrong, it would be silly if we have come 2nd or 3rd. But we havent, we have had a shite season.
Get in! We can wait til deadline day to miss out on our targets! Love it.
Klop”Connor Bradley is in the building yesterday. We have high hopes for him”.
Thank Fowler we're not getting Caulker
Watched this compilation of his time at Bolton the other day and I'm not sure where he fits in, he would've been perfect as backup to Trent in our previous formation. I'm going to whisper this under my breath, but watching this there were shades of Bale when he was a fullback.https://www.youtube.com/v/JxE6Pm8aDog
That's Romeo done
Crosby Nick never fails.
I'd like us to get Scott as well, but has there been any proper links with him?
Klopp on the impact of missing out on the CL: “From a financial point of view, it’s a big problem.Is Sander Berge still available?
See Minamino and Nunez.

Might be able to get Gallagher and Berge for £40 million, and then a returning Morton's going to be like a new signing
Far from the most encouraging words from Klopp here.Midfield rebuild on a strict budget perhaps then.Might be able to get Gallagher and Berge for £40 million, and then a returning Morton's going to be like a new signing
It isn’t though … I mean we can choose to make it one I guess
He wants to move to Spurs or Brighton and doesn’t like Liverpool. Source: Hedley Lamarr via a Bristol City youth coach (I think). It’s not Indy Kaila but I believe him. Feels like that will be one that never quite happens. A bit Will Hughes at Derby-y.
So solid work.
I’ve see more people on this thread moaning about perceived moaning than I have people genuinely moaning
Has anyone considered that the reason we pulled out of the Bellingham deal is that he wanted to wait to see whether we got CL or not and didn't commit for that reason? Klopp said “Guarantees are important, if we go for it, will we get it. If you put too much focus on something you only might get, all the rest of the market could be gone theoretically." We couldn't wait for Bellingham to make up his mind before going after other players, so we cut our losses and looked at alternatives in case we missed out altogether. That's sensible given what happened last summer.
high praise from the pun king, going to enjoy my 21 seconds of fame!
Can you even imagine. We'd have to nuke this thread from orbit, it'd be the only way.
I do think Mac Allister will happen. With the news of Mount wanting Utd I think it could well have been Mac Allister or Mount rather than both and Mac Allister is cheaper. I think will be Mac Allister, one young midfielder like Scott and that Wolfsburg defender now. £100m then sales to bring it back down to around £50m/£60m net in fees but significant savings in wages.
My point isn't that people can't be annoyed in general. Absolutely, fill your boots, the season was shite. It's people kicking off because we've been linked with players we don't like, then using that as a stick to beat the club with. Before the season has even ended! That's what's absurd. Transfer rumours are 95% nonsense. Let's see how we do once the window opens before we decide that we haven't fixed any of the problems.
I'm sure Kovacic only has a year left on his contract at Chelsea, Could pick him up for something like £15m maybe. They need to sell so.
