Topic: LIVERPOOL TRANSFER THREAD - 2023 (FSG posts = get muted) - No Mbappé

[Clint Eastwood]

James Pearce saying the club have distanced themselves from the links to Manuel Ugarte.

I don't know what to believe anymore.

Anyone think we actually sign him if Fabinho has won Klopp's trust back?

[Flaccido Dongingo]

He is still young Curtis and has plenty of time to get more consistent with experience.

Exactly, which is why people should be cautious with their expectations of him.

Have a look in his thread and you'd think we won't need to sign another midfielder this summer.

[Sheer Magnetism]

If we're going to be playing in a de facto 3-4-3 (which is what this seems to be with Jones on the left of the traditional three midfielders), Mount might actually be the perfect option for that left hand side position. Alternatively, it might mean we prioritise an alternative for the other side so Trent doesn't have to play every game.

[Hazell]

Considering that I have actually watched Modric quite often even before he has joined Tottenham

When Modric signed for Tottenham, did you think 'yes, I think I've seen you before'.?

[Henry Gale]

I don't think we were ever interested in Ugarte to be honest, People just use our name for clicks don't they.

[Redman78]

Jones is not better than Mount. We've had some good result but let's not get carried away.

I do think Mount could work in our set up, but when has he proved to be this quality midfielder?

[jillcwhomever]

You do like to exaggerate Andy most people are just pleased he has found real form and is confident. It really makes me wonder why some of you seem determined to not like academy players. He has enough time on his side to further improve under the best man manager in the business. Why is it such depressing thing to you?

[Lone Star Red]

He is still young Curtis and has plenty of time to get more consistent with experience.

Sounds like all the more reason to not alter our summer transfer plans based on Curtis finding some good form for the last month or so.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Leicester has lots of decent players surely we can find one that will perform better in our setup even as squad players

Anyone suggesting we sign Youri Tielemans should be instantly banished from this site, and probably the world.

The other three are just as shit as well.

[Asam]

 “Talks with Schmadtke ongoing. Wouldn’t expect any certainty on signings before the end of the season. Lots of plates being spun currently.

You can't ban people for not knowing football, only Peter would be left here

No wonder Lobo hasn't been seen for a while.

[Lone Star Red]

I suppose I have to just accept that you're going to bicker with each other no matter what happens. It's just inevitable.

If only there was a common denominator for the vast majority of the bickering! 

[Bangin Them In]

Modric won nothing at Spurs.

No one wins anything at Spurs

It's the law

[Lone Star Red]

Ok, name five keepers Jurgen Klopp is picking ahead of Kelleher. I’ll give you a headstart, Ederson. Please finish the list.

Wait, you said he's currently one of the top 5/6 keepers in the league, now it's five keepers Klopp is picking ahead of Kelleher? So which is it?

If we're sticking with your original statement, off the top of my head, Ederson, Alisson, Raya, Ramsdale, Pope, Leno, Martinez and Mendy are all Premier League proven keepers who Kelleher isn't displacing if he was bought by those clubs.

[Samie]

Lobo hasn't been seen for weeks now.

[PeterTheRed ...]

When Modric signed for Tottenham, did you think 'yes, I think I've seen you before'.?

I am from former Yugoslavia. Even today quite often I go to the Hajduk - Dinamo derby, although mostly in Split ...

[PeterTheRed ...]

You can't ban people for not knowing football, only Peter would be left here

To be fair, there are quite a lot of people on here who know more about football than me. You are not in that group, obviously ...

[tubby]

Ha, unlucky Asam.

[Samie]

 

Mac's killed him.

[classycarra]

[royhendo]

Jus get rid  of the lot mate. None of em learn

Everyone’s so lovable man. We can’t do that!

It’s not depressing, but a few good games at the tail end of a crap season does not solve midfield issues that have plagued us all season. Sign some midfielders asap.

[Asam]

that might be a good line if you had any credibility left but like the song goes in an mbap it’s gone

[Samie]

Andy is pissed off because Curtis didn't come to visit him in the class room like Tcho Tchoo did.

we’ve got 3 first teamers leaving of course we will sign new players

Yeah I’m going by Klopp’s standards, not Eddie Howes or Frank Lampard. Would rather have Kelleher than Pope, Martinez, Leno and Ramsdale. Haven’t seen enough of Raya and Mendy is very good. Still not five ahead of him for me.

[Sir Capon of Debaser]

Lobo hasn't been seen for weeks now.

And there it is

Atta Girl

[stockdam]

Jones is not better than Mount. We've had some good result but let's not get carried away.

We’ll disagree on that one. I don’t see why people rate Mount and I don’t think he is the kind of player we need.

[AndyMuller]

we’ve got 3 first teamers leaving of course we will sign new players

Midfielders that would start and improve it straight away, not squad players to replace the squad players leaving.

No, you're going by your standards. Which is fine, we're all entitled to our opinions. But the goal post moving isn't a good look.

You've boldly claimed that our backup keeper, who's played...*checks notes*...zero Premier League minutes this season, is currently one of the best 5 or 6 keepers in the league in which he's played 0 minutes in.  It's an astounding claim.

[Funky_Gibbons]

You do realise that whatever is said in here will have no influence on who Klopp and the team decide to buy?

Yeah that’s my opinion, he’s better than the majority of the list you’ve given. If and when he’s a premier league number one next season you’ll see for yourself. Goalkeeping is so much more than shot stopping these days, he’s elite level with his feet, starting position, is good under the high ball and can save shots too. Training with Ali has been massively beneficial to his overall game.

That's the key bit mate. He hasn't proven it yet. We've seen some glimpses in limited minutes that's he quite talented and that he could actually be a very good keeper in this league, but he's yet to actually prove it. He's a talented prospect, and with that, comes risk that it may not pan out.

Until then, he's not a top 5/6 keeper in the league. Pretty simple, really.

[Asam]

do you honestly think we will start 3 completely new midfielders in the first game of next season? new players will all take their time to adjust, so the existing players we have will be the starting team, maximum one or two new faces will start and then the team will evolve over the season

[AmanShah21]

Because he's been brilliant whenever he has played in whatever competition he has played. His passing may actually be better than Ali and he is great at penalties. He is big and agile. He is a rare talented ball playing goalkeeper with no apparent weakness to his game apart from experience. So I agree that he is top 5-6 in this league. I would be absolutely disappointed if we got less than 30 million for him because he'll be worth double that once he plays a couple full seasons somewhere.

He's worth what we say that he's worth & we shouldn't be taking a penny less than £35m
