If we sign two midfielders it will still help enormously. Trent’s new role, Curtis coming back and kicking on, and the emergence of Bajcetic, leave us with some very good young options. Not to mention Harvey Elliot, who played a lot of football last season and as such, his star slightly waned as it was in a struggling side, but the minutes and experience will have been invaluable for his development.
So, Trent, Curtis, Bajcetic, Elliot, plus MacAllister and another one who is ready to go, plus whatever remains of the old guard, and we are fine in the engine room. The other signing to my mind should be an athlete. A good player, obviously, but someone who will make sure we don’t get overrun.
With Peo making a beeline for MacAllister and hugging him, after they played City, I will be glad when MacAllister is confirmed.
Alexis Mac Allister’s arrival in Liverpool comes at a key moment: everything is well advanced and next week his father and agent will travel to England. The contractual offer is up to 2028 and it remains to finish accelerating and close the exit with Brighton.
Tbf for most of our recent transfers the foreign press has been ahead. Portuguese reported things first with Colombian/Uruguayan for Darwin and Diaz. First noise of anything about Gakpo was Dutch. Tsimikas was first reported by the Greeks.
Seems as though the English press have largely been cut off from transfers since VVD, and any noise we get is leaked by the other team.
