Just because today there's been a few rumours linking us in the press. Edo2 where do you see bale going if anywhere? And do you see a deal where a loan and a percentage of wages are paid? Interested in your insight into how this could work. Cheers on advance.

Zidane: “If I had a fourth substitute today I would not have brought him on. "
Gareth Bale : "I've got three years left on my contract. If they want me to go, they'll need to pay me €17m per season. If not, I'll stay here. And play golf, I will. "

The bale quote is not real either, or certainly no proof he said it. This is the problem with the internet, it’s posted somewhere and people just take it as truth without any thought.

Bale is off to United. You heard it here first. Well, apart from the fact that they've been linked with him since he was at Spurs.
He's the perfect other wing option to Alexis Sanchez. i. e. Crap and Over paid.

Samuel Chukwueze is a name that has popped up in the recent past, a good young forward talent plying his trade at Villareal, some rumours circulating that Liverpool are interested, any insight into this one eds?

Unbelievable1
{Ed002's Note - Samuel Chukwueze (RW) a Villareal youngster in Spain under the Cotonou Agreement that drew attention of Arsenal again recently when they were scouting another player (Pablo Fornals). As a 16 year old he had trials at Arsenal after the Under 17 World Cup but it came to nothing. Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich have a declared interest in the player, as does Leicester City but they realised there would be a need to overpay on transfer fee or wages to ensure a Work Permit could be obtained so asked for a price - and stepped back at the €60M quoted.}
22 May 2019 20:20:19
Cheers Ed002, I've watched Chukwueze recently against Barcelona and thought he looked a real talent, unfortunately €60M seems a ridiculous fee, I've seen links to Nicolas Pèpè recently but maybe I'm being over optimistic and unrealistic, I'm sure we probably won't see any real transfer activity until after the Champions league final, thanks for the quick response.

I’m intrigued who we actually get seems to be very under the radar!
Although given our season isn’t over we probably are waiting for this.

Morning lads I've been told by a good friend of mine with connections to the club that's the budget for this season is £25 million plus player sales so I don't see us going big this summer.
Brandt will cost between 50-60million so very unlikely
We could be taking gotze on a two year contract as Klopp wants to loan jones and Woodburn out as he sees them as future first trainers in 2/ 3 seasons so gotze is the perfect stop gap as a lallana replacement although it's believed he will have to take a pay cut as we only want to offer him around 70k pw.
Just passing this on, peace ✌️.

I mean I appreciate the info but time and again the Ed's have there aren't really set budgets in the traditional sense.
It sounds to me like your friend got his info from a certain journalist. I mean all three of those predictions just seem way off.

Guys the OP is just passing on what he’s been told, there’s no need to get so aggressive. If the player sales includes Ingsy and Solanke, plus whatever we get from other player sales such as Kent Migs etc. its not so bad. I don’t think there will be any 50M+ signings this summer, and with Ox coming back, we just need three squad additions - GK, full back cover, and maybe a right footed attacking player. £60-80M May be sufficient.

I agree Klopping in the sense that this is a rumours website and most of us are more than happy for a little gossip, but "so aggressive" seems a little dramatic don't you think?

No one’s being aggressive, peeps jus layin down a slab of truth. There’ll be no quarter billion spending, but if one the big dogs leaves the yard then a new puppy will have to be sought. Howevs, the sentiment of a smaller net spend is more likely than the last two seasons, especially if we have spent beyond our means as Bro002 implied. Ya feel me?

Brandt went to Dortmund for £24mil. a lot less than the £50-60mil muted above.

I'm I missing something or didn't ed02 say the "release clause" or whatever it's called in his contract was unrelated to Liverpool? We wouldn't have gotten him that cheap clearly.
I trust Klopp and his team, if they didn't press for him or whoever, I like to think there's a plan for a better alternative. In this moment, we all should be worrying about how to get past TOT and lift that trophy and not transfers. The campaign have been a blinder and would be nice to add a trophy for the first time since 2012.

I am happy for Klopp to improve what he has got so as long as no e of the big hitters leave it's as you were next season. Although I would like to add goals from midfield.

22 May 2019 18:40:53
me too Lang. Think Kieta and the OX will both get some goals and Firmino should get a few more next year. Just need that one player AM who can cover the front 3. I thought that was Brandt, but many seem to be available. Hope we choose the right one.

It’s not just getting goals, we lack a midfielder that can pick a pass in midfield. We’re too lumpen and workmanlike, plus we have no one who is capable of taking a free kick.

23 May 2019 15:02:07
How do we lack a midfielder that can pick a pass. Hendo, Fab, the Ox, Shaq and Keita are all decent passes and look to move possession into attack.
