I'm very interested to see how we get on in the next few weeks. I really hope that there's a turnaround with James and Kean staying with us because if they do I think both will be a massive help to the squad. It's easy to try to flog those 2 because they're actually worth some money but I'd actually much prefer the club put on a fire sale of Delph, Iwobi, Davies, Kenny, etc. Surely someone wants to put some form of money towards them however big or small. It's played out but if Gbamin can stay fit he will be like a new signing and will contribute.

Minimum need for us is a right back and a winger, that's with Kean and James staying too. Ideally adding to that would be a central midfielder but I can see us keeping Gomes or more likely Davies as depth. Some smart loans and an investment into a starting right back will benefit the club greatly and set us on the right path and that is how this window can be salvaged. If however we get rid of Kean and James, we have them to replace them first off, then a starting right back and a very good winger as well as a creative midfielder.

I can't see us bringing in 5 players that will raise the quality of this squad so if Kean and James leave then I think we're in trouble. Currently as it stands we have a balanced squad that is mostly average in terms of quality but should do "fine", there's plenty deadwood still though and priority should be getting them out at all costs not people that could actually contribute to the squad. Let's hope someone like Palace or Wolves start off awfully and panic buy our dross towards the end of the window.
I agree with a lot of what you say but we didn't have Kean last season,
James is probably the one player likely to leave who was a regular last season unless there are others leaving that as yet we know nothing about and as you say Gbamin may be a useful addition if he can stay fit. Of course if players do leave it increases the chances of us signing others.

Last season we complained about a lack of pace and the addition of Gray and Townsend do add pace but what is not known is how much they will play and what their contribution will be.
 

Kean and James out and McNeil and Rondon in has been inevitable for ages IMO.

Expect a RB on loan and maybe Longstaff if we can also get Kenny and Delph out.
 
The problem is no one wants our deadwood - iwobi Davies Delph etc - any link is just paper talk. Salaries are too high no doubt. One big mess of epic proportions
Its the same for everyone mate.

Listening earlier Arsenal have players lined up but cant get them in as they cant lose players themselves.
Even moreso around Europe even Barca & Madrid trying to shift players , most others in dire straights.
Its a very few "elite" clubs doing any business.
We are no different.
Something needs to change.
 
A few clubs are interested in Iwobi.

A couple of clubs want Delph, namely Watford, but he needs to lower his wage demands.

Davies were trying to use in swap deals.

So, Iwobi, Delph and Davies possibly out along with the Holgate and Gomes rumours...

Sounds like we might be trying to force Kean and James to find moves so we can actually buy a right back before the window shuts. Couldn’t be less arsed about Kean going especially if we get £30m+, but James? It’s the wrong call from Benitez.

I reckon its simply a case of giving Raiola some cash.

FFP rules changing next month according to this: https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/spo...news/uefa-financial-fair-play-salary-21301085


No idea on the premier league though.

Have to say, it looks like the same nonsense as we have now under a different guise.
