Yeah I think we should be buying a defender mind.

plus a defender of course

I’ve said a few times I don’t think we NEED 3 CMs, but I’d be fucking ecstatic with that.

Yes, I would be happy with Mac, Veiga and Thuram. Plus the defender you mention.

On a related Veiga note, does anyone think he has the potential to possibly be a replacement for Mo Salah? Not exactly the same sort of player, so let’s get that said right away. But he has an eye for goal, has skill to beat a man, and while not as fast as Mo, he is no slouch either.

I might be barking up the wrong tree with the long term plan for Veiga, should we sign him. Either way, he’s a good player, and has a great chance to kick on and become very good indeed.

I’m still giving you the same ā€œnoā€ that I gave you a couple of days ago :joy:

His dribbling stats are very good, but if you look at what he does it’s less about beating players and more about how aggressive he is carrying the ball forward into space from midfield, typically starting in his own half. It’s just not the same skill set as beating defenders 1-1 that you typically need to play in that wide forward role

I must have missed your response, apologies. Or if I didn’t, perhaps some sort of early onset dementia is setting in, no doubt brought on by the transfer window, and my mind is a jumble of what did I think and what did I write? :crazy_face:

With that said, put me down for Mac, Thuram and Veiga, and I would be very happy indeed. Plus a defender.

We’re not getting another four players with the Ā£65m Klopp has left to spend.

Yeah right.

After we’ve sold Salah you mean…

Was a typo mate. Should have been £6.5m :smiley:

Kone is a must for me.

Four players. One already in the bag.

Arguably if there is 65M remaining, it might be enough to sign two players, Thuram and Veiga. Edit: put Kone in there too, as there have been some noises.Then a defender might be brought in through a few sales.

Just speculative, but for all the huge fees we see for players, there seems to be a group of players in the 30-40M bracket that we are in for, and if we make a few more moves and things go well, they could quickly look like 80M+ players.

Only if they cost so much that it propels us onto the perch that is the net spend table.

Who says there is £65m left?

Have we been reading Twitter again?

Prefer the link to Inacio than Van de Ven, who appears to be rated solely based on the fact he’s tall and ran fast in one clip.

Inacio is a really good footballer from the little I’ve seen, would really suit that role Robbo is playing.

YouTube and stat scouting makes me agree with this 100%. Inacio looks a much more developed player.

I know someone get annoyed by it but I cannot get past the aerial win % when looking at a CB. It simply has to be better than what van der Ven does.

I’m sure the club has done more scouting than that one clip.

At least with Liverpool I can be confident that they have. If we were Man Utd I wouldn’t be so sure.

I think Man Utd and Chelsea just go off what the papers tell them.
