Who should Liverpool's new top target be after being rejected by Yan Diomande?

This is a BIG blow to the Reds' summer plans 😓

I would not have vini jnr anywhere near my team. Great player but would think he was bigger than the team, and cause bad atmosphere at the club

I think we should be monitoring Vini Jr.'s situation with Madrid. I love Rio, but he is not ready to be a week in-week out starter in the EPL. He needs another year (or 2) before he's there. He can definitely contribute a lot more next year, but putting Salah type expectations on him is not realistic.

I agree on Vini Delaney, not enough people are talking about him. Expectation probably that he sings a new deal but it doesn’t seem to be a given. Obviously he would want to be the top earner and there is baggage re his attitude, but I think he would be brilliant for us

Whoever we get I want it to be a player who wants to be a part of Liverpool who wants to play for our club not a second choice and is offski the first chance they get

james.brooke2mo ago

Hard to find that these days!

I want rayan or Summerville

james.brooke2mo ago

Rayan yes please. Not sure on Summerville, don't think he's that great or will ever reach the right level

No, keep Endrick away. We don't need any clash of egos in our dressing room. And 2, Mourinho would not sanction his sale. Let's focus on a number 6 and, a good right back, and a good an experienced defender.

james.brooke3mo ago

Surely we need a forward as well though? We just don’t have enough

carolines.millerr3mo ago

Yes totally agree keep Gapko, he has proved how good he is in last couple of days , we must remember he wasn't the only player who didn't play well this season, nearly every one didn't play well. Now Slott has gone we should only improve for the better and get our special players back to the top

mrdelaneymiller2mo ago

His play during the World Cup didn't erase the awful season he had last year. He's not getting any faster and the EPL is all about pace. Personally, I think we should cash in on the World Cup boost to his value and move him on quickly.

james.brooke3mo ago

I hope he is not relied upon to be the starter again though Caroline, he needs someone pushing him hard, I think that’s when we see the best of him

Keep gakpo give elliot a chance

james.brooke3mo ago

Elliott should get a chance but we can’t go into the season with him as one of our LW options. Also his contract is up next summer, so it would be a risk to keep him at this point

mrdelaneymiller3mo ago

I'm seeing a new trend with LFC recruitment - make big noise about a transfer target just to get beat out by other clubs. It's happening over and over again. Caicedo, Lavia, Tchouaméni, Bellingham...and now Diomande. It doesn't exactly give the supporters confidence in our recruitment strategy.

james.brooke3mo ago

Yep, has happened way too many times. Hard to have confidence in them when the players they do sign turn out to be duds as well, which too many are.

nolanloggenberg23mo ago

They still haven't learnt their lesson have they, chasing targets in the media only to end up being rejected. We never used to operate this way, what happened? This is embarrassing.

james.brooke3mo ago

It is weird given it’s still being run by Edwards in the main. Feels so far removed from the 2016-2021 period

dantowen819513mo ago

Barcola is the obvious one but is there an argument that not signing Diomande will actually really help Ngumoha and Victor Munoz?

natalia.sltysk3mo ago

Barcola is better, more proven at the top level, cheaper and most importantly faster. Go and get him!

stuart_upton2mo ago

Your not thinking straight, hes not worth half that, and you know it.

david.comerford3mo ago

I worry he goes to Arsenal

james.brooke3mo ago

Go get Barcola and a young left footed right sided player. No idea who as I’m not keen on Minteh and he’ll cost too much. Rayan looks the best option, maybe thats do able but will cost a bomb

freddie3mo ago

Feel like it’s gonna be Barcola but he can’t be that good if nobody else is pushing hard for him. I’d go like Summerville personally. Prem experience too helps!

james.brooke3mo ago

Just feels a bit underwhelming Summerville, could see it happening though
