My idea, and bare with me as it’s a bit wild, would be to replace a couple of the nine midfielders, the shitter ones like, with one good one.

 

Yeah, that's great. A wholly original idea. We'll see if Klopp wants to do that.

Thanks, your validation means  a lot. Hopefully Klopp posts on here and sees my idea.

Klopp doesn’t post on here but does read the posts, mainly to see mine.

He does post on here, but only on the breakfast thread.

I don't know for certain but I've heard a few reports that we won't offer him more than we pay VVD.

I'd say there's no way Code exists. But I met a load of Norwegians in a previous job.

Think he posts under the name of Daisy, calling himself a cunt and all that....

You mean in a a kind of "just sold Bellingham" kind of way

[TD_LFC]

Not spent that much really, Adeyemi and Schlotterbeck cost less than Haaland, Haller if they sign him will only mean they've spent 20-30 million. Sule was a free transfer.

You never know, certainly one to keep an eye on 

Doubt it would be a sale this summer but could be a Naby style deal for next summer.

One to keep an eye on. Denying a sale would happen while you get your business done would be sensible.

There may well be a relative win-win for everyone. A premium from us that reflects a likely succesful World Cup and allows Dortmund time to properly plan. A price that ensures we get the player and can plan.

Am I missing something with Bellingham? He seems one of the most sort after midfielders in Europe. Certainly young midfielders. Won't he be wanting wages that smash our salary structure?

Surprised city are letting Sterling go.

I think something has happened there. His relationship with guardiola last summer seemed to take a nose dive. Maybe because he turned down a contract? Or demanded to much? But since then it's seemed on the cards. I did wonder for a while if he'd end up with us on a bosman next year with Salah going the opposite direction.

Maybe with him being 19/20 if he comes next summer he will be in that tier below the really big earners. Maybe similar to what Tchouameni wanted and supposedly we agreed wages with him.

 

For him to come here think he will have to make it clear that he wants to come to us and only us. I cannot see us getting into a bidding war. Will probably look elsewhere if that looks like happening.

He's refused to talk about a new contract and has a year left.

 

They need to start balancing the books, or at least appear to be.

I would have expected him (and thought I'd read) him aiming to achieve the sort of deal Sancho did. 

[3 Stacks]

Sterling's been at City for 7/8 years, it's probably a similar situation to Mané where both the player and the club are ready to move on.

Guess we'll see next year..it just feels like another of those young players we get linked to before they make their big money move elsewhere. 

[Lee909]

Can't  us getting Blingham. City,Real,Chelsea will offer wages that blow us out the water. And no way we spending 90ml on a midfielder when we likely need to replace Salah aswell.
