Hahahaha.. let the meltdown commence
Liverpool are also admirers of Feyenoord and Turkey midfielder Orkun Kokcu, 22, as an alternative to Mac Allister and England and Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham, 19. (Football Transfers)

Manchester United and Newcastle United have emerged as the likeliest clubs to sign Bayern Munich and Senegal forward Sadio Mane, 31, following a disappointing debut season in Germany. (Mail)
Whatcha think of that? Mane at that filth??

Couldn't care less about cost provided they are good.
Lads like Milner, Trent, Robertson, Jones, Bajcetic have contributed this season in some capacity or other and were all free or (relatively speaking) extremely cheap. It's good fun having a big transfer fee at times but all I am fussed about is their contribution on the pitch.
If we totalled up the number of goals scored at Liverpool by Curtis Jones (I'd guess it's 10 or 11 now in all comps) it probably represents a decent percentage of the total combined tally of Man United goals scored by Antony and Sancho.
Let other clubs "win the transfer window" - individual players and their fees is just noise compared to how well constructed a side is.
(none of this "aimed" at you miller - just using the post as a springboard to a wider point of view)

As if it wasn’t hard enough to compete with the oil clubs when it comes to attracting players, we’re now in the Europa league. We certainly won’t be attracting the elite, and will probably have to pay more for the players that City, PSG, Newcastle etc, don’t want.
I bet you can squeal like a pig!

Outside of England there are plenty of players who see the Europa League as prestigious, as they know the Champion's League is realistically only won by a handful of clubs.
Individual players are also aware that good performances in the Europa can be a stepping stone for their careers, not to mention that some players will have the wit to know that some sides will re-enter the Champion's League sooner rather than later.
I wouldn't stress on it too much. There will be targets out there we will find, whether they are first choice or not. Lest we forget, Salah wasn't our first-choice target for us (Pulisic and Draxler were ahead of him on our list) and he isn't alone on that score - Klopp wanted Gotze here over Mane.
We need to address certain pockets of the squad (midfield particularly) but we still have a top goalie, still have high quality centre-back depth, still have good full-backs and we have 5 different forward options in Diaz, Gakpo, Núñez, Salah, Jota with a healthy age profile.
There is plenty of talent out there and we just need a suitably shaped cog for our Machine. We got great joy out of the likes of Henderson, Milner, Wijnaldum and it's not as if there was a lengthy queue for their signatures - if anything our "top shelf" midfield signings (Thiago's prestigious list of clubs, Keita looked one of the top midfield talents in Europe for his age group) have probably been the ones we've felt slightly let down by, so if we are having our hand forced into "smarter" recruitment because we have less money to spend I'd be cautiously optimistic that we'll find what we need.

I want Veiga most of all of them and a proper DM I'd really like Ugarte, he's like a Mascherano upgrade, equally tenacious and relentless but better positionally and a LOT better with the ball and Gravenberch unquestionably
I think missing out on any of those 3 would be a mistake
It's vital the transfer committee and scouts are involved in making sure we land the very best up and coming mids, because Jurgen's track record on mids absolutely sucks, bar Gini all his very best mids, by a mile, have been the one's who were here before him

I think the issue with midfielders is it's something of a 'romantic' fanciful position, people have these ideals of their dream midfielder rather than break down their best attributes and see how they fit in with what works for us and the rest of our players and has won us major trophies
The dream midfielder isn't necessarily going to be our dream midfielder, in the Premier League, the best players or considered best players most frequently don't make the best team, i think Thiago is a perfect example of this, unquestionably Jurgen's dream midfielder given the God awful mess of things he made trying to make a team of Premier League and Champions League winners fit around him, rather than have him use his abilities to their maximum benefit, and trying to make him the showpiece and focal point rather than the TEAM being the star collectively
Unquestionably a fanatstic player in the team or one of the 2 teams in a 4231 in a 1 or 2 team slower paced perhaps more technical league, if you look at how City's way of playing has changed they gone from overplaying, tappy crappy always trying to pick the lock, highly technical to effectively smashing the door open with a sledgehammer, different shape this season but they've still very much adopted a lot of the traits that made us so much better than them in 19-20 while we've moved away from them

Thiago = "unquestionably" our best midfielder.. and by a margin. The fact we haven't provided him with enough technical ability to work with is a bit of a crime.
His injury record is suspect though it has to be said. Playing him in a side built on such a high press probably not the smartest move. Bajcetic will hopefully get to learn from the maestro.
