We have quite a few players who can deputise for Trent. Not ideal but the Moreno replacement is more important.

Great point, how do we replace Alberto?

 :) You know what I mean -- we were bloody lucky Robertson motored through that season. Doesn't seem as if Lewis is going to be the next big breakthrough; Larouci a bit young still? (Anyone who's watched the youth teams more than I have, please feel free to disagree).

I agree, we have been linked to the Ajax and Bristol City LBs.  Quite like the look of the latter - Lloyd Kelly I think

Yep we need a LB and I don't think anyone from the academy is ready. I wonder if we might go for Lloyd Kelly of Bristol. His name keeps popping up and he seems to fit the profile of a youngster with a bit of first team football who would be happy to be deputy to Robbo and learn his trade.

As you say, we have a few players who can fill in at RB and that's why I don't think we'll recruit there and instead give Hoever the chance to develop in to the number option ahead of the likes of Gomez and Milner.

Lloyd Kelly is supposedly someone we’re no longer interested in.

We are supposedly looking for a left back, but in region of £15m as a fee.

From the little I have seen of him, he seems to be a versatile, talented forward, good eye for goal, good determination, reasonable size, strength, pace, shooting - all adding up to a good proposition

JK clearly loves him and that's good enough for me!
Is he like Rashford then?

Are you implying that Lloyd Kelly's £18m price tag is what's putting us off, or is it his performances/stats that don't impress us?

The general consensus is that we sign one or at most two players and neither will be above the £15m region (give or take).

One left back one versatile forward.  (Although we do seem to have been properly linked with Pepe who would be quite a bit more than this.)

The general consensus among journalists? Where do we find a quality attacker for 15million? That is what Ibe was sold for a few years ago, and it’s 4 million less than Solanke.

Not quite related to the thread, but why is there a common opinion among journalists and among some fans that we don't have money?

Last season, I remember that the general talk was that we had money because we were back in CL, reached the Final, nice little revenue and we'd sold Coutinho as well. Now the TV revenue is higher (genuine query?), we've reached the same CL stage (could be better), and what else has changed except we haven't sold Coutinho. So, considering that, we can chop off the money we had to get Alisson and VVD, we may not have that. That should still leave us enough to get a Fabinho level and a Shaqiri level (not positions, but in terms of cost) signing instead of 2 Shaqiri level signings as being mentioned right? Why are we short? And this without considering outgoings, we have a few that we may let sell for decent prices put together. We won't get such cheap signings that we're looking for our level unless there are some abnormal clauses like Shaqiri had, and the chances of it is remarkably small.

I mean, I'm ready to be educated here by those good with accounts and stuff, I just want to know if there's something substantial behind this common idea that we're short on money for this window. One or two educational posts and then we can hold it for the transfer forum.

The consensus is that we’ve spent loads so probably can’t spend that much again. In addition any one improving the team would be vastly expensive and not really needed.

It looks like a BS kind of a fantasy where if they keep throwing this around then the narrative will catch on. Then they can hope that Klopp will buy the narrative that we don't have any money & our squad is complete, while the clubs these journalists write about make progress in the window?

Our team is complete, not our squad, although it is close to. We've spent loads but only because we could afford to, we sold heavily (not just Coutinho, but other players adding to the overall sales), and we reached the CL final, and TV money. While all that has remained the same again, except the big sale and with our popularity & pedigree going higher, isn't it all bollocks? Not needed? How? We'll be in trouble if any one of Salah, Mane, Firmino, Robertson, or TAA gets injured. I'm not saying we should go VVD and Alisson in terms of spending, but I'd be thinking we can go Fabinho and Shaqiri, spend about 60m plus sales on a couple of players. Who can tell me legit that we don't even have the cash to do that?

The lad that played LB in the Youth cup final, looked awesome to me, a bit rough around the edges, and possibly like camacho not a full back but was different class.

