Weren't Juve offering 20 million for Firmino. Glad he stayed mind you as we would be in an even deeper hole without his goals this season

If only transfer activity was that simple. Realistically, who buys him and for what kind of cash?
I may make an error or two here and can make amendments if necessary, but -
Nobody bought Can.
Nobody bought Moreno.
Nobody bought Lallana.
Nobody bought Wijnaldum.
Nobody bought Origi.
Nobody bought/is buying Ox.
Nobody bought/is buying Keita.
Nobody bought/is buying Firmino.
Can't see a World where we sell Fabinho any time soon and certainly doing so when he is (probably) in the worst form of his career is no way to recoup any kind of cash for him.

Fabinho is by a distance our best DM. We all know it - well all accept for maybe one individual.
It will be our own funeral if we are relying on Henderson who was shocking this time last season too. Thiago is clearly only going to make half the games we have. Seriously, people need to have a good look at our football. The front line isn’t banging in the goals at the same time as the FB’s have gone off the boil.
Hmm
I suggest the club has been totally remiss. FSG need to be questioned hugely.
Why were we left last season with such a threadbare midfield? Anyone who says - oh we almost made a quad - does indeed miss the point. We did BUT we did so totally relying on 3 players - 2 of them well over 30 and 2 of them also unfit for the CL final both with muscle injuries… WHY?
Because we are not prepared to cut the chord on those who have proven themselves unreliable - and an unwilling to invest in players we so badly need!
Fabinho’s poor form this season can imo clearly be traced back to that crazed attempt by Klopp to rush him back from a hamstring injury way way too fast. It destroyed his pre season and it is showing nil badly now.
It all stinks of what I have long suspected. FSG are running a bank, not an elite football club. This is pure investment only.
Obvious after summer 2019 for me… but clear when Gini was let go. And to any who say Oh Thiago was Gini’s replacement…? Really at nigh on 30? With a known history of missing games. How Gini like…In a new league - a totally different player? One who is best served with better technical ability around him?
Ok then - so let’s pretend he was a Gini replacement.. then who was brought in for him to partner? Only Fabinho close to his level… so who? A 16 year old Elliott? WTF
The club is Avin a lafff! And not a very good one.
Arthur’s way too Melo…. Seriously…!!
Klopp always had a midfield blind spot, sadly he has allowed the money men to have him making do for too long. It is a bit late now to fix it.
Owners who have become an obstacle rather than a help. Job was done for them with number 6… they aren’t interested in driving us to more success. If it comes - yeehaaw, we’ll lap up the credit. If it doesn’t and we can just stay in those top 4 berths… that’s peaches and cream. If we can’t do that - they will move Klopp on.
Fooking suits….suits that know sweet FA about football.

Well now Jude will clear off to Madrid maybe City perhaps we can tell our itk journos to start coming up with realistic names.
Here is a list to start with.
Enzo (Just for you Nineteen you have to get someone in you want)
Ward-Prowse
Baku
Kone
Sucic
These are what I class as realistic we have zero chance of Jude and imo very little for Barella.
We f****d around with choo choo dont make the same mistake again.
Henry won't spend what it will take to get bellingham but even if he was willing to I wouldn't want it. We can get a whole new midfield of 3 £30-40 million players for the same amount.
I'm surprised no one has come in for ward-prowse and he never even gets linked with a move away. I think he'd be a good fit on the right side of midfield. I don't know anything about the others mentioned but it can't be that hard to find a couple of durable, hard working and tactically astute midfielders in that price bracket
