I’m really not sure if Echo are a credible source these days, so I’m leaving this here.

Let the Clear-Out begin.

Karius, Phillips, Grujic, Shaqiri, Wilson, Origi, Awoniji, Brewster, Larouci - hope we sell them all.

130m worth there.

Think we will cover the fees of Thiago, Diogo, Tsimikas and Minamino with the sales.

I think it’s realistic to expect around 70-75 million pounds there but without Brewster and Awoniyi (we’ll see what happens with the former but the latter will probably go out on loan to Union Berlin). I assume that Edwards will be equally reasonable when it comes to spreading payments over certain period of time, it’s what the club did for Hoever and what Bayern and Wolves did for Alcantara and Jota respectively.

Would like to know the wages of Minamino, Tsimikas, Thiago and Diogo.

Yeah, loads of outs now.

Regarding incoming, this is as balanced and strong as I’ve ever seen a Liverpool Squad. I think we’re done for the summer, and if we can shift the lads not in this 24, it’s a perfect window.

Alisson
Adrian
Kelleher

Alexander-Arnold
Robertson
Tsimikas
Williams

Van Dijk
Gomez
Matip

Fabinho
Henderson
Thiago
Wijnaldum
Keita
Oxlade-Chamberlain
Milner
Jones

Salah
Mane
Firmino
Jota
Minamino
Elliot

That’s absolutely unreal strength in depth.

I think we can clear £70m, which more than covers the fees for Thiago and Jota.

Karius - bag of crisps
Phillips - nominal
Grujic - 15m
Shaqiri - 10m
Wilson - 10m
Origi - £15m
Awoniyi - already on loan
Brewster - £20m
Larouci - nominal

But the thing is that because of the way Edwards has structured these incoming deals, there is no pressure to take shit fees this window. The mans incredible.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that Pitaluga kid takes over as the third goalie, so that Kelleher can go out on loan. After all, it was mentioned by the press a few months back but Kelleher is also in contention for his national team, so a successful loan might strengthen his credential further.

I agree that this could be the best Liverpool squad that Liverpool have had in Premier League, we’ll see if that’s enough to win the league and/or maybe something else. It will be a tightly packed season, authorities don’t care much about the well-being of football players, so there will be plenty of injuries, I assume.

I do hope we see those aforementioned players leave, though, and Jones, Williams and Elliott staking their claim for first team place. That said, I hope it’s the likes of Minamino and Keita who truly push on this season, as well as Alcantara and Jota (mainly because I don’t want them to buckle under the pressure of expectations that media will force upon them).

Reason why I want us to sell all the players I mentioned above is because it gives gametime to Koumetio, Williams, Jones and Elliott.

To be honest I think Kelleher needs a perm move. Not much point in a loan really

What happened to Grabara?

Got a major concussion at Huddersfield in February. Spent two nights in hospital and hasn’t played since.

Grabara is on his way to PAOK on loan, I think. I agree that Kelleher might need a permanent move but why not send him out on a loan or two before making a decision on him? It did wonders for Dean Henderson. Even Johnstone, another academy graduate of Man United, has started the season as the first goalie of WBA after having multiple loans. I dare say that Kelleher is a better talent than Johnstone.

Totally lost overview about the third goalkeeper situation since we sold Danny Ward to Huddersfield. We had like 3 young polish goalkeepers.

It seems Klopp is trying to learn portugese with all the native speakers.

It wouldn’t suprise me if we kept some of these players till next season to sell,if the market mean’t all we were offered were the figure’s you think they are worth.At the very least,i’d imagine these would be fee’s we’d look at before selling.I can’t see Origi being sold for £15mill for example,when we just payed £41mill for Diogo.

Karius - 2mill-5mill
Phillips - 3mill-5mill
Grujic - 15mill-20mill
Shaqiri - 15mill-20mill
Wilson - 15mill-20mill
Origi - 25mill-30mill
Awoniyi - 3mill-5mill
Brewster - 20mill-30mill
Larouci - 2mill-5mill

£100mill min - £140mill max if we sell now

I’d hope we keep Shaqiri, he is another option for me those his injuries really do make you wonder.

Other than that I’d happily trim the players mentioned.
