Thats huge money for a kid off the back of a big injury. Tripper to move to LB? Edited July 20, 2023 by Kid Dynamite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 14663 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Livramento, Barnes and Tonali would be outrageous business before we’ve even reached August 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 49836 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Good bit of movement if this and Barnes go through in the next few days. That's some of the main priorities addressed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2317 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I'm still not convinced Livramento will play LB, and that we won't still need someone to play ahead of Burn down that side. Livramento still makes a lot of sense given his potential, his and Trippier's respective ages, and the need for quality cover all over the pitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could still do a job I reckon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 7567 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 We’d be racking up the right backs. Tripper, Krafh, Ashby, Manquillo and Tino. surely flog off Krafh and Manquillo this summer (somehow) if Ashby is good enough to cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing out on Europe would be a massive set back in our development and inevitably lead to the breaking up of some of the side. 10 fucking years?

Polarboy 2317 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) We play them first game of the season. It's going to happen, he'll likely score, so we may as well prepare for it 😂 Edited July 20, 2023 by Polarboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 4661 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Not that bothered. If us, Arsenal and other clubs that were rumored to be in for him kept their distance then there is likely a good reason. Might just be a Villa level player. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal might have been happy enough after they got Trossard in January. If the rumours are true in regard to both us and Arsenal being very interested in the last year or so, I don't see what would have changed since then and now. Ours and Arsenal's transfer priorities may have changed as opposed to us just going off the player entirely. In any case his ability to play at the highest level in the PL will only become apparent once the season gets underway. I see people saying he'll be another Bailey for Villa, but I don't think we'll be that lucky unfortunately. You don't get into the France squad if you're shite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2317 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Seen a clip of Walcott saying that Livramento reminded him of Bale when he first came through playing as a full back. Whether he's actually that good, or he'll eventually make a move up field into a more attacking role, only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he'll necessarily be shite. Looks like a few CL clubs looked at him and decided otherwsie. I don't see any of the European big boys chasing him either. Makes you wonder.

Kitman 2325 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Stephane Guivarch btw to those who dont recognise him. A good old fashioned flop, now selling swimming pools. Or piscines in French, which sums up his performances for the toon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Really like the possible Livramento signing, he can play either full back position (as can Trippier), and a left flank of Livramento and Barnes is very pacey, strong, and direct. It’ll be interesting to see if we sign a right winger or if Gordon is the plan for that flank. I still think we need more this window but we will have a really strong first 11 that you can see clearly fits Howe’s system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser 1365 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 £30m for Livramento? There must be a lot of clauses and condition in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still very young though. Haven't seen a lot of him admittedly but he seems to fit the type most of us were calling for at LB last season, pacy, great on the ball and able to provide a threat when attacking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
