Is it too late to outbid mancity for Haaland? Surely we could offer more than his release clause…
Gerrard has allready got the problem of squeezing Mbappe Lewandowski Ings and Watkins into the forward line, I just can’t see Harland being happy on the bench.

He wouldn't even get on the bench if Archer came back, unless we sent Haaland straight back out on loan.

I reckon PNE could live with Haaland on loan for a year if they returned Archer.

1. We seem to have done lots of our business 'on the quiet' so I wonder how many of these names are really targets.
2. I don't get the apparent obsession with Gomez - if we were to buy a CB from L''The Mighty Reds YNWA' I think I'd prefer Phillips; but the must be others that we might buy.
3. Suarez - just, NO!

I don't want either tbh, hopefully it's just lazy journalism given the Liverpool link. I'd have hoped the Rhian Brewster debacle would have put other clubs off signing any of their 'highly rated' youngsters.

As a joke a said to a colleague who is a blue nose that we were looking at signing Lewandowski, he didn't even question it.
That's what happens when you have Gerrard as a manager and you've just signed Coutinho.

Meanwhile he told me that they might sign Diego Costa. I can't say my reaction was the same as his.

I think he means Diego, the lad who works at Costa in Brindley Place.

Well I think we have or are going to try for a lot of those that have been named.
Previously likes of Ward Prowse and Smith Rowe was common knowledge just the Ings and Chambers moves were the opportunistic ones.

There has been so much talk of Gomez, Phillips and Bissouma and was heavy talk for Suarez in winter but think that's the deal that's been done on the quiet as such. And he will be in for summer and signed on free.

Certainly wouldn't be surprised if we signed these players

Birmingham Mail has a story linking us to Jonathan David. I'd be very happy with that, he's a bit raw but young enough to improve a lot and he has serious pace.

Saw that, 43m the fee quoted. Never seen him play so over to Toronto Villa for the scouting report.

Being linked with a move Calvin Bassey to provide competition for Digne.

Shirley we can do better than that?

No, we need him because the diamond formation is forever.

He might have the Midas touch.

A 1-in-3 striker currently. We need some pace. If Bailey comes good next season (a big IF, in my view), the 2 could be interchangeable, both adding pace.

A really top class striker would be nice, don't seem to have one since Yorke. Just talking this morning about the prolific strikers Liverpool have had over the years, Aldridge, Rush, Fowler, Owen, Torres, Suarez, Salah.

Just for a game which one would you take in the prime of the list above
Think it would be fowler for me best finisher it I’ve ever seen
