Hi Ed's,

As always thank you for your hard work.

It's becoming increasingly frustrating to see teams signing players and Liverpool being completely stagnant. is it solely that we have zero money and must sell in order to buy? I complained earlier in the year that these actions from our owners are not conducive to allowing us to continually challenge. all of the ex-players who are now pundits have also been suggesting that the Liverpool of old, after being so successful would continue to strengthen and I just get to feeling everyone is strengthening and we are not, which is a worry - also still no Gini Wijnaldum replacement is extremely concerning.

{Ed002's Note - Konate has signed. Liverpool are working on renewing contracts.}

Give the club a break. The Euro’s have just finished and I imagine we’re working hard to conduct deals. If the transfer windows shuts and we’re still in the same position, I, like many, will share your sentiment.

Original poster - Fabhino came out of the blue along with Jota, the transfer window is far from over.

The transfer window is open for several weeks and the Euros have only just finished. Liverpool will not give daily updates on who they may sign.
You cannot complain that the club have failed to strengthen, when nobody knows if that is the case yet. Liverpool have already signed Konate and apart from Sancho, our rivals have done very little business too.

Same convo every transfer window and it always ends well so have a little faith. repeating the same post again and again is tiresome for me, let alone the eds.

To the best of my knowledge, only sancho to utd is confirmed, everyone else is still trying to make signings (of the top 4, I mean) . We signed konate early as a cb was our priority, and now we have to balance making sales with buying players. Nothing frustrating there.

{Ed002's Note - There have been a few others, but not many yet. Far more departures.}

From what Ed002 has described (and correct me if i’m wrong) the chronological order of our itinerary seems to be as follows:

1) Contract renewals for Fabinho, Alisson and van Dijk
2) Sales of fringe players
3) Use funds raised to sign a centre forward who can cover the wings as well
4) See where we’re at with finances and use any remaining funds to sign a midfielder if possible

All of which i completely understand and as much as i want us to sign shiny new players, retaining and rewarding these lads who have given us so much will always be the top priority and rightly so.

{Ed002's Note - 2 and 1 can obviously be undertaken together.}

just because we don't know what is going on behind the scenes doesn't mean the club is being completely stagnant. they aren't going to give a play by play of every conversation they are having. i'm sure they are all working extremely hard behind closed doors. we'll know something when the club wants us to know something.

Transfer fever.
Who cares what other clubs are doing or how much they are spending?

17 Jul 2021 16:56:14
I can certainly see why you’d be frustrated, Liverpool have only signed one player when teams like City, Chelsea, Spurs and Everton haven’t signed any players, what a nightmare.

Is Salah not on the list for contract renewals?

{Ed002's Note - Yes.}
