More Sarr gossip – Watford apparently demanding £40M We should offer £15M plus Harry Wilson.

You don't announce today and take attention away from college football being cancelled on Trump's watch.

Don't forget to post an ear-to-ear grin on IG while calling Hitler "the Führer"!

Seems to be the rumor on Twitter as well. I'd love to see it and think it'd be a great move to remind people that you're not just voting for Biden, you're voting for this entire team.

Well I for one am shocked that the 25-year old Republican candidate from North Carolina idolizes fucking Nazis.

Gonna announce on Wed, right? Lots of primaries tomorrow and wouldn't want them to be a distraction at all.

No news but I think we'll get Sarr done. Makes too much sense for all parties. I'm not as bullish on getting Ben White though. Brighton will play hardball and I don't think we'll be willing to pay the asking price. The Brooks rumor is so out of left field that it feels either spot on or complete horseshit. He had a great season the year before last but I'm skeptical that he's anywhere near the quality we need. We've also been linked with an 18-year old Brazilian CF named Talles Magno. No way in hell he gets a work permit though.

Little insulting to Danny Drinkwater tbh.

Fair point. As well as the Raptors are playing right now, they're still not on the level of either of the LA teams, and almost every team in the West is a potential banana peel. (That being said, I'm not encouraged by what I've seen of the bubble Bucks.)

As a lifelong Bucks fan, I hope you're right. But I've been pretty underwhelmed with what I've seen from them in the bubble. Granted, we have the #1 seed locked up and our first round series will likely be a formality, so there's plenty of time to get things up to speed, but I dunno. This team looks off the pace to me right now.

Been a huge fan of Tsimikas for at least four days now. Very excited to see us land him. I wonder if he might be able to cover at RB as well, because apparently he's got a good right peg on him. No questioning his athletic ability – dude is fast as shit.

Tsimikas played for Olympiakos against Wolves yesterday in Europa League and it sounds like he looked the part. Tbh I'm kinda hoping we sign him instead of Lewis, because he seems like he'd actually be able to slot in for Robbo in games other than the cups. I think Lewis is very much a work in progress.

Agreed, but it feels like it's in their best interest to sell. Player wants to leave, they have a ready-made replacement, and tbh it's good for their club stature to sell players to Liverpool. (I realize how arrogant that sounds but just like how they can point to James Maddison's success at Leicester, it's a nice selling point for their academy recruiting to see players go on to massive clubs.) Pretty sure we get this one wrapped up in the next few days but I'm not too fussed either way, assuming we get the Greek kid in if Lewis doesn't work out. He looks a bit more polished to me.

Ha. Beat me by seconds.

Gonna go with a no to Kanye actually being on the WI ballot.

Norwich apparently asking £20M for Lewis. Obvious posturing but I doubt we go above £10M for a backup LB who's gonna need a fair amount of coaching up. We've also scouted Kostantinos Tsimikas, a 24-year old Greek from Olympiakos. The caveat of it being a YouTube compilation, but the Greek looks fast as hell and a really good attacking player.

The idea that Black people are a simplistic, naive monolith who'd vote for a musician simply because he is Black is so racistly on-brand for the Wisconsin GOP. The ironic thing is that Kanye will peel more voters from Trump than he will from Biden.

Seems like a good deal for both clubs.

Reddy's description "provide competition" to Robbo is a bit of a stretch, but I'd gladly take him. Sarr, Jamal Lewis, and the Algerian CB (or Kabak) would be decent, if frugal, business.

He played in an FA Cup match and a few League Cup matches. Was pretty shaky, as I recall.

This sounds like when my father-in-law was hoping for Donald Trump to be the GOP candidate for president.

I don't know if he's better than Gomez but I'm guessing he thinks he's better than Gomez. He'd also get a significant pay raise, play for the best manager in the world, and play on a team that competes and wins trophies at the highest level. He ain't doing that at Schalke. I guess in my original post I was more asking if we think Nat Phillips is a guy who can play a role in the first team this year. I think we could do worse, but I'd also like someone who's challenging for first-team minutes.

Seems like every team needs a CB. We've been linked with Ozan Kabak, who sounds like a promising talent. He's just 20 years old and plays for David Wagner, an old chum of Klopp's, and no one else seems to be linked with him. I wouldn't expect us to get into any sort of bidding war with Schalke, nor will we meet his £40M release clause, so if we can't get him at a favorable price, what are the odds that we just bring Nat Phillips back to be our fourth-choice CB? Phillips got 19 appearances in the Bundesliga II last season and reports from Germany sound like he looked the part. He also played for us when he was briefly recalled for the derby and he looked pretty good, from what I remember, especially for a guy who was just thrown into a makeshift lineup with teammates he never plays with. Phillips is always a guy who plays well during preseason then gets loaned out somewhere and he hasn't had a real shot at the first team. Given that he's now 23 years old, I would think we have to either give him a shot or see what we can fetch for him in the transfer market.
