If we were going to make a surprise signing I've got two names I think it could be.
First one (& less likely imo) is Mikkel Damsgaard, who seems to be a fairly recent target and we'll probably scout him over a longer period of time to see if he's right for us.
The second one and the one I believe we might go for is Christoph Baumgartner. He's a versatile player having spent time in Midfield and also as a wide forward. Seems like we've had an eye on him for a while and from what I've seen has the talent and attitude to become a top player for us.
Interested to hear what the Eds think the likelihood of either of these 2 players joining Liverpool is.

{Ed002's Note - Mikkel Damsgaard (LW/AM) Spurs asked after a price for the player at the behest of Mr Mourinho who may have taken his interest on to Roma. Now Spurs have lost the plot rather and have made a particularly low offer. If they are serious they will return and make a serious offer. Real Madrid consider him an option at the right price if they sell Isco. Sampdoria saying Southampton and Leeds, and more recently Aston Villa, have all enquired about the availability of the player who only joined last summer. Juventus see him as a potential addition but game time would be restricted. Sampdoria have told Milan that they are not open to being given their "off cuts" in exchange and want a huge cash deal - but Milan would need to sell Leao to bring him in - and they also need the money to complete the Tonali deal. Sampdoria are reluctant to sell but I suspect more clubs will be showing an interest. I expect him to stay another year.

Christophe Baumgartner (AM/CM) Hoffenheim are not looking to sell and his agent has said thaty they will be discussing new contracts for Christoph Baumgartner and Florian Grillitsch with the club very soon. To date three Premier League sides have asked his agent about availability - Spurs, Liverpool and Manchester United.}

Unless a non HG place suddenly comes up we won't be signing anyone.

Oh Mane…we just sold Shaqiri, that is a non-HG spot opened and I don’t think we will be registering Karius. So a spot to register isn’t a problem, it’s all about financial package for signing.

I think we need to accept the fact the club is skint and we are not signing anyone else. The money raised from sales now will be going toward paying off fees for players already at the club.

Chief scout there is no surprise signing mate. Would if happened before now not the last days. All players linked finishes at the same words of “doesn’t fit within our budget”. We’ve needed to shift some fringe players and reduce the rate bill of which we have done but it’s not enough I’m afraid. C.V. has hit the club hard financially.
