ok so within reason and within the financial means, which player(s) do you want your team to sign for next season?
 
I'd love to see Lukaku or Sanchez signed if Costa leaves for the China. In midfield someone like Idrissa Gueye from Everton or Fabinho from Monaco for more depth in midfield. Someone like Conti (RB from Atalanta 5 goals 4 assists this season) or Sidibe from Monaco. Three signings would be enough because Christensen will be back for CB cover and Tammy Abraham or Traore can be backups too.
 
Man Utd need a striker and another centre-half.

Liverpool a goalkeeper and a centre-half.

Man City a goalkeeper and at least 1 centre half.
 
Depends on how much money we have. Liverpool need a forward a few defenders, winger and few midfielders. If some decent change is left over then a bid for a Kasper Schmeichel would be good. Goal keeper is not a priority at this moment.
 
Real Madrid need a good natural replacement for Marcelo,which will be very hard to do.We don't need any other players,except maybe another quality GK.

Our bench strength alone is better than most clubs in the world.
 
Hard to say. It all depends on growth of young players and who will be leaving during the window.
If DDG leaves to Real, get Oblak from Atletico
If Ibra's injury was a career ender, get a striker
Rooney will leave, potentially another full back will too (Shaw? Darmian?)
Carrick isn't getting any younger - do we buy a replacement this season?
Also we need a winger. Although we have many attacking players in Martial, Lingard, Mkhi, Mata: only Martial is a pure winger, which I'm sure Jose doesn't like since he wants specialised roles for his team.

Going back to a striker, it could hurt Rashford if we get a striker like Lukaku who will be first team. No doubt Lukaku is the better player but Rashford has more potential at just 19. So it's obvious he will get a striker but choosing one will be tough - a part time ST to support Rashford or a striker to replace Ibra. If he goes for the latter, I'd love to see Cavani here. If the former, hm it's hard to think of someone at the top of my head but Hernandez-esque would be perfect.
Greizmann is the specialised winger we're most likely to get, and he can also play as a striker. I don't mind the signing, he's a quality player.
I think we'll also get another midfielder as backup to Pogba, Herrera, Carrick, Fellaini. Even though we have Fosu-Mensah, Jose doesn't seem to trust him as much. It's also a case of getting another midfielder to replace Rooney plus TFM injured himself and will be out indefinitely.
Defence is fine. Tuanzebe played amazingly vs Arsenal, and he looks to be the part. We also have Smalling, Jones, Rojo, Bailly, Blind who all play CBs where most can slot at either RB or LB for cover of Valencia, Young, Darmian, Shaw. He might sell Smalling and Jones due to being injury prone however, and I wouldn't blame Jose.

So overall, a striker (starter or sub), Griezmann/winger, central midfielder. If more people leave, expect more signings.
 
For UTD if De Gea leaves then Lloris or Forster

For a Striker ideally Griezmann they are also linkup about a striker from Torino Beldini

But if G'man is not lured then I would go for Ajax starlet Dolus or Dolfur whatever it is

They need a full back as well Walker is unhappy at Spurs why not Walker
 
douglas costa, william, de sciligio, Corentin Tolisso

to leave juve - de cegile, asamoag, sturaro, Mandžukić
 
yr after next get in ousma dembele from dortmand and get oblak from ath madrid as buffon will retire, then a right back as alves and leichenstenier will be too old in 2 yrs time
 
Real Madrid need a good natural replacement for Marcelo,which will be very hard to do.We don't need any other players,except maybe another quality GK.

David Alaba- best left back in world - can play CM position / sandro, i dont think juve can keep sandro if someone bids around 50m euro's for him
 
douglas costa, william, de sciligio, Corentin Tolisso

to leave juve - de cegile, asamoag, sturaro, Mandžukić

By William do you mean Willian or Inaki Williams or someone else? Also Mandzukic has been a key player for Juventus why do you want him to leave?
 
william from chelsea - i dont see him fit into 3-4-2-1 formation at chelsea. I would like him at juve as he does track back for the team and juve need pace.

Mandzukic - if someone like west ham puts a bid in for him say like £16m i would gladly accept as hes 31yrs old. Thing is with him that hes a very hard worker for the team but he carnt pass and he carnt play on the wng as good as douglas costa. With mandzukic he doesnt score enough/assist enough/killer pass enough.

Hes a striker but not a top player like mario gomez but slightly better. With juve earning again the most from this Champions league again we should have the money to splash out.
 
Knowing Mourinho, We would defiantly be in the market for a physically strong DM, it has been surprising that he didnt sign one last summer.
 
It is all about Liverpool defeating Middlesbrough in the final match on Sunday. According to reports if they do Klopp will be given net £200 million to spend. I am looking at him signing four or five top quality players for that money. The transfer kitty will be further increased if the likes of Sturridge and Sakho are sold. One player we should consider is John Terry on a free for a season or two.
 
