Scouting talk

So with Real out the way looks like we need at least 3 quality midfielders, would have been 2 but Thiago can’t be trusted.

We need 3.

We'll get 1.

But former Liverpool striker Michael Owen does not think it is all doom and gloom.

Speaking on BT Sport, he said: "Liverpool's strength is that group of players who have been to the trenches and won together.

"That takes years of building. Why is everyone talking about a refresh?

"I think Liverpool have got enough. Looking through their starting XI, there's nobody out there better than their goalkeeper. Their right-back is unbelievable, the left-back too, Virgil van Dijk is probably the best in the world when he is on form. Ibrahima Konate is brilliant. The front five are brilliant."

He's talking like this season never happened.

TBF Owen is known for talking a lot of sh*t.

Enrique says Gravenberch to the Reds is a done deal as they share the same agent. Has he let something slip he wasn't supposed to or just talking sh*t?

Not sure if this is real but but isn’t Gravenberch just sitting on the bench at Bayern? We need proper players not more young talents that become good in 2-3 years…

Wrong. We need quality young midfielders.

Gravenberch is quality. Gravenberch, Bellingham, and Mount in the Summer would be great business.

I'd take that and regarding Michael Owens comments referenced above, with everyone fit I believe we have a defence and forward line that would rival any team. When confidence and form are back to levels we are accustomed to. Get those three players in were back in business

Fairy tale business. I think we will do good business, but it wont be that

Mount is a decent squad player at best. Gravenberch is still largely potential. I love Jude as a player and his personality,  he is demanding but very level headed, slightly concerned he is playing with a bit of a knee issue atm.  Would be surprised if more than 1 of those 3 were to be a serious target

I don't know. It's a weird one as far as I'm concerned. Other than the fact that I have no idea about Enrique's credibility when it comes to transfers, Bayern strikes me as the type of team where everything is planned at least to the medium term. I don't see them buying a 19yo with lots of potential only to give up on him in the space of one season and ship him out the next summer. I'm leaning more towards journos looking at the situation and making a 1 + 1 type of link because he's on the bench.

The other thing is that their midfield isn't exactly overflowing with players. They basically have Kimmich, Goretzka, Musiala, Gravenberch and then two 17-year old kids. That's, essentially, a 4 senior players midfield with one of them reportedly being benched most of the season. So if this rumour has some truth to it then we should keep an eye out on Bayern's moves/search for midfield because I don't see them moving Gravenberch before a replacement has been identified and talks are almost done if not done for his transfer to the Allianz

Always seems to be a story related to his attitude or his mom popping up. No thanks, I'll pass.

Is he any good ? Seen his name been banded around a few times

Liverpool eye Ndicka as Gvardiol alternative
Liverpool have entered the race for Eintracht Frankfurt star Evan Ndicka with the centre-back available for free at the end of the season, according to the Daily Mirror.
Arsenal and Tottenham have both been monitoring the Frenchman in the past who could pose as an alternative to RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol.
Manager Jürgen Klopp is said to be appealed by the player's versatility. Ndicka is available for free this summer, is left-sided and can play both left-back and holding midfield.

I can see us selling Tsimikas and signing this lad to bring in a few quid

Hopefully a Matip replacement mate as he’ll be on a free
