Viega, Szoboszlai, or Maddison? 

 

Probably don't need all three? 

Expand  

We could accommodate all of them.

 

Maddison wide right ahead of Almiron

Szoboslai centre left ahead of Willock

Viega centre mid ahead of Longstaff.

Twitter talk indicates Viega favours going to the scouse and playing for the horse toothed maniac.

I thought it was Szoboszlai who was supposedly desperate to work under donkey face because he said in an old interview he respected Klopp, Pep and Mourinho. Which is the most general thing you can say in football. I wouldn't pay too much attention to the chat from Liverpool supporters or Liverpool transfer accounts on Twitter if that's the source. They think every player even marginally linked to them is desperate to join and that it's only a formality before they do. The facts seem to be that they couldn't afford Bellingham, they've bought Mac Allister, albeit for a supposedly somewhat reasonable fee of around 55m, and they need defensive and box to box mids. I can't see them paying 35m for a player who's very similar to Mac Allister in terms of what he does for the team. Mac Allister can also play more defensively but I don't see that being a factor. I've seen players like Lavia and Thuram linked for that six role, and they're supposedly interested in Barella for the box to box player.

Twitter reckons Liverpool are favourites to get Veiga, and Man Utd are favourites to get the Napoli CB.

 

Nice to be even competing for this level of player though!

Are you lot not competing with the likes of Bristol City, Rochdale, Benidorm FC and Hartlepool United?

Arsenal were favourites to sign Bruno. Weren't Milan favourites to sign Botman as well?

Completely spot on. They’re fucking unreal, every top player in football grew up a massive Liverpool fan who is absolutely desperate to play for them according to that lot. Bellingham, a lad that was clearly Birmingham City through and through, was obsessed with Liverpool that lot reckoned and that worked out well :lol:. It’s complete delusion, a Liverpool glory hunter I know does it all the time - every top player anyone else signs was a target for them, or wanted to play for them etc.

Yeah the general point is correct, but unfortunately in the case of Veiga there seems to be weight behind the links. Some ITK journos have said they're favourites, and the Telegraph have said we're not in for him. Then again Romano is reporting that Liverpool are looking to speak to both Manu Koné and Khephren Thuram's agents, so again you'd think it unlikely they'd sign four midfielders this window even if they were light there last season. Maybe it's a case of one or the other between Kone and Thuram given they can both play as a six, but then again neither are one dimensional given they can play other positions.

Of course if that player then flops, his love for Liverpool is sharp swept under the carpet.

 

And obviously any transfer that didn't come off is because the player is clearly motivated purely by money and they wouldn't want a player like that anyway. You know because Liverpool famously pay their players with seeds and compost  for their allotments.
