Well that'll take a little bit of pressure of Alisson, if nothing else

Highly recommended watching the clip where Pep tells Carragher and Gary Neville that he'd "never forgive them" for not winning a trophy with England's golden generation. And then calls Gary 'Phil' to compound the matter.

"Shaqiri is not as supremely talented as Coutinho was but he possesses the same invention and guile as the Brazilian. With the forward trio of Mo, Mane & Bobby, a reborn Sturridge, Shaqiri's invention and the ever industrious midfielders, Liverpool are frightening"- #bbcfootball— Esther Agbarakwe (@estherclimate) August 7, 2018
Liverpool fans getting excited about Shaqiri. Sturridge on fire in pre-season. That's Liverpool probably fucked then!

My gut says Liverpool are going to be decimated by injuries and not have a particularly good season.

From what I can tell Kepa pretty much kept Bilbao in La Liga last season so they're right to extract such a ridiculous fee from Chelsea.

"Spurs to make big money deadline day bid for Ryan Sessegnon..."
they'd probably be wise to not fuck this one up as well, by offering derisory bids with dud player swap options so close to the deadline. And especially when dealing with a super rich club under no pressure to sell.

Wolves are closing in on a deal to sign Belgium international Leander Dendoncker, according to Sky sources.The Anderlecht midfielder is travelling to England to discuss personal terms and undergo a medical.

Looks like suddenly Dendoncker's back on? If this does go south it'll be an order of magnitude beyond QPR
― the Joao looked at Jonny (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 8 August 2018 15:44 (five years ago) link
Lol just got here same time
sessegnon, grealish, id take that but seems unlikely.
rose and alderweireld out, youd need to raise 100m and replace with a good centre half, doable but again seems a lot at this stage
not much point finishing top four against the odds every season to then refuse the platform tho

Thrilled and terrified at what we're spending. Unifying link is this is a young squad bar Moutinho

Dendoncker makes me wonder if Nuno's gonna persist with Saiss as a centre half tho. By all accounts not his favoured position, and nobody thought he looked comfortable there on Saturday.

glad we've managed to palm off Malone to the Lampard Project. Jesus, we spent 6m on him just because he give us the runaround in 2 champo league games - always the most dud criteria for a signing. He looked like Jim had fixed it for him in the prem.

this is apparently true
xp im not happy but at the same time idk.
we are as likely to sign shite as not, we are actually better off without aurier or sissoko and thats 55m, and probably more like 75m if bought today. fuck that.
if pochs ok im ok
if hes not then levy has fucked up hugely
but, if poch has forgotten how to make squad and youth players better, thats a strange turn of events too
