Pretty sure that this is another nonsense one, but it hasn't been mentioned yet, so I thought I'd post.

We're now being linked with Marco Veratti - touted at £69M, supposedly.

Again, highly doubtful - he has had injury problems and has pretty much never played a full season.

Good player, but I just don't see him at LFC.

What do you guys think?

I forgot about the smoking thing, Ed001.

I read the article and it seems like a complete non-starter. £69M for a player that turns 31 in October? - plus, I dread to think of the wage he's on at PSG.

Don't get me wrong, I quite like him as a player - but, I really cannot envisage him playing for LFC.

{Ed001's Note - he is a brilliant player, but his lifestyle means he is always going to pick up injuries, more and more so as he gets older.}

Have we set up a pensioner's team to go with the U21 and U18's? Perhaps Simao really is still available, maybe Clint Dempsey too.


3.) 19 Jul 2023 17:21:30
He can have a ciggy after games with klopp in his office.


4.) 19 Jul 2023 20:04:01
Verrati tho a great player and a talent since his teens, I think he has severely under-achieved in his career staying at PSG as long as he did. Samr for Marquinhos who was also a great talent as a youngster. Sad.

What would everyone think about Goretzka?

Seems very unlikely, but there is news that Bayern are open to selling him.

He's 28 and very much linked with a move to Utd.

Got to be better than Phillips, right?

Parma-Violet19

1.) 17 Jul 2023 12:41:22
More of a box to box midfielder than a holding player. He may be better than Phillips but it doesn’t mean it solves our problems.


2.) 17 Jul 2023 13:05:17
Gotetzka and Lavia, that would work. 2 young CDMs and a versatile more experienced player.


3.) 17 Jul 2023 13:54:46
Zed, Gotetzka is not young. He is the same age as Fab right now yet people wanted him gone since last season.


4.) 17 Jul 2023 15:50:05
We needed another before Fab and Hendo were off out the door.
We need another 2/ 3 midfielders if they leave, 1 won’t be enough.


5.) 17 Jul 2023 16:55:03
Sorry Oli, less haste more speed on my part!

I meant that we would have 2 young CDMs (in Lavia and Baj) and a more experienced midfielder in Goretzka.

If we lose Hendo, Fab and Thiago then I think a more experienced midfielder would be a sensible purchase, if we are not paying top dollar.

Given that Barcelona appear to be interested in Thiago, if Kessie is interested, I would do a Thiago + cash for Kessie (as an alternative to Goretzka) .


6.) 17 Jul 2023 18:20:35
Zed, no issue, man. I heaar you but I do not think either Kessie nor Goretzka are true DM's either. For ex. at Bayern, Kimich is the DM with Goretzka either side of him. At Barca, it was either De Jong or Busquets who were the DM's last season with Kessie playing ahead of either one so that is where my concern is.


7.) 17 Jul 2023 19:40:19
Olired, neither had a good season either tbh.


8.) 17 Jul 2023 19:51:18
Don't disagree Oli, but we are playing around with a different system. Given we have Baj and potentially Lavia who have played as CDM (Lav more than Baj) having utility, experienced midfielders, like Kessie or Goretzka (or indeed Llorente) may be a practical solution who provide cover/ experience for a few different roles.

I can see us recruiting a more utility midfielder as well (a la Milly or even Hendo) to give us some cover. I sure we won't have enough budget to have, essentially, 2 different midfields with specialists, imo.

The Final is almost here.

It's frustrating that there has been such a break since the end of the season, which may work against us. Plus, CL games aside, Spurs weren't having a great run.

Kane should play, which is a concern, and Spurs are a great team. They almost had us in the last game and I expect a really tough game. It genuinely could go either way.

However; one thing that I do think may give us a slight edge is the disappointment of last year. Our team is virtually unchanged, so a great deal of the players starting will have that on their minds.

Parma-Violet19

1.) 27 May 2019 11:18:03
Its their first final - they could seriously bottle it - especially if we start well.


2.) 27 May 2019 11:30:46
They’re not going to bottle it.
On the contrary, they must be thinking that their name is on the cup.
It’s going to be a real old Premier League ding-dong unfortunately, which probably suits them more than us.
Extra time quite possibly.


3.) 27 May 2019 11:44:06
To be fair, they did bottle it against Ajax, until Ajax took a bigger dump.


