Echo reporting that Lloyd Kelly could be of interest.

Any truth here?

Also Weston Mckennie I know was mentioned as a cheap option for midfield. Is there anything it it?

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Lloyd Kelly has been of interest before - I am not aware of any approach but he could cover centre backand left back. Weston McKennie (CM) wants to play in the Premier League and watched by Brighton, Everton and Crystal Palace, but the smarter scouts should have noticed that Schalke have a far better midfield player in Suat Serder which is where the efforts should be going. Southampton have a declared interest. Hertha Berlin has a declared interest and plenty of money.}

Ed’s appreciate there are lots of variables but do you think we will be making our signings towards the end of the transfer window as we need to make some sales before buying or do you think we will be trying to get the purchases done early?

{Ed002's Note - I am thinking Tuesdays.}

Any particular time?

{Ed002's Note - Between 11:00 and 12:00.}

Excellent, I’ll block that time out every Tuesday in my diary and get back to my latte on swanpool beach bored out of my tiny little mind.

I still have a feeling we will move for Lloyd Kelly in the coming weeks. Maybe offer a fringe player or two (Herbie Kane, Larouci etc) in exchange to bring down the fee.
He provides decent cover for two positions, fee will be lower than the alternatives, lesser wages and home grown.
Cannot see how Klopp does not see the merits in this signing if majority of the funds are to be diverted to signing Thiago.

The Llyod Kelly thing seems to come from both the fact we looked at him last season and a staff writer at the Echo doing an opinion piece a few weeks back that Kelly would be a "Robertsonesque" rough diamond that Klopp could hone into a quality fullback.

Not sure if it has any basis in reality.

Hi as HB has plenty money why aren't they buying Gruijic?

{Ed002's Note - Because the figure quoted to them was higher than their valuation.}

I think you're wrong there Ed002. I have it on good authority that on Tuesdays Klopp likes to take an early lunch and read Tatler articles to Naby. Andreas the fitness guy is always trying to pinch Jurgens specs, but on Tuesdays between 11 and 12, Jurgen gets Virgil to pretend to sweat, leaving Andreas baffled and therfore leaving Jurgens goggles alone.

I suggest that you read David Conn’s article in The Guardian about the City case at the CAS. There was an infraction of FFP that was time barred and Man City did not cooperate with the investigation properly.

I wouldn't be surprised if we signed Kelly. We've held an interest before and Klopp has bought a relegated player every season since he's been at the club. He likes a bargain, that man.
