Also another classic from the football insider. So make of that what you will.

I donāt think we will sell him in January, but if he continues like he has, I can see us entertaining a sale, especially if it helps facilitate a move for a player we covet, like Olise. I really (like really) want him to come good and prove everyone wrong, but he is objectively not performing anywhere close to the price paid for him. He is not beyond scutiny, and heās getting plenty of it.
I highly doubt there will be movement for Wirtz in January and I also doubt Olise would at this moment be motivated to come to Liverpool. Weāre talking about quite possibly a next world transfer record, if Olise is to move with years left on his Bayern contract. One day in the future, if he wants to return to the PL and to a big club and if Liverpool are actually competing for and winning things, maybe. But this is not the reality right now.

Yeah, doubt it happens, but itās fun to think about a Barcola, Isak, and Olise front line!
Barcola, Ekitike, Olise

Liverpool are monitoring 20-year-old Feyenoord right-back Givairo Read, but Manchester City and Arsenal are also interested in the Netherlands Under-21 international. (Teamtalk)

There are rumours of us trying to get Tyrick Mitchell (whose contract will run out in summer 2027) for freeā¦ However, he is a wingback, not a normal fullback.

These rumours all feel a bit like made up ones they had for when Slot was around and have yet to catch up that weāve now got a Spaniard in place. Maybe by the summer they will have rebooted their football manager game. Isnāt it out about now?

Palace are shite, but is he shite?
Not sure. Seen him look shite but seen him score and be a bit less shite.

Though, I am quite skeptical of buying wingbacks, given our problems with Frimpong.
OTOH, if we happens to sign him, we will sign him for free.
Yeah, also that.
Palace play such a silly system in my view with a lot of emphasis and pressure on those wing backs. I suppose for us heĀ“d have less pressure but I think itĀ“s better to go for a proper right back.
Heās a conventional full back. Heās quick and decent technically so he can certainly get forwards and has been doing so more often for Palace but his biggest asset is the defensive side of his game.
Heād be a useful alternative to Kerkez.

I will not turn down a free HG player, especially when Kostas and Gomez will leave this summer.

Doesnāt Palace play 3-4-3 formation?
They do, but it doesnāt mean heās not a normal full back by nature or that he couldnāt do it in a back 4. Iām still not convinced by the stylistical fit, but weāll see.
Munoz was for example more offensive in his way of playing than Mitchell in that same formation.

Yes, @Zoran gave the same answer I would though. Heās playing as a wing back to fit the system but he himself is a conventional FB as a player profile.

Iād have definitely taken Munoz. Combative offensively and defensively, works his socks off, has quality in the attacking areas. Alas heās at Forest.

Iād be a little surprised if we sign anyone directly from Palace anytime soon given events over the last couple of summers.

Free agents are a bit different, though.
