Summer 2023 Transfer Thread

Come on Ryan you know you want the Jürgen hug. 

[LFC 6 Times]

I really like the look of Gravenberch. Big strong and powerful and really great technique, a huge amount to work with there. Make it happen.

That's simply not true. We had a bid of over £100m accepted for a player as confirmed by the selling club. It's silly to suggest we don't want a top class defensive midfielder or that we are not prepared to pay for that right player.  Lets keep the conversation to the real world about the idea of just getting bodies in at this point.  I think that's a bad idea.  Similar to when we fucked up the VVD signing and didn't just panic buy but waited a window, I'd rather we waited until the next window or two and got the right player Klopp actually wants.  

 

There are 3 parties in a deal to sign a player, not too. We could have bid 1bn and he still wouldn't have come here, because he wanted to go to Chelsea. The bid was no more real than when Everton bid for shearer all those years ago and we laughed at them. Klopp even told us the next morning when he acknowledged the bid had been accepted "whatever that means".

Will he get more opportunities here? Surely he'd have a similar seat on the bench.

Seeing as he is on the verge of a deal with Man city we should definitely try and hijack it by bidding higher than them. It can and will only end well

Big Jorge is on it....

 

And by it i mean his holiday!

Not for me. Never seen him have a good game.

 

Much prefer Kone at BMG.

[Jose Jones]

Who's better out of Gravenberch and Curtis Jones?

[Bobby Hundreds]

Gravenberch seems like the answer to a problem we don't have, we need defensive minded players.

We needed a top class defensive midfielder and potential top notch centre back.

We have got Endo and no-one so far.

[Scott_M]

One of the few ITK Twitter accounts I pay any attention to is saying we are set to bid c.€40m for Gravenberch.

 

Gravenberch can also play defensive midfield. 

[Funkasy]

Why we waiting until 3 days are left of the window before we are thinking about bidding?

[Daisy]

Literally no point buying him. Just get a fucking centre back 

[Olddantucker]

Is there any whisper of anything going to be done in the next few days?

Is it true that Salah went straight down the tunnel and didn't celebrate with the rest of the team and the fans yesterday?

He urgently needed a piss?

The lad needs to be rebuilt. He's missed three games already!

You're not dropping Mac Allister or Szoboszlai for Gravenberch and he's not going to get a consistent run in the #6 so for a player who's wasted a year and needs to play it would be an odd move.

 

He needs a move where he can be a big fish in a small pond or his career will go the way of someone like Renato Sanches.

We risk running Mac Allister and Szoboszlai into the ground, though. Thiago and Jones are already confirming all our old prejudices about their availability, which only leaves Bozza (also coming back from injury) and Elliott.

You're not wrong from the Liverpool perspective,  that doesn't make it a good move for Gravenberch though, he's on that developmental edge now where the next move has to be right, he needs to play majority of games under the right manager.

 

Maybe Klopp's apparent willingness to go for Gravenberch over anything else will mean he get's that development/playing time, but from the players point of view it's a risk given the players in front of you.

Kone looked the best fit for me, but that seems to have gone a bit cold.

Personally I'd take Thuram over Kone because he's more versatile but wouldn't mind either.

[Anubis]

Gravenberch , (possibly on loan with an option to buy) and Hincapie seem to be the names getting most mentioned. Kone bubbling under.

Reading David Hanko or Warmed Omari potentially more likely. 

[Anubis]

I've seen Hanko mentioned, but not even heard of Omari.

[TheHowieLama]

Warmed Omari is distinctly better then Cold Omari.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

These all sound like '90s Pro Evo names.

 

Merseyside Reds need to find the next Roberto Larcos or Frank de Mole.
