Wouldn’t it make more sense for
Mbaye and then a different left side player
That way u don’t spend as much as u would with Barcola involved
It will be interesting to see if LFC pursue with Barcola and get the player
Will that conclude the window ….

I think Barcola signs but that doesn't conclude the window.

Maybe the club wants to sign Barcola, not just because he’s good, but because he’s a very well known player. If we went out and bought a cheap player who no one knows to replace Mo, I could see the fans being unhappy with that. Also, he will sell a lot of shirts, so again making the club.

Fair enough, folks.

Barcola's price is so high because there is a shortage of genuine quality players out there. Same in multiple positions these days.
Blame Pep (wow he changed football, isn't he brilliant, let's all kiss his bum) Guardiola for making a career buying up half of the best players in the world and turning them into NPCs and then every mug who burned their own career trying to copy him.

It would make more sense to sign the very best players we can. I really wouldn't worry about the money, the club will only spend what they feel they can afford.
We wanted a CB who could also cover right back and got Araujo, and everyone lost their minds. Could you imagine what would happen if we signed someone like Elanga for the right wing?
Building squad takes time, and I might be in the minority here, but I love the way we are going about it.
We are not trying to fill every position in one window, but we are prioritising positions and going for the best player available in that position.
It will serve us well in the end even if it does take a couple of seasons to get there.

We'll get Barcola and another 3 in.
