Zakaria seems such a no brainer, and surely we could have him if we wanted him, think a physical midfielder who can cover a lot of ground quickly would do wonders for our midfield

Ousmane Dembélé is on the agenda of Liverpool, as the Reds show interest on bringing the player who will be available on a FREE if Barcelona can't renew his contract. Dembele is eyeing a move to the Premier League.

Dembele has Man United desperation signing on a huge wedge written all over him.

Good player when fit, potentially great, but he’s not really kicked on at all in nearly 5 years at Barca. Add in that he is horrendously injury prone, has a poor work ethic and attitude (so would fit in at United) and is also just a bit of a bad, bad dickhead. Don’t think he really has the temperament (or durability) to ever make the most of his obvious natural talent.

Yep, among other career highlights such as refusing to turn up to training and going completely AWOL at Dortmund when trying to force through his Barcelona move, repeatedly turning up late for training cos he would sleep in after staying up late gaming, and being filmed making some pretty deplorable racist comments on a preseason tour with Barca.

Given how much importance we place on attitude and commitment when recruiting players, I doubt he’d even make it onto a Liverpool shortlist these days.

Friend who lives in Barca said his whole game was speed and the injuries have taken that from him. Poor football intelligence and a bad attitude. Worst signing ever for Barca. Wouldn't want him at LFC.

Another career highlight for me would be missing against us when clean through and the whole goal to aim at in the Nou Camp to put them 4-0 with 2 mins to play 😂😂😂

His miss in last minute of the 3-0 games against us at the Nou Camp was ridiculously bad, and ultimately a huge moment even though it wasn't given much attention at the time.

Dembele would be a disaster signing, he can’t stay fit, no idea why they keep linking him.

There is one aspect of squad building that we are often foregetting, and that is buying young players and promoting Academy players into the first team's squad. If you take a look, we are actually in a pretty decent position  ...

Our squad is very far from being old. Most of our top players are  still in their prime, and even the senior ones (like Henderson or Matip) could be valuable squad players for years. Also, our squad players who might be on the market are still at a good age, so that is probably why Edwards was not in a hurry to sell them at any price ...

On a more serious note, you're absolutely right. Clickbait has infected news beyond transfers. I've made a decision to never click on any article with a clickbait title regardless of whether the subject matter is serious or not. Clickbait works because media agencies use page views as a figure to pitch to advertisers as a measure of engagement. It ends when we as consumers begin to vote with our feet.

The chants for Kenny Dalglish that were heard again on Wednesday do not necessarily mean that the fans see him as the saviour. This is not Newcastle, longing for the return of Kevin Keegan. Simply, Dalglish represents everything Hodgson is not and, in fairness, everything Hodgson could or would not hope to be.

I get that it would be good news, but in the last transfer window we gave news contracts to some of our other top players too, VVD, Fabinho and Allison for example and this kept some fans happy with an otherwise very quiet transfer window except konate. This transfer window looks like no new players in but the board wait for the transfer window to get Salah on a new contract so again it looks like they're doing something and keeping some fans happy. We need investment in new players, we can't keep staying still.i just feel its tactical from the club to issue new contracts during the transfer window.

Our squad is very far from being old.

No it isn’t. In key positions it is already pretty old. In midfield and in the forward positions we need some new blood. Players like Jota are exactly what we need. Younger than the established starters with the ability to push them hard for starting places. I like the young midfielders but they are not at the level to challenge Henderson, Thiago, Milner and Fabinho yet. The younger senior midfielders we do have get too many injuries as we all know.

You always need an eye on the future and it is far easier to build from a position of strength.

I think we need a couple of midfielders and a forward in the summer at the latest. I don’t mind if we get two players one of whom can cover both positions if we absolutely have to.
Roger Scruton was right about everything.
