    Surely Rio was approached by Bayern because they could see he was frustrated at continually being on the bench. But as soon as Slot was gone, the 'talks' collapsed.

    I.....don't see it, at the moment.

    We have good players here and there will be a fresh voice in Iraola, plus we should be able to bolster the squad (even if it's considerably less financial might than last Summer) with us having Champion's League football.

    If anyone genuinely wants out, then off they go - Europe is brimming with talented athletes who would want the chance to make it here.

    I think it will be more like Benitez-time than Klopp-time for a season or two (Champion's League finishes, reasonable European runs, but maybe no silverware) but I don't see a return to the 09/10 to 15/16 period which was largely lifeless apart from a mad title run in 13/14 and that League Cup win over Cardiff in 11/12 with the following line-up -

    P Reina
    G Johnson
    M Skrtel
    D Agger
    J Enrique
    J Henderson
    S Gerrard (c)
    C Adam
    S Downing
    L Suárez
    A Carroll

    Substitutes

    A Doni
    M Rodriguez
    D Kuyt
    J Spearing
    J Carragher
    M Kelly
    Bellamy

    We're a bit imbalanced just now and need work in a couple of areas, but the squad isn't complete pish.

    Better coaching can hopefully see us cut the 53 League goals conceded down to 40-45 conceded and an addition or two can hopefully see the 63 League goals scored creep up to 70-75 scored - this should be a decent building block and we can go from there.

    Er ….

    Spurs supposedly rumoured to be willing to offer €85m (Ł73m) for Cody Gakpo.

    Can we think about…. Yes, yes reluctantly we will have to let our star player go in they case.

    It has been revealed by Spanish outlet El Desmarque, Konate was given a Ł400k a week four year deal and a Ł17m signing on fee.

    I’d have gone myself to be fair …

    Just in case anyone was wondering


    PSG's Georgia winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, 25, is the mystery player Florentino Perez is planning to move for should he win Real Madrid's presidential election, sources close to the Spanish club believe. (Teamtalk)

    So in the space of a couple of days Perez has gone from wanting Haaland, to Olise, and now Kvaratskhelia. Has Perez got ADHD, or just run of the mill bullshititis?
