Ed02, Do you know if Liverpool still have Bissouma as a target?

{Ed002's Note - Yves Bissouma (CM/DM) Brighton will resist any approaches although the player has made known his desire for the club to consider offers for him but has not formally requested a transfer. He shares a "representative" with Pepe who he spent a season with at Lille and he failed to persuade Arsenal to move for him - and since then Arsenal have signed Partey and a change in the decision process at Arsenal means any move is only possible if they can clear the clutter of Torreira, Xhaka and Guendouzi - then they could look to him to play alongside Partey. He is a significant upgrade on Xhaka and Elneny and will add experience when Dani Ceballos departs. Arsenal are working hard to sell players to make space for him but are struggling right now. Interest of Spurs will have departed with Mr Mourinho. Monaco may also provide an option but I suspect the price will be too high for them and they have a first choice preference. He is another who would be off to the Africa Cup of Nations in January 2022 and not Home Grown makes him less attractive to most English sides although Manchester City, Liverpool and Leicester have spoken with his representative, but Leicester have another solution pretty much agreed already. He is not first choice for Manchester City but Liverpool interest remains. There is a further complication in that his family is directly involved in all major decisions.

Bissouma's concern on African cup is make sense. How about Ruben Neves Ed? I have heard that LFC has monitored him. Pep ljinders also knows him a lot when he was at Porto.

{Ed002's Note - What does "monitored" mean?}

I mean Ruben Neves has been monitored as one of target for Gini replacement Ed.

{Ed002's Note - You think Liverpool have someone following him around?}

They’re following him around in an unmarked brown 1979 Austin Allegro with a vinyl roof, so as not to arouse suspicion Ed.

They don't call him Peepin' Lijnders for nothing, Ed002! He's sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake 👀.

Rumoured that Wolves will accept £35m for Neves but isn't he a similar player to Fabinho?

To be honest, I’ve not been overly impressed by Neves this season. I think there’s much better value talent out there.
