I wonder if these links to the left footed right winger from PSV (bakayoko?) is down to salah potentially going. If we can get him in then we let Salah go

Chelsea may go for pavard then with James out

As talented as he may be I don’t think he’s the answer to our defensive side of midfield. He’s much more of a box to box player and likes to drive forward with the ball.

Seems Chelsea have just activated michale olise release clause of 35m

along with Thuram’s son as well!!

Being bored I looked up some u21 South American lads we could go for: Fabricio Diaz (Uruguay) u20 World Cup captain and winner Federico redondo (Argentina) son of legendary fernando redondo Ezequiel Fernandez (Argentina) Oscar Zambrano (Ecuador) Easy this scouting lark!

Matip, Thiago, Adrian all set to leave in a years time plus a few unexpected ones no doubt so that’ll free up space. Get this Luis fella in as the starter and then some young star from South America or the lad Brighton are after.

Unless it’s all a clever ruse and they don’t want him at all but using him to distract us from who their real target is. We probably haven’t a clue who he is but just going with it cos Brighton want him!

Just scour South American for the latest wonderkid. Maybe that fabricio diaz who captained Uruguay u20 World Cup winning team likened to busquets, or take a gamble on federico redondo (yes the son of the ex Madrid player, maybe he’ll have inherited some of his dad’s ability). I dunno but if we can’t get the tchoumeni’s or caicedo’s of this world (or even lavia’s) then we got take a punt and actually use our scouting department to do their job even if it is via you tube or footy manager.

Of course it’s Adams he has a release clause although no doubt we’ll try and haggle that down or try to include a player to make the fee up.

When it’s not exactly a secret that chelsea have spent all that money on loads of players. Of course the PL are aware of their transfers. This’ll be like waving an imaginary card at a ref. Chances are we’ll get done on some sort of irregularity now although won’t matter a joy given our transfer strategy!

Sounds like when we weren’t signing a centre back and just listed everybody who could cover the position in the squad!

They absolutely do but what are the chances of that actually happening given their history.

Oh agreed and we should just stump up the cash but we didn’t meet their valuation last time and unfortunately now we’ve shown our hand he’ll be any cheaper

I don’t think we’ll do anything now cos we’ll either be priced out of moves with “players not matching our valuations”, the “right players aren’t available”, there won’t be enough time to get someone else in or it’ll be the“happy with the squad we’ve got given the progression of the youngsters”

Get lavia in now for 50m, buyout clause for the left footed centre back inacio is 40m then with the remaining money plus sale of Phillips do a deal for andre in January. Or test Madrid resolve with 100m for tchoumeni

And is probably the exact excuse that’ll be trotted out as to the reason for no more signings.

If he’s having second thoughts then pull the plug. We (klopp) have always said we only want players who are fully commmitted to this club.

Sky “sources” say that caicedo is having second thoughts and still in London.

Wonder if we’ll do a deal for Andre for January now as a cheaper option for midfield.

Milner too!!

Get agent Mac allister on the case!!

I guess the overall package for caicedo is less than the Bellingham one or is it the fact we have extra cash after the unexpected Fabinho and Henderson sales.

Well if we get £10m for Thiago and another £10m or so for Phillips then we’re at that sweet spot of roughly £20m net spend.
