General LFC Transfer rumours/gossip thread

pleased with our two new lads coming in and not too bothered about Fekir. I understand the desire to get deals done but we have a month of football to watch in the World Cup and there will be players who stand out who may not have been considered before.
There are players who will just be coming into their prime who may not have been fancied before just look at young Robbo there has to be a pool of players who fall into the same category as Andy.

Exactly

That Julian Draxler lad is quite good with both feet and very intelligent player, I think he's quite strong physically too. He would be a right player to play in the EPL.

Not bothered about that one, the season he had just gone, was shocking compared to the one before. Think it’s a bullet dodged there, could be a top player but I think he’d struggle to adapt to the Premier League. La Liga will probably suit him well.

Hmm, could that mean that Griezmann is going to Barcelona now?

Don't be silly, he is gonna join us

Nah going to united according to their fans, just like he did last summer

Is that true, are Barca and Madrid that dominant in the Arab world, if so why???

Since when? Never heard that one.

Since the the late 90's and early 00's. They're all glory hunters, really. My family is littered with them and I refuse to talk football with anyone of my uncles

Access is a big reason, too. My mum was a Liverpool fan in the 70/80's because they used to get a lot of Liverpool games and she fell in love with Keegan and Kenny. German clubs were also hugely popular around then because of Bayern's success in Europe and I think Hamburg (?) won it, too.

Here's an article I quickly found:

Especially those Arab RM and Barca so called “fans” who only know Messi or Ronaldo and can’t list any other player.

We got tons of those

Seriously...!

Generally the second word after they announce who they support is either “Ronaldo” or “Messi”. Does my head 😂

Some on here have mentioned this fellow Ziyech from Ajax. Nothing in the article says we're after  him, but the writer reckons we should be.

Ziyech would be an astute addition but if we were to stop with just Ziyech and Shaqiri, kinda feel it'll be slightly underwhelming!

Aren't you forgetting Fabinho and Keita. In reality even if we don't sign any more players we have already significantly strengthened.

Maybe they would be willing selling us Saúl

Agree, our midfield is going to be a beast, but i'd still be unhappy with our depth up front going into next season if no one else was brought in.

As much as i disliked the idea of Shaqiri at first, his talent is undeniable and if he was happy to come here as depth to the front 3 i think that'd be a good move for us. He'd also be playing with a heck of a lot better talent here than at Stoke which could help raise his game as well. I don't know too much about Zyiech but if brought in is because Klopp gave it his blessing, and in Jürgen i trust.

Not saying it is likely, but I think it is possible (being done for the window).

1. Forward: Starting to think Origi will be back in the squad and I do think that is an upgrade over Ings. He might give one of the younger players more opportunities as cover for the front 3 to go with Origi and Solanke. I wouldn't think Sturridge would be kept, but...

2. Midfield: Jürgen may want to use Gini, Milner and Lallana to hold the place for Ox, hoping for a full recovery.

3. Defense: I would like a new center back, but the defense was much improved and we do at least have plenty of bodies back there.

4. Keeper: I don't think Migs will stay, but Karius will. Maybe Ward and Grabara are considered sufficient backups.

Again, I would expect more incoming (and think we need it to contend), but it's not out of the question that we are done buying for the summer window.

If we are done buying, it's a complete joke.

We are trying to replicate what we did last year AND go further, which means we need way more talent. We weren't even close to City and they haven't weakened. We need to add 3 or 4 really good players this window just to make up some ground. We have the money, we have the pull, this is a vitally important time for our club if we want to not only progress but ensure that we stay at or near the top year in and year out.

Let me remind you of what Werner said before the final:

“I am excited to see Naby Keita join the club this summer and I can only promise our supporters that we will continue to improve the squad,” he said.

“Whatever happens on Saturday night, we will ensure we have a strong squad to compete for trophies next season which will have even more depth.

“We will make decisions that will improve the team and we will sign players who make us even more successful.”

I think it's highly doubtful we are since we were going to sign Fekir before the medical report issues, so it's clear the team is looking to add to the current list of players.

I think we sigh other two players one more wide player not sure who will get l think Wilson will be in team as sub next year some gsmes, and l have feeling that origi and solanke both be kept on less solanke go on loan, l see other player come in which be goalkeeper as migs be move on

Not surprised they escaped sanctions but PSG have to raise ~60M by end of month to avoid any issues. Let's help them out by taking Draxler off their hands.
