Summer 2023 Transfer Thread

[El Rojo]

Nobody else seems to be picking up on the Salah thing since that initial tweet, which is probably a positive

I don't know how much he's talking about but he's right in that I don't believe him.

From the Athletic - seems as if there is no clarity on when the Saudi window closes.

Doing nothing else this week is very, very risky IMO

 

It also means addtional pressure on next two windows with surely Matip and Thiago leaving next summer. Salah probably going then too and VVD turning 33.....fair bit of work there. 

It is risky & pressure from fans point of view and Klopp too but he is never going to complain. 

As for FSG, they are doing what they have always done, do the minimum and bank on Klopp's brilliance to get the top 4. Klopp said it himself recently (although indirectly) - we only spent big when we sold Coutinho. All other times, it has been a case of do enough to have a chance of top 4 and consistently increase the value of the club.

Maybe Klopp is in on it rather than being a bystander?

Saudis supposedly now targeting Konate. Reckon they see us as easy pickings with a break even model needing to sell big to buy and no oil money backers. 

[rubble-rouser]

We’ll end up with Eric Dier won’t we?

 

And possibly one less hurdle to Ben Soak’s development.

Wasn’t it Gomez the other day? Getting really fucking boring now.

I think they see us as the most likely club to knock their team out of the CL places and are kicking up as much shit as possible.

[El Dangerous]

What’s the consensus on Kolo Muani? Worth a speculative punt with any potential Mo money? Not sure he fits in right now but he’s probably the player we should have signed last season.

We're definitely the most vulnerable of their rivals...

The closing date doesn't matter, I'm sure anyone going there for the football will handle the inconvenience of having no football until January.

You mean Klopp is perfectly happy with FSG's transfer & spend policy? If he was, he wouldn't have said in the past that the club should take more risks in the transfer market (i.e. buying before selling). He also alluded to the fact just a few days before that the only time we spent big was after we sold Coutinho. He also said we need a bigger rebuild and therefore cannot afford to spend £100m on Bellingham. That was BEFORE Hendo & Fab left. 

 

Klopp sees it in a simple way & has said as much before - he is an employee who works with what he is given, he cannot be angry because that is going to achieve nothing. He is not a Rafa, he just gets on with his job.

Not what we need at the moment, last season he was a speculative free transfer from Nantes so probably not what we needed back then.

[Elite]

I expect us to buy and sell nobody.

 

All these ITKs spouting endless shite for clicks as usual.

[TheRedMachine]

Balls to Saudi Arabia and their ridiculous farce of a league.

No I mean Klopp is in on the decision making and has final say on signings despite the increased attempts to paint him as an innocent bystander without any say whatsoever in the recruitment process.

 

Doesn't mean he has to agree with every aspect of what happens, or that the recruitment team has to agree with every final decision he makes, or that FSG provide enough resources.

Who said he doesn't have any say in the recruitment process? He has said himself that he has the final say on any player so not sure where that comes from. 

 

My point remains that FSG do the minimum, they always have and always will. I cannot imagine for a second Klopp is in on it because he has said it himself at various times that he is not.

The museum staff threw him out eventually because no matter how many times they told him to take the corridor on the left he insisted on sticking to the right and then walking into the wall in the middle.

Look at that smile. Anyone who doesn't think Mo loves it here must have cataracts or are in denile.

We know money was available for Caicedo/Lavia and we know we're not looking at a true 6, that someone wants a 'multi-functional' midfielder and that Gravenberch seems to be the apple of Klopp's (or Klopp and Ljinders) eye all summer.

Are you saying he's getting thrown in the deep end?
