Liverpool related transfer speculation

We should be 'monitoring' Rodrigo Mora of Porto FC.

He's going to be a star.

@bluebell - what is the word on the streets man ? who is next on our list of targets ? - are we getting a midfielder ? - are we going to sell Konate ? - Is Isak coming or we get one of the Vic's ?
 
This was interesting found this elsewhere

“5 months ago, I met someone who did data analysis at Ajax Amsterdam.

They found something weird.

Two players were terrible on paper:

- Barely made tackles
- Missed passes
- Couldn't score
- Almost no assists

But here's the thing: Ajax kept losing without them.

It drove the analysts crazy for months.

Finally they figured it out: these guys were the team's communicators.

The ones constantly organizing and directing play.

They'd call out formations, coordinate defensive moves, and relay tactical changes in real-time.

They'd shout warnings to defenders. Point teammates to open space. Keep morale high when things got rough.

The stats missed everything that mattered.

Makes you think about your own team, doesn't it?

Your most valuable people might be the ones your metrics completely miss.

Who calms everyone down when projects go sideways?
Who helps the new folks figure things out?
Who spots the fires before they start?

None of that shows up in quarterly reviews.

But take those people away... watch what happens.

Sometimes the most important stuff is the hardest to measure”

Guehi is the next guy. If you are wondering on strikers, its either Ekitike or Gyokeres or even no one!
Bluebell wants us to sign Dominic Calvert Lewin
I said no such thing. I said Jonathan Davids. Confusing me with DB
Him and Dreamie together could pick a team signings that would make us worse than Man Utd.. in a heartbeat.
This team would make us worse than Man U would it?

---------------------Ali---------------

Frin----Guehi/Konate----VVD----Kerkez

---------------Grav------------------

----------Alex-----Wirtz-----------

Salah------Gyokeres-----Rodrygo

This is on the assumption Diaz is sold and Isak is unavailable.

@bluebell - do not listen to those that try and make you sound like you would take anyone for Liverpool, you are the heart and soul of this site now, it used to be @Modo - but he ruined himself when he said he wanted to take a break (that's almost like a transfer request).

So this Guehi transfer - I heard on a channel yesterday that apparently we are 25M apart in our respective valuations. Is this going to be a drawn out thing or are we going to do it by Wednesday ?

Interesting.

But you'd think they could've figured this out in 5 minutes if they'd talked to the coaching staff! Surely they'd be aware of who the leaders are.
 
Braga are ready to step up interest in Tyler Morton. Ajax, West Ham United and Club Bruges have also been following the 22-year-old, who is eager for regular first-team football. [

Guehi will get done.... From what I read they want £45m and we are at £30m.

This is totally a stolen story that’s been doing the rounds in corporate land for years about a team player who missed every metric but made the rest of the team excel. Just rehashed for football fans.
