    Is Moussa Dembele any good?

    Poggers going back to Juve would be all sorts of funny. I don't see how that's going to work unless United accept being gypped in some stupid player exchange where all the shit Juve get for nothing is suddenly worth £40m a throw, and even then, nope.

    I was going to say no, but did they both play for Fulham? I think so, yes, the one that went to Celtic for not much as opposed to the (ancient) midfielder.

    Yeah that’s the one, went to Celtic. Hadn’t realised he’d left them.

    Good centre forward. Has the full suite of post-Drogba no. 9 attributes, albeit is less overpowering than some. I’ve seen him in person a few times and each time he’s improved something. Vs Arsenal in pre-season his movement was great, way better than when I’d seen him Scotland. I’m fairly convinced he’ll be a 20 goals a season man if dropped into the Prem. whether the reported fees are worth that is another question.

    20 league goals would make him an elite level striker.

    He's never scored 20 league goals in a season in France, or Scotland, or the Championship, and he plays in a team where Memphis Depay is king. These would all be slight red flags for me

    I should probably qualify that's by 20 goals I mean in all comps - which is Lacazette level, short of elite for me. He's been scoring 1 in 2 at Celtic and Lyon. He arrived at Celtic as a 19 year old to lead the line, and has improved his strike rate at Lyon. At this stage, I'd be very happy if he arrived at the Arsenal.

    That alleged agreed Grealish fee must be about £27.

    Regarding the net debt increase it is understood this was primarily because of investment in players and that the club view the figure as manageable and that the gross debt remains the same.
    Nothing to see here but a headline.

    I feel like the Sancho one is going to drag on into the summer. If I were him I'd be waiting to see who made top 4.

    Could just as easily see him at either Chelsea or United. I'm not sure what level of interest Liverpool or City would have either. Word I hear is that our eggs are in a Werner shaped basket.

    I read that he was meant to be signing for us last year, then our form fell off a cliff and we didn't make the top four, so he had second thoughts.

    He's exactly what we need, so I'd be gutted if we didn't sign him.

    So is Sancho.

    Liverpool do need something to spice up the front 3 a bit, Werner looks a finisher which would be useful. Just get him and Phil Couts back for the lols.

    Liverpool need a stand in for Firmino, a striker that sets up the play for the other forwards and chips in with a few goals.

    There's only one man for the job. Olivier. Giroud.

    For the £50m price tag being mooted he's much more of a Liverpool type signing. Klopps not really been wrong before.

    Personally I'd try and buy both after the money saving that was done last year, but I'm not sure that's sustainable. I think Werner + CB + creative midfield type would be all that we did.

    Then he gets injured for 5-10 games.

    The Liverpool front three never get injured or tired, so they might as well bring Daniel Sturridge back with a decent Fitness Advantage after his gambling ban. Buying some big name forward for 'depth' just rocks the boat, and he would be a tit for joining anyway if Bayern are in for him and would play him more often.

    Bayern burnt their bridges last summer apparently after basically agreeing to sign him then saying "lol no wait a year and we'll sign you for nothing mate" much to Timo's chagrin.

    I don't think anyone would be willing to put enough money down to buy any of Liverpool's front three. They're all great, but, in isolation they're not galatico material. Salah was probably the closest a few years ago but he's settled now and anyone would be mental to be putting the £100M+ it'd take to sign him on the table.

    Where the fuck are Bayern going to play Firmino if they sign him?

    There are only really 2 clubs that can buy any of the front 3. Both the Spaniards and one of them is restricted from doing so until I believe 2021.

    It'd be madness to sell any of them after finally reaching the top of the game. Most seem to say they'd like to sell Salah if any of the 3 and they're mental. He's been top scorer, for club and league for the past 2 seasons and could well do it again this. The only difference between now and when he first arrived is everything then flew into the top corner, now he's much more human.

    There is scope for Werner to play in a 4-2-3-1 with the other 3 still involved. Same for Sancho if you think that would be on. The former seems desperate for the move which would need to be done in March to be done on the cheap.

    People over-rate the idea of a squad/2 players for every position. There's no team that were any good where you couldn't name 10/11 of the starting XI every week. Anelka had Cristopher Wreh,, Henry had Sylvain Wiltord, Drogba had Salomon Kalou. Football Manager has rotted fans brains.

    It was pretty much even in the 2000/01 season when Sheringham was top scorer.

    I reckon there's a bit of a Fergie effect going on with Klopp and at least some of these players. Making them look a lot better than they are through organisation and motivation.
