Also reports that we might be getting a BARCELONA cleaner on loan.

I saw clips of that Garcia lad, I know it is only YouTube and everyone looks good on YouTube but he looked like he could whip up a mean omelette. As for the cleaner, he will struggle with the pace of a premier league club  a money ball signing all the way!

Monacos left back Benjamin Mendy linked again.

Be amazing but be in a queue from Anfield to Stade Louis II to take him, if FSG are playing games with names they will not deliver its not on really.

Oh yes that omelette looked delicious. Garcia will be an asset, terrific signing worth every penny.

Everton used to do that years ago, they'd throw their hat into the ring whenever a big name came onto the market knowing full well they wouldn't get them.

The only reason he is being linked is because Melissa Reddy of Goal gave his name as an answer when she was asked "which left back do you think the club should go for"? See how easy "links" are created!

Forgotten man Andre Wisdom away to Derby for £2m, even Salzburg didnt fancy him after the loan.

No money at all really but I feel he will be lucky to make any real progress at Derby tbh.

Yep, he's another one on the verge of going who was very highly rated when he was progressing through the youth ranks. I think he was even captain of England at one point. To be fair at least he did get as far as the first team, in fact I seem to remember him having a decent little run in the side and doing quite well until Kevin Mirallas ripped him to shreds in a Derby game. He fell off the radar after that.

Sky sports saying it could rise to 4.5 mil with add-ons. Its a good move for him where he should be a starter. It is disappointing that he never made it here but he is still only 24 and has plenty of time left in the game. Best of luck to the lad 

Salah's fellow countryman Mido is on record saying that Salah will sign for us this summer. Decent signing imo with the only drawback being that he would also be joining Mane whenever the African Nations is on.

Newcastle are reportedly interested in taking both Joe Gomez and Lucas Leiva, would be sad to see Joe leave even on a loan, but if he gets plenty of prem experience it could be a good move for us long term

What we need to watch is that we don't deplete the squad too much and end up in the same place that we were last season. If we have got sufficient cover then by all means let them go, but we are in Europe next year and potentially have a lot of games to play.

Wouldn't be a bad move for him.

Some former players and pundits seem convinced Van Dijk will be a Liverpool player come the end of the transfer window. I'm not hopeful but I'd love to see it.

My expectations have lowered somewhat tho. Wait and see

Gomez will be loaned out and then sold on in a year or two. He has 2 seasons now with Klopp and struggles to get a kick in the first team so the writing is on the wall. I know Joe has had a few niggly injuries here and there but Jurgen still overlooked him in favour of Lucas and even Can at CH. If Klopp thought he was good enough then he would have played him and certainly wouldn't be considering loaning him out.
Once he goes out on loan that's him finished here imo which is a shame as he looked a decent player and a good defender.

We can afford to lose some fringe players but I don't think we can make wholesale changes and expect us to do anything this year. We have about 16 players in that squad who should be kept and if we can make 4 quality additions to integrate into that then we would take some beating.
We have far too many players on the books that we can get shut of without impacting that 16, Players like Markovic, Moreno, Flanagan etc who should be sold rather than constantly loaned.

Few niggly injuries? Gomez tore his cruciate ligament the week Klopp joined the club and then messed up his achilles last summer. He was in recovery for over a year and wasn't available to play. He's only really been available for games since the beginning of 2017. And sure, Klopp chose Klavan and Lucus over him on a few occasions, but that doesn't mean he has no future here. If we can bring in a centre back a loan move to PL club were he can play regularly at CB would be a great move. He is very inexperienced. Only played a couple of dozen games for Charlton and a few games for us.

Waiting for Liverpool to sign players

Old but still works for me
