As a club we can’t comment on vastly overpaying as we did this for Wirtz and Izak last year.

The money people are paying for players this summer makes arguments we “overpaid” harder to support

You counter that argument by saying the overpaying by us last year is fueling the increase.

Sure but no one would believe it

But we paid high fees for players supposedly at the top of the pile, Rogers, Tonali, Anderson and the guy from West Ham, nowhere near that and all 80m plus

Liverpool are prepared to join Manchester United in the race for Roma’s 25-year-old France midfielder Manu Kone. (Football Insider)

Liverpool want to sign Sweden left-back Daniel Svensson from Borussia Dortmund, but may face competition from Arsenal for the 24-year-old’s signature. (Caught Offside)

That one would be odd though he can play left wing as well.

Oh my days
all our ‘wanted’ names have gone
we’ve started where we left off last season
slow on the uptake, dillydallying, blabbing to all n sundry
not much choice left now then 
is there
hopefully we’ll find a new Andy Robbo
:crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers:

All those names on that list bar one haven’t gone anywhere.

In fact only Diomande which we were strongly linked with has gone anywhere (and he sort of hasn’t).

Except Luca Stephenson.

You’re mistaken, Matty, it clearly says they’ve all moved to Liverpool.

As it should be. Whole squad needs a chance to show they’re better than the performances they put in last season. Too many good players underperformed compared to what we know they’re capable of.

We need some new blood but got to be careful not to throw the baby out with the bath water.

Gomes to Villa I think I’ve read somewhere.. and Barcola is never coming to us


That’s the one I had down, as I said Diomande hasn’t actually gone anywhere.

Sounds like a bit of a mess. Its a shame the other winger we want is seemingly tied to this deal as well.
