Transfer Policy & Summer 2025

I'm thinking of trying something new this summer. I'm thinking that I'll take a break from the forum and avoid all things football related on the net and just log back on in August to see how our squad looks.
If Nunez is still in it, I'll log off again.
You know it'll be dominated by BB & Bino suggesting we buy 30 players and Moran - the later hating anything and everything about life !
 
Can see it being a summer of "Liverpool have been put off by the price tag". The calibre of players we need and about to explode will cost a pretty penny
 
Another thing to bear in mind is that there will be a number of clubs looking to strengthen in the areas we are. Arsenal are after a striker, City will be after a LB. Both will be willing to spend more than us, so we need to make sure we have signings lined up
 
I think Slot had made his mind up about this squad in Nov/December, which is partly why we have seen such little rotation. I would speculate that Hughes, and the recruitment team, have had plenty of advance notice on areas he feels we need to strengthen. Ideally we will be in a position where we make a few Mac Allister style transfers where the deal was all be signed months in advance and nobody else stood much of a chance. Release clauses obviously help that, but getting in early and starting the sales pitch well in advance of the window is always going to make a player both wanted and important. If Wolands source is right and Hughes has been working all hours then it's a welcome sign that there are plenty of plans in motion.

Why the fuck do city need an LB ? - did they not sign Gvardiol for that purpose ? - that's where he plays right.

what @Woland ? - you got source ? - share please with fellow Curtis appreciation person here... please @Woland
 
This is the sort of silly shit we should not be involved in. I still remember the transfer record we broke when signing Stan Collymore. I am telling you fuckers - us going expensive on strikers has never worked, they have to be reasonably priced.
I don't want to be involved in 2 month saga chasing a player we won't get and not address our other weak chinks. I can imagine our first game against Everton they take him out for the whole season

Yeah, there were a couple of quotes from Arne back then suggesting that they have been busy on summer recruitment.

I guess there must have been some contingency planning going on in case Trent, Mo and VVD left but by now they will have their priorities lined up.

We all think it's about transfer fees and obsess on net spend blah blah yet wages are just as big a deal. So now the club know TAA is going as a high earner and Mo and VVD are staying, they can budget accordingly.
