Oh the foresight he can see into the future as well as now! They point to the deals Hughes has done. To meet Slot’s demand for six top attackers he signed the best Italian talent of his generation, Federico Chiesa, for a knockdown £10million. It was factored in that, after a couple of injury-hit seasons, Chiesa would arrive lacking fitness. The target was always for him to be properly ready by January, and against PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday he played his first 90 minutes for Liverpool.

I don’t necessarily buy the argument for buying a player just in case someone gets injured. The player(s) we buy could also get injured and could also have played as much as or more than our players. I’d also suggest that we should only be going after players that will improve us either first team or squad wise. Those players may not be available in January for one reason or another but could be in the summer so we keep our powder dry until then. However, I do agree that sometimes opportunities arise from nowhere and this week we’ve seen Hato at anfield who has been linked so we could make an early move there, he could then cover centre back and left back, the two positions we need cover for (CB) and improving on (LB). There’d be minimal pressure on him and as a young lad he’d have time to settle in. Failing that buy him now and loan him back to Ajax. Secondly it’s come to light that Tel wants to leave Munich in Jan. Again a position that we need to improve on as jota cannot be relied upon at all and Nunes is erratic at best. We love a moneyball/opportunistic signing and whilst he could be one of those. It could then allow Danns to go on loan and get regular first team football for the remainder of the season and/or maybe open the way for Nunes to be moved on.

Gakpo will probably want to play against his old club so wil be interacting to see if he gets a start.

Yeah very highly rated and already made his full Dutch debut

stupid auto correct…should have said Anfield!

Apparently jorrel hato the young Ajax left back was spotted at a field yesterday

that’s hilarious, peak klopp and he’s not a fan!! Either he’s having a laugh, it’s made up or he’s a bit mad especially when he name drops some of the clubs he does!! I know it’s mind boggling incompetence, so frustrating. It’d be better if they just said nothing at least then we could imagine/pretend that they’re trying behind the scenes!

Jonathan David is on a free in the summer and we’ll get to see him first hand tonight. Although not always best to sign a player on how they solely do against you! We really are s*** at this transfer lark aren’t we… Liverpool are ready and waiting to react if there’s a deal to be done that makes sense for the long term in the January window. So far, one has not materialised, @TheAthleticFC What are we waiting to react to, a call that goes like this…? “Hello, Dickie, it’s Real Madrid here, fancy taking Jude off our hands for free?”

Maybe that was the watered down version!

This tactic of calling them the worst united team ever and slagging them off is the same tactic Goldbridge and the like have used to get millions of followers on social media so it might just work!!

Buzz word bingo strikes again… Liverpool have sent their scouts several times to follow Jamie Bynoe-Gittens — they are monitoring the player, @FabrizioRomano .

Not saying they will but it wouldn’t surprise me, it’s the kind of sh itty narrative that could play out, everyone writing them off, the plucky “underdog” claw back an insurmountable lead with pep overcoming the team and individual hardships and early season struggles. Plus they get found innocent of all charges and are lauded for the way they built themselves up as a club and are seen whiter than white within the media. Ok so I’ve overdone it a bit but you get my thinking!!

It wouldn’t surprise me if they win their remaining games, especially with the reinforcements they’re signing and the return to fitness of most of their players. 86 points is the most they can reach so we need to aim for 87!

I think we were even linked to him in the summer before he went to Bournemouth. If he’s as good as the reviews he’s getting now and we were linked in the summer just make a move for him now and he can learn from virg

Alisson bradley quansah virg robbo jones endo elliot salah Nunez chiesa Then get robbo salah and virg off in the second half

And the irony is he’d probably want more wages than Trent would for renewing!

No not that much, maybe like 149,999,999.99

Offer Newcastle Nunez, jota and some cash for isak

Yeah or fancies a game of paddle!

That bit in bold seems a bit weird unless Hughes is taking over from slot as manager!

We can “admire” along with “monitor” to the transfer buzz word bingo

Yeah, the fact he’s only just turned 21 this month and put in some really dominant displays this season suggests there could be a top player there.

If we’re looking to bring in some younger midfielders with potential then I’d look at baleba to cover for grav and dibbling to cover for dom in the 10 role. Obviously I’d just sit on my phone, monitor them and watch you tube videos before they agreed to move elsewhere.
