The search for a new DM

[Best Believe It]

This summer?

At least with previous summers we didn't pretend we were going to spend big. Expectation management has been horrendous. Pursuing Bellingham for a year then dropping out; briefing we had loads to spend then saying we would need to sell to buy another midfielders. Going after Caicedo out of nowhere, getting hopes up, then not getting him or the target we had been trying to bring in for a month. Previously we just weren't in for anyone. Now we are but just aren't getting them.

It would be bad enough without Chelsea spending so much and Newcastle's emergence as yet another state-funded club. Pretty soon those two and Man City will be locked in for top three and we'll be lucky to finish 6th. We've managed to screw up a position of strength pretty spectacularly over the last few years.

 

[Farkmaster]

How should they have managed expectations.

Attention useful idiots, we are going to continue not even doing the bare minimum!

 

[Buddha]

Neither do I. Plus, they both started for Real on Saturday. They're not going anywhere.

Not for sale….

Anyone who even mentions "let's go after Tchouameni" should get an instant ban.

This post withstanding of course as I'm just pointing out the stupidity of the suggestion.

I'm looking forward to see who we don't spend the caicedo money on

100% agree - it's like they don't understand we are LIVERPOOL 19xChampions, 6 CL champs - show some fucking dignity !!!!

 

[Fabio]

We need 2 DMs. Go for sangare and Andre I guess.

 

[bluebell]

Random list of players now incoming @bluebell @binomial

I gave names already... so am not adding to it! Cheap young solution would be raid Salzburg.

 

[Shay_K]

Ordinarily I like to join in on the forum but this last week of rumours and bids have really pissed me off.
A bid on a fax machine is worth 5 lumps of bull shite on the floor of a barn.

 

[Woland]

PSV fans think sangare is shit. If he's 25, inconsistent, playing in a crap league, and not exactly standing out, how the hell is he going to sort us out? Notwithstanding his player of the month November 2021 trophy?

Do you not remember how excited everyone got about us signing 3rd choice for PSG Sakho, and how he came and revolutionised our defense.

Fucking hell - Player of the Month in 2021 ? - this makes me want him even more @Woland

 

[King Binny]

All the DMs are getting snapped up

 

[binomial]

Any good DM's from the Saudi league we could take?

 

[HC]

So have we missed out on lavia now too ?

How did the Saudi's have us over a barrel to take fab and hendo so badly that the club couldn't / didn't have the ability to find replacements in a timely manner ?

 

[moron]

All the DMs are getting snapped up

Reading through the responses - I can see that Bayern fans want him, some are saying its about time he went to a big club, and PSV like @Woland are saying:

"Please dont' get him - he is average, you should go for this other guy we got..." - which suggests that maybe just maybe he is a good player and that their fans don't want to lose him.

Oh - and some responses from French dudes, think he has already signed for us or think he is Liverpool bound.

 

[dmishra]

Get Florentino Luis. He'll be better than all of them

 

[Fabio]

Get Florentino Luis. He'll be better than all of them

We won't get anyone

 

[King Binny]

We won't get anyone

Perhaps we need to get mentally prepared

 

[Fabio]

I'm fully prepared.

The backlash will be unlike anything our fandom has seen.

If we don’t get a DM this window, the absolute best we can hope for is top five.

We won't be in Europe, let alone eother of the top 2 European competitions . We'll be fucking 9th

Who out of City, Newcastle, Chelsea, Man Utd and Arsenal will be finishing behind us if we don't sign a DM?

 

[mom]

Dunno. I said best we can hope for not a prediction

 

[tomasjj]

still wondering what we were faffing about with in the beginning of the window with the two french lads

We re still waiting for the under 21's Euros to finish

 

[Squiggles]

It will not happen, but I'd gladly go back in for Thuram and play him at DM for a year or two.

He looks the business to me.

 

[Frogfish]

Well that also ignores that we have both Thiago and Bajcetic, and neither of those are donkeys (somebody just posted Badger's stats vs Lavia, I have to say I was very surprised how close there were). So yes a better, specialist DM is desperately needed but that's to elevate us to PL challengers. We'll still be in the top 4 mix, and favourites for the EL, even without one.

 

[tomasjj]

and when they did finish, we packet up our tent and moved on?

No. It seems a car ran over us.
