I'm not sure it makes much sense at all really

 

If we need to sign a GK / CB (possibly x2) RW and a ST at a minimum in the summer/January, then DCL makes sense if Isak is staying. As what's the point spending money on a 2nd/3rd striker option when the big game changers are other positions that will carry big money? Osula is loaned out, then the striker signing would be another young guy.

 

Isak goes, then you will spend on a striker, and it makes more sense then to have your 2nd/3rd be someone reliable in case they don't settle straight away, which DCL is. Just a lot of good reasons to getting DCL as that squad option.

[Sibierski]

Like he's scoffed at DCL, but I'd wager good money that if we don't sign him on a free, one of the other clubs in last season top 5 will.

Mbuemo at this stage sounds like another Guehi debacle.  We'll start at £55m and drop out at about £65m. 

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest Brentford dont have the weird sycophantic relationship with their red overloads that Palace (Parish) do (does).

Some interesting names I've seen us linked with recently that are more in line with the better value deals we will need to start searching out, due to PSR.

 

Loic Bade (RCB) at Sevilla - recognised him as I watched Henry's France Olympic team, and I thought he looked a talent.

 

Yuri Alberto (ST) at Corinthians - never seen this guy play in an actual game, but the scouting reports have him down as a hard working pressing forward. Looks like he's scored well in Brazil of late and so is getting linked with clubs in Europe. Kind of value signing we could look at as a back up striker to replace Wilson if our scouts rate him.

Main realistic  transfer target for us ? 

Mbuemo all day long . If not him , Semenyo. 

I had a thought that's about to get me dog's abuse, but fuck you guys, i'm saying it anyway.
Listening to the radio the other day, it sounds as though Slot doesn't rate Nunez. As a loan with an option to buy, on the right and as an alternative option to Isak, I reckon he would be a decent pickup.

Gordon - Isak - Nunez has pace, unpredictability and bags of energy.

I don't think it will happen for a number of reasons but it would be a lot more exciting than DCL.

Come at me motherfuckers!

Can see man u going for him as cover / starter in cups etc, they can probably afford his wages for a non first team starter and he probably wouldn't have to move his family.

Buying someone for £70m then letting him leave on loan sounds about as far away from Liverpool’s transfer strategy as you can get.

I’d actually love Nunez here. On top of that, he turns in to prime Ronaldo at St James’ Park.

Well they're never going to turn a profit on him and we've never seen how Liverpool operate under Slot. If he doesn't want him filling a squad place, who knows.
Maybe cough up the £50m or whatever it might take to get him. I'd rather spend that money on him than Guehi

If he leaves its to the continent for a fee. But I agree with the rest.

DCL injury record is poor and he'll want big wages and he has barely any resale value. Plus his goalscoring record is average at best

 

I'd rather take a punt on someone young in the Championship

[lovejoy]

We'll 100% be in for DCL in January.

No question about it.

I feel like ST must be a priority below RW and CB for now.  I think we need to give Osula a chance to earn the second striker position.  

[CPL]

Wilson out, DCL in. 

 

One crook in for another. 

[timeEd32]

If one of the first moves of the Mitchell era -- one meant to usher in better global scouting in search of the next crop of elite talents -- is signing DCL on a 'free' with huge wages then it will easily be the most disappointed I've been since the takeover.

We'll only sign him because Howe really wants him, and on a free Mitchell might think it's not bad value.

[BoSelecta]

It’s abysmal value if he’s on £5mil a season (a meagre £100k per week). A well scouted £15m player on £40k a week is cheaper for ffp.

As would DCL to be fair.

 

He’s only 27 isn’t he?

So was Wilson tbh when we signed him I think.

He’s 28 in March. He’d need to play at least a year with us to accrue value in this dream world, so you’d be talking about trying to sell a 29-30 year old on high wages. He’s not a player you sign with any plans of future value.

[80]

On one level, I'd find Mitchell stamping his authority on the situation by signing Dominic Calvert absolutely hilarious.

Injury record over played, resale is there (Wilson had value at 31 after 2 season output, no reason DCL can’t be similar) and he’s goal scoring is for a proper woeful non attacking Everton team.

 

The punts in Championship for strikers isn’t there this season.

Yeah,that’s fair.
