To be fair, I think we would all $#!+ ourselves at the sight of Allison running out at us too.Dembele all you had to do was hit the barn door last second of the game. Thank you

It translates to sorry I dont have the foggiest what's going on and it's the offseason and it still need to fill column inches. So I'll do something rather vague like I know something because it will get hits.So from the Melissa Reddy article on Twitter;
"Liverpool's idea is to be patient and responsible in the market, allowing them to react if game changers who fill a need become available."
Translation: Liverpool don't plan on buying anyone unless the right target they want comes on the market. Which might not happen in which case they wont sign anyone. But it might in which case they will sign someone.
I wonder how many players (not counting Messi or some dumb crap like that) actually fit the description of "the right target". 5? 10?So from the Melissa Reddy article on Twitter;

Yep press release one on Lovren; Are you joking with us? Of course Lovren isn't leaving, why would anyone think that?My translation: we might sign Dembele if Barca become desperate and offer us a good deal. From the age perspective he's an ideal moneyball target so I could imagine our interest.
Barca probably hold the key to the merry go round. They must be under pressure to buy given Madrid's overhaul. 'Only' de Jong so far? If they add de Ligt and say Greizman they'll need others to leave. Not too many suitors for Coutinho with Chelsea banned and never for £100m. Dembele maybe their next best asset.
Weird that 'Origi not leaving' is the only news coming out. Sounds a bit like Lovren invaluable and not going for £25m or more.
If you're talking about to challenge the front 3 I'd say maybe 5(?) could fit what I've convinced myself the template is. But in that template its players 18-24 that are good with potential to be world class so even the likes of Messi and Ronaldo don't even fit. Just interesting that I think Dembele and Mbappe would both fit in that list of 5. All my opinion based on my guesses of what we need and my limited knowledge of the market.I wonder how many players (not counting Messi or some dumb crap like that) actually fit the description of "the right target". 5? 10?
I'd agree with your assessment. Add in maybe Havertz, Aouar, and a few others (maybe a kid like Joao Pedro), and yeah, about what I'm thinking. Aside from maybe a developmental LB and a replacement GK. There are guys that would be available for 25-35M that I think could improve the depth, but there's something to be said for keeping powder dry for a big boom when you need it.If you're talking about to challenge the front 3 I'd say maybe 5(?) could fit what I've convinced myself the template is.

I dont know if there was ever any serious interest in Lovren. I think the noises out of Italy today are that Milan are looking at someone else now.My translation: we might sign Dembele if Barca become desperate and offer us a good deal.

I thought the original story came from Italy, bit not anyone reliable?That's my point.... it's almost as if the story came from our end. :shocked:
The only thing we've heard all off season but maybe I've gone too David Lynch.
We wont be bringing anyone in unless it's to replace someone who is leaving... like Moreno and Sturridge....Am I being thick but what does this sentence even mean?!
The Reds are expected to have a quiet window beyond additions dependant on departures for squad depth. [Melissa Reddy]
Its not a well crafted sentence but i presume it means we are not expecting to sign players unless one of our existing players leave first (so we are looking to replace Moreno and Studge - but no-one else at this time).Am I being thick but what does this sentence even mean?!

I still think Lovren and Mignolet will join that list. I've always thought 4 signings is likely. Two lesser deals, bosman/loan/cheap, for backup goalkeeper (older, experienced, but plays the right way) and a versatile defender who can play WINGBACK on both sides. A star forward to finally compete with/cover for our star front 3. And a CB, star if available, more of a Klavan type if not. Only the Gk back up would be over 24. That's my guesses.Its not a well crafted sentence but i presume it means we are not expecting to sign players unless one of our existing players leave first (so we are looking to replace Moreno and Studge - but no-one else at this time).
If true what its saying is we are happy having him as back up for the next 12 months - it lets us progress Brewsters development and then if need be gives us another twelve months to identify and sign a suitable replacement.Letting Divock run down his contract doesn't make a lot of sense to me. If he won't sign, sell him and focus instead on adding another forward.
Brewster, Shaq and Ox may well all be seen ahead of him next season for the front three.....I am still not sure why Origi will not sign a contract. He is the only backup we have got for Firmino as Sturridge has left unless we play Salah/Mane upfront with Shaq/Ox to cover the RF/LF.. His playing time will be considerably more as he will definetly get close to 15-20 starts and as a sub in other games considering all competitions we are in.. And if we doesn't sign I would rather sell him for 35 million in this crazy market and get Werner..
I am betting that Can is regretting running down his contract, ah, so satisfying when that happens.Letting Divock run down his contract doesn't make a lot of sense to me. If he won't sign, sell him and focus instead on adding another forward.
Why, he would have got a nice signing bonus at the time because of no fee. He gets to experience a new country to live and play in. He just won the Serie A title. He's getting a good number of games and gets to play with the likes of Ronaldo, Dybala and co.I am betting that Can is regretting running down his contract, ah, so satisfying when that happens.
He has to sign a contract somewhere else for a transfer to go through. Seems an increasing number of players are just running their contracts down and then asking for signing bonuses bc the club isn't paying a fee. Also gives Origi another year to raise his value before he does that. Not saying that's what's happening, but it could be and it would explain why the club isn't talking about a transfer.I am still not sure why Origi will not sign a contract.

Which of course doesn't exclude Sturridge being "replaced" by Dembele or even Mbappe!We wont be bringing anyone in unless it's to replace someone who is leaving... like Moreno and Sturridge....

According to the rumors, Barca is interested in selling Coutinho and Dembele to finance Neymar. That means that they're hoping to get quite a lot of money for them. Looking at what Barca payd for them, and looking at their need to raise cash, he will be too expensive. I just don't see how it can happen.My translation: we might sign Dembele if Barca become desperate and offer us a good deal.
