Indeed. Never great to see a late Liverpool winner, but in this case its not all bad. Their bench was fuming 🤣

Not if we've already got Bade lined up. Dawson's lack of pace would not not work well with the system either

Hes not going to Leeds, not unless they sell Harrison or James

Perhaps you're right. Only two PL loans but non domestic loans can still be completed

What is going on!!!?!?!? Imagine the scenes if we get Gakpo, Bade, AMN, Edozie and Larios. While at the same time shipping out Bednarek, Stephens, Romeu (disappointing but understandable), Redmond and maybe Walcott. Will there be a striker surprise also? We'll have used up our two loans, but cant rule anything out the way SR are getting on 🤯

Thats €35-40m which is £30-34m. Can see us agreeing on something like £26m +£5m in add ons

Whats the situation with signing a striker? Yes, we could bring in Gakpo but hes more of a winger. We've been linked with all sorts of strikers in recent months including Ramos, Kaladjzic, Delap etc but theres no concrete links atm. Were they being considered as replacements for Che and now we've decided not to sell? Are we going with the City approach from recent years and basing our attack on similar speedy players playing off one front man? Personally think we may be leaving ourselves short, even with signing Gakpo. Long and Broja have left and we've only brought Mara in. AA has also become more of a threat on the left as opposed to through the middle. An injury to Che and we could be struggling

Hopefully the last few performances don't reduce our eagerness in the transfer market. Pending outgoings (hopefully Bednarek, Stephens, Redmond and Walcott) we still need a striker, winger and CB in my opinion. Also a CM if Romeu is allowed to leave, although that may have hit the skids after Lavia's injury tonight

Adam Armstrong needs to go, not good enough at PL level.... He has been excellent most games this season

Thats nothing for a player who has performed consistently well in the Bundesliga. Hopefully we're still in the mix although we havent been linked for weeks

Ward Prowse watched him all the way

Would love Leicester to win that race. Another step closer to securing our whole 9-0 defence 😬. Their fans reaction would be priceless

What a shame. Devastated 😔

It is, but we've already signed a good young prospect in Mara. Hopefully we're targeting somebody with a few seasons of goals/experience in a decent league

Meteoric rise in the past year for the kid. Was third choice at Copenhagen 12 months ago. While he has shown glimpses of class, it would have been a massive step up to the PL

Chalobah looking unlikely as a realistic CB target if Bednarek/Stephens move on. AC Milan, Inter and Leipzig all interested in him

The same guy who has been binned by the manager for attitude/fitness problems and has been sent off countless times. Steer well clear. He would be fighting Ralph after one session 😂

Nice draw. Was waiting on the usual Palace, Arsenal or Wolves

Less than two years ago, AMN earned the first of his five England caps. He would be an excellent addition if we do lose Romeu. While he offers full back cover as well, he wants to play CM and I doubt he would agree to come here if we didnt guarantee to play him in his preferred position. Perhaps we're looking to move Diallo on as well

Think its safe to say that we're definitely in the market for a new CM with the Romeu exit links and the links to Garner, Winks and AMN

Indeed. His great piece of play to set up Aribo for the first goal against Leeds was the catalyst for us getting a result. He definitely adds more value playing a bit wider. Whether hes happy with that role, who knows, but hes still a good option in my opinion. Offers more than Ely, Redmond and Walcott

And everybodys entitled to their opinion. I've personally never seen him outside of highlights, so you're much more informed than I am. I just trust what our recruitment team see and the qualities he would bring to the team. Still not convinced hes our main target, but time will tell. I wasnt overly convinced with the signing of Aribo having watched 15-20 Rangers games last season, but hes done well so far and the decisions the recruitment team/Joe Shields are making are the right ones so far

So people have watched snippets of two games involving Ramos and have made their mind up that hes not good enough, nor will he fit into our style of play 😵‍💫. If we are genuinely interested in him (it might have been fed to media on purpose while we target somebody else), I'd be inclined to trust our scouting/recruitment team who have probably watched 20/30/40 games that hes played in. The signings so far this summer look promising so they've earned our trust

Are we expecting some sort of update on Ramos's future tomorrow after their CL qualifier this evening? The Joe Shields instagram like still has me intrigued
