Would anyone on here have any idea of what fee Benfica are asking for Nunez? I’ve read reports that we’re definitely interested but are not prepared to get into a bidding war. I certainly hope we can work our magic on this one 🤞ðŸ».
{Ed002's Note - I would not hold your breath.}

Regrettably he’s probably going to United. Hopefully he’ll join their graveyard of failed strikers.

Ed in you're opinion are we more inclined to pursue players who have potential at the more affordable range as apposed to finished articles or ridiculous priced.
{Ed002's Note - It is the players that are important.}

Hi Ed, hope you’re keeping well? Are we interested in any forwards in particular, seems like the majority of names mentioned like Nunez, Raphinha, Nkunku and Dembele are seemingly of no interest or headed elsewhere. Not sure if the list has been covered already or you could give a brief outline.
{Ed002's Note - Of those, every club in Europe would take Nunez - but Liverpool will not stretch to him. Raphinha would be of interest but is in talks with another side. Nkunku is of interest to many, but a move to Liverpool is not on the cards. Dembele is of interest.}

Sounds like at least one, if not all parties are disinterested in the possibility of Nunez to Liverpool.

Sounds like we need to find more forwards to ask about chaps after this good summary from Ed002.

Word is that Raphinha has said he has no interest in joining us and only wants Barca.
Notwithstanding that, imagine not being interested in Nunez or Nkunku but taking an interest in a crock like Dembele. Utter facepalm moment there. It would be hilarious if it wasn’t for the fact it’s probably true.

Who said we don’t have any interest in Nkunku or Nunez? It seems that we have but that we have placed a value on them - certainly on Nunez, that we are not prepared to exceed and which might be exceeded by other clubs who place a different value on the player.
Imagine how stupid we would look to everybody running the club on a sound financial footing. It almost makes you wonder how we got to 3 cup finals (out of three competitions entered) and were, in effect, one goal from Aston Villa in the last match of the season away from winning the PL.
These are dark days indeed for the club.

Thanks for the info Ed (even if it’s bad news)
I’m telling you reds, right winger incoming and Salah through the middle 🤦ðŸ»â€â™‚ï¸.

Baffles me that year on year we have naysayers honestly upset with how we go about our transfer business and when the season is in full flow…. they don’t seem as gobby.
Nunez looks like a Torres level player to me. He’s one I would love to go for, but if we can’t afford it we will have to struggle on with a side who many feel are the best in the world.
I mean, we are an Everton penalty in the last minute away from being a domestic treble winning side.
{Ed001's Note - obviously a relegation battle must be looming for next season then when you put it like that! I don't get why people are so stressed about transfers when Klopp extended. That is the only thing that matters.}

We’re 12/ 1 to sign dembele
We’re 6/ 4 joint favourites to sign Nunez
We’re 3/ 1 for raphinha
According to ed002 we’ve no chance with Nunez and raphinha so dembele got to be worth £20 flutter 🤣🤣🤣🤑.

Missing out on the big two trophies by such fine margins does this to you. Feeling anxious about how we will make that marginal gain through recruitment is why we call it "silly season "right? .

It’s silly season because people are stupid.
How many people lamented the fact we didn’t sign Saul Niguez or Sancho, before that Pepe or Fekir.
Every year we are told we are being left behind because Arsenal, Everton, United and Spurs are spending cash to correct massive errors previously made.
We don’t require root and branch surgery every window because we have a staggeringly high success rate with our signings.
Massive expenditure is equated with guaranteed success for some people, yet year on year it doesn’t pan out like that…. and yet we endure the same bleating.
