Good!!! Now we hopefully can move on from that topic
Chelsea have been clear that he’s ‘untouchable’…
Don’t blame them, they probably want to get back competing again…..to finish in the top 10.
What Chelsea do with their kids is better left unsaid.
No surprise at all. Anyone who thought we had a sniff needs their head examining.Time to move on
Same with Gvardiol.. all agent talk, giving Man City the hurry up.
Would be disappointing if we didn't get one as Klopp has said he would like one brought in, but don't think it'd be a season definer if we stuck with what we have. Not ideal but we do have 4 senior CB's on our books and that's usually what any one club has at any time.
We need 2 defensive midfielders.
Always feel like we have to wait for players to go out before we do anything. Waited around for 3 weeks because we didn't know what was going on with Hendo and Fab, 3 weeks wasted when we couldn't had our 3rd signing already gelling with the team.

Perfectly logical. You wouldn't go out and hire a new secretary just because your current secretary is considering moving but hasn't given notice. Hendo and Fab were initially not part of the Exodus.
We will wait till he joins RB Leipzig has a good season and then buy him for £65m. That's the Liverpool way don't you know
We knew for 3 weeks they were gonna leave. What more notice do you need?
3 of the 5 companies I've worked at brought someone new in to replace me when I was still there, because I was the one that had to show them how to use all the difference softwares etc.
It can work both ways, we always play the waiting game....just pray it doesn't come back round to bite us on the arse again.
But you would actively be looking for a replacement secretary if she kept getting paperwork wrong consistently and was nearing retirement age.
Clearly different scenario. Makes sense if you know for certain someone is leaving but not if there was any doubt (and there was plenty until there wasn't) and then negotiations (which have clearly been complicated because of their over valuation) obviously take time. We'll get there.
Haha!
Hudson-Odoi should be at the forefront of any young player's mind when considering committing their future to Chelsea after interest from other clubs.
I'd want promises and assurances in blood.
Yeah he should be on the radar
He was never the same after that achilles injury.
Story of my life….
Then FSG would have done the minimum.
Nah. Ox and Keita were deadwood. Milner was used to close out games. If we get Lavia then we effectively have a new starting midfield, plus Jones, Thiago, Badgertits and Elliott. Jones was ace for the last dozen games, and was brilliant for the U21s this summer, and will be pushing for a regular spot with Elliott. Plus obviously Trent taking up a lot of space.
There is a lot of quality in those seven, and a lot of different qualities, too.

Bajcetic might be an unknown quantity, Thiago is dead and we're still not completely sure what Elliott is. I think Jones is proper good but some would say jury's still out. And that's before any potential injuries.
An experienced versatile backup/rotation option (along with Lavia) should be coming in to take over the Milner role. I thought that was going to be Henderson before it was clear he's going for the bag

Not disagreeing with that but at some point, we need to get realistic about the parameters in which FSG operate. We spend money only if we raise money either through sales or wage releases. They are happy to lend money on favorable terms (@Beamrider please correct if I misunderstood this part) on infrastructure improvements but not for players. This coupled with the fact that our transfer team have incredibly rigid valuations which they are not willing to compromise on and occasionally they get infatuated with specific players (as dmish put it) and willing to throw seasons for it, means we need to develop a lot of patience.
Also most likely it means, we are screwed post Klopp.
