He played for him at Inter
No chance he gets that. Does the number of players increase every month or maybe the journos are just making things up.
You'll be wrong..... This prediction always is.
Liverpool starting their business early.

How many attacking players do this lot need ?
Salah contract dispute and rumours of Mane off too, see them hedging their bets here.
This was always going to happen after they ran out of time to get the deal finished in january i guess. It’s hard to see how they can really strengthen their first 11 though. City needed a striker and got Haaland. We can close the gap quite a bit if we buy upgrades.
TBH there are 8-9 senior players I wouldn’t mind saying goodbye to this summer, but I really doubt Levy will replace all and I think too many players requires the squad time to gel
Ah yes! Updated!Forgetting someone?
FFS Levy, BUY NOW not last minute and waste half season settling gelling. Will you ever fukcing learn?
Priorities:
Decent L & R wingers
Decent back up striker
MID
CB
That's 5 players and really minimum requirement, will cost around £200m, don't think that tight so and so will spend. At least buy the first 2 lines.

Levy:
Been hoping for this for at least 15 years tbh.
You can swear to imaginary beings all you like
Think about our better signings over the years
Defoe, Carrick, Kanoute, Parker, Keane, Robinson. I don't have time to go back year on year and look for them all, but we have done very well from signing relegated teams players.
And it's not just us - Winjaldum to Liverpool, Joe Cole to Chelsea, Roy Keane to Man United.
There's good deals to be done and success to be had with this tactic.
That said, I'm glad Everton stayed up so we don't sniff around Richarlison. Fucking hate that prick.
Do our business, don't say it too loudly, early, and maybe they might gel.
Rather than selling 5 in June and signing 7 in September.
I'd bet any money we bring in six or more this summer.
Totally agree. There seems to be an awful lot of expectation management going on. Look at our bench yesterday. 4 kids who will probably be out on loan next season. We only had 5 injuries and 1 of those was Tanganga. How does that squad push the top 3, play champions league football, with 5 subs next season and a world cup slapped in the middle?
I was not fan of having Bale back last time around.
And success of his spell was mixed.
However now I would be on board with it, until he himself would be motivated.
Why?
Two main reasons -
1) Now we would not take him as starter as an expectation - we have Son; Kane; Kulu nailed to first choice attacking players. Bale would be a nice touch of class to bring on or use for specific occasions.
2) While under Mou, we had no structure. No steel in us. Everyone had to defend and press and so on. I believe (if Conte wants him ofc! and only then!) that in Conte's system, Bale's role could be different. Expectations for him would be different.
But once more - it all hinges on the clause that Conte would have to want him here.
