Getting to that time of year, more rest days than match days at the Euro's. Time to talk Liverpool.
In: Mane (£30m), Wijnaldum (£25m), Karius (£4.75m), Ragnar (£4.2), Matip (free), Manninger (free)
Total: £63.95m
Out: Ibe (£15m), Allen (£13m), Skrtel (£5.5m), Sinclair (£4m), Smith (£3-6m), Canos (£2.5m), Teixeira (£250k), Rossiter (£250k), Toure (free), Bogdan (loan)
Total: £43.5m
Starting to look a lot like we are going to have a net spend of zero this summer unless something happens we aren't currently aware of. Chilwell and Zielinski deals are dragging on. But they're pretty much all we have left to work on now, if the local journalists are to be believed. Loads of shite to shift and that's starting to move. Dahoud seems to have been left until next summer and Gotze is anyones guess.
Very strange feel to our squad and transfers this summer though. We seem quite stacked with numbers and I'd say quality in attack. Then plenty of numbers but not so much quality in midfield. And neither quality, nor numbers in defence. Klopp has his work cut out for him.
Friendlies start on Friday. Tranmere first, then Fleetwood, Wigan and Huddersfield in some order. Off to America to play AC Milan, Chelsea is it? and Roma. Then Barca at Wembley and Mainz on the Sat/Sun before the season starts. I've actually just signed up to LFCTVGO so I can watch them. Quite interested in our summer with such a strange squad. New signings, returning loanees, exciting youngsters. More interesting than last summer anyway.
If you were to take our squad as you'd expect for next season, you'd have something like this:
Second XI: Mignolet, Flanagan, Gomez, Sakho, Chilwell, Lucas, Grujic, Milner, Zielinski, Lallana, Origi
Others: Smith, Randall, Chirivella, Stewart, Ibe, Markovic, Ojo, Brannagan, Ings.
Expected to go: Bogdan, Wisdom, Skrtel, Ilori, Allen, Alberto, Balotelli, Benteke
Fuck me, we have about 1,000 players. No idea what Klopp plans to do with them all.
