Hello Ed001 and Ed002, hope you're both well.

Given the transfer windows are truly closed for now (thankfully), would you be able/ willing to shed some retrospective light on LFC's window?

Which players did LFC truly show a serious interest in this summer that didn't pan out (either due to an unwillingness to pay the required price or the player unwilling to come to sit on the bench)?

Much appreciated!

{Ed002's Note - I spent the entire window explaining interest in few and explaining the Fat Kid from Bolton was misleading everyone.}

I believe we had interest in Lloyd Kelly, but bournemouth came in with a big offer which we weren't willing to match.

Cornet was looked at as a good option upfront to push the first team but again never materialised.

believe that was pretty much it!

I don't know how serious our interest was in Diego Laxalt at AC Milan, but he ended up going to Torino on loan. Surely we could have got him at a snip. Then again if AC Milan are willing to loan him out and the best move he could get was Torino, maybe he's not of the calibre that we require anyway.

All I've seen of him have been international matches with Uruguay, and haven't really seen him at club level. If he was watched, I trust our scouts judgement for backing away.

I'm guessing Laxalt left Milan to get more game time so there'd be no point in him coming to Liverpool.