For Liverpool, I think, we are short in at least 5 spots. Good to have is another 2. These are the layaers I was looking for


LB: Options are (not necessarily by order) - Kurzawa, Mendy, Rodriguez, Kolasinac, Sciglio or even D Santos
CB : VVD, Koulibally - at least Tah or Laporte (Or we'll have to call back Sakho, which I don't see happening)

DM : Kieta, Carvalho, Dawood, Kroos, Kongdogbia, Gustavo or Fabinho

LW: Moura, D Costa, Alxis Sanches, Barbosa, Asencio, Mabappe, Lemar
CF : Lecaazzette, Aubamyang, Morata, Luan Viera, Diabala or even Belleti

Personally, if I am to pick 5 - these are my dream choices :

Benjamin Mendy (Monaco/France), Khalidu Koulibaly (Napoli/Senegal), Nabi Kieta (Lipzig/Guinea), Kylan Mabappe (Monaco/France) & Alexander Lecazzette (Lyon/France).

Mabappe could be obnoxiously expensive for a 19 years old kid- in that regard, I don't mind Gabriel Barbosa (Inter/Brazil).

On top of that, our squad is skeleton thin for a full season in EPL & CL. I would like to have 2 more changes, but not essential -
RB : Danilo (Real/Brazil)
GK : Oblak (AM/Slovenia)

Whatever combination you wish to pick - it'll cost at least 170mn & at least 575K/week (combined) as base wage for first 5 players. Add another 60 mn for Danilo & Oblak (+ 170K/week).

End of day dreams - those Yanks will give 25mn & add another 75mn from sale (that too because of CL qualification gives them at least 75mn extra) - then they'll increase Klopp's bonus for his lip service. On top of that, if any one offers 40mn for Mane or Firminho or 60mn for Coutinho - all 3 are gone.
 
[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION]

Fan's like me will go berserk if any of our top players are sold despite qualifying for the CL. The owners have a chance here to prove the sceptics wrong by seriously investing in the first team. It's weird, at the start of every season our squad looks much stronger then somehow shrinks by the end off it. We need to invest £200 million in buying top quality players otherwise these owners will be as bad as Gillette and Hicks. £25 or £30 million won't even buy us one leg of a class player!

And Spurs will just let Lloris go?

Hopefully that doesn't happen :ashwin

C'mon Gooners!! I might dislike the gooners, but not as much as the scousers.

Willian has been very good in nearly all the games he's played at RF/RAM this season, and will play a lot more next season with the UCL being a part of our season. He's got a contract till 2020 and he's very happy and I don't see how he doesn't fit into the 3-4-2-1, since he can play as a winger and a CAM.

Mandzukic has got 18 goals and 4 assists this season which isn't bad for someone playing out of position at LM and who has to tracks back the most out of the attackers at Juventus. He also wins more duels than Costa and is better physically and gives Juventus another option upfront as Alex Sandro can play on the wing.

Hard to compare Costa and Mandzukic statistically because Costa has barely played for Bayern due to Robben and Ribery.

I was gonna ask you how likely you think your prediction will be true because they will never happen. Liverpool go for second-rate players who have potential - not always world beaters. Expect another mediocre transfer window with no huge signing, just faces to add to the squad.

You have to go back to No. 18 post in this thread, then click the link to know my real feeling.
 
A right back not named Bellerin ... I can rant all I want but we will sign him because he is Catalan.

Disco Isco - doubt Madrid will let him go but you never know.

Verrati or Coutinho if we cant land Isco.

40 + Gomes for Coutinho ?

Andre could fit in well under Klop.
 
Man Utd need a striker and another centre-half.

Liverpool a goalkeeper and a centre-half.

Man City a goalkeeper and at least 1 centre half.

City need fullbacks - I expect Pep to go for Fabinho who will fit in very well in his system as RB and can play CM as well. Also he's been scouting ex-Barca B captain Grimaldo who is an up and coming left back at Porto.
 
So far "reliable" rumour is that, Yanks are ready to break the bank for Benjamin Mendy, Naby Kyeta & VVD - that solves the defensive part more than enough; though I still don't trust Mignolet - would have spent up to £50mn for Oblak (if Sir Stones can be bought for £48mn by the greatest, Oblak for £50mn is bargain).

Those 3 should cost around 125mn - if stills Yanks can give some more, I would bring a right winger, preferably Barbosa. Provided that Sturridge is not cashed. Henderson, Milner, Ings should be sold - costing £350K+/Week for their British passport.

Those would be excellent signings for Liverpool if they could get a top winger to go with it like Douglas Costa they'd have a good chance at going deep into European competition.

Costa most times start from Bayern - he might cost well over 50mn in this market. Only realistic chance could be if Sanches moves to Munich from north London & Costa demands a transfer. Besides, Liverpool works in a strict wage structure, which won't allow mark-up salary for new comers. Barbosa is young, cheaper & extremely skilled with pace - he is perfect Klopp type player, who loves to run. At 21, if Klopp gets better of him, by 23, he'll be world class like Rues or Aubamyang.

Ideally, we should replace Sturridge with Lecazzete (Or Mabbape :(), but that's unlikely - Athletico is a better club than Liverpool at this moment & it won't change as long as those Yanks are leching there. Mabbape will cost either side of Pogba's fee, therefore not encouraging.
 
