Liverpool FC Forum

A few noises in the rumour mill at the moment. Harry Wilson seems to be edging towards a move to Leeds. Some mid table interest in Grujic. Plenty of interest in Brewster both perm and on loan. We might keep Wijnaldum regardless of if he signs a new contract or not.

Looks like we have been linked with a £23m move for Belgium wonderkid Jeremy Doku. Apparently we approached him when he was 15. He was shown around the training facilities by Klopp and Gerrard and even Mane came in to try and presuade him to move here.

He was worried about not breaking the first team and decided not to join.

Now at 18 he's just broke into the national team and scored a cracking goal last week. He's alot like Mane, he slows the play down, then accelerates and leaves players for dead. I'd prefer this kid over Adama who I  thinks a one trick pony and massively overpriced.


Also can we just get Thiago already and stop messing about with the couple of millions.

I don't think Brewster, Grujic or Wilson have a future here. All three will go before the window shuts.

Mbappe has told PSG he wants to leave at the end of the season. Let's break the bank!!

Maybe that's what we've been saving for all this time 

Mbappe    How many player's would have to be sold to make that happen. He'd have no one left to play with  .

Anyway apparently Origi has held talks with Fenerbahce about a loan move with the option to buy for €15 mil. They pay his full wage and a loan fee.

I'm a little bit worried.. If Origi goes are we going to sign a replacement? Or is Klopp putting his trust in Brewster?

Klopp has apparently said he's going to use Gruijic as cover instead of paying £30m for Thiago..

I know Klopp will always defend what happens with the club and never throw anyone under the bus.. But I did find it worrying that he wanted Werner and the reason we didn't get him is because the board wouldn't give him the money.

Since winning the UCL we've not signed one player to improve the starting 11.. And it's becoming frustrating because players openly want to join us. We are not capitalising on being the best team in the world, and when teams catch us up we'll have no one to blame but ourselves.

I highly doubt we will get Thiago because I feel Wijnaldum will end up staying.

We’ve invested precisely £7.5m in the squad since 2018 .....  I think it’s far less than any other PL club or indeed any top club in Europe ... 

Brewster can't be a replacement for Origi if he's near the exit door as well. Apparently we're in talks with Palace and Sheffield United over his transfer.

We bought Tsimikas as well as Minamino?

Even then we are heading for a huge fall off our perch if we carry on like this.

All our main rivals have signed or are looking to sign real quality. Standing still as we have so far is not an option it just isn't 

Chelsea are the only ones who have done any business of significance so far. We've bought in Tsimikas, Man City have bought in Ake and Torres, Man Utd have bought in van de Beek, Leicester have bought in Castagne, Spurs have bought in Hojbjerg and Doherty. Nothing particularly threatening outside of Chelsea. Still 3 weeks of the window to go so plenty of opportunities for us and other clubs to add.

I think we'd be open to offers for Origi, Shaqiri and Brewster. But if sensible offers are not forthcoming there isn't much the club can do. We only need 2 players to join Minamino in supporting/challenging the front 3. Selling 2 of the 3 mentioned (in addition to Wilson) and bringing someone in is probably what the club would like to do in an ideal world.
