    It will in my view bring Potters whole credibility into question should he let Soucek go. He is everything we need and one stat alone says we cannot afford to lose him. He scores goals and that is something everyone else aside from Bowen finds very difficult. We need players that can find the net and he consistently does so for a deep midfielder. Add to this his passion for the club and effort levels and he is not someone we can do without. As he does not want to leave I could not imagine a reason he would be sold.

    1 Jarrod Bowen 14
    2 Tomas Soucek 9
    3 Lucas Paqueta 5
    4 Kudus Mohammed 4
    5 Niclas Fullkrug 3
    6 Emerson Palmieri 2
    7 Aaron Wan-Bissaka 2
    8 Michail Antonio 1
    9 Danny Ings 1
    10 Carlos Soler 1
    11 Crysencio Summerville 1

    Various reports that Bayer Leverkusen, Marseille and Atletico Madrid are interested in Aguerd

    I think you've missed Coufal off the list 😂🤣😂

    I am still getting over that Ings is on the list, I must have missed that one

    Kelleher on his way to Brentford for £12.5 million, should we have been more interested?

    At that price, definitely imo.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Other sources say £18m. I must admit I'm surprised that Villa didn't make more of an effort
  • stevesteve
    I read somewhere its 12.5 plus add ons to 18 .We should have been all over that

    Maybe we were but he just didn’t fancy us. 🤷‍♂️
  • stevesteve
    Can't believe that anyone would not fancy us .No accounting for taste =)

    Well if we need to sell to buy we probably couldn't make a move unless we thought Areola could leave
  • LukerzLukerz
    I mean with Flekken going he’s guaranteed to be number 1, which is the reason he is leaving Liverpool. I’m sure if we were interested, the fact he would be competing to be number 1 may mean he ends up back on the bench as he was before. Or maybe we don’t want him or maybe we need to shift players on before we commit to that sort of signing?

    Or maybe Potter thinks Areola is fine as our 1st choice keeper? Who knows…..⚒️⚒️⚒️

    That’s possible, but personally that’d make Potter’s judgment pretty questionable in my mind.

    According to one report yesterday, apart from the lad from Celtic it said Potter and the team will sit down to decide what we need and then prioritise. If that’s true then it’s pretty poor form not to have been doing this since January.
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    thorn, Liverpool have just won the EPL & are looking to make four signings before the window has even been opening for a week. We never appear to learn as most years we get left behind with other teams being far more proactive.

    I’m,as ever, loving this thread already. Full of “why didn’t we get hims , we should’ve beens and we’re always lates” etc and it’s only early June.Please keep it up.👍

    That could mean they already have their targets but will now prioritise which of them they will focus on, which might have been difficult without knowing who is coming or going for us, especially with a situation like Paqueta’s.
  • stevesteve
    Couple of reports say the Paqueta,s verdict might be as long as 2 more months away .If that's the case it really leaves us in Limbo

    Worrying news; Teamtalk claim we've had talks with Ramsdale. One glimmer of hope I did read that Saints would like a season long loan as they're hoping to come straight back up next season

    Talksport reckon we're after ex-Newcastle and Fulham 30yo CF Aleksandar Mitrovic along with Everton and Man Utd. Spent the last two seasons in Saudi

    Armando Broja has gone back to Chelsea after Everton decided not to take up the option to buy at the end of his loan. How soon before we're linked?

    United in focus reckon we tried to swap Kudus for Jadon Sancho, both players were open to the idea, United liked it but we decided against the deal
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    What a depressing roundup ASLEF 😭😭😭.
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    There are lots of other less depressing rumours in the media which should keep @Slacker amused!
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Kelleher to Brentford confirmed.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Burnley have released Jonjo Shelvey

    Joined on a free in January from Turkish club Something-spor, only made two appearances off the bench for a total of 11 minutes in February and hasn't been seen since
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    Chelsea have offered several players, most of whom are better than what we already have, to reduce the cost for Kudus but we aren’t interested. Why?
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Because Potter doesn't want to sell him?

    Just guessing here.
  • alderzalderz
    Or he doesn''t want the players offered? Maybe he doesn't think they're better than what we have.

    Also, there's always the caveat that this is just reported information and we don't know what's actually happened.

    Wage bill?

    So we plan to keep an unhappy player, that normally works out well 😉.

    Chalobah is better than Mavrapanos?
    Dewsbury-Hall would improve our midfield?
    Have to keep reminding myself not to take any notice of reports!

    My guess would be wages being the issue (if true). I also don't think dewsbury-hall is the type of midfielder we need at the moment. We need an athletic midfielder. That should be a priority in my opinion.