City the next Real Madrid throwing $$$ like water

Mendy the next on list

Ideally UTD should get him and sell Darmian
 
Liverpool can't afford marquee signings by marque signings its the one who cost more than 70m

They should try on Zaha
 
Man U need 2 strikers, to replace Ibrahimovic (who won't be back after injury until the end of the year even if he doesn't leave, which he will) and Rooney (who will leave). Griezmann plus one other?

Man U need another defensive mid. They lost 2 during the year (Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlin) and Carrick will be less effective even though he's signed for another year.

Man U need at least one centre-back. Rojo won't be back until the end of the year, and I think they'll sell at least one of Smalling or Jones. I think Smalling.

Another full-back, possibly two.

Martial is not guaranteed to be kept (I hope he's not sold). But hopefully they sell Young! So at least one winger needed.

De Gea replacement if he goes to Real.
 
Costa most times start from Bayern - he might cost well over 50mn in this market. Only realistic chance could be if Sanches moves to Munich from north London & Costa demands a transfer.

Bayern are probably going to signing Brant from Leverkusen and Coman on a permant deal, and with Ribery and Robben still at the club, there is no room for Costa. I'm not sure what season you've been watching, but Costa has been far from a regular starter. In fact, he's made 14 sub appearances this season and has only started 2 of his last 10 games. He's played 589 minutes less overall in the Bundesliga this season than he did last season. I think with the right offer, Bayern would be willing to sell.

When you say Barbosa I assume you're talking about the striker from Inter Milan. If so, I think he would prefer to play up-front as a striker and lead the lineup, which he's done for Brazil and the occasional appearances he's made for Inter.

Personally think Lacazette is overrated, 12 of his league goals this season have been penalties which is a pretty big chunk of his tally. Mbappe is extremely talented and would be a great singing for basically every club in the world, he'd probably like to stay at Monaco for a season or two to develop even further.
 
So we bought Vincius Junior,a 16 year old,for €45 million.Too much money.

Also,there are reports that RM and Manchester City bid €130MN for Mbappe,outrageous if true.

A Brazilian wonderkid that's barely played a senior game goes for 45m. What has the world come to? :)))

Costa actually was injured for 10 weeks this season, otherwise he is a regular starter. For a team like BM, it's difficult to start every match, and his injury at the start of the season probably limited his minutes. His detailed season actually indicates, at 26, he'll start more than Ribery or Robben going forward. I think, this year as well he had higher minutes than Ribery. Unless someone better is hired, Costa's spot isn't in much danger - he is the only senior left winger there.

Lecazzette is a Klopp type player, who has speed & can play in interchanging 3 positions in forward line. Klopp doesn't play conventional target man as CF.

Yeah but even in the big games he wasn't trusted and if he really was their number 1 winger he'd start ahead of either Robben or Ribery in the games in the knockout rounds of the champions league. He was on the bench against Arsenal and Real Madrid for both legs IIRC.

I agree with you on Klopp not prefering a target man as his striker however I don't see how Lacazette is interchangable in the forward line.

He is speedy but you need more than just speed to cope with sometimes being shifted outwide during a match and I don't see how he will be used to that as at Lyon he plays with two natural wingers who do the work out wide for him while he stays central.
 
Willian has been very good in nearly all the games he's played at RF/RAM this season, and will play a lot more next season with the UCL being a part of our season. He's got a contract till 2020 and he's very happy and I don't see how he doesn't fit into the 3-4-2-1, since he can play as a winger and a CAM.

Juve problem are in the counter attack - were too slow and mandzukic cant run/pass/dribble. i would love to see cotsa on the left wing for us - with his pace.

Also william as he does track back a lot- i think he will suit us more than chelsea system

That's true but Juventus normally have a lot of possession and Costa is really poor defensively. Willian does track back more but he's been excellent when told to play in the inside forward role, Chelsea have no reason to sell.

That's why I want costa in the team - rather improve our attack, then sit back and hold out a 1-0, 2-0 win.

Cuardado for me has not enough end product for me- hence I like William.

Supposedly Chelsea want Bonucci - if true I'll do a straight up swap with William

I feel like Willian for Bonucci would be like Morata for De Gea, unlikely and the negotiations would just be a mess. Swap deals barely ever happen
 
So far, our great owners from America, for their beloved soccer asset, have bought a kid from Chelsea for free (That kid ended up as best player of U20 WC, hence CFC is now trying to give a twist in the tale, but truth is - we got him free).

So far, Klopp has
- missed VVD because of tap in
- talked with agents, but can't bring Mbappe, because of squad congestion (money was there from the Yanks)
- Not interested for Salah anymore, because of his over valuation
- won't go for Mendy because of unhealthy competition with rivals (which spoils the good reputation)
- Not interested for Ruben Neves, because he has put a clause of guaranteed 1st team time (No one can bully LFC)
- Won't bid for Lecazzette, for business ethics (until he has finished talking with Arsenal & Atheletico)

Eventually, what I see that Klopp will bring few of Solanke's peers from Championship & those Yanks will pay him bonus for his lip service - and we'll be happy that next year, we have 450mn kitty reserve for bringing CR & Messi together.
