The Independent reporting we are 'advancing' for Doucoure.

If true I think he would be a very good addition, looked very impressive in his debut season and won POTY.

Only downside is we have left it a bit late for Palace to get a replacement so they are probably going to rinse us for every penny.

We have a 110 million so if possible sangare and cheik doucore would be great in the defensive midfield positions, i don't care how good he has been but we need a replacement for robbo in this new role.

At this point we need to forget about the money I think. We’re going to have to pay through the nose so I’m more bothered about whether he’s the right fit, which I think he absolutely is. We need a 6 and he fits the bill so if it’s £70m then we just need to pay.

I have no idea about Doucoure but hope that if he does come that Bajcetic isn’t forgotten.

Doucoure is the best of the remaining options, if we want someone to hit the ground running.

I think Bajcetic has the advantage of being fairly versatile so I'm sure he will still get his opportunities in CM and DM (and previously CB) in a season where we could be playing 60+ games.

He is a cracking player. A non nosnesne out and out DM. will sit there and stop all the attacks. Not going to do any fancy turns or tricks And I am personally very happy with this choice.

Habibi- I think he’s a little better than you give him credit for, he’s not bad on the ball. I just can’t see in this situation how we don’t end up paying £60m as a minimum, more likely £70/ 80m, not the reported less than £50m.

Good player but in their opening game his midfield partner, Lerma looked much the better player. The right sort of player to free up Mac Allister though to go more box to box in that midfield duo. Hopefully Chelsea don't get involved ?.

@faith. I believe he's seen more of an attacking player. He just excelled in the defensive midfield when asked to play.
I am certain to see him playing an attacking role once fully fit with the possibility of filling in defence duties if need be.

Advancing for him? Is Jorge waiting round the corner from his house with a box of Milk tray?

Faith why would it impact Bajetic? You do realise we need a DM immediately.

I see more of a crab like movement from a few members of staff as a startled Doucoure's ears pricks up and he tries to gambol away.

we need Doucoure and I have heard that he is happy to come to Liverpool, sign him up, just under 60 million, giving us some change to bring in a LCB,
Happy Days .

Baj will be just fine, he will get plenty of game time, this time, don't rush him .

He can also play center half makes perfect sense to me.

Doucoure is good! I have never lost confidence in Jörg Schmadtke, FSG and transfer team!

Did chelsea get mixed up on which player we contacted crystal palace about?.

{Ed002's Note - The embarrassment just won’t stop. Are you all intent on looking stupid?}

haha good one John! I can honestly say that I've not seen much of Doucoure, though there is obviously a pressing need for a DM, and if he's as good as others have suggested then I'm happy. Also, Liverpool need to take their business back behind closed doors, no more embarrassment please! XD.

Ed002, are we not allowed to have a joke on here anymore?

{Ed002's Note - Of course but all of this is demonstrating ignorance or stupidity. We have been through those who think the Saudi PIF are the secret owners of Chelsea, and the many, many fans who think Saudi Arabia is in Europe and we are now on to those that think Liverpool showed interest in and made offers for players before Chelsea.}

Or maybe some people just want to have a bit of a laugh oh2. Ah well so long as we all don’t mind being insulted for it. I for one am not bothered about jibes from keyboard warriors. This forum has always been like that and it doesn’t look like it’s going to change anytime soon. Just ignore it.

@Westwood, I get what you're saying but poor ed2.He has to deal with loads of nutters and it must take its toll.
The dudes not even paid for his work. He bends over backwards to keep us informed.
I can totally understand why he gets annoyed at us fans.

I think the problem is we don’t get to see all post that come in so that leads to only part of the thread. Believe it or not even I have posted stuff that the Ed’s have decided not put thru. I know shocking but that’s the way it is folks. But I also understand the Ed’s get more abused than they should.
