The Bigfooty Liverpool Thread

Yeah I'm sad to see Elliot go, but it's good for his career to be at a club who will start him. Hopefully one of those situations where all around good-will will remain.

I dunno. At one point Dubai wanted to buy us and I wonder what would have happened then. DIC could have given us the money we needed to actually go out and buy players that could have won us the league a lot sooner than we did.

Been thinking about Klopp during this transfer.

He didn’t get anything close to Wirtz for years but now it’s Isak as well. He over performed with Salah, Firmino and Mane for years.

Coutinho bankrolled Allison and VVD.

Perhaps Jurgen wouldn’t have been burnt out, who knows.

 

[FreoRicci]

Actually gutted for Harvey Elliott. He LOVES this club unlike a certain RB who walked in the off season.

He was great and trusted under Jurg but Slot just doesnt seem to fancy him. A real shame.

He needs it for his career. He won’t ever start EPL without a few injuries

We didn't score a goal from open play yesterday. #FSGOUT

Not to sure about Elliot leaving. Given Salahs poor start to the season. And he normally covered at RW when needed, plus he takes a home grown slot.

That being said, despite more departures than in-comings. It feels like our bench is a little stronger than in previous years. So hopefully we see more rotations of the squad to keep them fresher for the deep end of the season.

The Guehi deal is no longer 100% on, according to some reports. Despite him having completed and passing his medical. It seems that Palaces deal with Brighton to sign his replacement has collapsed. Leaving Palace with little time to find an alternative. There is a chance they could cancel the Guehi transfer before pen is put to paper.

It will still go ahead cos Palace will end up losing him for nothing. So they will just take the money and fix the CB problem in January.

Salah will be fine, he's a machine. RW is covered too as Dom can play there but its expected that Frimpong will move up there when Salah is away with Bradley at RB. Or even Szo at RB. Gomez too.

The issue was Igor Julio going to West Ham not Palace

Reports are Guehi has passed the medical

 

[Visions]

I always wondered what they do for medicals?

Do they put them through their paces with some drills, throw them into a MRI machine, or just hit their knee with a small hammer?

Anyone actually know?

 

[largebus]

Had the medical but it might collapse anyway.

 

[neko]

Damn it. sets into an hour of biting nails

I think if we keep Gomez it's probably OK but I was hoping we'd get Guehi.

Check out the Liverpool YT channel, I've seen plenty of signing going through a medical. Lots of scans and real medical stuff rather than like doing sports drills.

The Guehi deal won't happen. (Source: Guardian). So we gotta keep Gomez and I'm sure we'll be able to give him gametime if he stays fit.

 

[gaskin]

We are still going to try and sign Guehi in January for a much lower price, apparently.

Deal collapsed because Glasner apparently threatened to resign if Guehi was allowed to leave.

 

[RossFC]

Should be 10mil max if it's a Jan signing.

 

[jod23]

I'm honestly fine with it. We should be fine down back until January. Then we can get him for 10 mill max.

VVD, Konate, Leoni and Gomez should get us through til then.

 

[RossFC]

Despite it being the biggest window in our history, our net spend in the last 2 years is 130mil (including Isak and Elliott deals). Likely still behind a few clubs with that figure, so the buying the league stuff has been exaggerated.

Yeah but opposition fans will never admit that, they will just say we are buying the league etc etc
