January is looming on the horizon!

If we replace Konate with Upamacano that would be like replacing Les McKeown with Rick Astley.

Never going to give you up, never going to let you down. Never going to run around and desert you.

And it's Bye Bye Baby to both.

Can’t see any logical reason to go for Gnabry, 30 years old and injury prone. As for Upamecano, he’s a Waitrose Djimi Traore, terrible defender.

For some reason the press seem to think any footballer available in a 'free' appeals, and if that footballer has had any connection to the club in the last 10 years, then that's 2 + 2 = 5 .
More important to get stories out, than anything of substance .
It seems a connection to the club or inside information to what the club wants or needs is no longer important .
Remembering that today's headlines are tomorrow's chip papers!

Would take Diomande or Ordonoz now and Guehi in the summer.
Semenyo would be wise business but I would prefer Olise even if we have to wait til the summer.

There’s going to be a big price difference between Olise and Semenyo so it may end up being about money, and how much we need for a centre half or two, and a centre mid.
Another big dilemma remains Wirtz. If he’s a 10 wed need a different centre mid two behind him, and if he’s in as left side attack not sure Kerkez can play. Sadly I could see us selling Wirtz if Real would stump up £80m plus, as I’m not sure we can afford to build a team around him given the challenge we’ve got replacing Mo and VVD.

I'd agree with you on that, shughes55.
My only concerns on Semenyo are (i) age - he is 26 soon and (ii) how he would fare being faced with a low-block on a regular basis?
Whether he's gettable in January, I have no idea. The good thing is that Ghana didn't qualify for AFCON, so he won't be missing a chunk of the season for that this time around.
Joel Ordonez seems gettable in January - should have done it in the summer regardless.
Sounds like we are among a long list of clubs that want Lille DM wonderkid, Ayyoub Bouaddi. If he is on the move in January and he fancies Anfield, don't be surprised if we move for him to avoid missing out.
Outside of Bouaddi, there's not much else re midfield re-enforcements.
You wonder if Man Utd made a serious move for Carlos Baleba in January, whether we would stand aside or get involved. Hard to say as the links to him have been weak at best. But, we have been known to bring forward signings for targets (eg Diaz, Gakpo) when rivals start to make moves for them.
