We've signed three potentially great midfielders with a solid, experienced one in addition. In terms of the calibre of players signed I think it's been a really good window, but it'll completely depend on the system we use. Trent moving into a hybrid position was a response to our midfield being...

I'm not even sure he'd leave next summer. If we make one of the European Cup places is he going to pass up another crack at it?

Fjortoft has tweeted that he thinks Salah will leave this week. No idea whether he tends to be on the money or not. Anyway, I think it would be absolutely crazy to sell him, and also a shit decision by Salah to go when he's still near the top of his game.

I don't know much about Gravenberch but I do know we tried to sign him when he went to Bayern and we've scouted him for ages. No idea where he fits.

I just don't get why we signed him. I agree with whoever said if we had planned to make him the focal point in attack we wouldn't have signed Gakpo. It's good to have options but Nunez is never going to be happy with an Origi role. Signing him was just a muddled bit of recruitment that was...

Here's my charitable opinion: Clearly the original plan was Lavia to understudy Fabinho. Fab left and Lavia didn't arrive, so instead we're going for a new first choice (Doucoure?) plus Endo as a rotation option. If that's what he is, he looks really good; committed, strong, stays fit, decent...

Neither Gravenberch or Kone are, from my understanding, DMs.

Linked to Johan Bakayoko this morning, a Belgian left footed right-winger at PSV. 20 years old, so would take up one of the U21 NHG places. I wonder if Palace have asked to take Ben Doak on loan as part of the Doucoure deal.

I've read a bit online the last few days pinning the Edwards/Ward/Graham departures as symptomatic of Klopp gaining more prominence, and that's probably true, but I also agree that FSG have become less interested; Klopp's desire to become more central to decision-making wouldn't really have...

Who out of City, Newcastle, Chelsea, Man Utd and Arsenal will be finishing behind us if we don't sign a DM?

At least with previous summers we didn't pretend we were going to spend big. Expectation management has been horrendous. Pursuing Bellingham for a year then dropping out; briefing we had loads to spend then saying we would need to sell to buy another midfielders. Going after Caicedo out of...

We have been a fucking shitshow this summer.

Tchouameni has said no to us at least twice. Why are we targeting players who don't actually want to play for us?

I would have thought if we've had a bid accepted we'd be hearing how Lavia is on his way for a medical.

As we've outbid Chelsea, we've now the only offer on the table. We'll see what happens when Chelsea return with a higher offer just to piss us off.

Or make it full time and sign another RB. But either way we need to address the defence in this window.

He's the sort of signing I expected us to make when it looked like we were getting Lavia - a fairly inexpensive, hold the fort option until Lavia could take over as the first team pick. But he'd have to be one of two, and I have no idea who we're looking at now. It would be a massive comedown to...

Having watched the game yesterday I'm now almost of the opinion that a LCB to replace Robbo in the team is as important as a new DM.

It's negligence.

I wonder how much is because of his bluster.

I agree with all the positive sentiments but also there's a part of me that just wishes he'd hurry up and fuck off given the transfer has been on the cards for weeks now.

Signing Lavia

Conor Bradley has looked good so far. He's always looked decent for NI so I am hopeful he can deputise for Trent given his pre-season form.

Lavia's good and potentially very good, but him and Bajetic are too young to cover the position for a whole season, so I hope we bring in one more DM (and a CB) as well.

Get him in asap

In

Expect the transfer to go through in January in that case

A few things - we could be lining a replacement up as mentioned; or we could be looking for guarantees of payment in some way

In addition to the hypocrisy the move feels weird because this is the sort of thing the club should be doing - getting rid of a player past his best who isn't going to play much and doesn't really fit with how we play at a point where we can get some money for him. Not used to the club doing...
