i know we were scouting florentino luis. ed's do you know if liverpool might still be interested in him? checked him out on fbref. he looks as good as tchouameni imo but a bit less inclined to score.
also what's this about us being interested in mathias nunes? he hasn't really impressed me and just looks like a poor mans bellingham. why aren't we looking for bellingham and a more defensive 8 or a regista?

I've seen Nunez coming in as an upgrade on Origi- a tall physical 9. Diaz is an almost like-for-like replacement of Mane- although a bit more inclined to want the ball to feet. and I guess Gakpo is an upgrade on Minamino? Both are right footed and comfortable on both wings, although better off the left. I mean for all we can criticize Minamino he provided good squad depth and kept us in all comps last year when salah and mane went to afcon.
At the moment jota, firmino and diaz are all injured and we have noone but ox and elliott to replace them. Ox can't be relied upon and elliott isn't suited to the position. This is when minamino would play and we'd be saying how he saved our neck.
I always considered jota as the utility forward but with him injured so often this doesn't make him suited to this role in the squad anymore. a side that wants to challenge for titles can't rely on quite so many injury-prone players. gakpo could be a sign that management want to clear out the dead wood.
if we sell/ let leave jota, firmino, ox, keita, jones, gomez, and matip in the next couple of transfer windows this will create a massive amount of space on the wage books and a little bit of cash to bring in a few higher quality less injury prone players that will complete the squad transition.
i'd be choosing bellingham in the henderson role, enzo for thiago and someone like caicedo for that wijnaldum kind of player. the squads been dying for a ball winner since he left. i think bajcetic could eventually replace fabinho but he's not ready to anchor yet. gvardiol is my left cb of choice and bella kotchap would be a steal if southampton go down this year. one can only dream.

Hi Ed002, thanks for everything you do. Do you know how long it will be before a schedule is set and bidding starts? Just wondering how long the takeover could take.
{Ed002's Note - It will likely take a few months.}

yes i can see him playing with nunez in a two as well. with it all being a bit of a shambles right now we can't judge him too harshly.
