Don’t think cl changes the outcome for Newcastle. Why would they sell him? We need a 9 though.

And arsenal have 2 CL games

Apparently Qatar interested in Malaga too. guess that ends that one.

I can’t see Isak happening unless he makes it happen. If that’s the case, I’d imagine it’s already agreed and it’s just the timing for ffp. If not, and given what we need to do I can’t see it. not many number 9’s out there.

Being a Liverpool lad was just part of his brand and PR. He was never ‘Gerrard’ potential for us. He was always a Beckham wannabe. We just never saw it.

Time for him to move on. The ability to sell him is a great window of opportunity. Shift him on, let him drift out the back door. Just stop involving him in interviews, parade, last home game etc. not good for him, not good for us to see and deal with the circus. we thought he was a Gerrard and believed him. It was all part of his brand and marketing - he’s a Beckham wannabe. Is what it is. best we can do for the players, club, Trent and ourselves is just move on. Let him drift out.

Frimpong and kerkez would be solid. Means Virgil, konate and grav would be sitting more. Maybe even jones in 4-2-3-1

I can’t see Gomez going. One of the few home grown, academy trained English players. And no one paying enough for him. happy to keep him another season, 15-20 games would be make it worthwhile.

Yeah a common position amongst fans. Unfortunately it stopped being about fans years ago.

I’d imagine hudjson and kerkez and frimpong come in. If Virgil doesn’t stay, hato too. Can’t see Virgil leaving though. That’ll be 4 of back 5 potentially not starting next season. Back line will be the 100m we have available, plus kelleher and Tsimi sales you would think. front line, selling Nunez Diaz jota should fund two players fit enough and good enough to play, assuming Salah stays. Doak, badj, Morton (and Phillips!) may be able to fund zubimendi or similar.

Do you think Alonso moved him to 6? Or keeps him right back?

Oh the worst of it. my son has a signed shirt from him. His idol. It’ll be his first football heartbreak. And for that I’ll never forgive him.

Ah well we all knew it was coming. in retrospect the 4 year contract and him going ‘Hollywood’ was a sign too. just irks me that it’s so rare to be captaining boyhood club to trophies. Why would you give that up to be just another player? he shouldn’t bother turning up to last game or trophy parade. Don’t want to see fake tears and have him take the attention away from those that want to be here in fact we should just agree he goes now. Pay him out his last few weeks wages.

I can’t reconcile that he’s got legend status in his hands here. Homegrown captain, winning titles with hundreds of appearances. Look at our legends. or just another player at Madrid. i reckon as Liverpool captain lifting trophies, you’re earning more with endorsements etc than as a player in Madrid.

I reckon kirkez, hudjson are primary, with at least kelleher going other way. Doak makes sense too. hato I think is lined up for 26, but could come in if Virgil goes. Frimpong sounds like Trent replacement. Can’t see Ali leaving until 26. He and new lad will cover GK for next season. Robbo, konate, Quansah and possibly Gomez stay. Thats the backline. given that, I can’t see Salah leaving. I’m still betting on a proper clear out. Nunez, jota and Diaz. And assuming we get 2 in and chiesa stays. So gakpo, Isak, Salah, with chiesa and say Cherki as 4 and 5, with danns potentially 6. i think Trent is gone and given work required on front line, can see Salah staying. Virgil is 70/30 stays I reckon. s*** that we potentially losing any of course. Big summer ahead and summer next year. and like what we doing with keeper, if it plays out like we think. That is Ali and new lad for a season. Assuming same for left back. Robbo and kerkez for a season. f***ing Trent. Why would you leave now? You could captain the paisley era. Your family, grandkids etc would never have to buy a drink again. And all for a couple of euros. Money cant buy legend status.
