Apart from Isaak is there another number 9 in the league anyone would take. Joao Pedro is the only one I can think of that is at a stage of his career he needs a big move to kick on. I would rather start with him up top before Nunez or Jota.

Ahead of Pedro, I'd rather us give Danns his chance.

Salah I like the look of Danns
But he has literally had a full season out without playing adult football.
I’d like to see him get a loan next season where he can play lots of minutes and develop over being the next Arthur / Chiesa etc.

Pedro is a good player and he’d do well at Liverpool. Not sure he’s the best option though, or even close for that matter. He’s 2 or 3 years away from his prime years. Much better option than Danns who is 6-8 years away from his prime years.
We need a player 25-28 years old who is proven and already banging goals in at a high level. We should try and hijack Osimhen in my opinion. Unless we really believe we can get Isak, Alvarez or Lautaro.

I think we slipped up letting Cunha go to ManU.
I rate him higher than all the CF that have been linked mainly because he’s shown he can do it in the premier league.
Alvarez and Isak being the obvious exceptions.

I'd rather start Nunez than have Pedro. Why pay 50 odd mil or more on someone who's scored 10 league goals from 23 starts when Nunez has scored 5 and only started 8 games!
It's almost spending for the sake of spending!

Imagine thinking Danns is the answer. Wow.

Ron, Cunha isn’t a CF though. He plays AM in most games. Strand-Larsson leads the line for Wolves as their CF, allowing Cunha a totally free role. If you watch him he’s normally deeper than 3 or 4 players at any given time trying to make things happen. He’d get in Wirtz’s way and he’s a mile off Wirtz in terms of ability. Sometimes he’ll literally go take it off the CB’s.
It’s one of the concerns I’d have with Pedro as he more often than not played SS behind Welbeck, so although it’s much more structured than Cunha and Pedro does hold his position a lot more, he’s still not a natural CF. Although when Welbeck has missed games with injury, Pedro has filled in at CF and done okay, it’s not his natural game. Pedro is more like Firmino (false 9) Whereas Cunha is more like Coutinho (free role 10).
Pedro or Cunha would’ve been decent options if Wirtz wasn’t happening (still not who I’d have chosen), but now we need a proper CF to play ahead of him in my opinion.

Hessle, I never said he was the answer you tool. I said he would be ahead of Pedro for me.
08 Jun 2025 17:18:36
Mate if he went to Utd he has no aspirations to be successful and just wants money so not the Liverpool type player.
08 Jun 2025 17:24:57
Easy now tiger!
Salah don’t lose energy on negative people, your opinion is good for me.
I would have personally thought Osmihen was the only real possible CF target in this window.
Perhaps we will all have to wait, happy with Wirtz and Kerkez for this week!

Evanilson would be my choice out of prem league strikers if isak unattainable. Bit of risk as he raw and no doubt high fee but he would be my next choice.
Of the strikers outside of prem if alvarez ruled out I really wouldn't be that crazy about any of them, martinez to me bit overrated, osimhem looked v good at napoli few years ago but hasn't really got any better, worse if anything. Frankfurt striker I know nothing of him.
Slim pickings in the striker market unless can get an under the rader 1.
08 Jun 2025 17:53:59
Seeing as Danns is already a Liverpool player, we wouldn't need to take him.
I've not missed many games and I don't know what people have seen from Danns to think he could play regularly for us.
I'm not saying he won't but what has he done?
08 Jun 2025 18:43:41
"It's almost spending for the sake of spending! ".
My sentiments exactly.

@Ron, in what way did we ‘let Cunha go’ to United? Did he ask our permission before he signed for them?
