Let's assume pipco goes next week

Would you be happy with erikson from spurs? Same age, proven premiership.

Or move firmino back and get costa/ pea (both attitude problems but we've dealt with that before)

I think no signings of any kind will happen before the 24th (after 2nd leg of cl) as why would anyone sign without definitely cl.

If we go through:-

Vvd - £70m
Keita - £80m
One other marquee signing with pipco money.


If we lose then assume it will be none of the above list.

I'd take Erikson, but as alternative I'd take Dele Alli too who may be more willing to come. apparently would have been a LFC player already had we not screwed that up too. but Spurs wouldn't sell. and that's the problem, we can identify targets but getting their clubs to sell is the hard part.

Levy is the fsg antidote . We wouldn't get anyone of note of spurs . Forget top top names like Costa and auba . Or costly ones I mean . If we Buy anyone it will be a cheap up and coming .

Van dijk is highly welcome but he'd nowhere near worth 70 million. Also 80 million for keita?!

Erikson will not be joining Liverpool. Neither will Costa.

Pretty much zero chance of Eriksen happening, I'd take the other two now though for sure.

I think it's pretty obvious we aren't going to get Keita or Van Dijk. I think Chelsea will get Van Dijk. Keita will stay at RBL.
Why do I think Keita will stay? Well RBL don't need or want the money. They will say to the player - play one more season, do well in the CL and Madrid, Munich, Paris or Barcelona might come in for you.
We can't say that to Coutinho because it doesn't get any bigger than Barcelona for him. FSG are businessmen, they will sell Coutinho.
We need to concentrate on improving our weaknesses, namely set pieces and our organisation when we haven't got the ball.

Big Al. I agree 70 for Vvd and 80 is ridiculous but if that's what it costs. Also no one saw matic to utd. This tfr window is truly messed up so anything could happen. Spurs sold walker to city so they will sell if price is right. Remember levy has new stadium to pay for and supposedly doesn't pay as well as we do.

As I said nothing going to happen for 11days so let's be positive, back the team and give the eds a break.

VVD will not be the answer until our crap defensive setup at set-pieces, is figured out. That is our issue.
