Liverpool have another league title in them but I think that’s about it.

As far as their evolution goes, it’s highly unlikely any replacement signings would reach the level of their current top crop.

I think the stars just aligned perfectly with the likes of Salah, Mane, Firmino etc. Nobody could have predicted they’d turn out as well as they did. They were hardly ripping up trees on a consistent basis at the top level when they came in. It was pretty much a case of lightning in a bottle.

If they won’t pay the top fees going forward and things start to drift and with Klopp leaving down the line, then I can see Liverpool back to being just another top 4 contender with only ever a small chance of the title.

I highly doubt they have one more title with this crop based on the type of football they play. As soon as front three drops huffing and puffing they are just another mid table team.

Their punctuation is fucking shite though. Real, Madrid?

I actually read that as City, Chelsea, Real with Madrid as frontrunners but I think you're right.

Anyway, if Tormund Giantsbane thinks we're in with a shout then it's good enough for me.

His dad has an awful lot of say, defacto agent.

He can get top money anywhere, but they do have a vision and road map as to what will suit him best.

As I said the other day, it may well be a perfect storm opportunity, simply because I don't see Barca or Madrid having the current lure or resources to make it happen.

I have felt for a while that he wants to come 'home' to England, and that the two main clubs we must concern ourselves with are United and Chelsea.

We have our own blue-tinted lense, but those clubs will also have their appeal and pitches.

However, the fact we can pitch the Aguero replacement/successor, Pep and a team full of winners, coupled with the old man's former association, people would have to be ignorant to dismiss we have a wonderful chance of persuading him.

And that's before paying him top wages.

Now imagine if that equation could include playing with Messi for a couple of years?

The boy and Alfie have been very smart with their decisions up to this point, nothing I hear on the grapevine suggests they suffer fools.

Does Alfie like us ? We were a very different club back in his day .Did we treat him ok
I guess now we will find out

They are an ageing team.

Van Dijk is 30 this summer, Henderson and an out of contract Wynaldum already there.

Milner is 35, while Salah and Mane will both be 29 this summer, with little chance of earning big moves unless Liverpool reduce their valuations.

Thiago 30 this summer, Firmino in October.

It's really poor planning.

Said this in the Liverpool thread, they are in a very precarious situation this year.

Wijnaldum is off in the summer as they cant pay him what he wants.

All their big players have 2 years left on their deals this summer (Salah, Mane, Van Dijk, Firmino, Fabinho) along with the likes of Oxlade-Chamberlain, Keita and Henderson.

They probably wanted to move a Mane/Salah on this year for stupid money but very few have that money. Even if they do there are other younger, cheaper options for them to be pursuing. Liverpool cant afford to let them get to last 12 months of their contract so they are going to have to fork out £££ immidiately to protect an asset for each of these players, or save money by letting their contracts run down in the hope they cant still demand a higher fee

Also, they still owe about £50m on Jota/Thiago.

Liverpool wont be doing anything of note this summer and thats even with CL. If they dont make that then they are absolutely fucked and we can all celebrate.

Anyway back to Haaland, you cant afford to miss out on him really, you need to go all out for him.

Wish we had a hope in hell of being in contention for him!

In two years time they're at risk from having an almighty drop off.
