Liverpool transfers in/out and rumours 22/23 + Contracts

[redebreck]

Just saw Carvalho to Brentford for £20m

£27m with add-ons

For £20m I’d have rather kept him, looked pretty handy preseason.

Slotmeister was only saying recently how impressed he has been with the lad.

Typical. £20m in FSG 's pockets to boost our transfer kitty (maybe).

I agree with the transfer. he may look good in friendlies..I have my doubts hes strong enough for the premier league

Agreed. Though i'm sursprised that Brentford are after him. They're a very phyiscal side.

i could see him doing well at Brighton.

:

Liverpool are now best positioned to sign goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili (23) and have now made an offer for him 💣✅

Valencia NEED to make one big sell this window to improve their accounts and Mamardashvili seems to be the one chosen.

[justincredible]

Ali out, Giorgi in!

Kev.

Just under a week ago, August 4th, the size of the squad was being discussed.

I laid out our likely (at the time) 25-man squad as such (bearing in mind a finite amount of spaces) -

Goalkeepers - we have 3 -

Alisson
Kelleher
Jaros

Defenders - we have 9 -

Robertson
Tsimikas
Van Dijk
Konate
Gomez
Sepp
Quansah
Trent
Bradley

Midfielders - we have 8 -

Mac Allister
Szoboszlai
Jones
Elliott
Gravenberch
Endo
Bajcetic
Morton

Forwards - we have 6 -

Salah
Núñez
Jota
Gakpo
Diaz
Carvalho

So that takes us up to 26 players.

That ignores Nat Phillips - a lad who is unlikely to feature in the first-team squad, but is on the wages of a first-team squad member

Then we have a list of lads who could potentially supplement our main group, or we should be sorting loans for - depending on people's views on individuals. This is lads like Beck, Nyoni, Clark, Doak - add others at your leisure.

Now, the first person to respond was yourself and what you said (page 780 I think) was as follows (I'm going to put the most relevant points in bold here) -

Well that squad is not good enough to challenge for the prem or try for champs league.

That back line.....

Even the attack after last season isn't very impressive..... unless diaz starts actually being better than theo walcott and jota stays injury free for once and not out half rthe season the midfield isn't exactly the best either compared to others.

I guess we're back to the days of being happy with top 4, is what it is.

You want a stronger squad. Who doesn't? I certainly do - I think we are all united behind that cause.

Is selling what most would consider the weakest of our front six not a good thing? If we want to strengthen the squad, a squad which can only be of a finite size for the 25-man registration, then does it not make sense to sell one of our weaker options (Carvalho in this instance - and if people want to make a case for him that's fine too!) while we continue to attempt to bring in a player that will be better than most of our mids?

I can hardly think of a better way to go about things (move weak links out, bring strong links in) to prevent us from being, in your words "back to the days of being happy with top 4" - surely good business is a good thing?

If it's "Carvalho out, nobody in" then yeah, that will be a problem, but otherwise....?
