All Iāll say is that we use the PL Cup and PL Int Cup as a place to get guys gametime who otherwise donāt start for the U21s. The players he highlighted wouldnāt be used in that tournament anyway.

Brentford strike ādeal in principleā for Liverpoolās Sepp van den Berg
Latest from Sky Sports Newsā Lyall Thomas:
Brentford have agreed a deal in principle with Liverpool to sign Sepp van den Berg.
It is understood they have agreed to pay Ā£25m plus Ā£5m in add-ons for the centre-back.
The decision is now down to the player and the Dutchman is aware of interest from Bayer Leverkusen.
The German club are also willing to agree to this deal with Liverpool but need to sell one of their centre-backs first.
The Bundesliga champions have interest from other clubs in Edmond Tapsoba, Jonathan Tah and Odilon Kossounou.
Sky Sports News has already reported Newcastleās interest in Tapsoba.

Bloke was moaning about us asking for Ā£20m at the start of the summer with PSV and Mainz looking most keen in acquiring his services. Now itās pushing Ā£30m and heāll either get a nice Premier League wedge of cash every week or be playing CL footy for the German champions.
Youāre welcome Sepp.

If it is a good loan it might be just the ticket, so he can play, find rhythm and rebuild after missing some key development at the worst possible time.
I could easily see him coming back after a good loan to take his place here.
If he is sold, I will join you with the pitchfork and flaming torch.

Yep.
No signings.
Contracts running down.
Transfers out greater than in.
No Klopp fist pumps by Arne.
Half time substitions.
No hugs.
Fuck all those atrocities visited on us poor fickle beings.
Lets burn Anfield because a player we think might be a star could be sold!
Weshould have done it for Pacheco, Le Tallec, Plessis, Nemeth, Davy Thompson, Ken De Mange, Trevor Stortonā¦Rise up for the lads!

I donāt think Bajcetic is quite in that bracket.
He is an extremely talented young player, with a high ceiling, who has already broken into the first team, in a position that we lack depth and playing in a style that Slot wants.
I could understand loaning him if weād got Zubimendi.

Iām sorry, but Iād like to go back to the original point.
Who is Jack Lusby and why should we care about anything he says or claims to know?

You cannot deny that even the most relaxed LFC supporter not being slightly concerned that we seem to be selling all the youth team players, fringe players (I do understand that a bit more but leaves us short), loaning out Bajcetic and bringing in no one.
Does Arnie think that all the kids who played in League and cup last year in emergency have peaked and wont get any better? Its so strange to sell all these kids.
Listen, Im glad we arent Chelsea with a scatter gun approach and buying players again who were shit the first time around (Lakaku and Felix) but for a new manager to bring in no one is so strange.
Throw in 3 key players leaving in less than 9 months for free - its mad,

I think I qualify as being a relaxed supporter. I really donāt see why you are getting your knickers in a twist. Given the quality and depth of the current squad, the truncated transfer window and a new coaching team in place Iām more than happy to wait for a signing to be made if it means they will be the right fit.
The young players being allowed to leave are unlikely to get regular playing time here and so are making way for the next tier of youngsters. Arne will probably want to focus his coaching time on getting the first team regulars in tune with his system that it probably wonāt leave much time to work on the youngsters.
As for 3 players being out of contract next summer, again not really an issue. There will be conversations being had in the background about new contracts or players to replace them - I think itās important the club have a plan in place as to what they want from next summer and onwards - and that has to be done before new contracts are given to VVD and Mo.

The concern with the contracts are - for example, TAA can pre-sign for Real in just over 3 months.

Yes, but we already have Bradley to cover the RB role. Losing Trent on a free (or a much reduced price in January) would be a blow but it isnāt crippling and as I said above, in his case the club will most likely already be trying to get a new contract done.

Yup. Trentās contract is a priority. Hopefully we tie him up with a long term deal say 4-5 years.

These days, that feels like a short-term dealā¦
We brought EndÅ in on a 4 year contract as a 30 year old. Bellinghamās initial contract (not sure if heās extended since) with Madrid was for 6 years.
With the way FSG operate, Iām kind of used to not expecting much during the transfer windows nowadays.
