Hazard champions league bonus money for the transfer kitty, Tuchel will be pleased with Klopp tonight.

Reports suggest this could be as high as 20m.

Source is tier 3 Spanish paper Mundo Deportivo which is pro-Barca but still unreliable for Barca news. 

Yes, but it depends on who is the journo. Mundo have few decent journos for Barca like Edu Polo and Ferran Martinez.

Planted by his agent as a nudge to Barca and others? Anyway, I'd be pleased if it's true.

Reports in France suggest us and Atletico Madrid are interested in Jonathan Clauss. Around €6-7m, Tuchel apparently a fan from his time in France.

Thought I heard Inter were struggling financially still? How would they afford Lukaku?

Either by loan or a swap deal? Even Inter journo said Lukaku returning to Inter needs a miracle.

OF course it will need miracle to ship him. It was so obvious last season that if he came he would be unmovable. 30 years never good enough on the top level  past it striker with 325 000  a week salary. Why would Inter or Milan want him. To eliminate them from CL group stage again? Who knows would Inter face Liverpool if they played Lukaku in the group stage. They wont lose millions with him again. 

Our only hope was Broja to shine and to sideline that finger pointing talentless footballer. But that doesn't seem likely at all.

I can't stress enough how much damage has been done to this club by previous management. Let this sink in: We have spent Hazard's money and bonuses on Lukaku's  transfer fees and wages. Damage is already done and it will take years to recover from atrocious decisions made by this board, even with new owners. We are already set for middle of the table and only miracle will get us Wenger's trophy.

It's somewhat superficially discussing manager who has at best midtable team on his hands. We overachieved this season. We overachieved the last season. Can we do it again? Now when bad decisions seem to catching up with us.

Unlikely, unless Tuchel is genuinely interested in Barella/Bastoni

[Pizy 17,860]

Mané leaving Liverpool it looks like. May mean more competition for any attackers we may also be interested in. Firminho will probably go as well.

So we should probably kick things into gear ASAP this coming week before bidding wars start. They’ll probably be looking at Dembele and Nkunku.

Brennan Johnson playing today for Forest would be my under the radar signing for our front three,although would only do that if we also got someone more proven at a higher level.i think he’s gonna command a much larger fee in the next year to 18months..if Forest go up today they may not be willing to lose him but if they don’t maybe we could get him for a reasonable price. Not a priority signing but the kind of player the likes of Dortmund would sign now and sell for 3,4,5 times more in a couple of years.(though we wouldnt have to sell like they often do)players on the rise before they reached their peak is way we should go with majority of our signings imo

I am starting to think my twitter feed is gaslighting me to believe this is really going to happen.

 

[ZAPHOD2319 3,870]

Some specifics coming out that the negotiations are currently at 2 year loan with obligation to buy €50M. Lukaku would agree to lower his salary.

If lukaku really leaves, which i am still sceptical about, it is incredible how many players we will need in summer.

2cbs, 1  cm/dm, 1-2 strikers if werner also leaves, reckon at least 1 winger/am will leave so that's another one, at least 1wing back backup; if kepa leaves 1 backup goalie

Dont remember us signing this many players in a window since 2014. Biggest rebuild in over a decade anyway. No wonder TT has cancelled vacation plans. At least it is a fun job he got at his hands.

But the worst part is this rebuiild is not a consequence of a natural ageing process but a huge systemic failure in contract management and recruiting policy

Imagine if this was one of the many summers where we would also be seeking a new manager. 😱😱😱
