Anyone read the full article? 

 

That bit at the start mentions details on what we'd offer. Seems oddly specific.

 

Any other interesting details in there?

 

Just that we'd offer £30m and think we can tempt him with the promise of game time. Nothing about a swap mentioned.

 

Hardy is mildly reliable but how the fuck would he know these details other than Mitchell ringing him up months before the window opens and telling him precisely what our plan was including how much we plan on paying? It's one thing to know who's on a list of targets - people outside the club like agents can leak that - but there's probably fewer than 5 people at the club who know the precise deal we want to put together and it's in none of their interest to leak such a detailed plan to the press this far in advance of the window.

I suppose you can see why we’d be interested as he has the physical attributes we lack, but I’ve never really been overly impressed when I’ve watched Quansah I have to say. I just see don’t Liverpool selling him to us especially at that price too

Trincao would be great but I don't know about his 'intensity' suitability. Guess we would use Murphy in some situations, maybe. 

 

He is heavily left-footed though, which would wind up those still traumatised by Miggy. He would create lots of space for Tino mind. 

 

I actually remember thinking he was class at Wolves but I didn't remember he played RW at all.

Rule this one out 

 

 

Just see where this going,

>They would reject 40mil from City or spurs, hoping to incite a bidding war

>Nobody would like to offer more than 50mil so smugly hold on to him.

>they heavy 1st team football finally wreck his body & eventually miss out most of the season.

>Have an underwhelming return in next season, hopefully still in championship 

>Panicked to miss out on any money club dumped him to Bournemouth or brentford for 15mil before 2027-28 season.

Just can't see us targeting Trincao at all.

Ah, okay. Interesting. They make it sound like it's down to Quansah, and there's an agreement in place already!

Not convinced by Dibling at all. Because he is so young, people naturally assume his potential is limitless, but it could just as easily mean he's hit his ceiling very early in his career. 

 

Personally, I think he'll have a career similar to that of Connor Wickham.

Surely Evan Ferguson is this era’s Connor Whickham?

 

Dibling has probably already looked more impressive at PL level than Whickham ever did.

 

Mind you he needs to make sure his next choice of club isn’t one that continually stinks out the lower half of the league and bases their definition of a success entirely on how it reflects against their local rivals.

Supposedly Quansah was the one we wanted as a makeweight in the aborted Gordon deal last summer. But Liverpool rejected that idea at the time. So sounds plausible Howe thinks he can do something with him.

Would be a good signing at the right price. If Liverpool want to slap on premier league tax, English tax etc then we need to move on.

I suppose it will depend on Van Dijk, if he signs or not. Liverpool have left themselves open and I'm surprised by that, as they have been excellent in their transfer business, these last few years. If somehow, they lose arguably their three best players on free transfers, not only is that a big rebuilding job, but, they have lost out on probably 100-150 million in transfer fees.

Mass exodus at pool then. First TAA, then VvD, MS and now JQ. Any other initials jumping ship?

"PL title" will be leaving if MS goes along with TAA.

Salah not going last summer has won them the title this season, but him alone cost them 100M plus (rumoured to be 150M) in potential transfer fees from Saudi.

 

As well driving them to win the league, Salah being around and on such amazing form has helped Slot get settled, so its probably been for the best. However, the counterfactual still exists that 100M plus would have paid for a very strong Salah replacement, such as Olise. Given its been a nightmare season for Man City, you could speculate that Liverpool would still have won the title with Olise and been better placed going into summer 2025.

 

fwiw, I like my football to be played on the pitch, not on spreadsheets showing finances.

Last season I agree, but I just don't understand why all 3 were given extensions/new contracts to avoid the current situation. If all three go for nothing, that is arguably their three best players, which will need replacing and no incoming money to assist with their replacements. I know Liverpool are very much ok with PSR, but surely that's going to take a hit this summer, if all the three leave. I realise it's hypothetical, as Van Dijk and Salah may well sign new deals.

We should just put something out at the beginning of the transfer window to ward off pathetic attempts - if your opening offer is anything less than £180m, don’t even bother. 

A new contract for Isak will be that. Still adamant it will be signed as the official new number 9, just need to confirm Wilson will be leaving before it.

He wears number 9 for Sweden and I've got no doubt he's heard all about the number 9 shirt at Newcastle. I'm absolutely certain, that he will be lining up next season with the number 9 on his back, unless for some ridiculous reason, Wilson is giving another year.

[SUPERTOON]

Quansah apparently not the best away from the pitch so not sure if we would go back in for him. In terms of RW targets, I’m not fully sold on Semenyo either.

He's not the best on the pitch either if the other Sunday was anything to go by.

Party boy?

[STM]

Quansah makes alot of sense to me, especially if Slot has decided that he's not his cup of tea.

 

It's all about getting the potential out of him, he's clearly a very highly rated and high potential player. 

 

Not quite sure why Liverpool are letting CBs go if VVD is on his way too.

Aye, gets in a bit of trouble if any of his leaked messages from earlier in the season are anything to go off.

[PRL]

Didn’t we get linked with Quansah as part of any Gordon deal and the scousers were adamant he was some kind of ‘generational talent’ (Steve Parish TM) and wouldn’t be leaving them any time soon? Has he had that bad a season?

There will be a lot of this to Liverpool transfers this summer coming.

 

Players that have not been in Slot main selections will be moved on, Elliot being the main one who will be an absolute pick up for whatever club gets him.
