Conor Bradley going on loan to Bolton Wanderers apparently.  

Confirmed on the offal.

 

Hopefully it turns out to be a good move for Conor.

 

Just had a look at Bolton's results and lineups at the back end of last season - they switched formations a fair bit, playing 4-4-2 or 3-4-3. They won 5, drew 4 and lost 1 of their last 10 games last season.

Taki gone. 

 

 

[Harry Squatter]

Could have rinsed them for a bit more if the Tchouameni money but he wanted to leave anyway.

He’s a good player but a bit too weak and slow for the PL. Rapt for him to have had a good final season with us. Wish him all the best. 

[Harry Squatter]

Good luck to him. Struggled at times and the break in his first few months obviously never helped him settle. Scored some useful goals last season but Klopp never really trusted him to dislodge the established front 3.

Not sure it's a great deal. £12.9m guaranteed. Feels a bit low when you think what £13m buys you these days.

 

All towards the pot I suppose though.

[joe_fishfish]

Scored some important goals for us, underrated in some ways but clearly not quite up to it in others. Good fee for him. Decent signing in the end.

We'd have snatched someone's hand off at half of that 12 months ago, we couldn't give him away. He cost 7.5m, helped us win 2 cups and we make a little profit. Maybe we could have got more, but it seems to suit everyone for him to move on. And while I imagine Monaco don't want to match his wages, he probably won't be paying any tax, so it's all good for us.

Aren't we down a forward, now? Two, if you don't count Carvalho coming the other way.

Diaz and Nunez in. Divi, taki and mane out. If you count carvalho, seems a fair swap to me.

Yeah 'spose. I'd not counted Diaz as an incoming but he is, really.

I look at it 3 in 3 out. But klopp now has 2 forwards he actually wants to use, where as he never really wanted to play big div or minamino. So it will mean we'll go into next season with 5 forwards we can rotate through the CL & PL, where as this time last year it was 4. 

 

It's why I'd have been happy had Chamberlain and milner left this summer and we got a Diaz stature for midfield. Klopp has little interest in playing Chamberlain, and milner gets less minutes by the year. 

[Scott_M]

Wonder where Arsenal are getting the money from?

 

Or are they planning on Saka leaving?

 

[LFC 6 Times]

Scored a some really important goals in the cups for us. Never complained. Made a nice profit on him. Good luck to the lad.

 

Shame that this squad depth thing doesn’t seem to be for us.

Maybe it is just because follow us and our news so it seems like it is so, but there really does always seem to be more stuff in news about us and wages/not wanting to pay/spend than there is other big clubs.

[Creator Supreme]

With Mane, Mini, Div out the door, I'd like to still see 1 or 2 more in the door, but I think it's unlikely!

A lot of it is probably down to the colossal number of supporters we have, which is increasing exponentially under Klopp. News about us gets traction, so they delve into all the contract/wages stuff when there's nothing else. 

 

There was wall to wall Nunez stuff over the last fortnight and very little about Haaland, from what I saw, which is pretty hilarious.

Gets views,sells papers. 

Oh and we are the one big club that appears not want to get involved when paying wages.

It's like in their desperation to get the message out there that we won't be buying anyone this summer the briefed journos have linked us too closely to one particular player (Bellingham) and now they are trying to reduce the expectation that we actually get him.

I'm surprised anyone believed we would get him. It was always going to be a 80/90ml fee and nearly 200k a week to get that deal done as everyone would have been in for him. 

 

I'm not arsed if we don't get him as I've not seen enough to suggest he's close to worth that fee. He would need to ha e a Gerrard level career to justify that

Yeah, but they originally announced haaland on the last week of the PL season, he just signed last week for ally to be on the anniversary of his dad signing for city. And I'm sure he'd signed, they just hadn't announced it.

 

And the other top teams don't have as much about wages, because that is less of an issue for them. This Bellingham thing has been a joke all along. We were no more likely to get him than we were Sancho, haaland or mbappe.
