Exactly. Everyone is comfortable with what’s going to happen but to smooth the deal with Palace we’ve agreed to hold off until after the Community Shield or until they have their replacement in.
No part of me thinks we go into a season with three centre backs again, not after what happened last time. Focus has been on Ekitike and now Isak which to me suggests the CB thing isn’t an immediate concern to the team because it’s all lined up.
Wow, he can get injured by just playing 45 minutes in pre season…holy shit…
The best place for Gomez is Saudi or MLS. He hardly plays 15 games a season.
Unfortunately Gomez Achilles injury means we need to prioritize a cb replacement asap. I still think Guehi makes a lot of sense. But we might need to pay 40 rather than 35 because they know we need a cb now.
Good to know I’ll be sure to mention it to Richard Hughes and Arne Slot later on.
Could you mattty? Also can you pass on that we will need to replace Virg and Konate in the future too so they don’t forget to keep looking after this window.
Yeah just met up for Hughes in a Bournemouth pub he’s topping up on his tan but when I told him the urgency of the situation he downed his pint and left. Bastard didn’t pay.
Those pounds might be needed to get a deal over the line Matty; thanks for taking one for the team
You can thank me later…
A lot of people seem to be assuming that he’s going to come to LFC, but the fact that he probably wouldn’t be first choice is very likely to be a stumbling block, especially in a WC year. Does he want to spend the season on the bench hoping for an injury or drop in form from Konate?
He might well get plenty of games for us, but it would be a big gamble from his side, and one that could go very wrong.
If he has any self confidence and worth ge will look to sign for Liverpool. Playing ten games for Liverpool is equivalent of a full season for Palace when you are seeking attention from Tuchel and co.
That World Cup factor shouldn’t be overrated in my opinion.
If that is so massively important to him (I get it), then bloody stay at Palace for one more season. No? You want a bigger team? Then tell me which team, out of the ones that even want you (I have no idea)… where will you be guaranteed to start, to accomplish it all?
Looking at what England have (or haven’t got) at CB, it wouldn’t be impossible for Guehi to be in that squad even if he comes to Liverpool and doesn’t play every single minute next season.
He’s not the only CB. But Guehi counts as an English player and he’s good enough to play at Liverpool’s level. We all know a premium price comes with English quota.
I do think Guehi is likely, I just don’t know when the deal will happen and the exact amount. We might be waiting to sign Isak before going for Guehi.
If he needs regular football to be picked over slabby maguire , then he really should evaluate his game.
Not always a guarantee of being considered homegrown (for example, Eric Dier).
I think in this case it’s a safe bet.
His youth years were Cray Wanderers and then Chelsea and his entire club history are clubs in England and Wales.
Ah, we’re pretending that we didn’t know what he meant.
Marvellous.
If he comes, ask him to sign a waiver (so he can point out to you how liability releases are rarely legally enforceable)
