Summer transfers

[Steveo]

Wonderful succession planning.. Almost as though they haven't a clue what they are doing.

Regrding the HG situation, it's going to be incredibly difficult next season. Especially if Jones and/or Jomez decide to move on. The youngsters dont count towards it so it's likely that we wont be able to fill out a full squad of senior players.

Will likely leave us with just Frimpong and Bradley as the only HG players we have, maybe with Woodman as a 3rd. This definitely needs looking at.

Yeah we are definitely a little tight in this area at the moment.

This season we registered 7 I think -

Gomez
Curtis
Bradley
Frimpong
Freddie Woodman
Rhys Williams I think was registered (?)
Fabian Mrozek - he's a young keeper.

This is part of why I think we will be keeping Gomez.

Interesting to see what happens if Slot isn't still the manager next season as Harvey would be an obvious squad player to keep hold of if someone else is in charge (though I think it will be Slot) and then there are certain players I think may get more of a role (Endo barely used, Nyoni may cover those minutes?) and I would not be shocked if we see Quansah return to the club at some point - I still think that £35m sale (£60m option to buy back) was essentially considered as paying a £25m fee to have him develop over a 2-season spell, though we will see what the future holds on that score.

I'd really be wanting more goals from Gordon if he came here.

He has 6 League goals this year and last - managed 11 the year before those two which I think got people excited about his ceiling - but he isn't quite pulling up the trees we'd hope for.

He'd be tenacious in the press which would be welcome and he's quick - but I'd really be hoping there's someone "better" available - though the Home-grown aspect would be good.

Have to agree but will be a improvement on gapko and may improve at liverpool

(No Chelsea players out of contact until 2034 lol)

Harry Wilson would be a useful backup. Currently better than Chiesa, free, wages wouldn't be mental and he classifies as home HG. No brainer for me.

[Daffydd]

Yeah, he's going to have lots of offers

[RedMagic]

Would Harry Wilson really want to not only come back to a club that let him go, but one currently run and managed by the incompetent lot that we currently have in place?

You could take a similar line with any hopes of signing Anthony Gordon.

At least Wilson still supports Liverpool

(or at least that's what he told Everton when linked to them lol)

More and more talk that slot to be liverpool manager start next season.
If so we have to make the 2 man midfield work,ive said all season macallistair is to slow to be a 6 and is a victim of the formation and looks like will be sold,ive also questioned why szobo not used as a 6 but that has changed in recent games and we need to find the right partner for him.

[RedMagic]

We need a top drawer DM. Going by all the noise surrounding what resources we, or more unfortunately Slot/Edwards/Hughes will have to play with, we're going to struggle with getting in half decent squad fillers, never mind top quality players for key positions i.e. the DM, CB and RW positions.

I still foresee distinct possibilities of a back three or doing a 4-1-2-1-2 (Diamond) given our profile.

Watching it all unfold will be.....interesting.

Jones
Bradley
Frimpong
Gomez
Woodman
Elliott
*Wharton
*Wilson

Add Wharton & Wilson and you have 8 with Elliott back from loan at Villa.

Is "interesting" slang for "like being flayed and then having salt rubbed into the wounds"?

Why would we struggle to attract players? We're Liverpool FC, the only team winning things worth talking about in a league (the PL) compromised by 115 FC....
We're the current PL champions, and we've been in 3 CL finals these last 7 years.
Plenty of big teams have crappy seasons, but our pedigree is there. We're one of the top 5 or 6 destinations in world football...

If a top player has a choice between joining say Man City, Bayern Munich, PSG, or a London club that are going to pay them a ton of money, why would a top player who isn't a Liverpool fan join a club who have fallen off a cliff and don't look like climbing back up it any time soon, have a load of their star players leaving or coming towards the end of their careers, and are managed by someone who looks out of their depth, is draining the life out of the players, and has openly admitted that there won't be a ton of money to spend on other quality players?

They would at the very least have some understandable reservations. Yes our name still has some pull on its own, but that only lasts for so long. The recent achievements you mentioned were whether people want to admit it or not down to Klopp and his legacy. Sadly he is no longer here. Whereas Klopp could turn water into wine, Slot seems to be turning wine into piss.
