If Benteke is sold (along with Lucas who is apparently off tomorrow in all likelihood) then that'll be 33-35 million quid to play with, it would be folly not to spend a decent part of that on a left back and maybe an ankle biter who we have never even heard of from east Europe.

Readers will be thrilled to learn I'll be doing a loan watch for the season - but as there is a game for one not until tomorrow (Lloyd Jones at Swindon) I'll update then

All good old Jay Spearing.

That may be more the elderly though.

Watching football years on sky1 there and it's Rodgers first season. What a horrendous start that was!

Sissoko will shirley move before the wondow closes.
If Lucas, Benteke and Balotelli are sold then he could be a great addiction.

Feck that!

I dont see how we need another midfielder anyhow. We need another LB and RB.

Francie Barrett

I can see us not bothering with a striker. Left back definitely needs looking at.

Watching it now. "Raheem Sterling became the second youngest player to score for Liverpool, after Michael Owen". The little dope.

Agreed but it's all very casual on campus when it's vacation time. Also it's Cologne as well where they seem to care even less about these things...Frankfurt on the other hand.

LB loan deal would be good?
What LB is not getting a game because a superstar LB plays week in week out. Can imagine there are quite a few at big clubs in Europe.

Should really be getting a testimonial

He can have one next year.

Liverpool's first home game will be against Leicester City on Sept 10th, a teatime KO.

If the side get a home tie in the 2nd round of the League Cup then the away side shall host it and be compensated as appropriate.

Your loan watch reports are the only reason I still follow this thread.

Have it on too.

Suarez second goal of his hat trick against Norwich just epitomised what his game was about.

Enrique with the legendary pass for Suarez to level against Newcastle .

No sign of Borinis movement yet and still in the bottom half of the table in December.

BorneTobyWilde

Jordan Amavi got injured after a move to Villa. Played no part in their relegation. He was suppose to be a great left back. Is he fit again.
Could be a cheap option.

Yeh, I love it too! I like to keep up with the youth teams and loans, and this season more than most with quality players like Brannagan, Kent and Ward (even Flanno).

He's been mentioned a lot. Not sure we ever showed an interest, and not sure he's enough of an upgrade on Moreno. Would rather we went for a real upgrade.

Klopp suggested that we are definitely not done, and with Milner's injury and Flanno's loan, I wouldn't be surprised if it was someone who could cover both FBs, like Clyne can...

Do people reckon grujic is an upgrade on Lucas on current ability/development?

I never thought Lucas was good enough for where we want to be but there was bi annual uproar in here at Lucas leaving rumours.

Grujic is a quite different player, but 1000% yes, an improvement. He has the ability to form a really good partnership with Can, or even a trio with Wijnaldum or Hendo. Very skillful for a big man, has already shown he can finish, and a monster!

I really don't know how you can say that based on a handful of training matches.

I think Stewart is going to take Lucas's minutes and I'm ok with that. Grujic is a different type of player and I see a lot of positivity in his game but not sure he was brought in to replace Lucas, I'd say he's taking Allens minutes.

It will be sad to see Lucas go, a lot of experience leaves with him and we lack that but he's not the player he was and I understand the reason to move him on.

Daft. He scored in a few friendlies, was beasted by Cahill for Chelsea's goal in one of them, and he's a 1000%an improvement?
Jesus, Lucas never fully got the credit he deserved at any stage of his career but he's been a wonderfully loyal and, for two or three seasons, a really excellent shield in our midfield.
Grujic may well turn out to be a decent signing but let's see where he's at after 12 games rather than giving him young Player of the Year already.

...... presumably Dickerty watched grujic last season chaps. The reason I asked was because I've only seen him in our pre season games.

I'm not sure Stewart has a run of PL games in him at the moment if Can or Henderson are injured. Looks decent but only a cup option IMO currently.

Regardless, the PL is a different beast entirely as he's about to find out.

Sell Benteke & Lucas. Then put the money on the table for Ricardo Rodriguez & see will they accept plus does he want to play for us with no European football. He wouldn't need massive wages & definite upgrade on Moreno.

If not, good left back's don't grow on trees. Amavi could be a cheap option & low risk. I wonder would an offer for Juan Bernat from Bayern go anywhere.

Vicxas

Surely when we sell Benteke we'll go look for a LB.

And a good one I hope. Has Chilwell signed a new deal at Leicester?

I'd start Stewart over Lucas as of now given the choice. He has everything Lucas has bar experience. Massively impressed with how he's performed.

I've always liked Lucas and again just like Benteke have no real issue with them staying around if there is no buyer but I doubt he'll get the minutes next season.

Why would you go to the trouble of putting that in the Liverpool thread? Why not post it up in the Utd thread and look for a genuine discussion or even as a bit of a joke. Posting it in here is just looking for a bunch of virtual high fives.
It all just seems so childish really.

It puts comments by a rival manager that clearly relate to our club and manager in their proper context.

Neither rocket science nor heart surgery on a small child.

I presume you are constantly pulling people up on the utd thread for similar type comments about all things Liverpool related.

I agree, it's far, far to early to be talking about Grujic. Until he plays at least 10 Premier League games and has lumps knocked out of him at some point, he could be anything.

Yeah, yeah, I know it's in German but Dahoud has a 10million release clause next summer so there is a strong possibility he will be sold this summer or Borussia Monchengladbach will face a possible 20m euro loss.

Vicxas

Could be worth going in for him.

The trouble of posting a link?

Seeing as he just spent a fortune and a year ago he says that clubs (liverpool included) were buying the league is funny. I doubt United fans in their thread would appreciate it, they are very defensive when it comes to Jose these days.

Is that saying 10m for Dahoud? Would imagine you can more than double that before Gladbach would flinch.

Also, more rumours about Klopp wanting Leandro Paredes.

They already turned down a big offer from us though? I know it was only rumours but 20m+ was being mentioned?

I thought the general consensus was that Monchengladbach were okay with the 10m loss because they don't want to lose Xhaka, Nordveidt and Dahoud in one summer?

I don't see him moving this summer - to us or anyone else. January or next summer, maybe.

Have you seen him play by any chance? He is highly rated but I dont really see why......then again I'm not a scout or anything :pac:

If this was FM2016 and I really wanted him I'd finalise a deal and loan him back for the season........win/win.....:D

Did he save the link in his favourites a year ago hoping for something like this going forward? Some sort of photographic memory?
I'd understand posting it in the Utd thread, the humour thread or even creating a new thread and discussing managerial hypocrisy. Instead though he hides it in here to get a few sniggers and imo just seems so small time. Like look at us we're still relevant, our manager is better than theirs.
I don't know, maybe it's just me?:)
