We need Real Madrid or Barca to come in for Salah or Mané next summer 😂

Nope. I want them to keep their star until 33 when they have 0 value and they have to rebuild from 0.

Lammers has made his dream transfer from PSV to Atalanta. Tomorrow he will go to Italy. PSV received €10m (bonuses included).

Thiago is an excellent signing and adds something creatively that the Liverpool midfield lacks which is almost purely built on a workmanlike mentality to help the front three and full backs flourish.

It will be interesting how important Firmino remains with this. Is his ability to drop deep and link the player still needed with this purchase, and if not he may come under much more scrutiny for the lack of consistency he has as a goalscorer.

I'm still amazed they passed up the opportunity to buy Werner. I understand the current economic situation regarding Covid but they haven't really spent anything for the last 2 summers and won trophies in that time, surely the money was there to add a couple of players and in particular when Werner was so reasonably priced.

However the one thing to note about the Thiago signing is he's 30 years old in about 6 months time. Perhaps there is a mentality there to add on what they have now and win as much as they can over the next couple of seasons but the team isn't getting any younger with this signing. It reminds me of the Chelsea team at the start of the decade. It had been left to grow old together and whilst we still won trophies, it reached a point where we had to replace a number of key players all within the space of a year or two. Liverpool if they're not careful will find themselves in the same position because Van Dijk, the entire first choice midfield and front line are all of a similar age within a year or two of each other. They are in their prime now, but we've seen ourselves how quick that prime can drop off suddenly. 

I am not sure what do you mean how thiago impact firmino game, very little imo. 

 

In term of Werner it is obvious without covid, he is a pool player but pool don't want to pay his release clause.

I think the key question from this Thiago signing is that whether wijnaldum is being moved this season.

Liverpool have enquired about Ismaila Sarr and discussed his situation with Watford, who want £36m for the 22-year-old Senegal international striker. (Mail)

Could see him becoming the next Sane at pool. Wouldn’t mind Sarr here at all.

Thiago is an annoyingly fantastic signing for Liverpool and one who makes them easily the heavy title favorite. If they weren't already. Can see them performing similarly to last season where they only lose a few times the whole year assuming they stay fit. He adds a new dimension to their team and allows them to play in a different way.

I'm just glad he went to a team that's already dominant rather than United who he would've taken up several levels. 

Guess Liverpool want to win and win now but that's another old player in their books. Thiago is already 29 and doesn't have the cleanest of injury record. They are gonna have a big rebuilding job to do soon enough.

Where we got used to willing and sacked managers that stopped delivering the Dippers dont mind bringing in experience players wise.

Ive always been of a mind that at 30 players slow down. But I know in my personal situation Im fitter now than Ive ever been.

Ive become more open minded in SOME positions age is just a number and experience wins over/ A good mixture of old,potential and top class is necessary.
IMVHO of course.

But yes they do look like theyre going to need a major overhaul shortly. Maybe they sell a load and use the money?
