I think if we do in summer that should be early enough if Luiz leaves us which I hope he wont. Btw Ake has same amount of goals as Willian this season. Edit: a reason might be the looming transfer ban and Ake being hg and suites by Jtd and Tottenham mccg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ay 66 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 If you believe the rumours, Coutinho may be looking for a move with Neymar heading back. Wishful thinking - but I think we should go for him if he’s available. Will add an attacking dimension to our midfield to ease our over-reliance on Hazard to create.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,459 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 If the club is getting anybody, Higuain or anyone else, I really hope they don't wait all the way till deadline day.

Sideshow Luiz 2,310 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Anyone seen Maxi Gomez play? His name is getting some circulation in the "up and coming" conversations. He's got 27G and 10A in 53 matches in La Liga (only 1 of those from the spot). Doesn't seem to get shy when it gets physical either.

I am a tad sketchy on La Liga strikers overall, but he seems real deal. Johnnyeye and Sideshow Luiz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,276 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Liverpool 'closing in on £22m Munas Dabbur transfer' https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/liverpool/transfer-talk/news/liverpool-closing-in-on-dabbur-transfer_346854.html Red Bull Salzburg forward Munas Dabbur has reportedly rejected the chance to join Valencia as he is determined to complete a switch to Liverpool. The Israel international, believed to be valued in the region of £22m, recently hinted that he is eager to join the Reds. No deal has yet been struck between Salzburg and Liverpool, however, and The Star suggests that Valencia tried to pounce by making a move of their own. However, the report indicates that the Premier League leaders remain Dabbur's favoured choice of club and a transfer is drawing "closer and closer". Dabbur scored 27 goals last season to help Salzburg to the Austrian Bundesliga title and has 55 goals in 110 appearances overall since joining from Grasshopper in 2016. snip PLEASE let this be true!!!!!
