@AnfieldEdition @DKingTelegraph Sorry - who out of Frimpong, Kerkez and Konate aren’t fast? I’d say pace was a main attribute of all 3 of them.

Unless he was talking about benching Van Dijk for Van De Ven…

[Andy Fagan @Andyfagan]

@AnfieldKnow Shlotterbeck is a left sided centre half and has injury issues

Bowen and Dumfries both the wrong side of 30 and neither solve the issue they’d be bought for (pace on the wing, solidity at right back)

[Andy Fagan @Andyfagan]

@ZaanTalksFooty We need a new right back even if the Bradley news isn’t true

Bradley has NEVER demonstrated to us that we can rely on him to start 80% of games for Liverpool.

[Andy Fagan @Andyfagan]

@JiHerhn @QTalksFtbl Yes I do

Because people would have paid us money (or at least not demanded £15m off us) to do exactly the same thing.

[Andy Fagan @Andyfagan]

@JiHerhn @QTalksFtbl This is patent nonsense

David Raya went on loan to Arsenal

Axel Disasi was on loan this season

We loaned Jacquet back to Rennes

Arsenal loaned Saliba to a number of clubs and didn’t have to pay anything…

[Andy Fagan @Andyfagan]

@JiHerhn @QTalksFtbl So to clarify, you think it’s a good deal for us to give Leverkusen £15m for the privilege of not having Quansah, when we could have paid £7m and we could have used him for two years?

Also - we get loan fees all the time for players 😂

[Andy Fagan @Andyfagan]

@Deano871480 @LFCApproved Yes. It would.

[Andy Fagan @Andyfagan]

@QTalksFtbl Of course it’s dreadful

Loads of clubs would have paid us to loan Quansah

Even more would have taken him for free

Why should we pay somebody £15m?

[Andy Fagan @Andyfagan]

@Dax_LFC Yeah mate, all we need is 6 first team signings

Easy.

[Andy Fagan @Andyfagan]

@KM_243_ Joe Gomez is a myth of a footballer at this point

He has demonstrated, repeatedly, that we can’t even rely on him as a squad option because of his propensity to get injured.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

[Andy Fagan @Andyfagan]

@jamesvictorb Except we can make pretty educated guesses based on the club’s published accounts, which details the total wage bill…

[Andy Fagan @Andyfagan]

@BenBocsak @aaryyyo See: Frimpong.

[Andy Fagan @Andyfagan]

@BenBocsak @aaryyyo One of Van Dijk’s best qualities is his durability. Aside from that ACL that Pickford did to him, he’s basically never injured.

I fear what would happen to Schlotterbeck in the PL. He’s already injury prone and we’d be asking him to come to a more physical league and play more.

[Andy Fagan @Andyfagan]

@BenBocsak Just FYI, if we spend £40m on Lacroix and pay him £100k a week (he’d be insane to agree less), it’s the same as us just giving Konate the £250k a week he wanted over 5 years.

And that assumes we don’t give Lacroix a pay rise at any point.

[Andy Fagan @Andyfagan]

@ZaanTalksFooty I doubt that the lad who’s been at Villa for 7 years, starts every week for them and has just got into the CL with them would want to swap that for a couple of seasons on the bench for a side they finished above last year.

Not unless we offered him (and Villa) a fortune…

[Andy Fagan @Andyfagan]

@Deano871480 @LFCApproved You’re right

We were completely powerless.

Maybe we should fix the reason why they all want to leave instead.

[Andy Fagan @Andyfagan]

@pragmaticoliver @ATLiverpool_ Lol ok mate.

He isn’t.

[Andy Fagan @Andyfagan]

@thatrexguy Perfect replacement?

This guy?

[Andy Fagan @Andyfagan]

@JayLleweIIyn A little bit

A little bit.
