      Bummer, but City is probably the only team in England that offers more allure than us at this moment, so oh well.

      However, if we get Keita and Fekir, we could line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation that looks like this:

      Karius
      TAA - Lovren - VVD - Robbo
      Keita - Hendo
      Salah - Fekir - Mane
      Firmino

      That's a Starting XI i'd put up against anyone in world football, and you'd still have Lallana, Gini, Ox as subs in midfield, so would just need depth at wing.

      The rumors are Jean Seri to Arsenal, Fred to United, Andre Gomes to Spurs. May be we should try Julian Weigl for the #6 role!

      With Naby set to be Can's replacement and hopefully Fekir is Coutinho's replacement, anyone thinks Gini will be utilized more as a #6 and we'll go in for another young/developing attacking mid?

      If someone honestly watched City play and watched us play (especially watched us play them) and still wants to join them....have at it. You don't really get us anyway.

      After watching their shoddy support in their empty stadium, and the way we took them apart....bah. Have fun.

      Over the past few years (particularly this season) I’ve admired City’s approach to the game, especially when you compare with their derby rivals. We got the better of them a few times this season which I’m chuffed about but the stats don’t lie; most goals, most points etc etc. As a team, they have broken all types of records and will ultimately go down as one of the best teams in the Premier League era.

      What I couldn’t be a part of though is their cringey off the field antics. From that promotional video after United lost to hand them the title, the ‘reception’ as they showed up at the Etihad ahead of our CL fixture, then Kyle Walker on stage during the trophy parade trying to be funny. Everything about them is a desperate attempt to be relevant, a veritable swing and a miss.

      Tbh, as much as I love Jorginho, I have no doubt he has chosen the right club, he is more suited to City/Guardiola than us :(

      Very dubious statement that. We have struggled at times to find rhythm and they have certainly been superior over an entire season, thanks to squad depth.

      Think the right players who would wanna join us are those who would love a challenge and believe that they can be the difference makers in taking us up to City's tally or rather the next level. Like Virgil.

      Definitely one approach - and of course Jürgen will like midfielders who can play more than one role in midfield, especially as we will want to employ more than one system depending on the opponent (the 4-2-3-1 CT mentioned, the 4-3-3 we have seen much of, a modified 4-4-2 we have seen a few times...).

      However you compare the two sides' playing styles, the truly compelling thing for this move almost surely is that the agent gets more money out of it. I do want a #6 to come in,  but I suspect Klopp will go for someone 2-3 years younger.

      OR, as Vicks and Purple have mentioned, Gini could be the #6 as we spend on attacking mid, forward and (my add) central defense.

      We need the depth on all areas really. Imagine signing a forward to compete with Mane for a starting spot, a centre back to compete with Matip/Lovren. A goalkeeper to compete with Karius for a number 1 spot.

      City have that level of depth and will continue to add and add. We have to go with them.

      With Jorginho apparently going to City and Neves happy staying put, what do people think about Fabinho and Rabiot for that role of deepest midfielder?

      On the 27th May we will have an abundance of top talent on the phone to their agents telling them to get them to Liverpool.
      I wouldn't worry about any media talk Jürgen will know who he wants and I think we are at long last going to see some depth and quality added to this squad.

      Rabiot hasnt signed a new deal yet at PSG cos his preference is to play an advanced role in midfield and not the deepest. Speculation is he wants to know Tuchel's plans for him before a decision.

      He has also missed out on a WC spot, so we might be a tempting option if he wants to play elsewhere and PSG wouldnt say no to 40-odd mil for someone in his last year of contract.

      Mason Mount is supposedly the next big star to come out of Chelsea youth team. Has been tearing it up at Vitesse Arnhem (39app/19gls).

      I think we should just shop at City and Chelsea for their youth players!

      50M for Pulisic? too easy to say yes, but i'd imagine he'd go for more than that.
