Hi eds. Anything new on Mikey V? Few reports saying we have spoken with the club?

{Ed002's Note - Maybe, I don’t know I am afraid.}

Thanks Ed. Sounds like a reasonable price if accurate, around 26 million.

Would be delighted if true. Him, Alexis and Thuram would make us competitive again at the very top in my opinion. I think we might surprise a few people. And there's reason to hope we might sign more than just three players.

Missing out on Jude stung, but was he really a Klopp player? For the same price we could have three key signings in place by August.

I don't view it as us missing out - he chose Real. Fair enough. I'd much rather have players who WANT to play for us, ones who buy into the vision going forward, not just thinking of next season (a la Mount - dodged a bullet there methinks! ) or their pay packet.

Jude will be 24 - four years into his six year RM contract - when he moves to Liverpool for a manageable €75M paid by Sheik . Sorry. Been drinking.

Mate I absolutely love these windows of insight into the future. Reconvene here in 4 years, I'd love it to come true.

Does feel like we'll be spending around 100m this summer though, so I'd expect 2 more signings around 35m a piece cm and CB incoming surely. And yes I agree we'll suprise a lot of people next season, younger players finding their groove (Elliot/ Jones) new players adapting (Diaz/ Nunez/ Gakpo) and new blood to add to the squad and push other players to the next level (Mac/ Thuram/ Timber)

Sorry, been drinking too ;)

I love this site ?? ofcourse Bellingham is a klopp type of player and we did miss out on him as we had to prioritise our funds. If we only needed one player we would have went for June but the squad was in need of an overhaul so our priorities shifted.

I for one will be made up if we get another mid a CB and possibly a RB I would really love to see fab replaced with a decent DM and trent possibly moved in to the middle permanently but I'm not the world class manager Klopp is and I'm sure we can trust his transfer dealings, with a couple of exceptions he is a genius when it comes to transfers.

Who was the question about again?

47 - We publicly came out and said we aren't going for him / can't afford him / don't want him. He wasn't given the chance to play for us. How in can you read that as him not choosing us. He literally din't have a choice!

Sorry but who is “Mikey V”?

Mickey Van De Ven. defender. The original question somehow morphed into another Bellingham bore!

We didn't miss out on Bellingham, unless of course he is lying.
Looks like the reason we ended interest was he declared his intent to sign for madrid.

I’m not convinced by him to be honest. Yeah he’s quick, good in a tackle and plays well out from the back, but despite his size the stats say he is surprisingly poor in aerial duals. Something he can work on I suppose if it does come off and admittedly I have no idea of a more realistic or better target for CB. Wait and see I guess.

So apart from the roads, education, law and order and the wine, what have the Romans ever done for us eh Westwood?
