I agree Grealish is massively overhyped but that's a media thing, he's a very good player who could go to the next level in City's team. Sancho is class.
If your point is that you wouldn't move for either at the sort of prices quoted £80m+ then I get your point. But if you think neither of them would improve a squad that contains the likes of Keita, Ox, Milner, Minamino, Shaq Origi in similar positions then I'm very confused.
You also have to factor in ages. Sancho is 21 and had already proven himself at the top level, of our attackers Jota is the only one I'd expect to still be starting for us in 2 years so at some point we are going to have to sign new players.
BREAKING: Sergio Ramos is learning English so he can reject Tottenham.
JJ, what about Steve Heighway?. Cracking winger in my opinion who never gets the adulation he deserved (although immortalized in 'Fields of Anfield Road' 🙂); look at his honours list:
Football League First Division (4): 1972–73, 1975–76, 1976–77, 1978–79
FA Cup (1): 1973–74
League Cup (1): 1980–81
FA Charity Shield (4): 1974, 1976, 1977 (shared), 1979
European Cup (2): 1976–77, 1977–78
UEFA Cup (2): 1972–73, 1975–76
UEFA Super Cup (1): 1977
This has nothing to do with transfer rumours but I've got to point out your omission!
I hope we get the closest thing in the league to a prime James Milner straight from Villa this time.
I wanted the original when he was at Newcastle and linked under Rafa.
£20m good, definately but £50m good?
McGinn is alright.
Hahahaha
It'll be Nohaus.
Klopp before pre season:
- We have 8 players back from long term injuries, it's like 8 new signings...
Fine player right enough, mate, and I'm grateful for the reminder, but (a) not in Digger's class, not for me anyway, and (b) played in the centre more and more as the years went by. There seemed to be a view that his pace would trouble defences from that position, but I thought playing him there blunted his edge a bit. IMO there are echoes of that situation nowadays with Salah, who never looks as dangerous to me when we play him down the middle.
Apparently City offering 100mil for Kane. Options to include players in the deal, though I can't see any of the players wanting to take that step down.
Spurs, if they want to be competitive next year, should push for 90 million + Sterling.

Yup it’s fucking tragic init.
Absolutely. If Tottenham could get him and £100 mill.they ought to go for it, given that the Mighty Mouthbreather wants away and won't be at his best for them. If they can get one of the other two thrown in, it'd be a no brainer.
So according to Echo, we aren't actively looking to sell the fringe attacking players and even if we do sell them we aren't looking to bring in reinforcements. Ox considered for no. 10 and wide roles. 😕

Liverpool have a number of players fans would not be surprised to see leave the club this summer.
Following word the Reds are willing to sanction a permanent exit for Neco Williams should the Wales international wish to leave, the defender’s name joins a list that includes the likes of Xherdan Shaqiri, Divock Origi and Harry Wilson.
Last summer, Liverpool were open to offers for all three players and when suitable offers were not forthcoming, the Welshman was allowed to leave on loan as the Switzerland and Belgium internationals provided cover at Anfield.
When it comes to the trio this summer, the Reds’ stance has not changed.
There is again significant interest in their services, which is likely to only increase for Shaqiri following his impressive showings at Euro 2020, but Liverpool are not willing to sell any of them on the cheap.
Jurgen Klopp would only sanction an exit for any of the trio if they pushed to leave the club rather than the Reds forcing them through the exit door.
If they wish to stay, they will remain part of the Liverpool first team squad, as was the case for Shaqiri and Origi last season.
If they wish to leave, they would only be allowed to depart for their market value.
However, if the Reds did sell any of the trio, club insiders admit it is unlikely that a replacement would be sought despite links with the likes of Patson Daka, Raphinha and Donyell Malen.
There had been frequent speculation that Liverpool would look to recruit a new forward this summer, especially given that Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane are set to compete in the Africa Cup of Nations in January.
However, the duo are likely to only miss two Premier League matches as a result and club sources insist that Liverpool currently have no plans and no intention to recruit any attacking players in this window or in the foreseeable future.
The ECHO understands that Klopp and his coaching team are extremely happy with the attacking options they have at their disposal, having already found it a challenge to give all players sufficient game time last season.
After all, Shaqiri was handed five Premier League starts last season while Origi, along with Takumi Minamino and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, registered just two.
Salah, Mane and Roberto Firmino have been the Reds’ undisputed front three in recent seasons and there is no sign of any of them departing this summer, while Diogo Jota became the first player to stake a genuine claim to break up the trio when shining during his maiden season at Anfield last year.
Meanwhile, the likes of Minamino and Harvey Elliott were allowed to depart on loan, alongside Wilson, in search of regular game time.
The duo will return to the AXA Training Centre in Kirkby for pre-season training next month, with the ECHO already reporting that Minamino remains a part of Klopp’s plans.
After shining on loan at Blackburn Rovers, Liverpool retain high hopes for Elliott and it is believed they expect him to come back to the club ready to be a contributing squad player next season.
The Reds’ attacking ranks will also be boosted by the availability of Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita following injury-plagued campaigns.
And it is the presence of the England international at Anfield which could help explain why Liverpool currently have no intention to strengthen their hand even if any of Shaqiri, Origi or Wilson move on.
Having predominantly been used in central-midfield during his Reds career so far, Oxlade-Chamberlain has impressed Liverpool coaches in training when operating further up the pitch, and will be considered for the number 10 and wide forward roles next season.
Therefore, currently boasting more than two players for each position in the Reds' traditional front three, Liverpool are not expected to look to replace any departing squad options in attack with Klopp believed to be perfectly happy to head into the new campaign with the players he already has at his disposal.

That's fairly depressing.
Carragher was suggesting Ox as backup to Trent, yesterday
Colour me shocked.
Burnley have a love for splashing on defenders. 😛They signed Ben Gibson for record-transfer fee of £15m 3 seasons ago.
I hope that colour wasn’t on your face and doesn’t get you cancelled like those Always Sunny in Philadelphia episodes.
