When has ANY team ever had a perfect window and solved all of their problems at once? I’m at the stage where I’m expecting a CM on loan and that’s all. And that would represent a very solid 2nd transfer window. True - but I think the owners see opportunity this season and there will be funds available. I think it's all about if the right player becomes available Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I would honestly say N-O is a better source of transfers than Luke Edwards and I know for an absolute fact that some posters on here (not me) could write more eloquently than him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool won’t panic when it comes to transfers. They’ve set up a great system where they identify a target and have it all set up and agreed well in advance when it comes to replacing players in certain positions. A couple of short term injuries won’t make them deviate from that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I have to admit - I am surprised we've not put our hat in the ring for Lodi if he's available on a loan. Nice bit of squad depth right there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice bit of squad depth right there. The issue is he’d want to be playing more often than not, I’m sure we’ve already given those sort of guarantees to Targett already.

Not even sure if one of them will arrive here since Chelsea probably see us as an emerging threat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 If Ajax won't sell us Alvarez, then you would like to think there must be a viable alternative out there who could do a similar job. It's a hole in our squad IMO, I know you can play Bruno there, but I still think he'd be better alongside a true DM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) I dont think we necessarily need a pure DM in there. Get a dynamic and strong box to box player that is good technically and tidy on the ball and we would have tons more options tactically. I’m thinking of someone like Seko Fofana or similar who I have mentioned before. Would be the perfect fit. Having said that, I wouldn’t mind say Maddison and a more defensive minded CM but it’s just not gonna happen. This is not a reply to the post above.

We certainly need some quality in that area, but if we're still going to nip in last minute for Paqueta or Maddison, I can understand if we are holding back on this one.

That’s the hope unless they are looking for more than one - not outside the realms of possibility with Thiago’s injury record and Henderson / Milner’s ages.

Ikon Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 It feels like we might have left it a bit too late to get two players in. Or at least risking it being too late. Fingers crossed that we haven’t and can get the two deals done. I’m talking a midfielder and a wide forward. Gonna be an intense week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) Perfect fit! Especially when you consider how Howe wants to play. He would be an absolutely perfect signing. Edited August 29, 2022 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last week of the window is not a new thing, and a whole system has grown around it. So it's not unrealistic to think we could sign 1-3 players on the last day, purely because all the leg-work has been done in the previous weeks. Yeah I'd be surprised if we don't make a couple more signings, things should hot up as the deadline approaches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
