The problem is signing Bellingham when the squad was more where we wanted it could add the finishing touches and a long term Henderson/Thiago replacement. Now the midfield is a mess (in part by waiting for a player like Bellingham who may not come here anyway) as it now needs revolution rather than evolution because we've sat on our hands for years, or just reduced to spend.

Added to the fact all the super clubs want him now. And Boehly with his blank cheques.

Agreed. The only way it could make sense is if we sign maybe another player or two on a free like Laimer and MacAllister maybe? Not sure they're good enough for us to be honest, but surely better than Ox and Keita who are never available.

We've gone big in past transfer windows and then eased up in the next window, so I wouldn't rule out Bellingham + another ~£40 million signing. The question would be whether that would be enough to then keep us ticking over for a couple of seasons.

We have 4 senior midfielders out of contract who seem unlikely to renew (if Arthur did sign permanently that would also be a new signing) while 2 of out of our other main midfielders are an extra year over 30 next season and pick up injuries.

We could do with 3 in really unless we can rely more on Bajcetic/Morton and Elliott, Carvalho and Jones in which case 2 solid signings might suffice. These players are still inexperienced though.

The four players out of contract is a bit worse on paper than in reality though; we're looking at Ox who barely played last season, Arthur who has contributed 13 minutes, Milner who was winding down in minutes until our injury crisis and Keita who has played the most of the lot but even then has missed a lot through injury.

Assuming we focus on more robust players, which we're usually pretty good at, two players could comfortably cover the minutes that those four played last season and take some of the weight off Henderson/Thiago. Five senior players for three positions, plus Curtis/Elliot/Bajcetic would be a huge improvement over last season and probably the strongest midfield we've had under Klopp (assuming quality and durability of the new players of course).

Interesting source, as someone who casually watches the Egyptian League, I have no doubt Adel is someone who will have a very bright future ahead of him, but not sure we'll be in for him just yet.

I’m relaxed about whether we sign him. Our track record of signing alternatives has been very good so if he chooses to go elsewhere it’s a case of never mind, I’ll find someone like you.

If we can get 2 of the required quality and durability then yeah. The issue is come next season Thiago and Henderson need to be winding down more (in addition to their injury issues) and we're relying on younger players really stepping up.

Don't need a third choice striker. We spent big on forwards, got to trust Jota, Salah, Nunez, Carvalho, Diaz to do the job whilst spending elsewhere. If we really feel we need someone it's got to be someone to rotate with Salah, but given how little you'd expect them to play should just give Gordon and Doak minutes there.

I fear this goes the way of Jadon Sancho. A good 2/3 seasons talking about him joining us when there's seemingly actually no interest at all from our end, and he inevitably joins a 'rival' to much consternation because we've missed out on a player we never wanted. He plays pretty much exclusively centrally now, unless we either give up on Nunez pretty swiftly or pretty dramatically change how we play then its hard to see where he'd fit in (unless we're spending that much money on a back-up). And yeah....I mean the seemingly quite solid news is that he's had a medical and agreed terms to join Chelsea, would seem odd to go from that to joining Liverpool.

We made do with basically 3 and whatever Origi and whoever were able to offer at our best. Should be able to trust those 5 and not need a 6th choice. I mean if we had someone who could split there time between midfield and as a forward then great, but not really something we've ever really had or done, shouldn't be a priority.

But we had a settled, reliable front three in them days. Do we at the moment? I would argue we are more in a stage of flux at the moment. Diaz and Nunez are not yet Bobby and Mane in 2018-20.

I'm probably been biased but Diaz has started brilliantly this season, I think he's been very unlucky on the goal front and he's still managed 3 goals in 6 games. If he can keep that up he will do just fine replacing Mane long term. There are questions marks still surrounding Nunez but I'm confident he will be just fine, he just needs a good run of games.

Diaz and Salah are pretty much guaranteed starters and I mean we have Jota who is pretty amazing even if Nunez doesn't work out.

Diaz isn't the same player as Mane but he's about as good a replacement as we could have hoped for. Jota is different to Firmino but incredibly good in his own right.

Just don't see it as a position we need to spend in. Do we need 6 senior players as forwards? I don't think so. We've spent there, having some exciting acadmey players, commit money elsewhere and you live with it if it doesn't work.

There are different types of agreement. If a player is negotiating with multiple clubs and he agrees multiple deals, they all have an agreement in principle. A deal has been agreed, but not entered into. If the agreement is binding, then guarantees have been entered into, and there will be penalties to undo that.

Generally Liverpool fans know the score. Nothing is done until it’s done. We want to see the signing photo. We want to see the lean.
