I wonder if fsg summer plans were completely derailed by the failure of the super league fiasco. Instead they’ve changed tack, fattened up the cow and looking to sell, possibly to this Redbird lot

Don’t forget the undisclosed fee for millar was rumoured to be about £1.5m and we got about £2n from the ings sale.

You’d have thought Gini and shaq going (probably about £200k a week saved) would have covered a few of the new contracts. Also Liam Millar was sold for £1.5m if rumours are to be believed. We also got some money from ings sale.

Fingers crossed (that Bobby isn’t out for that long as opposed to not replacing origi) Don’t forget we have minamino!

But ironically we probably won’t let him leave now if bobby is out for the rumoured 2-3 months!!

Origi and minamino - that’s why they’ve not been sold, although would make more sense to sell them and buy someone who can actually play football

It’s the same tactics with pretty much the same personnel for the 4th season running. No differential, no evolution, no variation.

And also some striker from reading who scored his first ever goal last weekend… https://www.empireofthekop.com/2021/08/27/liverpool-have-opened-talks-over-potential-signing-of-20-year-old-championship-attacker/amp/

Jota if you include his add ons

That’ll do nicely, thanks!!

You got a link. Utd mate reckons 250k

Maybe lewansowski or haaland? The only strikers you’d think would be of the standard they’d be after who are available.

His transfer fee alone would be prohibitive let alone the wages Not sure how Gomez would feel either!!!

Given what klopp has said over the last few weeks about other clubs (big) spending, about how we do things differently, have responsibility during these times to act sensibly and more importantly fsg’s spending ethos then there’s no way we suddenly go and whack 140m down for mbappe and I struggle to see us spend any other significant figure that it’ll take to get a midfielder/attacker in.

Took some big hits today as well. Thought that was very brave of Burnley to target an 18 year old making his first premier league start

So if shaq is the only departure which is looking likely and no more incomings, again looking likely following the press conference today our squad is: Alisson Kelleher Adrian Trent konate virg robbo Neco matip Gomez Tsimikas Hendo fab Thiago Ox Milner keita Jones Salah firmino mane Elliot minamino Jota Origi Seems short on quality up front even though there’s numbers there and relying on the fitness/form of the midfield. We do have numbers there too but will that be enough? You can see why we haven’t signed anyone though as it’s a bloated squad but if we can shift minamino and origi on top of shaq then maybe we can bring in one or two.

Could probably name quite a few who scored more (for us) than Gini tho!!

Elliot is shaq’s replacement

Dale Johnson @DaleJohnsonESPN · 1h I'll do two other threads this week. One on the new interpretation of soft fouls, and another on how handball will be judged this season. ………….. Be interesting to see the other threads when he issues them

It’ll be a complicated deal to unpick if we do try for chiesa now given he’s half way through his 2 year loan deal and obligation for juve to buy at the end of it. Do fiorentina and juve cancel the loan and buy deal for us to deal with fiorentina or do juve buy a year early so he’s their player and then we buy off them and would they even want to sell him anyway. The deal is explained here… https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/12961/12091085/federico-chiesa-juventus-sign-fiorentina-forward-on-loan
