Slots Summer Squad Rebuild 2025/26

I disagree on Nunez. He scores many more with City imo - gets better chances delivered by better technicians, more opportinuty to develop the composure he so desperately needs..

Regardless on your point.. SO are you advocating we go for players more like City?

Well even 22/23 he scored 19 goals still average rating was 6.66 ! that's how many chances or fucks up he did I guess.

I just think if you're going to have a player like Coutinho,Wirtz,Silva etc etc, rest of the team needs to be solid, and you need a no6.... and work-rate needs to be good

I think city are a good team to look at because Haaland isn't exactly the most defensive of forwards either- works hard off ball making runs etc but you wouldn't have him playing like Firmino did.... because they can do it with Silva and Haaland.... why can't we with Wirtz and Isak... no6 is important- So yeah if any team we should be looking at, it's city.

I feel like UTD are a good example of this, they're doing better now and Casemiro has good form come out of nowhere and started playing damn well for them, but that team isn't balanced either, they desperately need another midfielder, Casemiro getting on..... you can't just have Fernandes in there, they need a DM too, at least more energy to support Penandes

[Steveo]

Think Coutts was way different - had so much more in his locker than Wirtz on the ball. Make a fool out of 3 or 4 players than smash one top corner.. Utter match winner. Shame he never got to play in a Liverpool side that had the solidity via Virgil - Alisson and Fabinho... or with both bombing on FB's
Wirtz - from what I see has great vision and is decent in tight spaces.

But he does need equally clever players with him - Fernandes is a good example. We don't have a mid like that - nobody that slick or technical.. Wirtz would benefit playing with someone like that.. but that means a change for us..

Romano reporting we have made a list offer to Konate. It would put as one of our highest earners, apparently. Is he worth that much? Would it cost too much in longer term to replace him?

Well it's a pretty desperate situation considering VVD won't be around forever

And leoni won't even be fit till half way next season I'd imagine

No and no

It gets worse..

Of the 14 competitive games France have had - they have lost 3 games.
Konate only played in 8.5 of those games - yet all 3 defeats came in games he played in.


Worse ....

Quarter Final and the 2:0 loss in Zagreb came after 2 first half goals for Croatia - Konate was hooked at HT and France kept a clean sheet second half.

Return match in Paris - Konate didn't feature - France win 2:0 .. it goes to pens and they went through.

Worse still....

Semi Final v Spain. Spain 5 France 4.. Konate's back line shipped 5 goals.. and France crash out..!

That's 10 goals conceded in 2.5 games.

90 mins v Italy - 3
45 mins v Croatia - 2
90 mins v Spain - 5

Let him go to Real Madrid - they will only take him for nothing.. low risk. no way they are paying a cent for him on recent form. If we really are going to give a top level salary to a player that opposition are clearly targeting and using as a catalyst for mistakes - while refusing to do the same for Luis Diaz.. then Klopp worked more miracles than even I credit him with.

I would be saying to Ibou.. Listen pal.. we know what you are capable of - BUT put your talking on the pitch - it's a world cup year.. show us something before the end of January or feel free to go..

Don't let him dictate anything until he performs.

So where we getting the money from to afford 2 Top CB'S Stevo ?

Yes we'll need 2

on top of a no6 LW/RW

[Steveo]

Not really reading are you..?

Look at Konate's form.. I posted it up there for France..And that is more realistic when he isn't next to Virgil... How is that the form of a top CB? To replace that is easy.. IF we want a top level Cb we should have bagged Guehi when he was available..


What we need is a total change of model - OR another Jurgen Klopp

[Kev0909]

He's not far behind VVD on the ratings blablbla and all that shit

But let's pretend VVD has been perfect too ey...

Options are a joke at the back compared to Arsenal, and we're still counting on a aging VVD to play every game and be the star man, the futures bright init.
