Topic: LIVERPOOL TRANSFER THREAD

[67CherryRed]

of course, and thanks for asking ... although that's not my point at all is it?

I don't really think we can tell Div to delay joining a club until after our season's finished, and we certainly can't tell Milan to keep it quiet. We have no control over the situation and I don't know who it's a distraction to to be honest, his team mates knew he was leaving, the fans knew he was leaving, if anything having absolute certainty over his future now is less distracting for Div himself.

It was me Muller.

Dammit Samie!

Dammit Samie!

Just to clarify, did Tchouameni eventually find his way to the training ground? I hope he's not got lost.

He ended up at Melwood and was incredibly underwhelmed.

He’s still at the school apparently!

[Robert_B]

Would we function quite as well in Soler's system?

We'd be out of this world.

[Sangria]

Can we see any signings to come out of the blue this summer? What with them getting relegated and all.

Inter and Leeds (should they avoid relegation) among the clubs eyeing Takumi Minamino this summer. #LFC ready to set an asking price of around £17m for a player who has 10 goals from just nine starts this season.

Nice! (No Roy, Inter and Leeds.)

[Barefoot Doctor]

I’m mildly curious to see who step into the shoes of Origi and Minamino. Squad players are important, and I think it helps that in Taki and Divock we had two players who know/knew exactly where they stood in the squad hierarchy, while being of an age - both 27 - where they have plenty of experience and nous. Shaqiri was similar, I suppose.

It’s an interesting balance to strike in squad management. Don’t think it’s as easy as saying that Bobby will just play the League Cup for example. Guess Carvalho is part of the solution, but not tons of experience, and same with Gordon.

[PeterTheRed ...]

I think that our priorities this summer will be:

1. Carvalho
2. Tchouameni
3. Backup right fullback (Ramsay ?)
4. 3rd choice goalkeeper (if Adrian is not re-signed)
5. Young striker

The striker I am expecting will be for the U-23 team ...

[Johnny Aldridge]

What’s the craic with núñez, he looked a player that fella. There was strong enough rumblings about him, now United are being mentioned....

[MonsLibpool]

Xamax?

1. Carvalho - Almost done I think
2. Tchouameni - Likelihood but no definite links. Would be a game-changer
3. Ramsay - Backup RB - pretty likely I think.
4. Nkunku - No reliable inks but one can dream . Game changer again.

Tchou Tchouameni Tchou Tchouameni Tchou Tchou Tcher ree
A sweep is as lucky as lucky can be
Tchou Tchouameni Tchou Tchouameni Tchou Tchou Tcher roo
Good luck will rub off when I shakes 'ands with you
Or blow me a kiss
And that's lucky too
Fa lah la la lah lah doo doopy de doo

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Did Tchouameni not visit any other schools yesterday?

We’ll probably get that thanks to his efforts this season. We’ll definitely get £15. Will be sad to lose him but the squad is beginning to get bloated so does need some trimming.

[PeterTheRed ...]

I don't think someone like Nkunku or Nunez is a possibility this summer, unless one of Salah, Mane and Firmino leaves. If we do sign another forward, it will be someone quite young, who will be training with the first team and playing in the domestic cups, but also for the U-23's. I like that we are being linked with Henrique Araujo from Benfica B, since the kid looks a real talent ...

https://youtu.be/-SB-SotPM_k

Being a Portuguese U-21 international, and a Mendes' client, he is destined for the Premier League sooner or later. Another option I am hoping we are after is Adam Hložek. He is yet to turn 20, but has already played a lot of senior football at Sparta Prague (both domestic and in Europe), and is already a full international for the Czechs ...

I think if Nunez was a big target we would go for him this summer even if none of the front 3 left. I just think his all round game isnt quite good enough for what it wold cost to get him

He reminds me of Fernando Torres.

We can't sign Nunez, with Salah, Mane, Jota, Diaz and Firmino here. There is simply not enough playing time for the 6 of them. And if Nunez is anything like Torres, he would be absolutely lethal under Klopp ...

Nunez might be absolutely lethal under Klopp but as you say, he'd have to be a starter every week while he develops and gets use to the system, and that ain't happening unless there is a huge departure from the squad -----and I'm not talking about Bobby.

[lamonti]

What’s the craic with núñez, he looked a player that fella. There was strong enough rumblings about him, now United are being mentioned....

His hype level went to 90 after Liverpool tie, then the underlying numbers gang started with the "his ball retention is a real red flag" stuff and a lot of people are convincing themselves he'd be a bad signing.

Might not be for us because we bought Diaz in his position, but he'll bang them in for somebody.

[Zlen]

I think Divock will rip it up in Italian league.
Really happy for him.

[clinical]

UOL again reporting we've been in contact with Antony. I think this much be in case Mane, Or Salah end up leaving. Nkunku or Moussa Diaby would be more suited in my opinion. I don't think Antony will be that great in this league. But I trust us to pick the right player anyway.

[No666]

Remind an old man: who/what is UOL?

[royhendo]

Who's Antony? Who's Antony? *fidgets in pants on bed*

UOL seems to be a Brazilian media type thing: https://twitter.com/UOL

[BarryCrocker]

Really happy for him.

If Lukaku was able to the Divick definitely will.

[robertobaggio37]

Mbappe staying at PSG, odds on incoming Madrid's bid for Salah as a result?

True, though in all honesty, I could see him going there.

I am glad that he is going to a proper club. Best of luck to him ...

I suppose anything is possible, but any deal for Salah going there would have to include Camavinga and Rodrygo coming the other way ...

And having more money for Tchouameni.

Can anyone really be considered a "game changer" for us?  I mean, we very well could win 4 trophies this year.  How much better can we really get?

[Samie]

Tchoo Tchoo is off to Real Madrid then if they're not spending any money on Mbappe.  That was his first choice anyway if you read reports.

Most likely. We best get a move on. Madrid won't have given up on Mbappe just yet.

[DelTrotter]

Real will hammer us in the final now too, will want to show Mbappe what he's missing.

[tubby]

Wonder if Real will try for Salah if Mbappe isn't coming.  They need someone for that right wing spot and if he shreds them in the final, I think they might move for him.

[JasonF]

Doubt it. He's already been checking out schools in Kirkby for his kids Annie and Clarabel.