4.) 27 May 2019 12:31:23
Spurs COULD bottle it. We could lose, of course. But if we play to our best, its ours.


5.) 27 May 2019 12:42:01
Redinthewrongway - I agree
The Juicer- They bottled the league against The Foxes, They nearly bottled 4th Spot this year plus have they been in a final with P in charge? This will be Klopp's 4th final for LFC (3 of those European) and I expect these players to finally stand up.


6.) 27 May 2019 13:22:29
King Carlos, as this is our 4th final under Klopp, and we lost our previous 3 it will strongly suggest we are the team that 'bottle it'. I think it will be a very good game with both teams going for it, I think we will have the advantage and hopefully win it . but regardless we should enjoy it.


7.) 27 May 2019 13:46:39
King Carlos, how can you 'nearly bottle' it. Surely you do or you don't?


8.) 27 May 2019 15:42:41
This game is 50 50 its who ever plays best on the day, spurs are very dangerous an should be treated with the upmost respect look wat happened with us in Istanbul, Milan underestimated our ability too come back, but in 2nd final they played occasion properly and beat us, hope we play too our full potential and do us proud but I am still buckling in my safety belt as we don't do things easy!


9.) 27 May 2019 18:15:05
Spurs form at the end of the season was woeful. They were played off the park by Ajax for 3/ 4 of the two games combined. We played Barcelona off the park for 3/ 4 of our two games. We've been on a great run in the league. Yes they are dangerous but we didn't beat them by 20+ points in the league for no reason. The players had the pressure of the final last year and the bitter taste of defeat I'm sure still burns. Having 3 weeks off might have upset our rythem. But, I think on the night our class will shine and we'll beat them by 2 or 3.


10.) 27 May 2019 18:39:34
Nobody bottles a final. That is just rubbish. If you make it to the final and you lose then you are a losing finalist which is better than not even being in contention at all. Max Allegri and Diego Simeone made 2 CL finals and lost. Are they bottlers too? We need to stop this kind of pathetic rhetoric. That's how rival fans who wish they were in our position, talk.

As for the game and if Kane plays or not, who cares, really? Spurs rarely beat us to begin with and we slap them around for the most part even when Kane DOES play so what's all the fuss or "concern" if he plays. I mean, you think Spurs care if Bobbie starts or not? They will prepare to the fullest for every scenario possible.

To the same point, I am sure Klopp and the boys are preparing to face the strongest Spurs team possible, with or without Kane. That's how teams prepare. They don't hope that a player does not play. In fact, our boys would want Kane to play, that way they can't come out and say "Oh, had Kane played, blah, blah, blah". I expect Kane to play and I expect our boys to be prepared to handle him. LET'S GO!


11.) 27 May 2019 18:55:22
Spurs have shown they can play without Kane and Son, but then again they were woeful last few games of the season without Kane. Funny old game.


12.) 27 May 2019 19:01:28
Agreed RedWolf. Although, I'm sure Spurs would certainly prefer it if Big Virg didn't play!

It'll be a great game, of that I'm sure. I do think we have the edge on paper, but anything can happen in a final.

One thing that amazed me was the difference in potential revenue based on whether you win the CL, or are the runner-up - it's about 3M (based on what I read), I expected it to be significantly larger.

Ultimately, it should all be about prestige and winning that trophy!


13.) 27 May 2019 19:20:57
Parma, the revenue difference was about the same last year too. But agreed.


14.) 27 May 2019 19:26:33
They are not as good as us. That is a fact. They finished 24 points behind us losing 13 games to our 1. We really have no one to fear but ourselves.
If we approach the game in the right way and don’t take the win for granted, we will run out comfortable winners.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, they should be a lot more worried about us than we are about them.


15.) 27 May 2019 19:39:58
Parma, I fully agree with you that the prestige is more important BUT you got to say, the money ain't bad either, eh?


16.) 28 May 2019 13:50:18
Ive got a theory why we have lost a few finals with klopp. don't get me wrong, i love klopp and hope he stays for 20 years.

He is always talking about keeping the boys cool, we have a relaxed atmosphere, if we keep cool and enjoy etc. that's perfect for the journey. But when you get to the destination you need to be fired up. Oh, of course the boys are fired up. Im babbling.


