Nottingham Forest genuinely believed a money + Matt Turner swap for Kelleher would actually work?

Are they insane?

And, Zubimendi stays. End of the day, if you don't want to play for Liverpool, then you are not worth further consideration. Great talent, but he choose his heart over his head.

Unfortunately, very amateurish from Hughes and the transfer committee. This strikes of the Lavia/ Caicedo saga we had to experience last year. We didn't do our due process and it has cost us both time and image.

Now, not sure where we go from here, there doesn't appear to be a comparable player to Zubimendi available, with a little over 2 weeks left of the transfer window. The 6 clearly needs to be a ball player first, someone capable of breaking lines to allow our offensive players to function. Varela, Ederson, both decent players, but not essential players, beither are capable of taking us to the next level, which is what we need.

And, anyone we do sign now will have their transfer fee raised, as there is so little time for clubs to actually buy players. No one is going to want to sell major assets at this late stage.

Personally, think we need a DM, centre back and a back up right winger. But, I suspect we will get only one, suspect a centre back. The Georgian keeper possibly as well, despite seeing very little need to strengthen said area at this point in time.

Really disappointing start from Hughes, etc. We were very loud and vocal about wanting Zubimendi, and now it has blown up in our face. The player didn't want to join Barca, Chelsea, United, etc, and now we can add Liverpool to that list.

As annoying as it is, I think we need to go with what we have. Not happy about it, as we clearly need reinforcements, but making desperate signings will only hamper us next season, if it turns out they need to be sold. Give Grav an opportunity, see what he is capable of.

Really disappointing, however. Thankfully Slot has got us on song at the moment, fingers crossed this continues for a while yet. First test for Hughes, though, does he get trigger happy because of the embarassment, or does he do the right thing and hold off on panic buys.

Agree with many, a poor performance to say the least.

Not signing a replacement for Gini may well be our undoing this season. Much like selling Lovren and not replacing him was a game changer last season. We should have learned and we did not.

Fingers crossed Elliott is on the mend, and, Jones can starting to push for a place in the team. Ox, I think it is clear that he needs to have a fresh challenge next season. A team challenging for the league cannot afford to have deadweight and he is becoming that, unfortunately.

Midfield is where we will lose this race for the title. Fingers crossed, Fabs and Thiago can come back and play a string of games now. Thiago bought on big wages and he has been injured more than he has played, it feels like. Unfortunate but something has to change.

Fingers crossed for Wednesday. Hopefully we see Fabs back by then, somehow doubt it though.

Apparently, since joining Liverpool, Jota has played 104 games and missed 78.

I mean what a life, play a little bit of footie in your spare time, get injured, then back home to play computer games at your leisure. I kinda respect the hustle.

Sounds like Harvey Elliott has left the U21 training camp with an injury, not sure how severe but this is always a fear when it comes to international breaks, having a player get injured without having any control of it.

Question 1, why in is Elliott even considered for the U21's? Surely, as a Prem ready player, he should be exempt, even if he is of age. How will the experience benefit him exactly? Other than to help England win a meaningless trophy.

2, what do the England coaches do in training? The amount of injuries we sustain from the English coaches is far beyond that of other nations. Gomez, Trent, Jones, Elliott have all picked up injuries during training, and at times significant ones. Are they playing dodgeball with basketballs or what?

Madness.

Might be in the minority, but I actually like the new Champs format. It looks like we will get more big games, more competitive matches, etc.

Top 8 go through to the next round automatically, 9 - 24 take part in an elimination scenario, and the remaining are eliminated.

Could make for some great occasions. Have to say, though, the draw was actually barmy as I had no idea what was going on, as the computer apparently did everything behind the scenes, not at all open to nefarious usage.

Been very critical of Richard Hughes since taking on the role of Sporting Director, and rightly so on many counts, but selling Van Den Berg for £25 million + £5 million, as well as £22.5 + £5 million for Carvalho is seriously some great business.

Getting some genuinely quality signings in for now, rather than 1 to 2 years later, and I will be reasonably pleased with this transfer window. Still not entirely happy with our 3 major players being out of contract at the end of the season, with Van Dijk admitting that no one has spoken to him about it. But, credit where credit is due.

Fingers crossed this all works out because I do believe we have the majority of what we need to compete at the top, but 1 - 3 reinforcements in key areas are needed still to solidify that. CB, 6 and a RW (To act as cover, competition and then take over from Salah) remain the 3 key areas where we lack the necessary depth as well as quality.
