Zouma is horrid on the ball and passing 'every press against our back is an adventure if he is the limit of our ambition at CB we are well and truly fucked will not budge on this our defensive record this year speaks volumes one flash bursting (and pointless) run ending in a wild shot does zero to change anything

LIVERPOOL EYE UP JANUARY MOVE FOR DARAMY – A SIMILAR PLAYER TO MANE https://readliverpoolfc.com/2019/11/08/liverpool-eye-up-january-move-for-daramy-a-similar-player-to-mane/ Liverpool are eyeing up a January move for Mohamed Daramy, according to 90min. The Reds will face competition from Celtic, however, with the Scottish Premiership giants also keen on acquiring his signature. Daramy is a hugely exciting prospect, already breaking into FC Copenhagen’s first-team this season, despite being just 17 years of age. The striker became the Danish club’s youngest goalscorer in history last year. Daramy has been likened in style to Sadio Mane, meaning Liverpool could see him as a long-term understudy to the Senegalese superstar. snip

I say at least £250m and zero shock if 275-300m who buys him (if it is summer 2021 and probably already now tbh) is buying a 22yo who is hands down, at that point, the best player on the planet (Messi and CR7 being felled by father time) you would get 10 years or so peak play (especially if it goes done in 2020, when he is 21) look at it as 25m to 30m per year new transfer spent for what is probably 400 plus goals all comps (and maybe 500 plus if he gets up to CR7/Messi levels and he is already STREETS AHEAD of both for his age) his marketing rights alone are worth hundreds of millions

Why Rudiger is likely to end up being out for longer than three more weeks http://londonfootballnews.co.uk/chelsea/why-rudiger-is-likely-to-end-up-being-out-for-longer-than-three-more-weeks/ Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger seems unlikely to return within the next month following surgery on a groin problem. Rudiger this week saw a consultant who advised that an operation would be the best course of action. Speaking at a press conference on Friday afternoon, Chelsea manager Frank Lampard said the German is likely to be out for around three more weeks. However, Lampard also suggested that Rudiger would then need more time before he is ready to return to first-team action. “He had an operation and he’s going to be out probably for around three weeks,” Lampard explained. “Then we’ll have to see where the match fitness comes in, because it’s a long time Toni’s been out now.” Nevertheless, Lampard is pleased that Rudiger’s injury appears to have finally been addressed. The centre-back, previously troubled by a knee problem, has played only once this season and Chelsea have been trying to get him fit for several weeks. “It was nice to get something definitive about it. We’ve been trying to find a solution,” Lampard said. “Toni’s been having some issues and it’s not easy for a player in that position. “Hopefully in three weeks’ time we’ll be in a lot better place.”

I sob a wee tear every day that he is out injured. SO VITAL!
-
A bit, he is Dynamo Kyiv's best player by far, I am not sure the step up in class to a league like the EPL will work out. Would like to see a lower table EPL team buy him and let us then evaluate. I do not get an innate star vibe off him atm. He blew a pen last night against FC Copenhagen in Denmark that cost them the win (they drew 1 1 )

do not forget, Werner can also play either wing (or in a two striker setup), so that is a lot of rotational minutes he, unfortunately, would be a fucking massive weapon under Klopp IF I were a bindipper, (right before shooting myself in the mouth) I would pee my panties if Victimpool signed Werner and a WC AMF (a left footed one who can also play RW would be perfect as clearly Klopp has given up on Xherdan Shaqiri) plus a decent backup LB, plus maybe a swap-out on at CB. Lovren is dogshit IMHO (if he were on Chels he would be a whipping boy target for me, like Alonso is) and if, like now, Matip is injured and TA-A needs a rest (so no Gomez at CB), they are so much weaker let's all hope NONE of that occurs (some will, surely)

Bayern are all over the place winger-wise, linked with Sane, Mane, CHO, Sancho, Dembele, Coutinho (have him on loan, not sure if they buy perm, probably not) lololol It isnt like they are THAT weak at there but they are overloaded on the LW with all but Gnabry being LWers (Coutinho, Coman, Perisic, Alphonso Davies, who actually will be their LB replacement for Alaba I think, long term, and is left-footed, so no clue why they do not use him as an inverted RWer at times) and even Gnabry is really a LW (and is playing there even now on occasion) Sancho and Dembele make the most sense, as they can play either wing, but Sancho is out of their price structure, and Dembele is as well unless Barca give a STEEP discount (which they might due to his issues, BUT Bayern do NOT buy 'issue' players) all in all, I cant be arsed, I am still really pissed with Bayern over CHO, although I am sticking with them and especially PSG as my 2 darkhorse CL favourites this year (with us as my 100 to 1 longshot)

