I might even stay tuned tomorrow, now that odious little cunt Jim White is gone
It could be said that we have 3-4 signings in this window if you count Jacquet and Araujo.

I think we wonât know the answer to that until we see what Iraola can do with this squad. He wanted wingers, and heâs been given two. Weâre not going to replace Salah, who is in the top five players in our entire history, but we have now four good options to provide with and service the two forward players, a little lopsided though they are. And maybe thatâs enough to be going along with.
I think Jacquet will end up an improvement on Konate, although itâs early days. And we got the fifth centre back Gomezâ fitness and the slow recovery of Leoni demanded.
The experience of Robertson leaves a hole, but Kerkez was rightly first choice last year and we know that Tsimikas can be a decent deputy. There is no change at Right Back, but we really need Bradley to find some consistency of form and fitness. And we added a bit more depth in the position through Araujo.
Itâs centre midfield where we look like we might have weakened ourselves. I really like Nyoni, but if Iraola feels he canât give Trey the minutes Jones would get (and I think weâd have seen more of Jones in the first two games than weâve seen of Trey) then thatâs a problem. Personally I want to see Nyoni start against Ipswich. He is 19 years old, and thatâs not an unreasonable age to start getting serious minutes.

Fabrizio Romano has given the here we go for Lucca Brughmans. Deal for 35m euros/30m pounds. Thatâs a big chunk of change for an 18 year old GK even if he is a wonderkid.
Perhaps this means bye bye to Mamardashvili soon.
Maybe not this window, but is he willing to wait until Alisson is ready to go?
Leoni could come into that category too, he only lasted one game. Isak wasnât many as well.
I hope so
I think this is a deal the club are going to revisit in January. Keeping Gakpo is a sensible decision because our squad is short of players but it doesnât address the imbalance of the side, nor the glaring hole that right wing position has become since Salahâs drop off in form.
I was in a vaguely happy mood this morning because the transfer window is closed.
Itâs not until tonight, is it?

If itâs any comfort it closes at 11pm so not the whole night

Thatâs probably (and unfortunately) next summer but I feel the question is, if Alisson goes next summer, are we happy to let Mama be our new number 1? If weâre not it is likely best to move him on then anyway and get a new keeper as number 1.
Wonât happen now, and I suspect by January/the summer weâll be all in on Rayan. His chance has gone.
Fixed

Chelsea are working on potential options should Enzo Fernandez move to Manchester City on Deadline Day.
Sky Sports News understands they have an interest in Romaâs Manu Kone and Monacoâs Lamine Camara.
So a team with a 50man strong squad replaces one outgoing player immediately with an incomingâŚyet we have not managed to do anything in the middle of the pitchâŚ
Iâm generally a positive person with unlimited love for my LFC, but this transfer window is blowing my brains out. One must feel sorry for AI and the rest of the team.
ButâŚwe all know that they will never walk alone when it comes to the true LFC-support.
From Vinny OâConner (Sky Sports News) this morning.
Sky Sports News reporter Vinny OâConnor at the AXA Training Centre:
"Liverpool have got something to celebrate by getting the Barcola deal over the line for a fee that could rise to as much as ÂŁ123m.
"What we were told in terms of other incomings for wide players was that it was a pretty fluid situation. We know Liverpool made an approach to Palace for Sarr and before that they made an approach to Brighton for Minteh.
"We also know it looks like Gakpo is now going to stay, so it looks like they are not going to explore any other positions like full back or a defensive midfielder.
âSo it looks like they are going to stick with what they have got.â
Glad its almost over, even if i feel we are short in squad depth. Going to be a bit like Kloppâs early seasonsâŚlots of goals for and against

I hope itâs not over, but I also hope there are no âAndy Carrollâ level of stupidities in the final hours.
