Assuming Bernardo & Gundo stay but Laporte & Cancelo are off - with a chance they may be joined by Phillips, Gomez and even Mahrez - we need top level replacements. Palmer, Lewis & Perrone etc are not ready for our level and ideally all of them need a loan spell to prove their potential with regular Championship or PL minutes. Gvardiol & Kovacic seem the only likely incomings currently but in the above scenario central midfield would not be our priority surely, especially given Foden's likely development in that area? Uneasy. :(

I’d like to see McAtee given the same opportunity that Palmer has been gifted this season (most would say without justification).

Be interested to see what happens with McAtee. From the glimpses of him that I've seen, he looks a better player than Palmer who seems to be lacking an end product. Palmer also makes no secret of telling all who will listen that he is off to the swamp the first time they come calling....

Looking at Sullivan's comments on Rice, he is now expecting the offers to come in. Be surprised if we were to let him go to a rival unless we look to replace gundo with him?

Liverpool have completed a £35m deal to sign midfielder Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton on a five-year contract.

Fuckin stinks that! Absolute bollocks!! Most dodgy deal since Bebe signed for the rags.

I can see people saying that he had a release clause but 1. Why would their owner or chairman put the clause so low? And 2. Why were Liverpool the only team interested

Did McAllister agree to an extension before the World Cup on condition the reserve price was set at a low figure?

Don’t know whether this is a real quote but he can fuck right off of it is.

Not a chance he's quoted that

And there are £20M of add ons as well.

It does seem cheap but I understand if he hadn't have signed the extension to hus contract he'd be free this summer. So Brighton were over a barrell really. Take the low release clause and get up to £55m with a guaranteed £35m or let him go for nothing.

Seems to be a no brainer on the outside

Why no other team interested in a young WC winner at £35m…..?

Maybe he simply wanted to go to the dippers and instructed his agent accordingly?

And refused to negotiate with another club?

Can’t imagine any player just flat out refusing to go to any other club without listening to offers from them. Stinks…

What links to Liverpool have with former Argie players? I could understand it if they had a history of Aguero’s and Zaba’s.

Perhaps it might make it easier for him to get an Irish Passport ? With his Family ties to the Emerald Isle ?

starting to see comments about Mahrez (under contract to 2025) and possible Saudi interest , as well as Bayern. Might be a nice little earner that.

We'll get £12m for him and we'll carry on paying his wages

German champions Bayern Munich have signed midfielder Konrad Laimer on a free transfer from fellow Bundesliga club RB Leipzig.

They’re also signing the LB from Dortmund on a free.

Bit of a joke the German League and how every club takes it up the arse of Bayern.

I’ve never understood the hype around MacAllister. He’s not one who really stood out as decent when I watched Brighton and if you look at how good Cucarella and Bissouma were for them and how shit they have turned out, this could end very badly for the dippers.
Balotelli......that's a brilliant finish.

Agree a decent player, but a replacement for Gundo or Bernie, I don't think so.

Rumours about a big Saudi bid for Mahrez seem very credible. I can imagine he’s pissed off not getting to play in the big games especially if he’s on the bench tomorrow. Whether the Club are prepared to sell him even at a fat price remains to be sign. If Bernardo goes we’d have Foden to play on the Right and maybe Palmer. Or we might go for a wide man with real pace.
