@henrywinter I wouldn’t class Bellingham & Rice as “world class”. They are elite, but WC should be reserved for a very select few in any generation.
My criteria is would they get in an all World IX or match day squad (18)
They are in the mix but competition in midfield is high.
Can we get back to signing the odd player 12-18 months earlier with a little bit more risk attached but a much lower transfer fee?
I can’t believe that @LFC didn’t know about him before he was at RBL
🚨 Liverpool are expected to return with an improved offer of around €115M for Yan Diomande. It would be incredible business for RB Leipzig who signed him for around €20M last summer.

@shornKOOMINS In my opinion…there’s a bunch of things that Mane was better than Salah at, he was more versatile, he was a better pressing pest, better in the air than Salah… BUT… none of those things make him a better player
@shornKOOMINS@ChrisMors1@indykaila Have to agree with you. Looks great running at pace but shocking in the part necessary for a PL CB these days - aerial duals. I’m also not interested in VVD being the only CB in recent times we’ve had whose legs aren’t made of Pringles.
No doubt Alex Scott is a very good player, but £80m for a ball-carrying CM that we already have in Gravenberch? Surely #LFC are looking for a different profile in midfield as a priority?
🚨✅ 𝗜𝗡𝗙𝗢: According to @GBSans from @MundoDeportivo, after mutually terminating his contract with Al-Hilal - Darwin Núñez (26) is now an option being assessed by a number of clubs as he’s available on a FREE. Darwin wants to return to Liverpool, while Chelsea, Newcastle, and Barcelona are keeping an eye on him.
@gem_louise23 Purely because they played together.
No consideration appears to be given to style of play, which is wild. Most expect Xabi to stick to his 3-at-the-back, possession-based style at CFC.
That would have gone down like a lead balloon at LFC after Slot's slow game.
@TheAnfieldWrap Some the targets will stay the same, pacey wingers etc, but I think it will be a little while to hear about other likely signings. Does a player like Wharton really fit in a physical, running midfield that Iraola will want? 🤷🏻♂️
@empireofthekop@footballontnt I read something slightly different into his comments.
It felt like, “Yes he’s a good option, but this is LFC, it should attract the biggest names in management”
I think Stevie wants Enrique 😝
