So looks like we'll go for
Lallana
Caulker
Rojo
Konoplyanka
and maybe one or two others. What do we think of that?

Tony Barrett has written that Luis Alberto will be sold this summer. And Aspas. Obviously.
No chance of getting Caulker for £8m, surely.
I'd be a bit gutted if we don't go for Konoplyanka. Would depend on who the alternatives are, though. Someone like Markovic would be great, but Griezmann is mentioned a lot at the moment and I don't quite see the fuss about him.

When was Tony Barrett last right about something?
Supposedly Caulker has £6m release fee, so not sure why 8 would be necessary if he wants to come.
Greizmann is pure quality Peter and his goal scoring is higher than Kono. I'd love both personally but can't see it happening although Kono is in his last yr of his contract so I'm hoping £10m or less, ambitious? Probably.
Hasn't Caulker got a relegation clause? That's what certain reports are saying, guess it depends how much it is? And I believe Spurs also want him back as well, hopefully he'll have seen what a mess they have been this yr

I don't know, he seems like a credible person to me. What are some of the more egregious examples of him being wrong?
£6m would be a bargain. So would £8m, though, so no big deal either way.
I know lots of people rate Griezmann, but personally from the bits I've seen he doesn't look particularly impressive. Excellent goal scoring record, though, clearly.

I don't give a shit who we get - as long as BR gets the team to play like he has this year I really don't care. We are awesome when we go forward and do those 500 passes and have 70% possession. It is just wonderful to watch. I use to love Brazil because they played like that, but I am now more excited about our LFC team now. I want this season to be over so I can seem fuck up the Mancs, Arsenal, Spurs, City and the rest of the shit we have to share the PL with. Oh I really want Chelsea to die next time we come up against them. We did learn from that game, because Palace started doing that park the 2 busses shit and we were 3-0 up. S
Every player in Europe/World should be lining up outside at the clubs gate ..wanting, hoping that they can get in our team. Come here to play football like it should be played.

Yep, that's sounds about right. A CB, FB, CM to compete with Allen and Hendo, winger and a 3rd striker.
So do we bid £6,000,001?
Don't we say this every summer?
Not really true imo.
We have way more room for mistakes than any other team imo. With 6 players, if 3 are class & 3 duds we should still be in a stronger position than anyone bar perhaps city, cos that failure rate applies to Utd Chelsea & Arsenal too, no matter how much cash is spent.
Haha. Yup!
We must sign players who will move us on a level. We've gone brilliantly this season but CL football will make a massive difference and we won't be able to have the consistency we've benefitted from this year.
By no mistakes, if we get 3 out of 6 right, then as long as that 3 are significant improvements then that'll do. However, it depends on the degree of what a successful signing is. E.g. Mignolet would be considered as a success but is he / (will he be) world class.
Hang on, Caulker has a 50% sell on clause AND a relegation release clause at £6m? So the maximum Cardiff can get for him is £3m? After buying him for £8.5m last summer?
What the hell?!
What the hell?!
I'm not really sure. All I know is he was very highly rated at Spurs and then for some reason they decided to sell him last summer having never really given him a chance. It's a bit mysterious.
Personally I'd rather we went and bought a £20m+ defender, the absolute best we could afford, but I suppose at £8m or whatever Caulker seems to make sense too.
