I assume the boy Lavia has a good support network around him because all this ridiculous and quite frankly embarrassing situation Liverpool have programmed, must be frazzling his mind. Southampton have said what they want, Lavia wants to go but LFC keep offering less. Are they trying to get Lavia to force his way out of a 4 year contract by refusing to play? This ain’t going to happen. It seems they want this boy to absorb all the unnecessary stress to aid their bid.

Is anybody really embarrassed?

I find that using an assumption to form an assertion is really unhelpful.

Bayern are pursuing Kane (apparently)
Chelsea are pursuing caiceido (apparently)
Real want Mbappe for free (apparently)
We are pursuing Lavia
We could go on. Not saying it’s normal, wrong or whatever. But not sure it needs the over analysis based on very little facts.

Getting a little embarrassing now! Yes we all like to negotiate however we’ve tried and we’ve been told what they want. The club either need to meet Southamptons valuation or move on. The quicker we can get our targets the better.

Oh, it looks like Jamie Carragher is embarrassed.
Seriously though, I can't say I'm happy with this transfer window yet.
We need a centre half- preferably to play instead of Konate- and a midfielder that can put a challenge in.
This season should tell us a fair bit about the club and its ambitions and being honest, I'm less optimistic about the front players than other posters. Nunez and Diaz still have a lot to prove, for me.
It should be an interesting season anyway.

I think you're right Rigby. Hopefully we'll create lots of chances because Darwin needs plenty of attempts to score goals. I have faith he can reduce the attempts missed, but I have reservations about the intelligence of his play. Quick yes, raw yes, decision making not yet matured.
Dias, on the other hand looks like a whirlwind. Before Gakpo signing I thought he could be at better use in the centre of play, but I've every faith he's going to cause defenders nightmares.
This season though feels abit like a year where we might end up frantically trying to outscore our opposition. It's too early to criticise our back line based on pre-season, but it's logical to say we haven't reinforced that area yet compared to a year ago.

Well that could save our season. Diaz has already been brilliant when fit, but he’ll no doubt be extra determined when he finds out he still needs to prove himself to Rigsby.

Not embarrassed, bored though of “angry” fans! Seen it before and it is amazing how moods swing. There must be a drug the Dr can prescribe?!

Cant see us being able to afford anyone remotely near good enough to push konate to the bench. It'll be a squad filler centrehalf arriving to cover Virg if we end up signing one at all.

That's not like you Rigsby pal. Usually your the optimistic kind. I agree this transfer window hasn't really fixed the problems we had last year. So far we have basically replaced hendo and milner. That's it.

Darwin will hopefully get himself a few goals against the like of Spartak Chernobyl in the Europa and it should do his confidence the world of good. I think that’s the issue with him rather than ability.

thomas, if Diaz only had to prove himself to me, then we wouldn't be European royalty and the stewards would have an easy life ?.

I'm more pessimistic in real life, Magico. I may appear optimistic on here because I don't catastrophise and I don't think we'll be relegated.
Maybe it's an age thing (I'm an old git) but I don't think we are going to spend big money consistently and challenge for the title every season but I'm pleased with what we have achieved under Klopp.

Stick one of the stewards at centre back. Hopefully leaves us alone then ?.

Embarrassed because we just won't pay what another team is asking for lol ok. Suppose there's no point in negotiations anymore we will just have a flat fee and it's either paid or not lol that's the transfer windows solved now.

This is Klopps fault.
He probably tapped up Lavia and now Southampton want the full amount.

There is no other reason that would explain why we keep low balling Southampton and they keep rejecting us. all very unprofessional

Before everyone has a hissy fit. the above is to be read with pure sarcasm and light heartened

Have a great day!
