He sounds like a trier - one who can get knocked down, but he'll get up again, and you're never gonna keep him down ... I'll get my coat .....
Tyler Morton going on loan to Blackburn as the Matheus Nunes links get stronger. Remember, Klopp used Tyler Morton as one of the reasons why Liverpool do not have a need for a midfielder. Liverpool obviously like what is happening at Blackburn. They helped propel Harvey Elliott to the next level. We even sent Clarkson there last season, which didn't work out as well, but Liverpool trust Blackburn with their players.
I was hoping the Nunes stuff might be true as well but just read James Pearce crushing our dreams again . Told that talk of #LFC bidding for Sporting’s Matheus Nunes is nonsense. Club’s stance unchanged regarding summer business. No plans to strengthen midfield further in this window.
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh !!!! https://www.footballinsider247.com/liverpool-bellingham-sources-deal/ Liverpool are making strong progress on the sensational signing of Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham, sources have told Football Insider. It has been widely reported that the German club will not sell the midfielder, 19, this summer – we first revealed that on 21 April – amid strong interest from clubs led by Liverpool. But that has not deterred Liverpool from working on a deal for Bellingham to join in the summer of 2023. The Merseysiders are busy behind the scenes putting in place an agreement, much like they did with Naby Keita when he was at RB Leipzig.
In Bellingham we're talking about a 19 yr old who is already a couple seasons into playing regularly in a top league and has been capped 15 times at full international level. He's very good and could potentially be a kingpin in our midfield for the next decade. The club are assembling a new generation of young players for Klopp's next version of Lfc squad . We already have the likes of Elliott , Carvalho , Konate , Jones, Ramsay , Nunez ,Gordon and Bellingham would become the center piece of the project imo. Really hoping Ward can pull this one off.
It could be the Bellingham is motivated to come to Liverpool, and he is on board with how Liverpool’s wage structure works. Liverpool don’t start a 19 year old on a huge salary like Man United did paying Jadon Sancho over 300,000 a week. If Bellingham is willing to come to Liverpool at 20 years old on a reasonable salary, with bonuses, and the opportunity for raises over time, it could financially make sense when the player could potentially be at the club for 10 years or more. With Darwin, Liverpool were not put off by the enormous transfer fee, because they were getting a young player on a long term contract at reasonable wages. Liverpool might not be put off by Dortmund’s asking price, because as a long term investment it might make a lot of sense.
Juventus is as bit like Chelsea in having a clutch of unwanted players on high wages. Until those ones are moved on, any rumours are going to stay just that.
I don't know that selling Bobby for 20m would change our odds of winning silverware for the worse. I wanted Bobby a year before we signed him and have been a YUGE bobby fanboy - but his usefulness to us at this point is nearing nil and if we can extract such a fee, then we should.
His minutes were down last season due to injury and Mane moving to the middle after Diaz came in, but his performances when he played were still elite. He's looked sharp in preseason and with Jota's current injuries issues, Bobby is going to critical to us getting off to a good start and allowing Nunez to settle without the pressure to perform right from the start.
A deal for Liverpool's Brazil forward Roberto Firmino is reportedly "very close" with the 30-year-old set for a move to Serie A side Juventus.
I can't see Jurgen letting Bobby go right now with the start of the season almost upon us. Unless of course we have a suitable replacement lined up.
Bobby has also been playing with the first team in preseason. With Jota injured, it would put a hell of a lot of pressure on Darwin to hit the ground running. I was actually expecting Bobby to start the season in the first eleven with Darwin coming off the bench.
he seems to agree with you: "Bobby is crucial for us, he is the heart and soul of this team. Everything looks really good. He is essential for us."
We’ve been quite good at keeping players who want to stay. I can see a reason for his wanting to move on being more playing time rather than money.
