It's nice that all the names we're being linked with are somewhat experienced. No 'potential' type players this summer!

I don't mind us getting "potentials" - just so long as we get some "experienceds" too. smile

If all we sign from now on is a top quality defender, I'd be satisfied with this window already. I don't think we need too many players, just key quality players that will make a difference. A box to box midfielder would be icing on the cake.
And a left back smile

We have Milner and Gomez as cover. TAA could possibly cover the LB slot too if needed. Perhaps not 100% ideal but I could live with it. I have always been of the opinion that bringing in too many people in one go, disrupts the make-up and balance of the team. I'd be happy with just 2 or 3 quality additions this summer.

I agree , surprised there was nobody else in for him TBH.
I heard that he wanted to come to Spurs, but we didn't want him!

Quite pleased with that.

30 - 35m in the present climate seems like pretty good value.

Thought the max we could pay is £34.5... thus keeping AC in the LFC record books, at least for the time being.

c35 million is good value given his stats. I think we will now sell Lazer so Salah in the end will have cost us the difference there. I'd say all said and done it'll be around 20 million. Pleased with the signing of Salah.


Now in order of preference
Defender (we'll get 30 million for Sakho)
Striker (we'll get 40 million for Sturridge and Origi)
Left Back (15 million for Moreno)
Central Midfielder

If the sales come off we afford to buy some big signings as we're getting a return on the players we have. 63 million is what Dortmund are asking Aubameyang. By the time we've finished selling Sturridge and Origi it becomes 20 million.

I'd be more than happy with the choice in striker being Aubameyang, Firmino, Ings and Solanke.

Liverpool have had a €100m bid for Monaco wonderkid Kylian Mbappe rejected, according to reports in Spain.

Marca, one of the leading Spanish publications, claim that a substantial bid from the Reds was turned down by the French club.

Mbappe is one of Europe's most sought-after players this summer, with interest from clubs all over the continent.

Liverpool, we know, would take the 18-year-old in a heartbeat. But Marca claim that Jurgen Klopp has firmed up his interest with a 'second bid' of €100m (£88m).

The report insists, however, that: "Dmitri Rybolovlev, owner of the Ligue 1 team, doen't seem to have much intention of selling his striker and in any event, has always maintained that the starting price will go beyond the 114m euros that Manchester United paid for Paul Pogba last summer."

It states that Monaco are more than happy to keep Mbappe if he wishes to stay, and that the player has told Rybolovlev that the only club he would leave the principality for is Real Madrid.

Huge statement of intent if true.

By bidding 20% under the asking price and therefore ensuring you have absolutely zero chance of succeeding? That's straight out of the Levy playbook hehe

I help out in a charity bookshop and one of the donations we received yesterday was Howard Webb's Autobiography.

I put it to one side for any Liverpool supporters who may be interested. The side I put it on was the one where we put books for recycling biggrin

I took a photo of this page first:-

We won't sign Aubameyang or Mbappe.

Surprised we've not been linked to Lacazette more strongly though.

Looking like you have a good first 11 brewing. How is the academy doing with getting players ready? It's tougher the higher up the league you go to "blood" youngsters as the expectation is much higher, but wondered if you had 2-3 who would make their debuts in the league next season?
