Transfer Window Speculation

He's ace. pace isn't amazing but he's so good on the ball.

I think this season has wiped out any chance we'd have of getting him though.

Yep. He's in contention for the balon d'or. Why would he choose Arne Slot right now? It's a step down 

[Ombudsam]

Why have France got all these lads?

It's mad how quickly things can change but yeah, even allowing for thelureofthePremier League (TM) there's no way you're leaving current Bayern for current Liverpool unless they want shut of you in which case we shouldn't be interested anyway.

They've pissed and are continuing to piss away every bit of progress we made. Our reputation now is back where it was first half of the 2010s. 

It can change back quickly, but that seems unlikely. 

The only other way right now we get the best players is pay them more, which is another reason to stay clear if that's why they wanna join.

That’s how you end up with the likes of Ryan Gravenberch.

Wirtz was as vaunted last summer. We’ve just got a manager who plays mechanical football in a U formation. 
There was a glimpse of the natural ability from him Saturday with that goal. A new manager wakes it all up.

Caicedo, and can’t remember the other pup. Always injured at Chelsea.

Lavia.

Ah yes, august 2023, what a ride that was.

Olise physically looks much better suited. But yeah it's all theoretical nonsense at this point.

I don't think that's true. We'll be in the Champions League next season and won the league last year, and we've won 2 league titles recently. Loads of players would love to sign for us. We're loaded now too. We were skint then and had a few years out of Champions League then.

Who is this ray of sunshine with this positive slant on life?

The amount of leave they get could be a winner.

Paul’s misery is a function of him being a contrarian realist. That’s his driver. Not the other way around.

Big over reaction. Though I do understand the disappointment and frustration. 
 

And our current financial position means we can spend lots of money on good players rather than having to sign Joe Allen and Ricky Lambert.

Who was instrumental in us winning the league last year.

I think you're often only a window of good business away from being good again, or better. 

The manager obviously the potential fly in that ointment, of course.

We wont make them run around much either. Not only do players get to go on more holidays and enjoy more time with their families, but they'll be less knackered too.

Maybe that is what Slot told Wirtz to convince him to join us over Bayern.
