LFC are interested in Nnamdi Collins, who can play both centre-back and right-back. He is from Eintracht, and the club are open to sell the lad after the World Cup.

It does seem like Inter are closer to Palestra anyway.

Interesting, also young and (according to FIFA, sorry!) is pretty quick.
Like the fact he is reasonably tall so would be a commanding presence in the CB role.
Interested to see whether we go into Geertruida (similar profile, bit older) or whether that interest was only ever there as he and Slot worked together in the past.

I'm with you, Zed.
I really like the thought of Geertruida as a more economical option if the likes of Kayode and others are not attainable.
And I still hold hope Frimpong will do well in the new system. With the leash off, direct play and forward runners, it should suit him.

Geertruida was one of my wishes when we had Slot. Now with Iraola, I'm not so sure.

I get too, too, Faithinworks. He is not exactly a flying full back/crosser type.
I heard a value of 17m. I think he is great value at that, and pretty good going forward.
To be honest though, there must be a lot of right backs out there. Surely they can find a decently priced option that works.

The profile of RB we need probably depends on the midfield choices we make.

Come on, Carra, give us Yr daily dose.
What's happening inside the world's greatest football club.
Can't wait any longer, mate!!
Make something up if nothing new. We need your thoughts, any thoughts apart from anything to do with England's World Cup chances. Couldn't give a toss, rather watch paint drying in the blazing hot sun.
Thanks in advance......

Until the system is understood it's difficult to know who the best transfer targets would be.
He seems to prefer a more dynamic system with a 4231 or 433 shape. It also depends what the real fitness issue with Macca is and whether there's a view he can recover his mobility and form, and what fee we could get if he's done. All the noise on Wharton and the Bournemouth player suggests he's gone.
With Connor's injury there's a need for an out and out right back, I'd guess the Italian as he'll be easier to get than Koyode.
You can also see why we're pushing hard for Diomande as he can play right or left, which makes him valuable and would mean it's not as desperate to buy for both flanks.
I think Mama will go as well now Alli is staying, so another backup keeper in or return for Jaros.
Beyond that I can't see us doing much business unless a lot of the fringe players like Curtis, Harvey and Jo leave, in which case we might bring a rotation option in for midfield.
It leaves the squad thin but that's the way we've always been run.

Davey, Frimpong couldn't do well at an all you can eat buffet!
