Summer 2023 Transfer Thread

[3 Stacks]

Gomez plays Pavard's position and he has a contract until 2050.

Gonna be a fair bit of work next summer if we don't pull our finger out in rest of this window/in Jan....

 

Could eaisily see VVD, Salah, Matip, Gomez and Thiago all needing replacing.

 

Surely we learn our lesson and we phase the job - some of it now, some in Jan, some next summer.....smooth transition as opposed to another screeching halt and another 'rebuild'.....

I am known for a few things here i'd imagine....

 

Optimism would not be one of them usually!

I wouldn’t be quite a scathing but I wasn’t particularly impressed last night. Didn’t influence the game until the red card. After that, he was a bit better and made a couple of decent passes in tight areas which his team mates wasted.

 

I think it’s difficult to judge when his side are very clearly drilled to be low block, everybody behind the ball, difficult to play through etc. They just seemed so passive, which is the opposite of what we’d expect from him. 

 

Palace aren’t on TV again before the window closes, so I think there ends my chances to watch him. 

 

The jury was out before last night and they are still out this morning. 
 

Also, generally speaking, it's easier to judge DMs at the ground than on telly.  A lot of their best work is in areas that aren't necessarily picked up by the camera.

I also appreciate that.

 

Still, I was underwhelmed last night. Latest chatter is it wont happen anyway.

probably because our No. 9 was helping out deep in midfield as we needed some support in there.

No, it was a fast throw-out by Alisson to Diaz.  Nothing on so he chewed it and lost it.

Have the Echo done a 'Mac Alister not being suspended for three games will be like a new signing' type article yet?

I am off the bookies to put this weeks shopping money on him picking up an injury before weekend!....

[Anubis]

This ESPN Brazil article apparently says (by those that have translated it) that, our offer having been rejected, we are not likely to return to the table in January.

 

With Doucoure seemingly off the table it’s not looking good at the moment.

We are fucking shit arnt we under these owners. Never known such fucking drama when signing players. Utter amateurs.

[Section_31]

We get rejected more than an ugly man with no money.

I wouldnt mind but they got mac Allister at a snip and Slob at a decent price AND got decent money for hendo and Fab yet they are fucking haggling over every deal by a few million.

Rank amateurs.

[Lee909]

Think we are about 70ml net spend this summer. With the players we needed it's fucking ridiculous. I'd understand if we did a deal for Andre in January and decided to wait 6 months as he's the guy, but if they don't address anything it'll be a joke and leaving us in a shit position of wasting another year trying to rebuild next year and I honestly wouldn't be shocked if that was under a new manager. If they don't back Klopp I could easy see him walking for the German job post Euro 2024

[Leyton388]

Just sell the club and fuck off. 

[Mook]

Were people seriously expecting them to get another midfielder in after we signed Endo last week?

 

That's it folks, that's the rebuild.

 

In fairness, we will be starting a brand new midfield when Endo gets up to speed. Let's hope they can stay fit.

It's around 110 Million net spend if you include Gakpo and the wage bill significantly reduced as the four players coming in will be on far less than the seven that have left.

 

If Caicedo had accepted our offer they'd have shit themselves. There's no way they seriously wanted to finance a British record fee for a defensive midfielder!

 

Annoyingly I feel like we are only two players away from having a really good squad. Another centre back and midfielder and we are close to having a title challenging team.

 

Like a number of people though I think we are done.

They are rank amateurs. When it comes to supplying the club with the squad needed to compete they are rank amateurs. They know fuck all.

 

They know how to save money though yeah, doesnt help us like but they know how to save it.

[LFC 6 Times]

Fucking cunt owners. The caicedo bid was a fucking publicity stunt.