17.) 28 May 2019 18:35:01
Yes, you are, Robbie. LOL!

He's not even kicked a ball for us and we're questioning it?

Like most, I can't say I know too much about him, but his stats and the the things I've heard others say make him sound more than competent. I'm not sure he's necessarily going to be the first choice in the team, but - if he's as good as I've read - he could well become that.

Personally, I'm happy we're looking to bring in more experience. The younger players we've been linked with are exciting, but they'll need time to develop. There's never anything wrong with having a calm head on the pitch.

If he signs - welcome to Anfield!

It is what it is - if he has reasons to not feel that it's a good move for him, then we'd have to move on, anyway.

It's impossible to really know what's actually happening. The reports I've read (via Sky Sports) seem pretty vague.

I'm sure we'll know within the next few hours - wasn't the medical scheduled for this afternoon? (Klopp said he didn't know in the Press Conference) .

I'm hearing the same things. Don't shoot me, just repeating what I've heard!

What I'm hearing is that Liverpool are ready to make the bid. They know what it's going to take and it's mostly on the up-front fee - I understand that Liverpools proposal is higher than Chelseas on that front (I have to point out, there are no sources to confirm that) . FSG are ready to sanction the move, they know it's going to be up to 100M. At this moment, it's down to the player and whether Chelsea are willing to match the fee.

I have no idea if this is going to happen, but I've been on social media for hours trying to get this info - it's exciting, for sure - but, you have to remember that this is from many sources.

Ultimately, I don't know if this will actually happen. Chelsea could well match the offer and he may just choose them. but, it does sound like this will be resolved quickly. It sounds like Brighton want it sorted.

I know what you're saying Ed025, but considering the players that have left this season, we could do with his experience too.

In a perfect world, we would have gotten transfer fees for Keita, Ox and a few others - but, that hasn't happened (you'd hope that would be reviewed internally) .

I just love watching the guy play and I suspect a lot of neutral fans do too. We won't extend his contract, but I don't think we can afford to let him leave at 10M, considering the experience we've lost.

Thiago is just the player that we all wanted to be in the playground, he's incredible to watch. He's a luxury player, no doubt - but, you can't deny how incredible he is.

Plus, we probably still need him to be an interpreter for Darwin!

Parma-Violet19

{Ed025's Note - but PV he will leave for nothing at the end of this season anyway mate, while still gleaning his £200k a week in the process, hardly an incentive to bust your balls every week i would suggest..

I want Thiago to stay for purely selfish reasons - I just love watching him play.

If he plays 10, 15, or 20 games, you have to admit, the guy is just majestic. I absolutely adore his control, passing and reading of the game. Surely, we're all in it for what we actually see on the pitch?

If we can control his minutes (and injuries), he'll be great for us this season, I'd like to think.

It's obvious he has one year left on his contract, we're not going to extend it - of that, I'm sure. I actually love the idea of him going on a free and going home to Barca, it seems right, in some way.

Parma-Violet19

{Ed025's Note - it may be right for him PV. But what about Liverpool mate?..

Agreed, The Juicer.

It's obvious now that we have to just break the bank to get the right players in.

If it's Luis, then we know what we need to do and that's trigger that release clause. Same with Ignacio (if that's an option) .

There's just no more time for dithering, this is going to be a key season for the club and - if we want to be back in the top 4 - we've got a fight on our hands.

How does anyone really know what the players motivation is?

With Caicedo, you have to remember that he has family living in London. For such a young kid from Ecuador, I can absolutely see that being a big factor. The manager is South American, Chelsea have done a lot more work in persuading him to join. there's a lot more than just money that could be helping his decision.

No one knows what will happen with Lavia, yet. However, if you think he'll only end up as a bench warmer at Chelsea, is that a player you'd want starting for LFC?

Let's just see what happens. If Lavia chooses to join - fantastic. If he chooses Chelsea - fair enough, we move on to another target.

There was a story last week (sorry, I can't remember where I'd read it), where Eddie Howe said that they have no fear over Bruno leaving, or wanting to. Sounds like he's really settled and committed to Newcastle.

Fantastic player, but I doubt we could get him.

Florentino Luis would be amazing, but his release clause is over 100M Euros, right?

Pretty gutted about Caicedo, but I can't see how he joins now.
