Hi eds,

Fantastic signing in Thiago think he will really give us that extra edge with his passing and creativity.

I know that we are still looking at a forward potentially sarr of watfor. However, I have seen a few rumours (albeit Twitter) stating we could be looking at Jota of wolves. Have you heard anything?

I don't think a winger would affect Elliott at this tim but would spell the end for shaqiri and I know we are looking to off Wilson aswell. So we would have Origi, Jota/ sarr, minamino, Elliott as back up for the front three

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any approach for Jota.}

Thanks for the reply ed.

Do you think Sarr is the one then? Or is there any others we may take a look at?

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool need to make space in the squad and raise money. Ismaila Sarr (RW/LW/F) has had a disrupted season after moving from Rennes and has become available with Watford being relegated and Wolves have enquired after him - wanting to be kept informed just in case Adama Traore is sold. Crystal Palace have him on their list of potential Wilfried Zaha replacements, but he is not their first choice, although they could turn to him if their first choice heads elsewhere. Liverpool are interested inasmuch as he is another player like Adama Traore that Klopp has had his timgue down the throat of, but whilst he would make a good replacement for Shaqiri condideration would need to be given to (a) would Sarr want to limit his playing time to that which Shaqiri gets, (b) he is not Home Grown, (c) he would block Harvey Elliott's progression, (d) he would cost £40M or thereabouts, and (e) like the last few players asked about, would depart for AFCON when it happens as he is Senegalese. I am not aware of any approach to Watford by Liverpool or Manchester United, but either club may have spoken with his agent. If Mane or Salah were to leave LIverpool, it makes a great deal more sense and would provide the funding. If Manchester United are done with Sancho it would be another option. Cristiano Giaretta has arrived and it is unclear what his remit will be - and Watford don't need the cash so cannot be forced into a cheap sale.}

Who knows what will happen but after Thiago I don't see us raising enough funds for more players, time will tell of course but should Thiago be the last signing, I'm alright with that. We have our cover for lb and Thiago. That'll suit us down to the ground. We aren't in NEED of anybody else Imo.

It will depend on the future of Shqiri, Wilson, and Origi.

I’m still concerned about CB personally but it doesn’t seem like we’ve registered any concrete interest in any at this time, so maybe we have favoured going for a forward instead of a CB, because first choice CB cost more than 4th or 5th choice forwards. I just hope we manage to move on the fringe players that can bring in a decent fees (Wilson, Grujic, karius, potentially Shaqiri even though I’d like to keep him and see him used far more than he has been) .

We should have sold more players earlier, not loads, but Wilson, Shaq attack could have been sold. It's weird about shaq, because I like him as a player, but he doesn't really seem part of our plans, so move him on.
