Can people stop this already? Arnautovic/mandzukic are squad players for us while Fabinho is a first team player. If Liverpool would buy a squad player it would be worse than Arnautovic.

Lukaku a laughingstock I must have missed that on my travels.
Think it’s more City have Augero and Jesus whilst we are signing guys who are not wonder kids or costing £50m+ To satisfy the lust on here for Uber talented youngsters. But if you look at last season when we lost Lukaku as much as we all wanted Rashford to be our 9 he was a mile off in the games. Mandzukic and Arni would have been a much better fit for us as they are better than Rashford at 9. Although I’m not a massive fan of Arni signing he’s a very decent player who would upgrade our squad no doubt. Hopefully we get someone in but if we are working to a budget and have some lined up in other areas who can blame our manager for upgrading for Arni to give him options plus he brings a skill set we don’t have and that’s someone to hold the ball up and a physicality of the bench we will miss if Fellaini leaves.
"A clause in Dalot's contract will allow the Portugal Under-21 international to leave for €20 million from June 1.
But with a host of Europe's top clubs chasing the teenager, sources have told ESPN FC that United are prepared to offer a higher fee to convince Porto to sell before the clause is activated. Sources have told ESPN FC that Bayern Munich and Barcelona are among the clubs interested."
(the alleged offer that was turned down by Lazio last summer)

Think Liverpool will end up paying the release clause of Alisson and Real getting Courtois for a cut down fee or for free next summer.
I also think players running down their contract is going to become the norm. I expect a couple of our players to do the same and move for free next summer, Herrera being one.
I think it will be the norm every two years. In seasons before WC/EC, the club and manager can simply use that to force the players hand and sign a new contract. If they want to go to the WC/EC, they've got to play. And they won't play unless they sign a new contract. Didn't LVG do that with De Gea?
No? LVG was selling De Gea, thankfully the fax machine came to our rescue and he signed a new contract.
He is very hipster in the hipster team of the season right now so this was always gonna be the case.
Come on Liverpool, buy Cilessen.
Yes, ofc i remember that. But we were only selling De Gea because his contract was running out, and he could sign with Madrid in January. And LVG benched him for the first game of the season IIRC, because he refused to sign a new contract. When the deal with Real fell through/ fax machine came to our rescue, LVG forced De Geas hand to sign a new contract.
How was he forced to sign a new contact? Weird made up narrative.
Hey now, I'm only remembering the headlines/stories from that time. And he was forced by "You sign a contract, or you stay on the bench. I only play motivated players. Good luck in the Euros.".,
Edit: He awas actually omitted from the first 6 games of the season because of the transfer/contract saga.
dont dismiss everything, just reacting to a post like that. These so called journalists are believed everything while guessing or writing general things 90% of times especially that journo which makes them sort of all mighty. Simply dont understand why people believe him a thing when he clearly knows very little. As a journalist and a student of journalism myself I simply dont trust them. I aint saying that he doesnt have connection somewhere but some of the stuff these guys write is just laughable..
I don't really buy these Arnautovic links either. Why would Jose need to scout him in a friendly?? We played West Ham less than a month back. Jose could have scouted him in that match if he was so interested.
I am just reporting what I seen mate. Thought this was where you put these stories. I don't believe myself until the club announces it.
Re Lampard at Derby.
Listening to the radio last night there was a large vein of thought from both 'experts' and fans that this was an incredible risk for Derby because of his lack of first team management experience.
However, for the past week, Slippy going to Rangers, has on the whole been lauded as an astounding coup for the Scottish club and the answer to all their prayers.
Strange world.

This made laugh. I'm inclined to agree.
If true we should go all in for Thiago
Only 27 too. Keeps ''Dont sign old players' brigade happy too.
If he was 28 they wouldn't want him. feck them.
He only has a year left on his contract as well, hasn't he?
Esit: Nevermind, his contract runs until 2021.
Resorting to making things up. Agenda posting at it's finest.
Hmnnn, very interesting idea.
De Gea didn't want to play because of the uncertainty of his future but still trained with the first team. LVG said the same. After the window closed Del Bosque said he needs to play. De Gea signed a contract then. It was nothing to do with us putting pressure on him.
Maybe we didn't put pressure on him, but the situation certainly inclines it was pressure of some sort.
What does worry me, is that his current contract runs out next summer.
He's been posting that bollocks for a year now, in thread nothing to do with Lukaku, when the talk isn't about Lukaku.
Yeah people are balking at the 50 million fee but its not about how much he is worth to United but the real worth to West Ham to replace him. We should just move on, we're not going to get him for the kind of price we'll want to pay for a backup striker.
