You can add Zeca, Brazilian left-back 23 years old, to the list of LBs being linked with us. Plays for Santos and has featured for the Brazil U20s and the recent Olympic Gold winning team. Is right footed so he can play both on the left and the right. Super fast, athletic type, but a bit on the short smallish side for me (in the videos I saw) . But then, Roberto Carlos was even shorter, so what do I know. Seems to be a very offensive minded player.

Probably just a case of the agent creating waves and interest in his client in Europe, and everyone and their grandma knows we're in the market for LBs.

Ed what's the story with Sessegnon? I thought we lost out to Spurs for his signature but he still hasn't signed for them yet. Are we still interested? Any update on our interest in Mendy at Monaco? Really think Left back should be a priority.

Believable2 Unbelievable1

{Ed002's Note - As I have explained, there are people at Fulham who do not want to do business with Liverpool. There is nothing to update regarding Mendy.}

20 Jun 2017 21:06:36
City are set to sign Mendy. Gutted, best LB around and that's probably sealed the title for them as they're sorting out proper quality early, done and dusted. We, on the other hand, have spent a month on Salah, who still hasn't signed and was our second choice.

City will sort two quality full backs cause they need them. We do, but won't. More attacking quality added, maybe Auba too. Don't need him, but top teams want competition for places. We don't like that.

Agree5 Disagree17

Bertrand won't want to join City to be a back up to Mendy. He's had that before. If city go for Mendy I'd be happy if we went in for Bertrand as he's a quality player.

20 Jun 2017 21:40:38
Ever the optimist hey Max ;) we've obviously taken a while to get our business done early due our handling of the Van Dijk transfer.

Salah is a quality signing and the transfer window hasn't even opened yet. There's still plenty of time to sign a left back (which we will) . Klopp's knowledge of the European market is second to none, he'll find a cheaper alternative to Mendy i presume.

I'll be amazed if the Van Dijk transfer goes through so after Salah we need to find a CB of genuine quality then i'll be happy with our business. A CF and a DCM (keita) would be a massive bonus.

20 Jun 2017 21:46:22
Bit short sighted to say that's probably sealed them the title when it's June!

Agree8 Disagree4

20 Jun 2017 22:39:26
Mendy has by no means agreed to join city!

Max Renn are you going for the most negative poster award?

We don't need Salah? Why don't we need another winger? We fell apart when Mane went and the team was fatigued.

I believe most games we will play a front 3 of Salah Firmino and Mane, with Phill just behind.

Everyone knows we need a LB and a CB to improve our starting 11. I'm not sure we need a CM imo as we have enough already Then we need to replace any out goings to add depth.

Chill out and see what's happened and the start of the season.

Ed's can you explain fulham not wanting to do business with Liverpool. I. e. what we did to them.

Eds when is the players contract up and do any of you know which club he actualy prefers to go to. if any?

{Ed002's Note - Move on.}

A largely untested keeper, no leadership in their defense and a completely unbalanced midfield. Mendy does not pretty much secure the title for City.

Agree4 Disagree0

21 Jun 2017 09:30:39
Tizer I didn't say we didn't need Salah. We were linked with Auba and posters saying we don't need him as we have Sturridge, Origi and Solanke. City don't need him either but the difference is he can improve the competition for a place with Aguero and Jesus. We are short sighted to see players like Auba as an impressive signing to elevate us rather stick with what hasn't won us anything instead of pushing forward.

Mendy himself might not win the title but it is the areas they're improving- fullbacks, keeper and players like Bernardo Silva make sure they continue to improve competition. Posters here are right we need a LB. we needed one last summer, before that too. Keep hearing window not open yet I see our direct competition managing to buy and improve. The best LB in euro is available we should have sealed that problem area straight away.

We will see at the end of the window of course. But we have a packed cm area and want players like Ojo and Gomez given the chance, but we're hunting Keita, Salah and a CB. Still no lb still have a problem area, squad not improved and get those three Keita Salah and a CB that's going to be £120m spent. What we buying at lb? £10m Robertson? How much money do you think we have? Same old windows of money wasted and a squad hoping for top four not title challengers.

