Botman was rapid there

Can't see Burn being at this level in 1-2 years time, surely Kelly is marked to be LCB back up, unless internally we don't rate him

Honestly for the fee that Huijsen went for, I csnt believe we didn't go for him I know we had our Guehi goggles on all summer, but he went for such a low fee, and seemed a low risk transfer too

I know that's overly simplified and assumes we make linear progress on the pitch, all singings come good, we can sell fringe players like miggy, Longstaff etc. just wondering what the way forward is that isn't selling Isak for £100m, or the club pulling their finger out and boosting commercial revenue drastically which seems unlikely @The College Dropout you have a good understanding of this type of stuff

Can we review and increase sponsors every year, specifically when we make Europe? Just trying to think of how we can make significant progress that doesn't involve getting a £100m sponsor like the top 6 teams, or selling our best players every year. Say for example this year we either make CL or EL (not guaranteed, I know) , making Europe for the second time in 3 seasons, could we - Increase our sponsors as result - CL is probably worth 20-40m for group stage participation / making it though? - Assume we make 20-30m in sales/wages saved - Sign a RW, RCB and Keeper Then I assume we'd start next season as we started this season, pretty much maxing out our FFP allowance, but with a reasonablely improved team and squad So we go again next season, and hopefully make Europe again, with my question then being, can we bump up the sponsors again, and soon have them as big as the lower end of the top 6 teams, as soon as we can show we are 'established' in those positions?

What a disgrace Chelsea are. Imagine that phone call to Chalobah, after banashing him in the Summer

Surely it's a load of shit, being used in negotiations with Villa/Carlos That being said, I was about to say he isn't good cover for Hall (as it means a change of style), and that I prefer Botman, Schar and Burn to Kelly, assuming we get a RCB this summer, so could he be sold for profit Then remembered Schar and Burn are old as hell so no chance 😂

I know nothing a out him, but that's not a bad price at all assuming he's a decent player

If we sell him, don't worry, we can then buy Elanga, Guehi and Ekitike

Miss the dopamine hit of a high quality transfer. Imagine we singed Mbuemo out of no where, would be on cloud 9 for weeks

For some reason he reminds me of Yaya Toure, in that he's lanky and saunters round the pitch

Yeah, christ

Love how explosive he is when he makes runs. I hope he develops more to his game as he gets older, but this seems to be a standout quality.

Woah, Araujo supposedly available for €45-€50M. Would be a dream signing to partner Botman for me Would love to have a fast, aggressive CB in the ilk of Rudiger alongside Botman, can't think of someone better who's available, though I'm sure insane Barca wages, and the fact he'd have better suitors means it's a no go No idea if this link will embed, not done it before https://x.com/ReshadFCB/status/1877398088437866859?t=_TvSNv1q4q03o05D5xwheg&s=19

Another left winger? Why not

😂😂

Klopp is a great manager, but people act like Liverpool never spent any money, they did, and I don't think there was much between them and the City teams that were neck and neck and years, Liverpool recruited insanely well as you said Salah, Van Dijk, Allison and TAA are / were arguably the best in the world in their position, and Premier league greats imo. Then prime Mane, Robertson, Firmino etc. Makes me rate Pep even more to be honest considering he dominated them in terms of trophies

ITK saying botman is starting!

Man City after Khusanov, shame

Would also like to know more about this. In this day and age, new tactics become the norm so wondering when it either gets sussed out or other teams copy

I mean it would depend on the length of his contract... But I think Trent is way more than a £50m player There's no defender like him in football, and whilst I don't think he is great defensively, but he's part of the reason Liverpool have been so competitive the last several years, alongside Salah, Van Dijk and Allison

Isn't it the mental aspects for the player though? Like their knee may be all good as per the physio, but playing against Spurs away will require him to push himself way harder than a u23 game etc

Where are all the ITK's at? Can't see anything from Casey, Burnsie, Pizza Rob, Will etc whereas it's normally flooded with names by now Have they no idea who to guess as we don't know our strategy now under Mitchell?

Forgot he existed until someone mentioned his name as Schar missed the tottenham game

Seeing lots of reports and highlights on that Khusanov, looks a right talent
