How much did VVD cost Liverpool ages ago? I remember most people thinking it was a batshit crazy price at the time.

Spot on! Need players that make a difference and not just signing quality for the sake of it. It’s expensive, but the right way forward. Soon we will be able to improve the squad by investing in to top top top young players. For now, 1st team is more important.

Good

No! But because I have seen him play in the PL for many seasons. He has quality. He’s a leader and a good character and has the right mentality. De Ligt is a big name and a massive “talent”. But he failed at Juve and Bayern. U lucky with injuries too at BM. My mates support Juve and they don’t like him that much.

So I’ve heard. I’m super tired. I was just gonna write something short but it ended up long and I couldn’t be bothered.

Hall will start, 100%. Hypothetically speaking if he doesn’t then I’ll be very annoyed.

He’s a has been. Career going in a downward spiral. High wages.

We will have to overpay, yes! But I still think it’ll be worth it. It’s more than a quality player we’re paying for here. Sometimes if you want something in life you might have to pay 20-30% more. It only is he top quality, but signing him is a statement of intent. The other players will gain more belief with him on the pitch and improve because of it. He’s as guaranteed to succeed as it’s possible. We could be signing another CB for 20m less, but there’s nowhere near the same guarantee that this player will be as good, or close even. Never mind hit the ground running from the off. We could spend 35-40 on a player that doesn’t succeed and/or struggles to settle or doesn’t see his future here long term to the same degree as Guehi most likely will. We talk about keeping players like Isak, Bruno, Gordon and so on. Do you think these players will give us much more time if they don’t see that we are taking major steps forward? They love the club but they won’t wait forever to see if we progress. Signing a player like Guehi will confirm what they signed up for. We have some ridiculously good players in our team as well as some soon to be very very good young players. What we need now is guaranteed quality over quantity. Adding the tiny tiny expensive pieces of quality that just strengthens us properly. There’s a reason that the pool of players that we are looking at is very very small. I know it might sting a bit for some of you. But it’s these last pieces of puddle that really take us to the next level. IF we get him which I think we will I’m sure most of you will soon have forgotten about the massive fee we’ve paid when you realise how much ONE player can add to the team on the whole. Get it done, it’s steep but it’s gonna be worth it.

I don’t want him. He’s good but limited in some regards. Wouldn’t mind a CM though, even though I can’t see it this window.

Why the sudden bump?

Based on him being him. It has to be perfect in so many ways. He’s into the very very small details when it comes to what he want in a player, both attributes as well as character. I can imagine him making a “small pool of players” even smaller than most other managers would. I’d be surprised if he isn’t more picky than most. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, it’s also a very good thing and important to a quite a degree. Nothing here for you to defend IF that was your thinking. I’m pretty convinced he’s like I’ve said above and it also helps us I reckon. Can also imagine him being slightly stubborn at times regarding what he needs and wants.

I can also imagine Eddie saying No, no, nope, not that one. Regarding options offered by Mitchell. Or however they collaborate.

Is that Fraser Gillan reliable? Hope it’s true. Really think NM would blossom into a very special player under Howe’s guidance for a few months. Think he would thrive in a settled environment. Also with our fans and how much we appreciate a player getting us off our seats. It’s a match made in heaven I reckon. He has things to improve but I prefer him to signing someone like Raphinha, I genuinely do for many reasons.

I don’t think it matters how much he wants it. He just doesn’t seem to be that type of character. Credit to him for that if so.

Madueke and Diomande. If possible.

People still believing Ando

I wonder how many quid.

I think we can get a winger anyway, and mostl likely will. Hopefully Madueke as I think he would have an insane season with us.

No thanks

Get in!

Really. Surprised if so.

Very excited if we get this done. Coup! Then get Madueke in for Miggy. Class window.

What kind of wages is Miggy on would you guess? 60k?

Hopefully the correct Ornstein. Not the fucker I tweeted when I said fee agreed
