Wonder if they have any midfielders available (the last one we got from Lyon turned out to be pretty good)...considering we're short in midfield heading into next season. 

Maxence Caqueret is pretty good there. Bit of a golden oldie by our current standards though as he's 23.

They have quite a strong group of young players at various positions.

U21 tourneys are  becoming our a more important scouting venue for us than the senior tourney at this rate lol

Still weird that so many 23yo can play at so called u21 tournaments. Maybe rebrand the thing. Biannual major tournaments are a weird thing when you have annual age brackets anyway.

So, that's Poch through the door, now just some players next and hopefully pretty quickly.

This Caicedo deal is dragging on even with reports of us now speaking with Brighton supposedly. 

Looks like Azpi and Baba are out the door next, but the door seems to be only swinging one way at the moment, chop chop Chelsea

Isn't it based on the year you were born when qualification started?

Looks as though Pulisic will refuse the move to Lyon and only wants Milan. But it’s hard for me to imagine the club accepting just the €14m Milan have offered and rightly so. He’s worth much more than that.

[Special Juan 27,424]

Pulisic won't have any say if the club are happy with Lyon's price, Milan can't get anywhere near it

And people say player power doesn't exist at this club. Third player to supposedly do that.

I mean, we can’t really force a player to go somewhere he doesn’t want to. But at the same time he can’t force us to accept a laughable price from the one club he want to go to.

This is the problem with us signing so many average players who THINK they’re stars. When we try to move them on they think they’re too good for these smaller clubs.

A simple ultimatum would do: Milan must match Lyon's bid or you're off to France if he's dead-set on leaving.

I think it says more about their priorities, tbh. You only have one career, so if they wish to waste it away on our bench, it's their loss at the end of the day.

How much would Cherki be?

[bluesman2610 1,341]

Apparently Gladbach only want €30m for Manu Kone. With reports Klopp wants him to finish his midfield rebuild. Where are these Scot’s that unearth these gems?

We should be in the mix for those fees.

[Special Juan 27,424]

Liverpool have just bought Szbozolai, McCallister and and now in talks for Lavia, so Thurham and Kone cant be in the picture anymore.

I feel an Ornstein bomb coming in the next few hours

[Pizy 18,368]

I’m gonna die of old age by the time we sign a midfielder. 💀💀💀
