Hoping a New Thread may fix the posting issues.
That's appalling
Guehi to City done.
We've known we're desperate for a CB for about 5 months, I do not understand why we are so slow here.
Doesn't look good for Slot's prospects if they don't invest in a centre half/defender this January. Holding onto their chips in case they want to make a change of manager in the summer. One year left in his deal at that point so a relatively small payout.
Still need to get at least 2 defenders in next summer, can't see why not trying to get one in now but I guess depends on their targets, if clubs would sell now, etc.
This is pretty much the position Klopp was in for almost every season he was here. The finance men are in charge at the end of the day, and I don't think anyone is getting the sack for the transfer policy as it has been a relatively low cost for the club owners vs other top clubs. We're always close to the bone on backups and an injury away from calamity (which has ultimately come to pass more than once)
It will be Slot first to go,the manager is always the easiest to sacrifice.
2 of 3 of Huges Edwards and Slot should be going end of season or before depending on how the **** show continues to play out.
OK they can match it,but the club is run with wage structures,and the minute you give into the demands of one player you will have every player at the club knocking on the door looking for parity. Plus all future signings will look for massive wages as well. Do VVD and Konate really make 550k a week combined? If thats true and add in Guehi potential wage you are looking at over 750k a week on 3 centre halfs. Is that sustainable for us?
Sorry, Liverpool cab absolutely match it. They just don't want to. Virgil and Konate make what 550K a week combined. Konate will be gone in the summer, Virgil the following summer.
Crying the poor mouth doesn't work. Liverpool can match if not out spend city.
Shambles. As it stands we have 2 centre backs and an injury prone Joe Gomez. Serious questions of Richard Hughes required after this fiasco.
Looks like City have offered better personal terms to Guehi than we have,unfortunately little we can do about that,that is the advantage of been allowed to cheat,you can offer wages that normally run clubs can't match
I don't care if we don't get Guehi.
I DO care if we don't get *any* CB.
I'd have hoped we'd be as attractive from a football side, definitely more guarantee that he'll be playing regularly (he'd be overplayed if anything!), he'd definitely be a central pillar of our team for years. Not saying he won't at City, but it's definitely less likely
I do find it very strange there's been no mention of us even trying to sign him now
Losing out in Guehi is a disaster honestly. Our CB options are a disgrace.
Virgils contract up in a year
Konate contract up this year
Gomez is finished
Leoni injured and we don't know how good he is.
Not much we could have done id imagine. Deal was done but Palace side dropped it
Surprised he's looking to leave now but City a more attractive option
City advancing quickly on a Guehi deal it seems. Pity we didn't get it done last summer. A big miss from our side.
This being Spurs, that might either be a coaching role or an addition to their squad.
Couple of half interesting articles on the BBC (though no real insight in either)

The understanding is that Salah will remain a Liverpool player until at least the summer, where he will lead Egypt at the World Cup.
What happens after that remains to be seen. Salah is a player who wants to start football matches and will not be content with sitting on the bench.
Yeah he's great. We were linked with him the summer he moved to spurs.
John Heitinga off to spurs.
Micky Van den ven would be a great signing, hopefully vvvd has been convincing him to come to Liverpool
Here's a good analysis by Alice on our options for defenders in this Jan window
Peep show fan eh?
Well we don't have any other RB other than Frimpong so I'd imagine that's where he'll be playing.
Crazy approach from Egypt manager, they sat in and defended for the whole game, only when Senegal scored did they go forward, and looked great for it. Unreal tactic in a semi so sit in and try get a goal on the break . None of the forwards got a sniff.
Good point, always forget about those matches 🙈
He should be played up top beside Ekitike or interchanging with him if we are only playing 1 up
Saturday at 4pm. He surely won’t play in it but will likely stay with the squad.
Egypt’s tactics were apalling. Sat back the entire game. Mo’s pace is nowhere near what it was and the Senegal full back outpaced him for every long ball. With Frimpong finding form, Mo may need to settle for a new role and much time on the bench is he stays with Liverpool.
So according to the BBC report Salah was "largely anonymous" for the match. Obviously the system/managers fault that.
***To be taken with a pinch of salt in reply to some posts trying to tell us Salah has not been a problem this season…
Oh, naughty, you've combined metric and imperial, you might get an interdenominational... you know, from mixing the two measurement systems, a hangover of that kind
Will still have to play a 3rd/4th playoff
