Hi Eds, I'm reading that Asensio is available for £34m. If that's true surely it's a no brainer. Is it a goer?

{Ed002's Note - It is hard to see where he fits in with Chiesa, Haaland, David and Mbappe. I would say yes he might well be an option but others are keen.}

Where is this £34m going to come from?

In a team that good we could sell Becker, don't need a goalie😃👍.

Always liked Asensio and would be buzzing if we signed him, feel like it's just another name though.
I'm sitting back until something is actually announced or atleast concrete.

20 odd mill for Millar, Grabara, Wilson and Awoniyi and a quarter of a mill from not having to pay Gini for ther last month. I mean, that goes a little way towards the agent's fees at least. Now we just need the 34 million.

The same place where the £38 mill for Konate came from.

I do understand why the eds are wary of saying anything about where interest lies. All ed2 is saying we are just one of a number of clubs vying for his signature when all he's getting is where we getting 34mill from and when it's getting announced. Chill out everyone please. We all want Liverpool to buy players but please RELAX.

I'm not asking the Ed's where the £34m is coming from because as they've repeatedly said on here we are skint. Unless more players are moved on there will be no more incomings.

I’d rather not deal with Madrid or take any of their cast offs. The first question they’ll ask is about Salah.

I really, really love the transfer window. Somebody who has not been mentioned at all in the month or so since the window opened become the single biggest thing anybody could ever, ever, ever wish for because some hack mentions he might be available (according to a rumour he heard at the bus stop that morning.

Then we get a thorough in depth financial evaluation of our current finances and rationalise a fee of £ 100 m being do-able. As an aside I like the bit I;this thread that says we get the money for this one from the same place we got the money for the last one 😁😁

It really is a great time of year for a cracking read with the coffee and toast at breakfast. I’d suggest everybody read the threads from the point of view of it being light entertainment rather than anything with any real meaning.

For serious content Ed02’s record of sharing information gives him the right to be listened to. Ed01 has cracking knowledge of the tactical side and obviously has / had contacts within the game, Ed0666 is a nice balance, a fan who knows what he wants but is sensible enough to say when he is speculating and doesn’t actually know and Ed025 is a good lad for the banter.

Anyway, I hear that we are in for Oblak for £ 80 m, which we are going to be able to afford by selling Ali to PSG (you heard it here first)

{Ed0666's Note - this post made me chuckle so much, thanks Derby needed some light hearted banter at the end of my day. But you make an intriguing point in you’re banter. For arguments sake we sold Ali and replaced him with Oblak would people be happy with that or outraged?

I’d go for happily outraged Ed 😉.

Happy. There's very few of our players that couldn't be upgraded on.

Outraged, Alisson is better.

We know klopp loves that player and if that price is genuine, surely we would be in for him.
The whole we are broke thing is part FFP and part ploy to ensure we get good deals. Think how rubbish we were in the TM pre FSG. We were an absolute joke. Paying over the odds whilst getting less than actual value for players sold. We were in fact probably the worst performing team in the TM after the barnes/ beardsley/ Houghton era because other clubs used to milk our success / rep.
Now we find Gems for around 30m and turn them into worldies, whilst selling bang average players for top dollar.

Is oblak any good with his head?

I think Alisson feels really at home at LFC. The difference between him and Oblak is marginal at best. So I say we stick with the guy who knows how to use his head.

Oblak is better at stopping the ball going in the net. The slow methodical restarting of attacks and distribution of the ball would drive us nuts.
