Liverpool Transfer Rumours

20 Sep 2021 13:15:42
Hi Eds, do you think we'll dip into the January transfer market, I realize that Elliot will be back by Jan/ Feb but we still haven't replaced Gini and I still think we need another forward player/ Striker? Or do you think we'll wait for next summer?

{Ed002's Note - I am expecting Origi to leave for France or Belgium in January but many clubs try to avoid planning to buy in January as players are less likely to be available. It is possible but there needs to be a focus on next summer.}

Ed. 002

What sort of position could we be in next summer? You've mentioned the need to sell before we buy, we sold a bit (Shaq, etc. ) . You've stated that previous purchases need to be paid off (Jota, etc. ), perhaps they will be completed. You've said that C.V. has hit all clubs (Ticket and TV revenue), Now that we are back to full stadiums and presuming that we can have a whole season with fans. Do you expect the club to be in a better position to dip into the market or do you think we will still be struggling financially?

{Ed002's Note - The club will declare significant losses in February and whilst there will be more money about the club will need to sell if they wish to make significant purchases.}

20 Sep 2021 14:39:29
Thank you. Presumably, "significant purchases" would require a Mane or such like to be sold first or a girth of peripheral players.

20 Sep 2021 15:59:01
I'd really appreciate Salah staying 😅.

20 Sep 2021 16:21:37
There’s no way we can sell salah! Just give the lad a new contract.

20 Sep 2021 16:33:51
I don't think Salah will leave, Barcelona are broke, I think Madrid have other priorities, and then you've got Juve, Bayern, and PSG. PSG I feel is a retirement home so you've only really got Juve or Bayern to compete with.
Maybe the above is all nonsense but I just feel like he won't have many better options to us and will eventually sign a big fat contract.

No doubt a few fringe players like Origi will go soon and we'll see a pretty big signing join along with the emergence of youth players.

20 Sep 2021 16:47:57
Agreed long. So in Jan we have no Salah, no Mane, no Origi and no Elliot. Makes it a little tricky.

20 Sep 2021 18:41:51
Prior to C.V. we had no thiago, curtis or elliot playing. Due to the fluke injuries last year 2 got game time and now elliot. With those three why are people still going on about a gini replacement. They are the replacement. Start to get to grips with it. We have no money give the youth a chance.

20 Sep 2021 18:52:33
I think I'd be happy if Keita goes, he should fetch 30m, possibly Firmino at maybe 45m, I think I may get hassle for that, if we can get Conan for 60m then maybe Mane for £80m. I really would like to avoid selling Mane but if needs must.

{Ed025's Note - conan for £60m?...thats barbaric wuger.. :)

20 Sep 2021 20:08:45
Can’t see anyone paying 45m for Firmino. The only top level club I could see interested in a non scoring/ link type striker would be Atletico and they just re-signed Griezmann. 80m for Mane is a bit of a stretch too unless he’s back to top form from 2 years ago.

20 Sep 2021 20:25:08
Mane won't be going anywhere anytime soon. And Keita most likely won't be either. Or Firmino.
Enjoy the fantasy though!

20 Sep 2021 20:46:38
So Flash the red, as you can see the ed said we need to sell to buy so who would you sell?

20 Sep 2021 22:41:30
Wuger, nobody. Enjoy the top quality players we have when we have them and stop wishing them away just so we can have a new shiny player to get excited about. Of course we need to replace them gradually so as we aren't left with 3 players up top in their mid 30s. No panic and as long as Klopp stays who knows who they plan to sign. The players everyone will be crying to sign in 2 years might be unknowns at the min.

20 Sep 2021 22:52:57
Wuger, I’d rather keep Mane than sell him to buy Coman. He’s injury prone and doesn’t score anywhere near the amount that Mane does.

21 Sep 2021 00:15:45
Are there many other players we could buy that are as perfèctly matched to our style and identity as Mane. And he scores and creates goals.

20 Sep 2021 19:39:57
Hi Ed25, what's he likely to sell for?

{Ed025's Note - i really dont know mate..

20 Sep 2021 19:50:26
🤣🤣 love it 025 mate.

{Ed025's Note - i think your the only one who got that jimmy, kudos mate..

21 Sep 2021 07:16:29
If I identify as Mane they can sign me 🤪.

21 Sep 2021 07:22:18
I won't bother answering at length Wuger, the guys have done a terrific job of summing it up for me.
Especially Kloppdog who just nailed it.

