Do you mean moves in or out? There are some obvious gaps in the squad as it stands, so they will be actively recruiting. I just hope he has a chance to work with the likes of Harvey and Curtis before they make any decision on their future.

Moves out I would say

Yeah, I meant outs, especially big ones like Gakpo.

Would have to be a silly offer to tempt us to sell him this summer and especially to someone who will have aspirations of closing the gap between them and us.
And in an area of the pitch weāre desperate to add to as weāre already thinking on options.

Surprised they havenāt offered a loan to buy even if heās on one year left.

At this rate the offers will be going up in 1 euro increments, 10 payments spread over the next decade

Itās starting to remind me of the time that Saudi team offered Henderson a deal only to be shocked they had to pay a fee.
Pearce:
Given current price tags in midfield market, understandable Liverpool holding firm after turning down ā¬25m verbal offer from Inter for Curtis Jones. Considerably short of valuation. LFC want around ā¬40m for Jones, who has one year left on his contract.

I would like Jones to stay but it sounds like he may be wanting to leave.
If Jones wants to leave, is it Inter or bust?
You would have to think there are a number of Prem teams who would pay ā¬40M for him (and given the prices being quoted for midfielders of a comparable level, that represents a bargain).

I would have thought he would have a number of options.
I assume Elliott and Bajectic are retained if this happens.

Italian teams can fuck off. Iād rather keep him for a year and lose him for free than dealing with those dickheads. They want Palestra and look like theyāre going to pay around Ā£40m+ for him so they can bugger off claiming poverty.

This is what Iām trying to find out, too. Iām āmonitoringā his exclusives this summer for that purpose.
To play the devilās advocate, I donāt think it makes sense to sell Gakpo with Ekitike out for a long period. I mean, itās not like heās a good centre forward but I think heād be a better option there than not having any if Isak continues getting injured.
Keep Gakpo if you want him set up to play like his first two seasons.
Iāve seen him play CF in person. Heās worse than a traffic cone.
Not his fault. Thatās clearly not a role for him.
I think Jones is making a mistake but I understand if itās his choice to leave and experience something new. Especially since the last manager was clearly so toxic that maybe things have broken down to a greater extent than we know.
I do not want to think we forced him out.
Iām also not keen on pursuing Scott and letting Jones leave, if indeed we are doing that. Iāve said it before that Scott and Jones are very similar players - but Jones does everything just a bit better.

The previous manager wasnāt toxic. Thereās no evidence of that.
He simply failed to adjust successfully to the difficulty his team faced on and off the field from preseason onwardsā¦
On Jones, I agree with you.
