@SeanDOlfc @Abootynational Also recovery period for me as a decently high level athlete same age is 9 months, so the reports of him being back by Christmas might actually be accurate because he got injured in March, so that also depends on how much they take their time with him, which I would think theywil

[The Anfield Chalkboard @FieldChalkboard]

@SeanDOlfc @Abootynational I’m currently gng through a Achilles tendon tear, its still a very bad injury, I’d say worse than an ACL tear, but coz he’s young and with the people surrounding him he could come back as good as new, depends on recovery and how well he responds really

Revisit in January when Minteh is fit or Rayan clause is able to be activated #LFC

[The Anfield Chalkboard @FieldChalkboard]

I actually don’t think the business we did this summer has been bad… would have been happier with a CDM too but it’s #LFC. Would have also loved a rb but I can understand Liverpool not expecting Frimpong to be this bad. Do think keeping gakpo over getting sarr is a better choice

[The Anfield Chalkboard @FieldChalkboard]

Seems like Al Hilal finally let Hughes work for Liverpool today… #LFC

[The Anfield Chalkboard @FieldChalkboard]

I think Manu Kone for €50m would be great business. Very much a Wijnaldum profile that we need.

[The Anfield Chalkboard @FieldChalkboard]

@Tristan_T_I Id also love Schade, but dont see Brentford selling

[The Anfield Chalkboard @FieldChalkboard]

@LFCApproved I get the anger from everyone but isn’t upgrading a squad selling a player who isn’t good enough for a player that they think is better? #LFC

[The Anfield Chalkboard @FieldChalkboard]

Having said that, I know he’s played well these past 2 games, but we cannot act as if Cody Gakpo is worth 100m euros and expect Liverpool to say no to that… just hope there is a RW that I can’t think of rn that would be a good replacement #LFC

[The Anfield Chalkboard @FieldChalkboard]

Reserving my thoughts for when gakpo is officially gone and we hopefully get a replacement through the door before that #LFC

[The Anfield Chalkboard @FieldChalkboard]

Only way I would accept sarr is if it was 50m (which we know it will be more) and it’s a stopgap and we go big for an olise level player.

[The Anfield Chalkboard @FieldChalkboard]

If we sell gakpo for sarr I take back everything I said abiut the Liverpool hierarchy knowing what they’re dng,.

[The Anfield Chalkboard @FieldChalkboard]

Going forward I rly like the Gravenberch/Nyoni double pivot, think it does have a bit of everything you would want, or what you would want from what we have… but has to be a reason behind Nyoni not starting? Is it because he’s weak or because Iraola a bit scared to drop players?

[The Anfield Chalkboard @FieldChalkboard]

And the goat @indykaila

[The Anfield Chalkboard @FieldChalkboard]

These ITKs and less ‘clout’ journalists have no idea what #LFC are up to, I go as far as to say don’t believe anything besides what Fabrizio Romano and Ornstein are saying, reading anything else is just a waste of energy and time

[The Anfield Chalkboard @FieldChalkboard]

As fans we do really need to be realistic and accept we aren’t going to be good enough to challenge until this squad is rebuilt, how long it takes us to get there really depends on the ability of the owners to put the right ppl in place

[The Anfield Chalkboard @FieldChalkboard]

Think that would leave us with a squad that could challenge on all fronts, but we will have to replace Alisson and Van dijk next season too…

Do think most of our purchases and our coach will come good, excluding the fullbacks of course

[The Anfield Chalkboard @FieldChalkboard]

Also think we must replace Frimpong and maybe Bradley depending on how he is after that horrific injury, would keep kerkez as a squad player and buy a new lb too…

[The Anfield Chalkboard @FieldChalkboard]

Going forward think our front line is on the level of a premier league winning side, or at least has the potential to be.

More concerned with shipping off Mac allister and buying 2 more defensive 8s/6s when speaking about midfield.

[The Anfield Chalkboard @FieldChalkboard]

Actually don’t think we get anyone else this window unfortunately, gakpo and Munoz right and rio and Barcola left
