Summer Transfer Thread 24/25

It looks like we are still trying to strengthen, but I can't say I am overly excited by our targets.

De Ligt and Mazraoui from Bayern, Sander Berge, Dumfries? All pretty well known players, and not entirely dissimilar to signings under the previous regime.

Yoro and Zirkzee are more interesting, pity about Yoro's injury.

Zubimendi would be good, a relatively mobile and composed defensive midfielder.

I do appreciate it's tricky to sign lots of new players in one window though.
 
Indeed, not sure I'd be using Mark Goldbridge for reliable and balanced reporting.

I think the business has been fine so far, I'd rather they were cautious. Also, there needs to be a focus on offloading players too. Equally important.
 
And the mystery number 6 Liverpool are after is......Zubimendi. Whenever we brief a name to the press either that transfer is all but done or it's just a smokescreen and we'll quickly announce the signing of somebody else. Either way I suspect we'll have a new DM sometime in the next few days.
 
By all accounts to he's rejected a fair few big clubs in the past few seasons, we must be fairly confident/had encouragement if his name is being leaked

Twitter does seem to confirm this;)

Wonder if Endo will stay, seen rumours is interest in him.
 
I imagine the club will be trying their best to convince him to move on. You only had to look at the few games in the US to see that he's got little chance of featuring, even before factoring in the possible arrival of Zubimendi. Despite being the only natural number 6 on the tour he was still be picked behind Jones, Szobo and Gravenberch and when he did play, he really struggled with what Slot wants from that position.
 
Due to that stupid times of the matches I’ve only managed to catch high lights of our pre season but I’d read he hadn’t done that well

That being said Endo took awhile to adjust to Klopp demands maybe he needs more time

However if he goes I’m not worried about depth there as have plenty plus Bajectic is back now so he could fill in
 
Looks like Zubimendi could be coming in after accepting Liverpool, will be a bit of a coo if we get this over the line as he’s already turned down Bayern and Arsenal.
 
We have made a complete mess of things for years but our fans want us to:

Clear out the deadwood but also get money for them so we can bring new players in
Persuade clubs buying them to pay their inflated salaries
Not buy players if they get injured for us (captain hindsight)
Not overpay for players instantly but also bring in top talent for good prices
Not give in to clubs who see us as a payday but also buy their players off them easily.

Its going to take 2-3 years of sensible behaviour in the market to come close to fixing out deep rooted issues. Its going to be rocky and messy at times and its not going to go well at times. The best we can hope for this coming season is top 4, playing some better football and keeping the squad fit. We can talk about how things are being handled in a few years.

I agree but given the leadership have no faith in the manger I'm not sure that's how they see things.

Zubimendi would be a great signing to start the Slot regime - lovely passer, breaks play up well, moves well.