Agree1 Disagree3

21 Jun 2017 11:34:18
yeah i think we should focus on a centre back and a left back and i would prefer koulibaly to van dyke due to the fact that it is about time we sought out a commanding defender for once and is areal value for money at 55-65 mil pounds we might purchase van dyke for.

To then have his outrageously long Liverpool medical.

haha. yep that'll take a few days. Eds get ready for 'that' question every 5 minutes. Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet?

It's a good job LFC aren't involved in Brexit negotiations.
You'd be looking at 10years minimum before we got out!

Agree9 Disagree1

20 Jun 2017 10:55:54
It's more initiation than transfer:

Part 1: Get to London Heathrow
Part 2: Convince Aubameyang to travel with him
Part 3: bring a dossier of all left backs that are currently available
Part 4: Get the Striker and Left Back to sign, before he finally takes the medical and commits.
part 5: Don't admit that LFC have been taking him out for private lunches for the last 4months.

20 Jun 2017 11:52:01
He's already in Liverpool and met with jurgen.

Agree4 Disagree3

20 Jun 2017 12:02:45
You all do notice that Tuesday is spelt wrong and if you search the twitter about Salah and flight number they all came from one source (which spelt Tuesday as Tuesdsay) .

Agree1 Disagree1

20 Jun 2017 12:17:36
He then fails his medical.

@ Liver-La. could not make a much bigger hash of it than the U. K. government.

How about the now deleted tweet from Egypt Air official, tweeting "@22mosalah Thank you for traveling with EGYPTAIR! " Is it a fake account, or just to wind us fans up?

{Ed025's Note - why would he be riding lovren and klaven.. :)

20 Jun 2017 15:00:42
BTW, this is now on BBC Sport that's the deal is done for £40m.

Agree1 Disagree1

20 Jun 2017 15:28:09
Lovren and Klaven would try to headbutt them. but miss.

20 Jun 2017 09:07:51
We've had a 36 million bid rejected for koulibaly apparently, not sure if I believe it but it would be a brilliant signing.

Believable0 Unbelievable8

20 Jun 2017 10:38:00
Would be brilliant to straight swap him and Sakho as he needs to go and they're the same type of player. Otherwise I don't see the point.

Agree3 Disagree4

20 Jun 2017 11:18:06
Exactly. I don't see much of a difference between the two. Except that Sakho is probably better at playing the ball out from the back. And there's the obvious huge price difference.

Agree2 Disagree4

20 Jun 2017 12:18:20
And that Klopp is never going to let Sakho play again for us.

Agree3 Disagree0

20 Jun 2017 13:20:35
Such a shame about sahko. Respect klopp for sticking to his word. He'd be a fantastic signing for us.

Agree2 Disagree1

20 Jun 2017 13:47:26
Why have we bid £35m when Chelsea have already reportedly had a £40m bid turned down last year and +£50m bid rejected this year? Is it just a show that we are 'attempting' to sign other CBs before going back for VVD?

Agree3 Disagree2

20 Jun 2017 13:55:07
Sakho always looks like bambi on ice when he was on the ball for us. Never looked comfortable.

Agree11 Disagree8

20 Jun 2017 22:01:01
But yet he was in control most of the time!

Agree3 Disagree2

20 Jun 2017 08:47:45
Most papers seems to be in agreement that Salah is close too joining the club? Is that your understanding as well eds?

Cheers,

{Ed001's Note - all I know it that talks with Roma are ongoing.}

20 Jun 2017 09:26:31
Salah has been confirmed to join/ go for medical/ scheduled for medical about a million times already.

ive chosen to ignore all the reports, safer to just wait until he leans mate.

Agree5 Disagree0

20 Jun 2017 09:27:15
Please Ed's don't let anymore salah threads appear until the deal is finalised. It's so boring.

Agree5 Disagree2

20 Jun 2017 10:34:12
Who is Salah? Lol.

Agree3 Disagree0

20 Jun 2017 10:47:48
I hope all our summer signings ( if there's more ) don't take as long as this Salah one. sheesh!
