A lot will depend on Barca. They've already sold Countinho for £20m, and are reported to be selling Frenkie De Jong for £70 or £80m, so they could have funds, but apart from them I'm not sure who would be willing to spend £60m+ needed to get him. But I'm still sure he'll go.
There's rumours Citeh maybe in for KP as Fernandinho's replacement, but I'm not convinced.

Ramsey would be a brilliant signing for any team, but I'd like to see Drameh get a chance.

Barca re signing Dembele i believe and bringing in Levandovski.. can't see them having the budget now. KP will stay now unless City offer mega money...

I thought Liverpool were trying to sign Ramsey.
I would be happy with Drameh coming back and us getting a new LB.
Firpo is 50/50 to stay on the pitch when he plays.
5 or 6 needed or 7/8 if KP and Rapha leave.
Minimino from Liverpool is another I understand we are interested in.

I'd be looking for another striker, then 3 or 4 others who are going to come in and replace others in the strongest 11. I wouldn't be looking to let anyone leave. Obviously KP and Raph may force our hands

I see Kennah`s left to go to Hibbs.
Another decent talented departure which is a shame but we can`t keep them all.

Hopefully we have a buy back option on him. It'll be interesting to see how he progresses

He's gone on a free. He turned down a new contract.

Liverpool are but no way he's getting in that team any time soon. the lad will play most games for Leeds. Has a decision to make.

7/8 players to come in if KP and Raph leave is exactly why we can't let them go. We would have far far too much work to do in the transfer window and it would be near impossible for them to gel in time. We'd lose a lot of the team spirit as well. How do you replace both in the same window.... it would be near impossible imo..

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Tue May 24, 2022 9:56 am  

We`ve turned down 55 million euros for Raphina from Barca.
But he has a 70 million euro buy out clause which I`m sure they will offer.
My reasoning behind us getting so many new players in is the poor quality of the likes of James, Roberts, Firpo etc.
But yes you are right.
It would take some doing to get them to gel during the off season.
Saying that some of the better players might welcome the dross been moved on

If we got €70m for him, it would be incredibly good business, pretty hard to turn down for player or club

I think he's worth £70m let alone €70m but yes that would be very good business. But must must must be replaced with quality.. his goals assists and work rate will take some replacing and if not done right we'll end up in trouble again next year.
