These links to both players make me fear (perhaps slightly paranoid) that Salah may be sold.
I really hope this is just paranoia, but can’t see why we would be buying Lemar and Fekir – we already have a wealth of options.
May 29, 2018 at 3:06 pm #1642424I doubt it, even if we sign both, Fekir is probably going to pay midfield, and Lemar would be quality cover/competition for Mane and Salah.
We could have really done with another winger after Salah got injured the other night.
May 29, 2018 at 3:43 pm #1642432The only blessing in disguise of Ramos challenge on Salah is that Salah now probably hates the one team that could afford him who want him lol
May 29, 2018 at 3:43 pm #1642433Can’t see us buying both as there are other positions we need to strengthen.
May 29, 2018 at 3:58 pm #1642435Lemar or Fekir not Lemar and Fekir so nothing to worry about
May 29, 2018 at 4:08 pm #1642437Fekir, Dembele and a proper quality out and out striker. Then we are set going forward. A solid defender, right back (allowing TAA to rotate into mid) and a solid gk. easier said than done!
May 29, 2018 at 4:10 pm #1642439Any interest in Lemar seem to have died away.
May 29, 2018 at 4:29 pm #1642441Some of you guys are behaving like we are City/Utd
May 29, 2018 at 4:40 pm #1642443JC, funny you said that because I thought the opposite when Salah went off. Would have liked to have seen us drop to a 442 with Milner and Wij flanking Henderson, Can as the 10 and Bobby and Mane up top. It would have put another man in the engine room and the new shape would have given them something different to think about (they would have prepped against our 433). Might not have made any difference and it was only a passing thought.
May 29, 2018 at 5:00 pm #1642453So a whole new team then. Fabinho can play RB btw.
May 29, 2018 at 6:00 pm #1642468Rob – I wondered something similar when Salah went off.
I do hope you are all right. I have read some articles stating we are after both Lemar and Fekir – may just be the usual press BS
May 29, 2018 at 7:01 pm #1642478Lemar from what I have seen has an excellent turn of pace, and would be perfect for that transition hit them on the break football that we excel at! He hasnt had a great season as he did the year before so maybe we could get him on the cheap this year and then Klopp can do his usual ‘water to wine’ act.
Dembele would also be a good signing too but questions over his temperament? Why are Barca so ready to get of him already, I’d like to know more about that.
Fekir is the man who is on form out of the three, I would like to go for him more so than the rest but if I had to pick two out of three I would go for Dembele and Fekir. Dembeles physicality and ability to burst through the lines is amazing and would provide perfect cover for Salah and Mane.
May 29, 2018 at 9:55 pm #1642516As Ginger says, there is no more interest in Lemar, also confirmed by Neil Jones, formerly of the Echo, and a fairly reliable source.
Of course if it hapens, I’ll admit I was wrong
May 29, 2018 at 10:54 pm #1642531Mwake, thanks. Never seen any of these 3 play. Good not of insight
May 29, 2018 at 10:54 pm #1642532On a separate note.
Apparently Mo Salah is off to Real Madrid this Summer. He was quoted as saying “I wasn’t all that keen, but Sergio Ramos twisted my arm”.
😅
May 30, 2018 at 7:47 am #1642559LOL good one Gul. Well Salah is in Spain right now, for treatment. upon arrival he refused to answer a reporters questions at all. It can’t be pleasant to have a mic shoved in your face and he looked really uncomfortable but he didnt even want to make a remark just to kinda get the guy off his back.
As for Fekir, do we want to risk sending him off to the World Cup? If we’re after him, he must be special but he’s not a household name. What happens if he does something special out there? That £50m that we’re hearing about will turn to £100m+ over-night.
May 30, 2018 at 8:11 am #1642566would get fekir in as qucik as we can or risk losing him if he has a good WC. perfect to play couthino role in 3 man midfield or we revert back to 4-2-3-1 and he plays in the 3 behind firminio.
we still need another top quality forward who can play in the front 3 aswell.
wish list would be
keeper
centre back
holding player – fabhino
attacking midfielder – fekir
forward – no ideaMay 30, 2018 at 8:58 am #1642589Sean, my guess is that Fekir is going to be used as a forward. I don’t see us signing Keita, Fabinho, Fekir, a top keeper and another top forward.
but how would you line up the 4-2-3-1?
TAA – Lovren – Van Dijk – Robertson
Fabinho – Henderson
Salah – Fekir – Mane
FirminoThere’s no place for Keita in that line-up and you’re dropping your CMs down to 2, when we’re going to have 7-8 (depending on where you put fekir) for just those 2 places now. With the signing of Keita and Fabinho, I think we’re told that we’ll still have 3 in midfield.
Currently having 3 from 7 in midfield and 3 from 3 up top surely tells us that it is up top that is being re-enforced next and adding fekir will give us 3 from 4 and when Ox is fit again, he can also help cover one of the positions.
Maybe I’m wrong but it just doesn’t add up to me. I don’t see us going the way of Man City and having an over-abundance of quality from in on any window. Each window we’ve hoped for more than we’ve gotten.
May 30, 2018 at 9:22 am #1642600Mr Mak, you say “I don’t see us signing Keita, Fabinho, Fekir, a top keeper and another top forward.”
Why not? Who really knows what Klopp and his team are planning? I believe anything can happen in this transfer window.
And I totally disagree with you about Keita not having a place in the starting lineup, are you serious?
Why not just keep it simple, there is no way Klopp is not going to start without Keita, considering the quality, strength, drive and energy that he has, and what our midfield has been sorely missing for a long time
May 30, 2018 at 9:39 am #1642608I think they are both worrying we won’t sign them. 😄
