Summer transfers continued.

Just stop effing about over a couple of million and bring him in. Konate’s head has gone, he’s been terrible, we can’t rely on him going forward. Why the hell would we screw this season by waiting to get him on a free? He’s needed now.

Exactly.. Just get him now and relegate Konate to the bench.

Yea but every little helps. We are broke - can’t risk £5m even if it is crucial to a title defence

[Insidious]

£40m for an England defender is a snip. Risk losing out for the sake of being tight when we’ve just got that fee for Jarell is crazy.

Get what you're saying and if I were in control, part of me would be very tempted to just pay it.

Flip side, I can see merits in us being consistent about saying what we mean and meaning what we say on regards to transfers, so as not to be a club that is easily fleeced in future a la Man United.

Dismissing a "£5m is nothing" stance could hypothetically mean getting him for £20m in January and suddenly there's £15m towards the next player £45m acquisition - and so on and so forth.

Where I'd be more inclined towards wiggle-room is when we try to SELL players. Us having £15m valuations of Nat Phillips and Ox when we received £12.5m offers and our refusal meant that instead of getting £25m in the kitty for players we wanted rid of, we got nothing - hindsight is a wonderful thing but we really ought to have taken the money there in my eyes.

And that’s fair enough if he’s guaranteed to come to us, but he isn’t.

Who’s to say City, Madrid etc won’t need a new CB in Jan and offer Palace the £40m they were after in this window.

We are relying on a player in Konate who doesn’t seem to be fully focused yet and a utility player in Gomez who’s hardly ever fit.

I wouldn’t want to throw an inexperienced 18 year old into a large number of games or have to reply on the likes of Endo for long periods.

Completely understand your apprehensions.

Equally, whilst it's plausible that another side could come in for him, Guehi may well "only want" Liverpool - we just don't know.

Less than 48 hours from now we will know more so it's going to have to be another play-through of Metal Gear Solid or Final Fantasy VII for me rather than refreshing Google searches about Guehi and Isak - hopefully good news ahead.

Excited to see Leoni's first performance in a red shirt as well when it comes.

Can you imagine we started him?

Would be ballsy. I'm all for it like, but it would be seriously ballsy.

[sydenham red]

Leoni and Guehi are the future first choice CB pairing. How soon that happens depends on the drop off timeline of VVD. Gomez may still be around in 3yrs to cover but virg and konate wont.

[miller0863]

Villa in for Paqueta, does this mean our links to Morgan Rogers to replace Harvey are real??

Jeez I would love him to come to Liverpool

You can't say that about Leoni yet....

How many young CB's have we had, we all thought would be first choice by now, and yet playing in league 2 or lower now?

I hope so, though.

Agree here we go again get it done

We've still got Elliot you can sell FSG... not many more though, we're running out of players !

Has tski gone now? last I heard about a loan? Which i don't see the point might aswell get a few mill for him...

really don't understand loaning a 29 year old out, or anyone that's not youth, unless a bad injury has happened- take the money instead even if it's a little cheaper... he's going to be 30 next year and we won't get any more for him...

Unusual one for sure. I'm not sure if anyone actually placed a serious bid for him though? If they did then taking the money would be the logical choice.

It's likely Robertson's last season at the club. I wonder if we are content enough with the idea of Tsimikas getting more minutes at Roma than he would with us so that next Summer we either command a higher fee for him from clubs that are seeing him week-in, week-out OR Tsimikas comes back into the fold for next pre-season so we can assess if we are happy with him as our depth/cover rather than having to go out and buy another left-back when other positions may be priority by then.

Don't really see us extending Robbo - I think we'll see most if not all of Klopp's core playing group (Robertson, Alisson, Van Dijk, Salah) having departed by the time we are entering the 2027/28 season with someone like Mac Allister being closer to the Captaincy.

[justme]

Regarding Guehi, i think he'll play his last game for Palace today and sign tomorrow. Unsure about Isak..
