Assess the market in Jan I'm sure he is.

Starting to think it'll just be Barcola.

Andoni Iraola on transfers: “I hope we are close, in terms that we only have four or five days remaining in the market.” “So we've been patient until now, and I think we have to be a little bit more patient, but it's true that there are a lot of things going on, and I hope we can announce things quickly, because this is an area that has been really our priority, especially since Mo left last season.” “Everyone knows that we have a big hole to fill, and I think it has been the main focus, I would say, in this market, yes.” (via @footballontnt) “I think we’re working straight away and improving in terms of the market and the team, but everything is not going to be done straight away in this market. “I am confident because I value the players I already have a lot. There are high-quality players that we can work with, and now it’s a matter of how we can use them in the best positions, in the spots where they can make the difference. “I go to training every day and I see things that are very expansive, and now it’s a matter of how we can use those things effectively, so we can be a very good team.” [@footballontnt]

I would absolutely be keeping him and using him off the bench and in the cups etc. He has shown he can contribute.

And yet he seems to be monetising it somehow.

[] Breaking: Valencia are in talks to sign Harvey Elliott. There is optimism between the parties. [@MatteMoretto] He can play on the right, he's quick, he's not 28 and he's not injured. So seemed like the best bet of the few options discussed.

Yeah he was the one I hoped we would get.

That's annoying.

Seems unlike us.

I can see an issue.

Well we can't do anything tomorrow, it's game day! And then its Sunday so thats out obviously. Oh and Monday is a Bank Holiday so there's a cracking car boot on. And then by Tuesday there probably won't be enough time but that just can't be helped.

Have to get past Hendo too.

Liverpool’s midfield priority is Manu Kone - @Ahmadoubamba36 #LF One for Sammya.

Because we needed loads of players, he can cover a few positions and was relatively cheap I guess.

Andoni Iraola again on transfers: “There are certain things we can but it's true we need players in the wide areas. I'm sure if we can improve other areas we will but I don't know how the market is going to finish. I have to be patient as well as you.” “It's very uncomfortable for me as you are dealing with uncertainties all the time. In four or five days we will know what we have and then we can make proper plans.”

Andoni Iraola on transfers: “I don't know what's going to happen. Even myself I have to be patient. Then we get to September 2, this is who we have and the options we have then we can start thinking.” “For now we don't know. I have in my head what I want, we've been talking since the beginning with the club, they know what we want. It's about closing the deals.” Annoying isn't it Andoni?

() NEW: If Gakpo goes to Spurs or Man City, Liverpool will add another winger. Otherwise, they’ll keep Gakpo and stick with the current squad. (@FabrizioRomano YT)

Big weekend f2f meeting not required I guess.

() Liverpool closing in on Bradley Barcola from PSG. Guaranteed fee just above £100 million and about £20 million in add-ons. Still negotiations to take place. (@_pauljoyce)

) Liverpool have reached agreement in principle with Paris Saint-Germain to sign forward Bradley Barcola. The clubs agreed terms of the proposed deal overnight for package above £116m and important last details are being ironed out on Thursday morning. (@David_Ornstein)

I didn't want him sold. We don't have many players and even fewer who can score a goal.

Can't wait for tomorrow's breaking news that LFC and PSG are due to have crunch talks in the Barcola transfer in the next 24-48 hours and all parties are confident that the deal will go through.

[] INFO: Liverpool could sign Lamine Camara. [@laloumance] #LFC

If we have in fact got the price down £30m by waiting it out then that seems decent negotiation. We might actually have to buy him at some point though.

Wonder who's next on the list. Jacob Murphy?
