From rumours looks like Liverpool are trying to lineup like this next season:

Alisson

Alexander-Arnold Lovren van Dijk Robertson
Fabinho Keita
Salah Fekir Mane
Firmino​

Don't know if they've been linked with any defenders but those three (four with Keita who they've already signed) names alone would upgrade their side massively.

Reality: Karius still in goal, Salah sold to Madrid, Fabinho to Atletico.
 
That’s 200M (70 Alison, 60 Fabinho and 70 Fekir). Add in the close to 60M they’re paying for Keita and I’d say they haven’t really got that much money.
They got 70M+ from making the CL final alone and a lot of money from finishing high in the PL so they do have the money to spend on those three players if FSG will free it up. The money for Keita and van Dijk was pretty much covered by selling Coutinho.

You still have Lovren in the team :lol:
 
Will be good signing for those cnuts.

FSG won’t release that kind of outlay, they never have done unless player sales go through first. Can’t see them spending £200M on those 3 without even getting cover for Firmino, another winger and touching their defence. Not happening.
 
Thought Athletico were signing him for 35m Euros? I'm always hearing reports he's close to signing for someone or another so i can't get too excited yet.
 
Yeah. Don't think they've been linked with a CB and Matip has been worse.

Liverpool fans have been complaining about Lovren for 3 years now...one good game in the CL won't change that. As long as he is in there they will not accomplish anything.

Looks like Atleti have been gazumped.
 
@Damien i do hope Liverpool line up like that because Fabinho and keita will get overrun by any team that plays 3 in the middle. Keita has very low discipline defensively.

FSG won't need to put their hands in their pockets. Prize money from CL and PL alone will fund that spending spree and they were after Keita and van Dijk last summer before Coutinho was even linked with a move away. I do think they have the cash.

They made it to the CL final with him. That is a pretty damn big accomplishment. Goalkeeper is their biggest issue by far in defence..

On paper that’s a pretty scary looking prospect except for Lovren of course. Keita and Fabinho being upgrades of Henderson and Milner.
 
A great statement of intent so soon after the Final defeat.I hate that club but that's the way to go to get over that upset and to let their fans know they want to go one better next season.

You clearly haven't seen Keita play if you think a team with him and Fabinho in will get overrun :D

A champions league final is not an accomplishment, at a stretch multiple deep runs into the CL is an accomplishment. Winning the league is an accomplishment, winning cups is an accomplishment.

Klopp is not managing Burnley or West Brom, he has spent a fair amount of money at Liverpool and looks to be spending a lot more money this summer.

I’ve seen him play, switching to a 4231 with those as the 2 centre mids is a horrible move.
 
The scousers setting the pace early on, the midfield is a problem position for them which they look to be addressing early.. I hope we follow and strengthen our weaknesses sooner rather than later. Especially being a World Cup year.
 
So we are believing this then?
Thing is, links to United can be unrealistic because we're the club agents and clubs link players to in order to gain interest in them.

When a player is linked to Liverpool, it's probably just because he is going to Liverpool
 

It’s done. His wife was supporting Liverpool in the CL final.
 
I wouldn't assume that they play like that just because they sign Fekir. In reality even if all 4 attackers stay fit, they will need some rest and he can rotate one of them out for each match, or just add a 3rd CM when needed.

They've got to replace Can, and Fabinho is probably the Can replacement.
 
Hasn't seen him play but should be a good signing for 50m Euros, they needed the numbers in midfield.
 
Will be a great signing for them not going to lie. More pressure on Jose now as Liverpool are going to be alot stronger next season.
 


Yep, deal agreed. Unless we hijack the deal - it's looking like he will end up at Liverpool.

Good player and a good signing.
 
Liverpool actually pulling their finger out and signing decent players these past few windows.
