“only likely to enter the transfer market if a significant member of Jurgen Klopp’s squad leaves Anfield“. That’s surely a major risk they are taking by just standing still whilst Chelsea have already strengthened for next season and are going to strengthen even more. We will also be strengthening our squad too as well as Man City no doubt.Tweet

Potential bullet dodged for the rest of the league if true...
Yep, same thing we did last summer. You’d have thought we’d built up enough cash reserves to buy one or two players at the very least. Even with covid, but our owners are very risk averse. Signing Thiago is a pure footballing man move. Our owners and back room team don’t operate like that and given their achievements it’s difficult to criticise them especially with transfers.“only likely to enter the transfer market if a significant member of Jurgen Klopp’s squad leaves Anfield“.

Spot on. I would hate if you guys got him, however his profile does not seem to fit the kind of successful signings you have been making the last few seasons. For similar reasons I don't think Utd would get him either.Yep, same thing we did last summer. You’d have thought we’d built up enough cash reserves to buy one or two players at the very least.

This lad is a quality footballer though, the only concerns any team should have signing him are his injuries. Top 3 Centre mids in the world.
Could he work alongside Pogba in a 2 though? Is he defensively aware enough? Can't say I have had the pleasure of watching him much since his Bayern days, but as a youngster at Barce, he seemed like he would be the iniesta replacement.Think we will sign him. Have a funny feeling in me groin.
Fair enough, that strategy has worked out really well for you guys but my take on it is what happens for example if Van Dijk and 2 of your front 3 pick up very nasty injuries and are ruled out for months, are the players that will step in for them be able to make the same sort of impact?Yep, same thing we did last summer.

No, I don't think so. He'd be competing with Pogba, Fred and McTominay for the #8 position. Quality player, no doubt, but we'd have to shift someone if we actually had any interest in a deal (we don't).Could he work alongside Pogba in a 2 though? Is he defensively aware enough?

I will never recover from that. Can't enjoy a transfer saga again because of thatI have still not recovered from nos vemos en Manchester.
You lot won't do this to me.
Probably not if I’m honest. I rate both Matip and Gomez but it’s a tough ask for them to a title winning partnership. They’re both quality centre halves and there’s not many around in the league I’d swap them for but if they had to play Sep-January on their own? There’s also the fact they’re both injury prone, neither of them can stay fit and its why we need them plus lovren as they all get plenty of games.Fair enough, that strategy has worked out really well for you guys but my take on it is what happens for example if Van Dijk and 2 of your front 3 pick up very nasty injuries and are ruled out for months, are the players that will step in for them be able to make the same sort of impact?

Can't believe you called this last weekThink we will sign him. Have a funny feeling in me groin.
Makes sense to be fair. I’d prefer him to Grealish personally. Would probably cost less and he’s probably at his peak.Can't believe you called this last week
Looks like we're in talks with him now
What does it say? Any translations ?Tweet

There’s an article mentioning that we’re in talks with Thiago and Falk got asked on Twitter whether it’s true of false and he said it’s not untrue.What does it say? Any translations ?
Maybe we think Mejbri will be good enough in 2/3 seasons so are looking for a bit more experience in the meantime.Waiting for the " 29 years is too old " brigade to turn up
Thanks mate. I was referring to that screenshot in Spanish(?)There’s an article mentioning that we’re in talks with Thiago and Falk got asked on Twitter whether it’s true of false and he said it’s not untrue.
Ahh fair enoughThanks mate. I was referring to that screenshot in Spanish(?)
It is a story about Rafinha. It says that Rafinha would like to try his luck in the Premier League, which could coincide with his brother Thiago's move to England, as he is about to leave Bayern to sign for Manchester United.What does it say? Any translations ?
It’s funny how they are so blasé about itIt is a story about Rafinha. It says that Rafinha would like to try his luck in the Premier League, which could coincide with his brother Thiago's move to England, as he is about to leave Bayern to sign for Manchester United.
Typical contract extension stuff in my view. Liverpool have already distanced themselves from it, I expect we'll do the same.Wasnt he ‘definitely going to Liverpool’ a week or two ago? I feel like an agent is bigging him up or Bayern are doing this to get more money for him, or its all contract extension theatrics.
A good player however.
Oh my word I’d cream over this signing. Been one of my favourite players since he came through at Barca.Can't believe you called this last week

He’s miles better at that role than Matic isn’t he? He’s a ball playing DMInteresting, I thought we'd be going for a straight Matic replacement, i'd be surprised if we think Thiago could fit that role.
Bayern have confirmed he’s leaving I believe.Typical contract extension stuff in my view. Liverpool have already distanced themselves from it, I expect we'll do the same.
He does normally play alongside Kimmich though who does all the donkey work right? If we have the balls to play Pogba/Bruno and Thiago as a midfield 3 then it'll be exciting to watch that's for sure. Not convinced we'd be defensively secure mind.He’s miles better at that role than Matic isn’t he? He’s a ball playing DM

One of the most technically gifted players in the game. I‘d love to see him here. The main criticism of him is that he bottles big games.
His tackle and interception stats are pretty high though, better than Kimmich’s and Matic’s. I’d possibly shed a tear if we signed him........finally.He does normally play alongside Kimmich though who does all the donkey work right? We don't have one of those.
