Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

Just about to post this, apparently this lad is tier 1 for Argentina player transfers

Very happy with that I must say, get it done early

Systematic intentional neglect and it's well documented. Liverpool had 20% unemployment in the 80s twice of anywhere else. I've read an awful lot up on what thinks we're like there and it was so bleak. Torn apart from riots too

Not sure who exactly benefited from it but there is a reason fûck the Tories is sung loud and clear, Liverpool was left to rot in the 80s, especially after the riot's.

Yup, definitely one of the types of guys we need. I mean, we literally need to fill all 3 midfield roles with a new starter. The biggest priority is probably a 6 (which I guess is the reason for the Ugarte links), but Mac Allister could take the Thiago position.

Let's hope he makes a similar impact to the last McAllister we signed 😂

Being a World Cup winner (and having a great tournament to boot) adds a good few million too.

From what I've read, MacAllister is like a more reliable Nabi Keita. Which is what we need.

We also need another Fabinio/Gini and I'm guessing Ugarte is who we are after there.

And probably a new Henderson which could be Mason Mount? Not sure if their styles match up though.

And a surprise too

If we got the right RB in, I wouldn't mind Trent taking Hendo's place in midfield either. Been really impressed with him - not just his passing, but his dynamism running through midfield, and his interceptions and tracking too.

We really should have moved TAA into midfield replacing Hendo last Christmas when the league/champions league went, give him 5 months there and then access now if he can be one of the three midfielders we need this summer.

Thought it was a mistake selling Nico Williams last summer, he was a good understudy to TAA and could have filled in nicely this year.

Don't know what the deal is with Ramsay, is he still injured or does Klopp think he's not ready yet?

Caicedo will be more than £100m. They already rejected an £80m bid from arsenal in January.

Williams wanted to leave because he wanted to get regular first team football.

Ramsey is still injured. Something to do with his back and hamstrings and the way he was growing wasn't it. Thing Gerrard had something similar early in his career.

He arrived with an increased risk of a back injury down the line from something to do with his growth alright, so they took a few months to correct that - and then he picked up a separate knee injury that ended the season.

Bad first year alright, though the doctor had some positive things to say about the future at least, saying this bad first year of recoveries should set him up for proper long term fitness going forward - they didn't seem to see these things are being reoccurrence risks. But sure, we'll see!

Yup, makes me think of the 97/98 shirt on Michael Owen. Round white collar, and cuffs. Though yeah, I guess they're all inspired by the 65 shirt.

I love the current shirt we have right now to be honest. Clean and simple, with a nice shade of deep red. Shame it's not been represented by a better season. New one's very nice too though.

I can't see the club triggering the €60M release clause for Ugarte.

Mason Mount is at his best counter pressing in the opposition's half, he would be the Lallana/Oxlade-Chamberlain replacement.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Mount and Mac Allister are the only midfield signings replacing Milner, Keita and Oxlade-Chamberlain. Having two additional fit bodies available would have a major impact on getting a consistent performance from our midfield.

Maitland-Niles confirmed a couple of weeks ago that he's leaving Arsenal at the end of the season. He possesses the physical attributes to be a success in Klopp's midfield. He's also the kind of utility player that our squad is missing and another homegrown player.

Yeah a new no. 6 of quality is required. Would probably rather take a gamble on Lavia if Ugarte is going for 60m. Was he at city in time to fill one the homegrown quota in a couple of years.

Bajcetic can play in the Europa league and cups so he should get a decent bit of game time and be an understudy. I wonder if the Europa convince Kellher to stay one more year as he will more than likely play up until the quarters/semi's? Although for his sake he should be moving on.

Surely Mount is really going for 50m in the last year of his contract. Will remind me of the 40m was spent on ox when he was in the final year too.

I really don't think Klopp will want another top level 6 for a few reasons.

1. He'll back Fabinho to get his form back.

2. The tactical change now puts Trent beside him. Trent has been really showing great defense abilities from that position.

3. Bajcetic was spectacular this season. He won't want to block his progress.

It's all relative.

He stepped up when the midfield around him was atrocious and looked good by comparison. Results overall were not acceptable during that period IIRC.

Ultimately if he was a starter next season, or even our first/second sub for the midfield three, then I think we would be in trouble in terms of where we want to be.

Two new midfielders (starting quality).

Fabinho

Thiago

Hendo

Bajatic

That might be enough.

Tyler Morton coming back after a decent stint at Blackburn, probably will take one of the 2nd tier cm positions for next year. HG as well.

So according to some reports(could be bull). Bellingham wanted to come to Liverpool for a few years before eventually moving on to Real. Those plans were scuppered when we couldn't afford him. IF true I for one am glad we are not getting him

They sold Trossard to Arsenal for £27M in January so they already had a pot of money.

That's a light midfield for cover if we're expecting Trent to still roam free today.

What anthem? Fair play to the crowd.
