What I am concerned about is that everything is slow and almost too measured. Angelo who we’ve been linked to for years has gone for only 12m to Chelsea after they took the other young Brazilian we’ve been linked with in January Andrey Santos. So even the gems we’re not quick enough with and the likes of Minteh are not highly rated where we’ve fought off others to get, even the team he plays for said they didn’t expect move so soon as he’s so raw. 
 

The calibre we are targeting is excellent and where the big boys are shopping also but we don’t seem ruthless enough in getting the deal done. 

 

 

 


We’ve been pretty ruthless moving on Bruno, Isak and Tonali

You do realise not every player we're linked with we are interested in?

I was gutted we didn't sign Diego Carlos and coutinho and look how that turned out. Our next signing will probably be someone not even mentioned so far

That’s how I see it plus look at some of the diamonds Ashworth has pulled out for Brighton recently. I’m not worried at all.

I just want to point out that I avoid participating in such discussions. This is your home, and you come on here to let off steam and legitimate issues against other clubs and that includes LFC. :)

 

I enjoy the discussion here. I enjoy getting the views of fans of another club which I respect, even if some of them are anti-LFC.  And unless I have something to contribute positively, I avoid posting. :)

 

 

 

Genuinely one of the best posts I've read from a fan of another club on here. :clap:

There are a lot of parallels between the careers of Tonali and Szoboszlai. Both looked like future superstars when they burst into the scene, but stagnated last year.

 

Obviously different positions, but both have plenty of natural talent to go with the huge price tags.

Bit harsh on Carlos. Snapped his Achilles in his home debut. Out pretty much the entire season.

No disparaging his likely quality, but if we had signed Carlos (and so maybe not Botman) and he'd snapped it here, we'd have moved Burn to CB and with Targett out, Dummet would have been rocking up some of the season until an early injury saw Richie (maybe Manq) there. I don't think we'd have finished near fourth.

Thought once we moved for Tonali Szoboshite(from henceforth) was never realistic, maybe it's telling that Liverpool only went in afterwards...

 

Think we're better served with an upgrade to the right side with someone who does a lot of good work off the ball helping to stretch defences with ball players like Trippier and likely Tonali operating down that side. Not to mention Isaks potential as a foil for others.

Thats a good summing up ? Again as with the Maddison deal I think Tonali has changed things. Tonali will offer dynamism in midfield, Bruno will have more influence going forwards as a result, Willock will improve I’m sure. They’re probably thinking they could do with more pace, goals and creativity as you say. I think we’ll see money spent on a more traditional winger type player.

It’s entirely possible it went the other way (we moved for Tonali after finding how Szoboszlai wasn’t an option). Impossible to know the sequence of events from press reports.