21 Sep 2021 07:16:04
I do think Mane will leave next summer. Once Salah gets his bumper contract, I don't think the club will have the stomach to give Mane a huge contract as well. Also, he might be the only major saleable asset out of the players who have not signed new contracts (once Salah signs his) . Bobby i think will sign a contract extension on lower wages and we will bring in 2 new forwards to replace Mane, Origi and Minamino next summer.

21 Sep 2021 12:17:36
Just because a player has signed a long term contract doesn’t mean the club won’t sell him or that the player won’t leave anyway. Getting players onto long term contracts is alsoa safeguard that the club will make money if they do let a player leave.

15 Sep 2021 13:27:40
Hi Eds, haven't come across this name before but is there any interest in Amine Giourmi I think his name is, plays for Nice.

{Ed002's Note - Amine Gouiri (S) Having only been that the club for a year it was easy for Nice to fend off the interest in Inter Milan. Scouts from a number of clubs have been impressed by his performances this season and PSG and others may look to him next summer, perhaps Liverpool - but he will want a guarantee of being a starter.}

15 Sep 2021 17:18:38
I just came on here to ask the same question as I'd seen some rumours. He's a good young talent. Has a bit of everything. Plays in a front 2 at nice with Dolberg so not sure where he would fit in along our front 3 could possibly play in all 3 positions as he has pace and skill and some decent link up. But unless we're going to sell one of our 4 then doesn't look viable but he's at the sort of age we should be looking at if were going to do a changing of the guard.

17 Sep 2021 14:59:44
Firmino probably goes next summer aswell as Minamino and Origi. Plenty of good forwards who should be available next summer we should be bringing in two.

17 Sep 2021 21:39:21
I personally don’t think we should sign anyone that wants a guarantee of being a starter.

20 Sep 2021 09:50:23
Guaranteed to he a start in one of the best 11s in world foot love the confidence of these players who have done nothing yet.

09 Sep 2021 09:46:51
I know we've heard multiple times Liverpool have watched Bellingham but not directly interested. Reports now coming from journos in Germany that we are interested. Any change in stance? Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any approach from Liverpool to Dortmund who have told two interested sides that he is not for sale.}

09 Sep 2021 10:41:03
Contrary to the general opinion i don't think bellingham is going to be a star player. I think Gravenbach is better and may cost far less but he is not english.

09 Sep 2021 11:56:36
They could both be stars thoug eh?

09 Sep 2021 12:03:55
He's recently renewed his contract and commitment to Dortmund. I'd be baffled if they sold him next summer but stranger things have happened. That said, I didn't think he was a target for us at Liverpool.

09 Sep 2021 12:31:38
Paul Joyce has confirmed Liverpool’s interest in Bellingham.
That doesn’t mean Liverpool can/ will follow through on that interest or that Dortmund is open to selling him particularly when it looks like they’ll lose Haaland next summer.

Liverpool played Ajax twice last season and Jones outshone Gravenberch in both games albeit he’s 18mths older. That’s not to say Gravenberch won’t become the better player.

09 Sep 2021 12:48:58
We can’t afford him unless we sell Salah, which would be a terrible idea all ends up. He is not coming to us. End of story.

09 Sep 2021 13:00:23
If Bellingham and his representatives have anything about them, he’d stay at BD for at least another 2 seasons. Plenty of time to earn a big move.

09 Sep 2021 17:20:05
Nope it'll obviously be one or the other WDW!

09 Sep 2021 20:36:59
Liverpool are interested in a lot of players just like any other club is interested in players and prospects. From there to actually signing the player, is another story entirely.

09 Sep 2021 20:55:22
Think he’s potentially a top level player. But also think if he returned to a stronger more demanding league now or next year he’ll be squashed and wasted. Good with BD in a league they dominate with Munich. Otherwise not convinced ready to blow EPL away. Yet.

09 Sep 2021 14:53:00
Is there a general consensus on what 'interest' means? Like for Paul Joyce to say that, does interest equate to planning to sign next summer? or that he is on a list of players we may want to puruse? etc etc.

{Ed002's Note - It equates to a damp patch on the bed.}

10 Sep 2021 07:54:36
Incontinence kecks is the answer to that Ed.

07 Sep 2021 09:16:02
Hello Ed2. Have we shown any interest in Valencia's Soler, Real's Asensio or Karim Adeyemi? May seem like random names but the BBC has linked us with all three this morning (albeit in their gossip column) .

{Ed002's Note - It would make more sense if the transfer window was open when Ascensio was available. Soler could be sold but would not come cheap. Bayern Munich were told Adeyemi is not for sale and his agent says eventually a move to RBL is planned.}

07 Sep 2021 22:42:26
Adeyemi looks special.
