Good, the numpties can move on from the least likely and most unnecessary Spurs transfer link ever
Tuchel has called Eze up, but listed him as a forward. I don't watch internationals, but I suspect this is because he's playing as a WF rather than a #10. So he's not really being called up in preference to Maddison who can play tgere when needed but clearly should be in the centre of the park.
Either way, it really isn't a matter of Eze or Maddison. We need both to be the team we want to be and replacing Maddison with Eze either makes us worse (my opinion) or only very minutely better (some others' opinions).

Elliot might end up making Liverpool look silly if they let him go and get regular football
It still IS early
Last season hasn't even officially ended yet FFS!
Besides the og post was still a lie.
Exactly what I’m saying.
Norgaard doesn’t bridge the gap in terms of MF quality, he’s a depth piece,
We need to focus on players who can be the level of Rice and Zubimendi then Bentancur is our depth
He looks ideal for a Dortmund loan, but Jobe took that position already. Leverkusen maybe.
Even with England U21’s being much weaker than 2-6years ago, there is still a sprinkling of elite talent. Still stronger than their European peers collectively under Carsley.
If Romero was set on leaving, and we could get £70m by valuing Elliot at £30m of it, might be best way to eek high return (Rodrygo <-> Romero will never happen, would take Guler similarly, more risk as no Prem experience Vs Elliot, but higher potential upside).
He's waiting on Utd...
Agree broadly, but, if given a choice of £70m worth, via £40m + Elliott. Or, €50m +€10m extras after months of haggling with Real/Athleti, would be a decision to make.
I'll sell anyone anywhere if they'll give me way more than he's worth, but Liverpool aren't stupid.
We have dorrington as well but he may as well look for another club. I bet if some of our academy players were playing for other clubs we’d go in for them!Do we not need to keep Vuskovic if we want him to become Club trained.
We paid £65M for Solanke based on one decent sesdon
Put Solanke in that league and he'd likely be scoring at a goal a game too. His value was so high because he's homegrown and a proven Premier League player. There's no question about whether or not he can adapt to the physicality and pace of the league because he already plays in it. The closest thing Gyokeres has played to the Prem is the Championship where he was far less effective than he is in Portugal.I said arguably, and I think considering his numbers over the past 2 seasons (which includes Champions League) he has to be in the discussion.
The Portuguese league hasn’t seen a striker like him since Falcao, and many would have put him in the discussion of one of the best in Europe at Porto.
Also I would argue about teams regretting paying 60 million for him.
We paid 65 mil for Dominic Solanke who score 9 PL goals, if you think Gyokores wouldn’t match them numbers you’re kidding yourself.
Ooooooo you've got a new one in your collection!
Looking forward to seeing this many times in the future.
Like a new signing!
And muniz is average too if we spent 50 on muniz on top of the 65 for solanke we are dumb

Won’t happen anyway, thankfully, as Romero will stay once we sign Eze and look good pre-season.
Davies needs to go ffs! How many seasons are we going to put up with a steady Eddie. He is basically blocking pathway for younger CBs. I don’t want hear oh his done ok when he plays.For me I’m thinking Frank wants to play back 3 and at most sell Romero.
RCB: Danso, Takai
CCB: Dragusin, Vuskovic
LCB: VdV, Davies
Plus Gray also
Dragusin will be out a while too. Davies can be safely not played as well.
