If we were going to make a surprise signing I've got two names I think it could be.
First one (& less likely imo) is Mikkel Damsgaard, who seems to be a fairly recent target and we'll probably scout him over a longer period of time to see if he's right for us.
The second one and the one I believe we might go for is Christoph Baumgartner. He's a versatile player having spent time in Midfield and also as a wide forward. Seems like we've had an eye on him for a while and from what I've seen has the talent and attitude to become a top player for us.
Interested to hear what the Eds think the likelihood of either of these 2 players joining Liverpool is.

{Ed002's Note - Mikkel Damsgaard (LW/AM) Spurs asked after a price for the player at the behest of Mr Mourinho who may have taken his interest on to Roma. Now Spurs have lost the plot rather and have made a particularly low offer. If they are serious they will return and make a serious offer. Real Madrid consider him an option at the right price if they sell Isco. Sampdoria saying Southampton and Leeds, and more recently Aston Villa, have all enquired about the availability of the player who only joined last summer. Juventus see him as a potential addition but game time would be restricted. Sampdoria have told Milan that they are not open to being given their "off cuts" in exchange and want a huge cash deal - but Milan would need to sell Leao to bring him in - and they also need the money to complete the Tonali deal. Sampdoria are reluctant to sell but I suspect more clubs will be showing an interest. I expect him to stay another year.

Christophe Baumgartner (AM/CM) Hoffenheim are not looking to sell and his agent has said thaty they will be discussing new contracts for Christoph Baumgartner and Florian Grillitsch with the club very soon. To date three Premier League sides have asked his agent about availability - Spurs, Liverpool and Manchester United.}

Unless a non HG place suddenly comes up we won't be signing anyone.

Good post CS 👌.

Oh Mane…we just sold Shaqiri, that is a non-HG spot opened and I don’t think we will be registering Karius. So a spot to register isn’t a problem, it’s all about financial package for signing.

I think we need to accept the fact the club is skint and we are not signing anyone else. The money raised from sales now will be going toward paying off fees for players already at the club.

Chief scout there is no surprise signing mate. Would if happened before now not the last days. All players linked finishes at the same words of “doesn’t fit within our budget”. We’ve needed to shift some fringe players and reduce the rate bill of which we have done but it’s not enough I’m afraid. C.V. has hit the club hard financially.

I like to do a lot of digging when we are linked with various players, as in watching live games or watching highlight reels online, and also reading lots of news articles & match reports.
I've become 99.9% convinced we will move for Hoffenheim Striker/Winger Kevin Volland, this summer. He is exactly the sort of player I believe Brendan is looking for, to play either as a 2nd Striker, or as a left footer, cutting in from the right, in a 3 pronged attack.
Can the Ed's provide any info on whether i'm barking up the wrong tree, or whether Volland could be a player in Brendans sights?

{Ed002's Note - Juventus has approached Hoffenheim about Kevin Volland but have been rebuffed, at least for now. Arsenal and Wolfsburg have both had Volland watched on more than one occasion. It is thoght that Dortmund may well turn to Volland if they have no success with other targets. I have no idea why you are convinced that Liverpool will look to him.}

IF we do decide to cash in on Suarez in the summer, & i'm not totally against the idea if we got a real top price. Out of interest, who would people like to see us get to partner Surridge next year:

1. Rodrigo - Benfica
2. Heung Min Son - Leverkusen
3. Kevin Volland - Hoffenhiem
4. Luis Muriel - Udinese
5. Alexandre Lacazette - Lyon
6. Mario Balotelli - Milan
7. Romelu Lukaku - Chelsea
8. Other?

Noticed our name linked with Antoine Griezmann the other day. He's been doing really well in Spain recently, and imo would be a better option than Konoplyanka. Do the Eds think he could be on our radar? He's definately gettable, playing for Sociedad, I doubt his wages would be ridiculous either.

P.S Another winger linked, Viktor Fischer, has had an op on his hamstring. He'll miss the start of next season. So i'd imagine that rules him out as a target.

{Ed002's Note - No. Atletico Madrid, Valencia, Marseille, Rennes, Fiorentina and Lyon have shown some interest in Griezmann in the past year and repordedly Barcelona tool a look at one time. Whilst the kid has said on several occasions that he has no plans to leave Spain anytime soon, the financial problems being faced by Real Sociedad may still see him leave the club in the summer. He has had a good season which have led to enquiries being made by Juventus, Arsenal and Chelsea; and Manchester United and PSG having the player watched on more than one occasion.

Viktor Fischer has been subject to recent interest from Milan, Manchester United, Manchester City, Roma and Werder Bremen. Ajax has negotiated a new contract with him but might let him leave as, when fit, he has not been performing at all well. There is a suggestion that Liverpool might be interested but it remains unconfirmed although they have certainly taken a look.}
