Any truth in this eds? Andre Trindade, a 22-year-old from Fluminese. Holding midfielder apparently. New name drop. Doubt it myself.

{Ed002's Note - Andre Trindade (DM Recommended to Liverpool as Fabinho cover a couple of years ago. Prior interest of Barcelona and Braga has gone. Fulham are keen to take him if the lose Palinha and Liverpool could potentially add him to their list of options - but there is a huge catch. Fluminense only own 80% of his rights and that would need to be resolved. They will also seek perhaps €40M including add ons.}

I like the look of this player. Good against the press and breaking up opposition play. Looks like he can beat a man too.

Do you think it would be a risk Ed002 compared to others we’ve looked at?

Wolves signed a highly rated Brazilian holding midfielder last season (Joao Gomes) from Flumieense in the Brazilian league who has taken time to settle into the PL.

I would prefer we target premier league proven or at least European league proven players.

{Ed002's Note - There has to be a level of risk given his age and experience, and as you say it may well take time for him to settle. And yes, I think that there are better options on the list for Liverpool.}

Thanks Ed. Palinha out for a while with his disclocated shoulder? and did we seriously have him on the list of possible targets. Decent player.

Klopp did say he wished the club would take more risks re transfers, Trindade could be a viable, Ali could aid his settling.

However, playing both sides of this debate, SB is already in the first team, Lavia has experience and 3 years younger.

I’m not the person to say how Trindade will develop or Lavia either, but SB looks an awesome prospect to me.

Kew17, we did take more risks in the TW last season for the disaster that we all know off with 3 of the 4 signings we made being gone already while Darwin as well was a huge risk so IMO, we are taking the risks in this context, IMO.

However with the way things panned out last season, it would not be strange to hear that we are being a bit more pragmatic in this window, making sure that we have all our ducks in a row before we pull the trigger.