Liverpool open transfer talks with Timo Werner https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/media-watch/371040-liverpool-open-transfer-talks-with-timo-werner grrrrrrrrr This story has been reproduced from the media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
-
that does change things but fucking Klopp is after him like a rat with cheese too
-
£27m, wow these articles are so fucked lolol I did find that (30m euros) from Kicker the articles I had read before did not mention it, and said that RB would get huge money for him
-
I edited it after you replied, Werner renewed with RB (I had missed that) so maybe we do have a shot, BUT he is going to cost £100m or so, as Liverpool, and many others are in the mix now
-
Werner is going to cost insane money, he renewed with RB Leipzig (I had missed that)
-
I will be shocked if he doesnt end up being a world class striker
-
I did not include Dembele as he was in my top 2 RWers so not eligible for the criteria and yes, I should have specified that Sane could have went for France, but he has played a few competitive matches, even though he did not make the 2018 WC squad (which seriously fucked up Germany, lolol) Just replace Lopes with Alban Lafont on the final 25 man squad (or even Lacomte) Lemina did not make that cut, so no loss
-
I see so many who want Werner There is zero reason that we cannot have two top notch young strikers when Arse is clicking, those 2 they have now are brutal we carry 3 strikers now I would love to see Giroud and Bats shipped out and roll with Tammy and Håland at some point, IF we are ever going to win the CL and the league agains, we simply must have a smattering top world class players mixed in with our you academy products might as well buy them young instead of waiting until they are £100m plus. Chilwell is more than likely going to cost £70m plus. Same for Declan Rice if we buy him. Sancho will cost £100m plus, probably more like £110-120m . IF Håland blows up to true potential, he will cost £150-175m or more by the time he is 22 or 23. Why wait and toss away 100m plus, when we can (we have done it before, and on deals I said are BAD) roll the dice on a fraction of that now.
-
I think we need to go ALL out on Chilwell he is the only one who checks every box possible (other than scoring much) I saw Grimaldo mentioned, he is the same in my book at Telles, just a little less than 3 years younger (a good thing) BUT is very short (9 cms shorter than Telles) and will be dominated by the physicality and size of the EPL and they both are in a shit league, plus his release clause is £55m, and Benfica said ZERO chance he goes for a penny under José Gayà , in summer 2018, renewed his contract and has a 100m euro release clause, so that is a NO GO unless Valencia can be talked down my number one target last year was Junior Firpo, but Barc snapped him up and he is now completely off the board, they STOLE him for only £17m (as his contract was running down) he would have been a monster here under Lamps, and that was another ban killer blow (although he would have been hard to pull from Barca, as he is Spanish-raised Dominican Republic IF we agree to say no to Telles, then it really is Chilwell or bust, unless Malang Sarr blows up as an LB (which would be ideal, as he certainly has the size and pace to be an EPL monster there) Shitty are going to do anything they can to snatch Chilwell I fear, as Pep is at wit's end with Benjamin Mendy (IF we could grab him on the cheap, he might be worth a role of the dice, as he is big and fast and might actually be a better fit here than Shitty, but I am so so paranoid of him, as he seems a trouble maker) LB and RW are NIGHTMARE positions to fill IF we miss the top two targets (Chilwell and Sancho) Plus Shitty have right of first refusal on Sancho (to make it even more complicated) It is clear that both Pulisic and CHO are vastly better on the left, so that is sorted for years and years, but Willian only has but so many more seasons left, I get the bad feeling after this year he may completely collapse (he will be bloody 32, and look at so so so many 32 yo wingers not named CR7 and/or Messi) Ribery (who is 36) is literally (if you still count him) the ONLY other decent winger over 31 in Europe. Callejón has hit the wall at 32 years of age. Payet too. They are both shadows of what they once were. Once Pedro leaves the only EPL wingers older than Willian are Robert Snodgrass and Aaron Lennon. That is it, literally. I have a really bad feeling that Zouma (Lamps is mesmerised with him from all appearances), Willian, Azpi, and Alonso (if we fail on Chilwell) are all going to be here next year Pedro and Giroud will be gone, and HOPEFULLY we sell ALL the dregs out on loan. Barkley needs to go too, whilst he can still get sorta big money If we fail on grabbing Chilwell and Sancho, I see no obvious buys, and IF we do not sell Zouma (and/or AC) I do not see us buying the desperately needed WC CB (Konate or Romganoli at the top of the list) either. Werner is 98% going to Bayern, I do not see why anyone puts him up as a legit target, so CF is a coin toss too. (I would SO try and make a deal with Watford for João Pedro, especially if they get relegated) OR even better IMHO (another new one) Erling Håland, a 19yo Norwegian beast (1.94m, strong as a bull, with a wicked shot, has 23 goals and 6 assists in only 17 games, including 7 goals in the CL) from RB Salzburg, and he was born in Leeds, so counts as a homegrown (he is the son of the Norwegian former Nottingham Forest, Leeds United and Manchester City defender Alf-Inge Håland.) For MF, I am afraid that we are locked in on moving for Declan Rice (not a bad buy, just will be so so costly), and will not even give a look at the so affordable (only £45m realease) absolute peak beast Thomas Partey or the two wunderkind (especially Camavinga (who can be a superstar youth buy) and also Florentino , who is going to get snagged by Shitty I think, IF they can agree a price with the Benfica cunts) (å is aa in English spelling for Norwegian and Swedish) the world is coming for him this summer '
-
His release clause is now only £35m, so is we strike out on Chilwell (what a blow if we do) he is, even though 27yo (turns 27 in 5 weeks) a great buy, unless we can pull Gaya (who will cost close to Chilwell quid) we simply desperately need to upgrade at our fullbacks, if Reece is injured (dog forbid and he still is a year or two away from hitting his full time stride peak) I rate none of them as starting level quality for a team remotely thinking about titles I think we still can get around £55-60m total for Azpi and Alonso (a huge drop from the near £90m we could have had for them if we sold them in summer 2018) The bans FUCKED us (ironically helped us overall, IMHO though as crazy as that sounds) on Ferland Mendy and Renan Lodi, and TBH, all this SHOULD have been irrelevant if we had just slammed the deal home in summer 2015 or 2016 or even 2017 and grabbed Alex Sandro (too old to buy now as he turns 30 in the middle of next season) also a brand new option a left footed 20yo CB (4 year starter, since he was 17) Malang Sarr of Nice, who I have been tracking for years as a CB was been switched to LB at times this year nice size (1.82cm) super pace might be worth another (we have scouted him before as a CB) look