He's probably 2 years from being ready for PL level first team.  Needs to do it at U23 level then at pro level.  As he is a reasonably recent convert to LB, the challenges are greater and he would be exposed if rushed.  He did look very good and you would like to think both he and Adam Lewis would have very careful progression plans and we will monitor both.  That might be part of the difficulty with deciding whether to go for Lloyd Kelly - it would really risk shutting the door on promising slightly greener prospects we have coming through.

Hopefully Larouci gets a full season with the u23s against better, more physically developed players and isn't moved around a lot like Lewis, or kept away from the u23s like Hoever was.

For Lloyd Kelly, everything I've read about him paints him more as a Joe Gomez type fullback back, playing there to get minutes but long term more likely to be a centre back. He also seemed to lose the left back position to jay DaSilva for the second half of the season.

What I really like about Woodburn and Brewster is their confidence.
You can see and hear it when they're interviewed.......and of course when they play.
This bodes well.
I think all the great players either have shining confidence or inner confidence....but confidence in their abilities to affect the game nevertheless.

The opposite would be players like Lazar Markovic.

Both Adam Lewis and Yasser Larouci looks interesting for the future, none of them are ready to cover for Robertson yet in my opinion though. Adam should go on pre-season with us and then look for a loan while Larouci makes the step-up to the U23's.

Which "youngsters" do you think will join for pre-season? Wilson? Brewster? Woodburn? Ojo? Lewis? Hoever? Grabara?

Wilson nailed on as firmino and salah will be back late

Brewster is first team squad now anyway so he’ll get a good run

I’d expect Grabara to go on tour as well but suspect  hoever won’t

I think Hoever will be on tour. 
There'll be plenty of opportunity for the early games against lower opposition before they go on tour you would have thought with the Copa America, Africa Cup and Nations Cup, because so many of our players will need a good break.   But the missing players might be back midway through the tour.  I think the best of the rest up front (so not including current first team squad of Wilson, Brewster, Woodburn, Curtis Jones), is Liam Millar but not sure he's fancied and neither has he set the world on fire with Kilmarnock since January - although he's come off the bench is just about every game.    I'd really like Camacho to stay because I think he has quality, and is more consistent (a year older may be why) than Curtis Jones.  He'd get time on tour, but then he got time last year.  Glatzel and Duncan seem to come as a package, bit mean to give one a go and not the other, unless the headline the other day is true and Duncan wants to move on to further his career opportunities.  In one way I can understand that.  He's already wasted a year not playing while trying to leave Man City.  Still he has time on his side, he's only 17 or 18 and might have some growing to do, so probably should test himself in U23s more.

Christie Davies is probably one of the older U23s  who if not on the tour, needs to move on.  Ojo and Ejaria will be gone (I think).

I dont think there's anything wrong with players looking at their situation at any age and wondering if its the best thing for them. Next contract Duncan signs is likely going to be 3-5 years, taking him in to his early 20s which wil cover his break through in to senior footbaall. He isn't reportedly doing anything different to what Brewster or Solanke did for example. If you're not getting convincing gurantees from the club, or theyre signing players to bloke your path then it's the right thing to start looking elsewhere. People criticise youth players for just signing up for the loan farm of teams and for looking to move away from that.

But how much were we going to pay for Fekir last season? Surely we have cash for transfers.

I think the club is just trying to dampen the hopes of clubs and agents.

I think the best of the rest up front (so not including current first team squad of Wilson, Brewster, Woodburn, Curtis Jones), is Liam Millar but not sure he's fancied and neither has he set the world on fire with Kilmarnock since January - although he's come off the bench is just about every game


Just had a look on a Killie forum.  They like him, are surprised at Steve Clarke’s gradual, long term approach to playing him.  They seem to be making moves to another years loan and hope he will stay.  They fear Gerrard swooping.  Clarke rumoured to be appointed Scotland manager though.  But sounds like Millar has been doing quite well
