Id love martinelli, but he doesn't seem the most robust. Rather not spend stupid money on someone who would probably miss half the season

They're the right quality but the only remotely realistic prospect we'd have of getting either one would be if they had a release clause we were willing to meet. Otherwise I don't see a snowflake in Hades' chance that the Arse would allow them to come to us.
Same as my view on Martinelli. I'd love him, but he's made of nik naks
I wouldn’t want him regardless of his awful injury record. He’s a good player, but I think his time at Chelsea has proven he’s just below top class.
I think at chelsea he's not really had a consistent run of games/fitness to show how devastating he could be. The year we won the title, the game at anfield, he came on and he terrified our defenders, same as Sane used to
I’m not so sure, specifically about Martinelli. He’s not been anywhere near as integral (so far) to their first team as Saka and with two years left on his contract - and their awful recent record around contract mistakes - if he makes clear he’d want to come I can see something happening.
Arteta is a pragmatist, I think, and he’s plenty of squad rebuilding to come. 40m for a mostly bench player under Arteta might just prove agreeable.
Fair enough, he’s dangerous for sure. But the two finals against us this year somewhat cemented him as a nearly man in my eyes, not putting away some pretty good chances when the pressure was on.
I wouldn’t be complaining about signing him (and Klopp obviously rates him so that’s a huge plus) but for 60m odd I think we could do a lot better.
Unless Pulisic has had a change of heart in recent years I don't see him as a realistic target. We were interested in him back in the day but he made it pretty clear that he didn't return our interest. There was some talk that he was a United fan and was holding out for a move there, so that might be on.
I like Martinelli. but he in the Jota mould, with a bit more dribbling skills.
Saka however, more the creator and left-footed would be welcome, but near on impossible I'd think.
Too expensive, too injury prone.
Rather sign Zyiech if I had to chose. Havertz the pipe dream.
Didn't you just say "never"? 😛
Yep this was evident during our title-winning season. We had a great season but there were LOADS of games where we clenched and maybe deserved to draw or lose even but we got through. I think that was the period we were winning games 1-0 /2-1. We faced trouble because we couldn't break down the park the bus team like City seem to be able to do with ease, we seem to make it look like hard work. Admittedly this season we have been better at that but still behind City in this area.
I felt for a long time that if we could get that KDB /Bernardo Silva type player to operate in that midfield that we would be a truly 'complete' team...for all the record-breaking stats that we have achieved my OCD won't let me class this team as 'complete' in that sense.
Hopefully the Kaiser is on hols drinking beer, eating sausages and listening to heavy metal.
When he comes back either they sign extension or are sold.
IMHO, a RB, a CM/DM, RW/RM and CF
If I had to give names
Spence, Mohammed Camara, Brennan Johnson, Ivan Toney and Benjamin Sesko as Div replacement.
I'd prefer Nunez over Toney but Nunez could cost €100m.
I'm going for rough gems over polished finished stone gems

Let’s sign Benjamin Sesko and made him captain at the very end of his third season.
I still think Darwin Nunez looks by far the best option so far.
I'd like Gnabry as a Salah replacement as well, but we don't need one for another year.
Other than him I'm not that taken with any of the options tbh. Saka is great but would cost about £150m. Bowen is decent but will be stupid expensive now. A lot of the others named are too injury prone.
I'd almost just rather wait and see if Carvalho does well next season.

False 9, maybe. I have reservations over his finishing and passing ability however. As an outright 9? Not for me
I'm not convinced either. Replacing Mane will be pretty difficult. I can't really think of many good candidates we could get this summer
This is what worries me. Klopp has always been a "buy the right player, not the right now player". I can see us going in to the season light up top
I think we'll buy a centre mid (probably one who can play DM), then next year buy bellingham. This should sort our centre mid issues for a decade.
If we can get gnabry in this season, in prep for mo going next year, then thats smart business.
I would like us to get another attacker this year. Ideally gnabry and another, but i don't know. Perhaps we'll go for a random one like cody gakpo. Can't see it though.
.It'll end up being bowen and thats it

When the chips were down it's not like mo has pulled us out the fire a lot.
Perhaps because he's a cunt in the Richarlison mould we want him. Give Robbo some company as being the teams cunt.
The same Mo that has been our top scorer for 4 seasons straight while winning every club trophy available? I am not sure how respond to that.
Telling me the goals he's scored in finals will suffice, or games where we're trailing
