    Frankfurt sell really really well, espcially their strikers. I can see them pricing Ekitike out of a move this summer.

    I think Sesko is the one. Liverpool have a good relationship with Leipzig and Red Bull's football operations is run by a certain German who spent 9 years on Merseyside.

    But who knows, there are many options all of whom apart from Isak leave questions but are attainable.

    I like Sesko but not sure on his all round game like I am Eketike and say João Pedro (who would cost a bomb)

    He played 30 games in the League last season, and is at 31 this season.

    I thought it would need more time, into next season, before Evanilson started popping up on radars. Compared to various others here already attracting the interest. But yeah I think Evanilson is heading in that direction, and whilst I think you're premature I don't think you're mad.

    It's a cliche but he'd do better in a better team. I'm quite happy with him replacing Solanke with change to spare, despite me thinking the absolute world of Dom.

    Because it touches on the subject just being discussed, namely Isak to Liverpool. I simply found it funny because we all know it won't happen.

    And scoring at better than a goal every other game kind of stuff. 7th fastest player ever to 50 PL goals.

    Injuries are just not a reason not to buy him.

    They are a factor when there's a pattern.

    Let's be honest here. Newcastle are not going to sell anyway.

    The fee is going to be massive but as a speed based player having a pattern of groin injuries isn't ideal.

    The fee and those injuries together are an issue. His goals are not.

    The truth is Newcastle moved for him and paid a big fee that probably put others off so they are reaping the reward.

    As much as they play the poor mouth card they simply won't sell

    the Isak "always injured" tune is played regular and often off key

    - 26 in September
    - first three league campaigns with Newcastle scored 10 in 22, 21 in 30 and current 22 in 31 (goals in league apps)
    - 61 goals in 106 apps in all competitions, may not seem a lot (of apps) but only had one European campaign

    Liverpool would definitely take him, I think he would consider the move BUT Newcastle may not sell at all even at silly money. I mean add him to Salah and that is one mean Slot machine, at Newcastle his future is less obvious other than regular starts but he'd get those pretty much anywhere

    absolutely, the fee IF Newcastle were to sell him would be the obstacle and Liverpool according to beeb article are looking at pretty strengthening much every position

    that is probably they don't know, other than TAA is likely to clear off, and they can write more words on half a dozen players and score more hits for any they are right with than guess at a small handful - like buying more lottery tickets, may give you more chance but unless you know what the numbers are going to be, or get lucky, 3, 6, 9 or 12 won't guarantee jackpot

    and the media are rather sore in the rear area from speculating on who Liverpool might by last summer, Liverpool were quiet in the market for so long and they did not like that. Champions don't have to buy lots of players to win the league, mancs signed only Carrick in 06/07 to go from 2nd to champions, and again in 08/09 whilst already champions (and Liverpool "only" third last season) mancs added few players with just Berbatov* as a key signing in 08/09 on their way to retaining the league title

    *of key household name and featuring much signings, signed Rafael and Fabio who made 12 league apps between them


    as it is the key to Liverpool's title this season was maintaining consistency, slight improvement on last season, citeh nosediving after 9 games and not climbing back up near quick enough, and Arsenal consistency being to finish 2nd (citeh were top, W7 D2 L0, then W1 D2 L6 pretty much took them out of realistic contention, whilst Liverpool maintained consistency within a few points from corresponding results 24/25 vs 23/24)


    will Liverpool need signings to defend the title well? citeh, assuming they are let off the 115 hook, will come back strong next season, won't Rodri the wonder dog be back and allegedly he is the magic formula even though they've won plenty of games without him and they ought to afford plan B rather than throw money where it isn't needed. If Nunez is on his way which looks like Slot decided early in his tenure then could be looking at 1-2 forwards, Chiesa hasn't been used much at all, midfield looks reasonably stocked, Robertson has been disappointing (no goals or assists in the league 24/25) and question marks over Bradley stepping up. Kelleher may well be on his way out with a new back up keeper splashed out on, a back-up CB may be needed if Gomez remains injured and Quansah not fully trusted
