This is very true. And their fans will spend all summer crowing about having an elite centre back pairing for the next decade. Meanwhile the clown behind them will be chucking them in.
I also completely forgot they spent a fortune on De Ligt last summer. Him, Yorro, Martinez and Slabhead feels like enough for them not to be shopping for CBs as a priority this summer.
Maguire is their best player currently mind you he’s playing upfront now.
The Adam Cleary video following the Newcastle game suggests they may need one.
His two main points were that when trying to play Amorim’s system, Utd lacked a DM and CB who can link up play between the defence and midfield when in possession at the back (teams just sit off the CBs and then press Lindelof and Ugarte who appear to have that responsibility currently).
His second point was that they were too reliant on Bruno to create opportunities when building possession (although they appear to be better at breaking the lines when winning possession high up).
Ahhh yeah, forgot they’re more of a back 3/5 team under Amorin.
Fantastic defenser 1 v 1 and aerially, but does lack quality on the ball, with teams regularly letting him receive the ball then pressing him.
However, he has improved on the ball this season.
What has this got to do with Liverpool? 
He’s Dutch, our manager is Dutch, our captain is Dutch, der! 
75m fee…dreams of Barca…but difficult this summer so UK for now
Fuck.right.off
I actually think Nunez would do well at Man United!
All these players who are £60m ish - Simmons and the tv. It’s not exactly risk free. We would need the data.
I also like the look of Hato but I guess with Kerkez that would be a non starter.
I get the same feeling with Hujsen and Real Madrid tbh
Wasn’t he mentioned with us recently?
Ive read posts by people here who mentioned wanting Zirkzee last season (prior to his move to United).
Perhaps but at least he’s already playing (and proved) in the EPL. This Xavi Simons chancer has apparently just signed permanently three months ago in France and now is being talked about as open to leave for the EPL in the summer but only because ‘this summer’ Barca looks difficult. Talk about being labelled a football whore without being called a football whore…
He grew up in the Barca academy and was their star prospect, but without ever having played a game for them got into a contract dispute and left to join PSG on a million quid a year contract.
He has been treated as an asset rather than a person since he was a child so it’s not surprising the player would approach the game with a mercenary like view.
He’s deffo a fan of ours if nothing else.
This. And he’s Dutch.
Netherlands forward Xavi Simons could leave RB Leipzig this summer and the German club will want about £70m if they are to sell the 21-year-old. (Sky Sports Germany), external
Liverpool and Manchester United are among the clubs that have been monitoring Simons, who has a contract until 2027 with RB Leipzig. (Sport Bild - in German), external
Liverpool are planning talks to determine the futures of 28-year-old Colombia forward Luiz Diaz, Portugal striker Diogo Jota, 28, and 25-year-old France centre-back Ibrahima Konate as they head into the summer transfer window. (Football Insider), external
Saudi Arabia’s minister of sport Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al-Faisal says Egypt forward Mohamed Salah “fits the identity of playing” in the country’s top league but there were no discussions about signing him prior to the 32-year-old extending his contract with Liverpool. (ESPN)
The name of Lamine Camara from Monaco has cropped up in a couple of articles. Holding midfielder that came through the same footballing academy as Sadio Mane - Never heard of him myself though
"One of the reasons why Camara is the perfect option is because he brings about control in possession. He is a player who is very decision in his passing and deals with pressure very effectively.
At the same time, he is defensively very solid as well. He wins a high volume of duels and reads the game really well which means he can reprise possession for his team time and time again.
He’s essentially another Ryan Gravenberch, which is what Arne Slot needs.
And now the doors have really opened for Liverpool to make their move. Previously, having only joined Monaco last summer, Camara moving on so soon might have been out of the question.
But Ligue 1 are currently struggling financially with the biggest internationally broadcaster currently holding the rights for matches DAZN pulling out of a multi million deal that is going to significantly cut the funds clubs receive from broadcast revenue in the coming years.
Where’s this one from?
He’s my shout for the summer.
