AncalagonTheBlack Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 David Ornstein @David_Ornstein · 1m �� EXCL: Liverpool in negotiations with Bayern Munich for permanent signing of Ryan Gravenberch. Not guaranteed to happen but clubs discussing price + if finances right formal offer to follow. 21yo wants #LFC. #FCBayern would need to replace @TheAthleticFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I’m not sure I get the point of all this Gravenberch talk. We’ve just signed Mac Allister and Szoboszlai and we’ve got Jones and Elliott as back ups. If his problem at Bayern is playing time I’m not sure it’s a massive improvement at Liverpool. The only way I could see it working is if we plan to convert him to a defensive midfielder (and he’s on board with that) but that’s a bit of a gamble so I’m not sure you’d want to be spending a lot of money.

A Horse Named Stranger Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Yep, I don't fully understand that move either. But he's arguably more likely to beat Jones and Elliott for playing than this overbloated midfield at Bayern. Or Liverpool think with the injury history of Elliott and James, they'd rather have another player. And there'll be quite a few games to rotate him in. But you were rumored interested in him for quite a bit, so your scouting department must see a way to use him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorshach Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Today is the day! We will start our march towards twin cup wins with a comprehensive trashing of Doncaster. Or, more likely, we'll play crap and lose by three goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncalagonTheBlack Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Melissa Reddy @MelissaReddy_ · 12m Few important details: Ryan Gravenberch is represented by Jose Fortes Rodrigues from Raiola. Rafaela Pimenta no longer with the agency. LFC made a solid check on him earlier in the summer. Bayern now open to a sale, fee needs to be agreed. Ajax understood to have 7.5% sell-on.

Rorshach Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Shocker! We're behind! For the first 45 minutes, we have a second game where we could more or less change 9 players to try to make a difference (Onana and Pickford haven't been actively bad). But our pressure is half-hearted, our defense can't pass out (90% of passes go Pickford - Keane - Mykolenko - long under pressure) and as a result our midfield and Chermiti aren't in the game at all. Not sure how the club's supposed to turn around - rot seems everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 So I’m mildly unconvinced by the potential Gravenberch transfer to Liverpool in that it doesn’t seem to fill an immediate need but I really don’t see the point of the Cole Palmer to Chelsea transfer. From City’s perspective they’ve lost Mahrez and he basically seems like a younger version of Mahrez and Chelsea already have Sterling (who’s been really good so far) and Madueke on the right wing.

Rorshach Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) Beto is on and has had his first finish. So far looks like Maupay in that department.

Raja Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 City got Doku to play on the right, I imagine that's why they're okay with getting good money for Palmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea spending 40mil on a position they already have Sterling and Madueke in is bizarre though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sunland Lord Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Somehow pot 4 in the CL looks pretty strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatCoward Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I hope we get loads of glamour ties in the CL. Have some fun, get knocked out and then concentrate on top 4 again for next year. Bayern, Real, AC Milan, Newcastle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatCoward Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Maguire, Phillips and Henderson in the squad and no Sterling. Form and match fitness be fucked. What a clown. Spockydog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) Meanwhile Bonucci to Union Berlin seems to be happening. And Nuamah is probably a blueprint for Boehly's future transfers. UEFA should really step in and slap down Lyon hard for that shenanigans.

What a clown. I'm not a huge fan of him picking Henderson but he did play last season for Liverpool and he's at least playing at the moment (even if it is at whatever level the Saudi league is) and there is a bit of a shortage of midfielders behind Rice for the deeper role. Maguire and Phillips is getting ridiculous though. It's not like it's just that they haven't played this year, they weren't even playing last season.

Spockydog Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Saw some footage from the Saudi league. JFC, what a shit show. Looks like testimonial football. I give it five years before the penny drops that playing football in 40 degree heat at 10pm, at a very low, non-competitive standard, just ain't worth the Riyals.
