In my life, I could have never been ready for this.

@SimonBrundish Si, it’s brutal. Had an opportunity to get tickets before the draw (with steep price, mind you). The location Kansas City (excited to go) and had a 75% chance to get Netherlands, Argentina or Germany. So was thrilled. I got Ecuador v. Curaçao on a Saturday night lol

@Coop292 @RobGutmann @Sean_Rogers Let’s say it’s a 200m budget. For arguments sake. Move out the huge wages shifted (Mo, Robbo, Ibou) and then Chiesa’s 150k. Chiesa, Endo, Elliott, Mac Allister (assumption) gets you around another 90-100m plus some of the kids. Based on my 7 shout thats 350m on transfrmrkt.

[JM @ThisMerv]

@RobGutmann agree on outgoings. Diamonde, Barcola, Ferran Torres, Wharton, Camara, Marc Pubill and Pedro Porro; 3 FWD, 2 MF, 2 DEF. @Sean_Rogers Pubill shout is phenomenal. Schlotterbeck as well. Those are the 2 defenders I’m into unless Zabarnyi or Huijsen get back on market.

[Robert G @RobGutmann]

LFC should target 2 elite wingers and a really good centre forward. Sell Gakpo to fund better quality. Count Wirtz as a front 3 option, but as a consequence add another midfielder.

Additionally, sell MacAllister and add a further very physical midfielder who can play as a 6.

Buy a first choice right back , and add a very tall physical premier league centre back.

Retain Jones and everyone else . Bar Endo and Chiesa.

So …

3 forwards
2 midfielders
2 defenders

[JM @ThisMerv]

@Coop292 @RobGutmann @Sean_Rogers Current:
3 FWD, 5 MF, 6 DEF… we need 6, 6 and 8 at minimum. The club have 3 players that left on frees, had not replaced Diaz and have 2 starters out for the year potentially. The new manager’s system requires bodies. We will have to add 6 as a minimum.

[JM @ThisMerv]

@Knox_Harrington 2 of Barcola, Diamonde and Minteh + Ferran Torres is a dynamite summer. That’d be everything we need. Ezzalzouli, Schade, and El Mala as the back up options gives us a healthy list to pick from. Genuinely believe this to be doable and agree that Gakpo stays. Unless a big offer!

[Neil Atkinson @Knox_Harrington]

Wide option could be someone like Minteh. Maybe Barcola if he would play off the right and the fee wouldn't be mad.

That leaves you with five forwards before Rio and Ekitike; Gakpo to go next summer and another season of helping Ngumoha grow to take his place.

Donald Trump was president for each of these crashes!

[Team Ossoff @TeamOssoff]

Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.

Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.

All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

[Neil Atkinson @Knox_Harrington]

If it was me for LFC I'd be after Nico Williams and then either Diomande or El Mala because I don't know if you want to try and integrate two Bundesliga teenagers as well as Rio. If Diomande then you need a CF option (maybe Mateta), if El Mala you need a wide option.
