@Mobyhaque1 This window reminds me a little of that summer window with hodgson… not quite as bad as that but I can remember us playing at man Utd early that season and being caught surprised by how much weaker our squad had got and how glaring the holes were.
@Knox_Harrington He’s a good option if we are looking for depth at RW/CF.
But our recruitment, contracts, squad building strategy is the first thing that needs to be overhauled if the new investors want to make us successful again
@Karl939 This summer we have spent like we finished outside of CL places. Do we really believe there aren’t players we could sign that wouldn’t vastly improve our squad?? We triggered a cheap release clause for Munoz & sold jones for ~30m below his value - that’s the sum of our window
@WalletLikeJohn Semenyo was available for £65m last Jan. Maybe he would have still chosen city but that looked an odd decision by us then and it looks terrible at the end of this window
@Scaife51 Yes and no. It would the height of stupidity to buy an injured player at ~£25mill above market value - we won’t do that. Might as well just wait till Jan and give either Munoz or dom the role till then
@mikeeeLFC It didn’t make a lot of sense when it was reported last week we’d bid £50mill for him. Well below what Brighton would want in an inflated market and didn’t make much sense as he’s injured for 3 months unless they thought that would make him cheap
@LFCApproved Remember he’s out back up LB because we were told that the funds would go to other positions…. No RB, no RW, no DM, no back up striker. We’ve done a good loan CB for less wages than konate would have got and a really promising back up winger with upside. That’s it
@David_Ornstein@TheAthleticFC Judging by the last 3 summers (zubimendi, diomande, kvara etc) when david uses this language over Liverpool transfer targets this historically means we aren’t getting this done.
@TheAnfieldWrap Can’t wait for the mass briefing that we tried but barcola was too expensive and Liverpool had concerns over minteh’s injury.
Well d’uh
@Saddleworth805@dlmjnk I don’t think we have bought a bad player (other than the GK) but majority don’t compliment the other signings or pre-existing squad so haven’t had the platform to succeed. Kerkez is great example - for him to succeed you need a more central LW, hybrid RB and a wide attacking RW
@Saddleworth805@dlmjnk Signing a keeper who can’t play out from the back with 2 fullbacks who like to be high, wide, are poor in the air and aren’t defensive minded alongside 2 strikers and a no 10 with no natural dm. I think we can alll agree that’s not balanced with/without hindsight
@DarylJeannetti It’s also clear the Liverpool players don’t see him in the same light as Gerrard who has been much more supportive of Liverpools players in the last 10 years.
Look at how quick he was to attack konate whenever he made a mistake even when he was excellent in 24-25
@DarylJeannetti Carragher is a good analysit but he can be harsh on Liverpool players - where was the criticism of Cole palmer the last 18months after he proclaimed him the best player in the league while salah was getting nearly 50 G/A?
@Saddleworth805@dlmjnk Agreed, although given the way we have operated in transfer market during last 3 summer windows (buying the wrong player profile when we spend, not spending in other windows) I don’t think it would take a lot to have an upgrade
