Summer 2021 transfer thread.

Most likely Milner covers for Trent, especially if we do get another midfielder in.

 

Otherwise, a player from the u23s

 

No chance its Gomez. We've evolved loads since he was used there.

 

The nightmare scenario is where we have to play Hendo or Fabinho there

I’ll make a realistic transfer prediction now, before August The Echo will run a story about how our most important new arrival of the summer will be the returning fans and how they give us an edge on the opposition.

Or no need to replace Gini as young Curtis will fill the role saving millions another FSG moneyball masterstroke etc

I can’t get upset about the thought of losing Neco Williams. He had a couple of decent league cup games initially, but I think he’s been a serious weak link in few games he played last season. 
 

The 2 away games against Brighton, he was really poor. Really poor at Lincoln as well. 
 

Maybe he’s just not kicked on as would hoped?

I'd love for us to be in for someone like Halaand and it not be some far fetched fantasy but a genuinely realistic move. 

Only City,Chelsea,PSG and a stretch United can afford 100mill plus wages in the middle of pandemic

Some fans writing off Neco at this point is fucking nuts. Expecting a young lad to come in once every few months and just turn it on is crazy. Many experienced pros find it hard with no rhythm to perform. He may not prove good enough but judging a lad just turned 20 on the back of 4 or 5 starts is absolute bollocks. If we weren't desperate to find cash for transfers yiu loan the lad out. But the penny pinching means you sell

sorry not following you here you saying there no need to replace gini as we got curtis?

No, there is no need to replace Gini because that's Thiago. There is no need to bring another midfielder in as we have Curtis Jones. 

 

It isn't proof to 'moneyball'. Its recognising how good Jones is.

True. But the reports (which we are all basing this on) were clear it is his decision. We won't loan him though. May as well swap him for Boyle i guess.

Although true, we don’t see him train every day. I’m sure if Klopp had more trust in him, we’d have seen him more often. 
 

He did play a reasonable amount before Xmas - thinking about, I can only remember bad performances.

Finding out we’re selling Nico.                                     Finding out Milner is the

                                                                                     back up right-back

Come on, he'll never make it here. It's so obvious.

There's usually a small window where our youngsters are still highly rated, but before they've been seen - and exposed - much in top flight action; that's the time to sell. Once in a while a Trent or Jones will come along, but Williams - though promising - isn't really up there.

 

He's a full international, and needs games. £10m would leave everyone happy.

Obvious on 600 odd minutes of which tbe vast majority have been in second string teams or the odd 10 mins off the bench. He's just turned 20 most defenders are miles off at that age.
