So now we can attack more through the middle when teams are so focused on our full backs.

This pic from training was on one of my feeds the other day and this is all that I could think of...

I meant that maybe there's a feeling from both the player and the manager that when push comes to shove he is not the first choice. If we were to sign Thiago, then Gini would fall down the pecking order. 

 

All the signs are pointing to him leaving either this summer or next due to his contract situation. We wouldn't have allowed this to happen with VVD, Salah or Mane. He's not viewed as indespensible. 

Maybe. But as i say, Henderson got in that position too at one point I think, maybe even during that same season before his move up the pitch. I'd be surprised if there's many players who start more games than Gini. But I genuinely think keita was targeted for gini's spot when he was bought, but Gini did that thing that great players do, he took it as a challenge and improved his game. There's a lot of this situation that doesn't ring true about what's in the public domain, but I'd be really surprised if Gini was a player who didn't fancy himself to keep anyone out of the team.

The echo again this morning throwing more water on this transfer. It seems a daily (in fact multi daily!) occurance at the moment. 

 

All in all it comes in a strange article which pretty much says "fans saying we should buy from a position of strength, but we did in 2018". Then goes on to say, yeah, yeah, the premier league might have given Liverpool their full pay out this year, but what about other revenue streams, unless they all do we can't spend. I don't quite understand that logic to be honest, as it's just deferred isn't it? And it's not like transfers are paid in a lump, the cost of the transfer is usually as big in years 2 and 3 as it is in year 1.

I don’t remember that, I must admit, but hope it was the case. I recall it being written that Van Dijk was heading to City and Alisson Chelsea, but not that we weren’t interested.

All talk about Alisson was of zero interest then out of nowhere he signed. There had been loads of rumours of bids and interest but the reliable sources kept saying it is not happening. Either the reliable sources are not reliable or they are keeping shtum until the signing is finalised.

Yeah, but that's because we pulled out of the fekir deal. We couldn't afford him before that.

There were even reports that Danny Ward was going to be given a go that season.

I wonder how shocking karius was in those early pre-season games influenced the choices. There's always been so many rumours about what happened with fekir, you even wonder if the reason we pulled out was we just wanted to reallocate the money to alisson - although I might be wrong but I seem to remember we pulled out of that deal before the world cup, so I'm guessing before karius returned.

4 year deal agreed between the player and Liverpool. The player has already picked his house in England. Liverpool still to finalise a deal with Bayern though. 

Some French guy has the scoop on a Spanish guy playing for a German club on a move to an English club?

 

Very credible.

Had an email last night that Scarlett Johansen has agreed in principle to marrying me. Just waiting for confirmation from the venue and the priest to agree to conduct the ceremony.
