Camavainga available for €30m? Absolute steal and he'd be home grown eventually too. Not 19 until November.

{Ed0666's Note - wow that is a steal. We have a very good relationship with his agent also. I’m surprised Real & PSG aren’t all over this?

05 Jul 2021 00:16:02
I can understand Sancho because we have Salah there and Elliott returning but I’d be very disappointed if we sat on our hands again and let United get him when we badly need a midfielder. I thought they’d be looking for almost triple the €30m. If we want a crack at the title we need to get moving Klopp would want new players to have a good pre season.

{Ed0666's Note - this guy is just pure potential but someone
Like bissouma is premiership tried and tested

05 Jul 2021 00:25:12
Do I detect a hint of sarcasm Ed0666 me old pal🤔.

{Ed0666's Note - no mate I think he’s gonna be a superstar but at the moment he’s pure potential. We have a good relationship with his agent whose also Gareth Frank Bales agent. And i thought Real Madrid were his chosen destination and it was pretty much assumed he would end up there. If he goes to United for 30 mill they’ve got a steal. I can see him going there because his buddy Pogba would help him assimilate.

05 Jul 2021 01:09:38
Maybe Camavinga is going to United to help Pogba finally assimilate.

05 Jul 2021 03:07:45
You won't be able to touch camavinga under 100 million. I think that 30 million is minimum part payment plan of 4 installments that they would accept.

05 Jul 2021 07:41:18
He's out of contract in the summer and has absolutely no intention of signing a new one as per several different reports. It is of no real surprise that they are looking to cash in on him. Cracking player and a great buy for whoever he ends up getting him.

05 Jul 2021 08:55:48
That’s mad if United get a clean run at him for €30m, you mention pogba and chums but I can’t see pogba being there past this season.

05 Jul 2021 09:23:46
The lad could do worse than going to Dortmund to develop. Seem's like a good logical step before going to warm the bench at a giant club.

{Ed077's Note - Dortmund can only develop so many young players at once. They already have a potential star in midfield in the form of Jude Bellingham. You can't have a team full of U-20s only eh..

05 Jul 2021 10:58:11
Would he have played with Konate at international level? Maybe they can buddy up at Liverpool?

05 Jul 2021 09:04:47
I can't see how we don't get involved if he's available. Need a Gini replacement and one becomes available at the right price and age we have no excuses. He wouldn't be an instant starter but great depth at 6 and 8 then long term he absolutely would take over. Still loads of time left and usually I don't concern myself with it but have to say im a bit worried this window. Was hoping we'd go out and show real ambition to try win another league/ CL. Fingers crossed we pull 2 or 3 good players out of the bag.

04 Jul 2021 08:50:23
2 more transfers this summer and we are good to go
For me Bissouma in midfield although Neuhaus was my preferred option but that ship has sailed
Malen up front, lightning quick and knows where the net is
Both will add value to the team and both will have a substantial sell on value as per the FSG model.

04 Jul 2021 09:26:49
I would be happy with that as well, but I would be happier I think with one signing if it was for a truly top player. A midfielder as good as VVD, Salah, Allison etc. Put the money into signing who Klopp thinks will be the best. Barello for me.

04 Jul 2021 10:36:11
A MF as good as VVD, Alisson and Salah. his names is Thiago.

04 Jul 2021 10:42:51
I am not getting into this debate again but let’s hope you are right LFC. Thiago needs to prove it on the pitch no matter who he is playing alongside.

04 Jul 2021 13:50:03
i'd go for one more signing but one that is for the first team and not the squad and I'd go for a top class 20 goal a season striker that fits our formation and would replace Firminho in the first 11. If we sell Keita, OX and Grucic and have the money then go for the midfilder but we'd still have Fab, Henderson, Thiago, Jones, Milner, Shaq.

04 Jul 2021 14:07:25
War machine, a midfield of Jones, Milner, Shaq would not win any games. Cold hard truth, we do need another midfielder as the lack of quality after Henderson and Fabinho as the starters is quite alarming.

04 Jul 2021 14:26:02
Hence I’d buy one if ox, Keita. And Grujic were sold. We are heavily stacked with midfielders and can easily cover injuries. If Salah is injured who’s going to score the goals. A striker is more important imo and needs to be a starter not a squad player. If we have £50m to spend I’d buy a £50m striker not a £25m striker and a £25m midfielder.

04 Jul 2021 15:44:19
I agree with you to a certain extent but a £50 million striker is not always better than a £25 million striker. Look at man utd, probably the most expensive team ever assembled and the likelihood is they're not going to do an awful lot. Sir Alf Ramsey once famously said I never play my best players but I always play my best team.

{Ed077's Note - PSG and Man City say hello (to the Man Utd comment)

04 Jul 2021 16:21:41
Thing is war machine, none of those players did adequately cover during our injury crisis last season, when both Henderson and Fabinho weren’t playing in midfield we looked as soft as sh*te, teams just played through us. Just imagine if we lost Fabinho and Henderson for any extended period. We’d be done for as none of the rest are remotely capable of playing a disciplined anchor role. And in Keita’s case he’s not remotely capable of playing with any competency whatsoever.

04 Jul 2021 16:40:24
Agree with you Vx4 but I think we are at more risk if Salah gets injured re goal scoring as look at the scoring output from rest of the team. If edwards and Klopp can pull 2 hats out of the bag then fill the 2 positions. If it’s 1, I go for striker.

04 Jul 2021 19:30:13
That’s why I’m disappointed we didn’t sign Daka, I think he’d be great signing in that respect and wouldn’t have broken the bank. You’re quite right that if we lose Salah we lose a huge amount of our goals.

04 Jul 2021 20:31:28
Yves Bissouma (CM) interest pending klopps request to Premier League to switch to 5 a side during African nations.

04 Jul 2021 21:32:32
Afcon would mean we miss Mané and Salah for 2 games max. The winter break overlaps it.
It’s not as much an issue as some think.
