Not even going to bother getting my hopes up over that Turan talk.

Well maybe just a little.

Some papers ran with a story over the weekend that Reus wouldnt go to united because he wanted champions league football, if true we do have a chance of landing him even if its a slim chance.

We would never get Reus, but there is always a 0.0000001% of landing him

Shock and ****ing awe, truly. Now sign Griezmann, Manolas, Moreno and Moses at least, and be done with it.

Expect to see him leaning at Melwood tomorrow.

Moses, that is.

LFC baffled that they are being linked to a talent like Reus? Thats embarrassing.

I can strike of Aurier from my wacky wishlist, signing for PSG. Probably can replace his name with Van der Wiel though.

Maybe they are baffled because he is already a LFC player :P

Just stating the fact that that type of signing would have been impossible 6 years ago. I didn't think you were slating, apologies if it came across that way

F*ck everything.

Yes, it says that "multifunctional midfielder" (as opposed to those midfielders that can only do one thing) will only cost them £31.8m. Hmmmm....

Cavani would be a great signing if its true he wants to join the PL.

Aye, needs to step up though!

Cavani has been Aguero at the world cup-esque any time I have seen him

Markovic and Origi are grand, both highly rated but we need somebody like Griezmann who are ready to go on to the next level, surely we'd be attractive to a player like that, he'd be one of our star players with CL football, good coach and the potential to be a club legend.

Why is it embarrassing?

Linked means that there is some sort of deal on, but there isn't so that is why they are baffled.

Signing Markovic ahead of Griezmann when we have 2 younsters like Sterling & Coutinho & also Ibe coming through isn't a great move imo. Griezmann is a superb talent & a brillant goalscorer.

Xfer window.

Chess, not checkers.

Especially with the amount of money everyone thinks we now have in our sky rocket.

I'd be interested to read suggestions from those who think Bony wouldnt be good enough for us give names of who will come to us for less than 100k a week and dont already have CL next season. Fact is, we wont be paying over 70-80k a week for any new player imo and that should be very obvious given the last 2 years. We can afford it for 1 or 2 players but the club wont pay it, its time we got used to it. Its just the reality of the situation.

The only way this club attracts the players we would like is sustained CL appearance.

In fairness it's early days and we all know by now that's the way the club operates, arguably mixed results so far with FSG. Still Suarez was 23/24, admitedly we got him on 40k a week, but there has to be players like Griezmann we can get. As daithi says though its unlikey we'll sign somebody looking for over 100k but there still are quality options.

The only way for a sustained CL presence is to get in quality players.
Sometimes you need to overpay to get quality. We are overpaying on average to decent players. Here's a list of linked and signed players.

Markovic
Bony
Origi
Lallana
Moreno
Can
Lovren

Whats the one thing in common other than they wont walk into our first 11. They've all had 1 maybe 2 good seasons under their belt. Yet they will cost approx £100m-120m combined. I know we need to bulk our squad but theres a balance to be met in terms of quality.

Because our club has a definite ceiling on what they will offer and we can auto exclude names who we can get given the criteria.

I thiink Markovic, Bony, Lallana and Lovren would go straight into the team.

Every year people complain about signings but don't offer alternatives.

Demand marquee signings despite the club not making a proper one since they bought Torres.

Agent Coulson

This coming season will now be a season of consolidation I believe.

Making the top 4 again is the most important thing.

What looks like happening now is building a stronger squad and bench comapred to last season.

We lost our star player but not just his goal and his assits but what we will miss most is his work rate.

That work rate looks to be replaced with Lallana and Can and even Lambert who all seem to have a history of running till they drop.

One CL after so many seasons away isn't going to be a draw to a so called marquee name.

We need to be getting CL year in year out to get the attention of these marquee players and the money that goes with CL helps pay the marquee players wages.

If we miss the top 4 this season and sign 1,2 or 3 marquee players this season we could easily find ourself right back where we were under H&G.

From that list, Lallana/Lovren/Bony/Moreno come straight into the first XI imo. Simply dont pay 20m under this 'regime' for squad filler.

To me, the obvious common denominator with all those players is that we can improve their wages and those improved wages come under our budget. We are paying the fee's because these players are taking wages we are comfortable with.

Perhaps my standards have been lowered by what i see happening above Rodgers. Just calling a spade a spade. Everyone knows the names we were linked with over the last few years that didnt come. People thought CL would cure most of that, reality isnt the same though.

I would be hugely underwhelmed if we signed Cavani. Hugely. Thankfully, there's nothing to suggest that we're in for him.

Me too. Cavani - that lad who scores all the goals? Who needs that? Down with this sort of thing.
