I can't tell you how excited I am to sign a player called Ragnar.

Wijnaldum could be decent for you if he can find some consistency but he felt like another Moussa in waiting by having absolute stormers against the likes of Norwich (he scored 4 goals in one game ffs) before going back into hibernation till the transfer window season awakens him...
He'd have to play for his position at Pool though, so that could spark an improvement in him but I'd still snap your hands off for £20m if we can use that on other players (which is never a cert with Mashley). A better option than Sissoko imo but we don't need either of them in a promotion push as dominant as they should be in the championship

Interesting contrast between the figures banded about for Wijnaldum, few days back most places were saying he'd cost spurs £25m but now it's a 15-20m range being cited for Liverpool.
Would have thought for that price we'd be back in again no doubt to claims that all we ever do is steal you lots transfer targets

I have this strange need to type potential teams out during pre-season for some reason. So with more of an idea of who we're getting (or at least an updated version) here is what kind of squad we'll be working with and who still needs/may have to go. Karius
Clyne - Matip - Lovren - Moreno
Can - Henderson
Mane - Firmino - Coutinho
Sturridge
----
Mignolet
Flanagan - Sakho - Ragnar - Smith
Grujic - Milner
Lallana - Wijnaldum - Ojo
Origi Defence a clear worry there. I'm not sold on Matip - he certainly has qualities - he looks as calm on the ball as any Liverpool CB I've seen for years. He's huge and spoke of need to get bigger, but I think he'll be a bit of a project, I expect shaky moments. Perhaps likewise Karius. Having been really hard on Clyne last year, his England performance gave me hope, I'd like to see more of that. Moreno is as mad as a box of frogs and I can't see it changing for all the talk of coaching. And Lovren, you can't really hang your hat on after 4/5 or so good months. Smith and Flanagan as cover for FBs a huge worry, might get away with one but would worry with both. Manninger, Gomez, Brannagan, Ings all around the squad to varying degrees and participation too. Manninger clear 3rd gk/2nd coach. Gomez there is talk of this being more a recovery year for, hence Ragnar, so we may not see much of him with the first team. Brannagan I think could be the surprise. I think he could take Lucas' spot and get a decent amount of game time. And Ings will get his chances over the course of the season, no doubt with injuries and such. I think Lucas & Markovic could be two casualties this summer. They may stick around, but looking at the squad I think they could both struggle for game time. You're probably also (thankfully) going to see next to no game time for Stewart or Randall - unless things go really wrong. Bogdan, Ilori (prob won't because of olympics), Allen, Alberto, Balotelli & Benteke all still there to be shifted.

We've got a keeper on up front. Pre season is boss.

i know it's crazy we're getting so little for him

I'm actually surprised it's only £13m which is a loss on the stupid amount we paid for him but with his performances at the Euros I'd have thought we'd get more.

Wouldn't be surprised if Swansea came in for him as well and we made the £15m back in the end.

Wijnaldum fee agreed. Glad that has moved quickly. I'm quite happy with this signing, think he's a very good and versatile player. Another with goals and pace.
In: Mane (£30m), Karius (£4.75m), Ragnar (£4.2) Matip (free) Out: Ibe (£15m), Skrtel (£5.5m), Sinclair (£4m), Canos (£2.5m), Teixeira (£250k), Rossiter (£250k), Toure (free), Bogdan (loan)
£25m for Wijnaldum and say £13m for Allen, currently looking at a sizeable profit from this window if business is done and Benteke etc. go.

Still think we're a winger and a tackling midfielder short, especially if Lucas and Markovic leave as well. Heard rumours of Medel a few days ago.

Starting to look like a Klopp side that. Pace, goals and work rate everywhere.
