Is it too early to be Hughes out by the way?


It’s funny to shit on him but in all fairness he was royally shafted on the Zubimendi deal, a harsh lesson on the difference between working for Liverpool and working for Bournemouth. We don’t really know the parameters and finances he’s working with to be judging him. We can guess that it’s sell to buy plus maybe £20m-£30m net spend but I reckon he’s working with his hands tied to a certain degree. How can you tell someone we only sign players that are game changers then also say you have to fund these buys by selling Sepp Van Der Berg and Fabio Carvalho.

If it gets the deal over the line loaning him back to Valencia is fine. I’m not sure what the obsession with Bournemouth was anyway.

 

I reckon it's our previous obsession with goalkeepers needing Premier League experience.

 

John Achterberg was saying when they decided they no longer wanted to pay Reina's wages the criteria for the new keeper was that he must play in the Premier League. That gave him Mignolet, Krul and Begovic as the only 3 gettable options.

 

I had a glance at the Georgian lads stats by the way. His shot stopping is consistently good but his pass completion is really low (averaging close to 50% compared to Alisson's 84%). I don't watch Valencia and from those stats I'd expect he's being told to kick long.

 

How can these stats lads be confident he's good enough on the ball to play here given Georgia go long too and given Achterberg's assertion that keepers over 1.94m lack mobility behind a higher line and are less comfortable on the ball (with Courtois being the one exception)? Seems like a strange choice to me.

Outgoings -;

 

Carvalho - 22.5m

Clark - 10m

Gomez - 35/40m

Sepp - 20m

Morton - 20m

+ 9m from Solanke clause.

+ 30m a year in wages off the books with Klopp, Thiago, Matip and Adrian leaving

 

Incomings -;

 

Some 15 year old kid from Chelsea on a free.

 

Might be wrong, but I don't think I've missed anyone else out here.

 

Could this be our biggest "net spend win" window yet?

You're missing the manager and the fact Gomez, Morton and Sepp are still here, other than that it looks good.

Read you can’t loan a player to another PL team if bought in the same window? 
Sorry if this has already been mentioned or is Horlicks.


It’s correct but we were looking at some weird agreement where we kind of apis in advance and Bournemouth paid Valencia a loan fee this season.
