sh74 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 I was told the other day from a lad at work who drinks with one of the academy coaches and he reckons trippier and Aaron Ramsey are done deals. I guess we’ll have to wait and see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the impression that we’re just going scattergun in the hope we get somewhere. is that a back peddling I see. No-one knows what we are doing except for those close to the club. Ignore all rumours, all ITK and just wait until they are announced Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) If we don’t get Trippier now after everyone and their dog saying it’s a done deal, I’ll kick a hole in my wall. Super excited about that as a potential signing. Edited December 19, 2021 by McCormick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awaymag Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Ive been told, Salah, VVD, Mano are coming, apparently Klopp wished them well and said to LFC TV. 'When a bigger club comes in for our players, what can we do? We wish them well, okay gather round the piano......You'll never walk.........' Source is contact at the club and also Salah's personal chef! Said he can't wait for a Greggs sausage roll! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafalove Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Been linked with Matrial. Wasn’t sure initially when he was first linked but he can play as a striker can’t he? Could be useful having personal that can play several positions. We need a lot of players but bringing in too many could also upset the team chemistry and be difficult to integrate. Martial would be someone who could play on the wing but also provide cover for Wilson if or when he gets injured Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 The position we're in is an absolute shitter for signing players - especially with the world cup on the horizon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo_11 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 I never realised Gayle was on upwards of £50k per week with us...the last ownership were absolutely rotten - essentially £1.8m over three years to tie up a player and save investing in bringing someone else in. Hopefully can arrange a deal with WBA to get him out this January. I could also see Longstaff, Dummett and Schar gone this season based on their contract situation. If they're trying to get some trading down we might even look at the likes of Fernandez, Ritchie, Shelvey, Krafth and Clark who will have a year left on their deal to free up some spaces (fingers crossed).

Beth Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) Lets be perfectly honest, assuming we lose the next two games before Jan we would probably need 26-28 points from the last 18 games to survive., basically top eight form. Anyone good won't want to be anywhere near us unless we pay them an absolute fortune knowing more than likely they'll be playing in the championshit next season.

Gallowgate Toon Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Trippier would be so good. He's obviously a very good player but it's just the intent/signal too that would likely soften up players who are less keen to join because of our position.
