Contrasting rumours regarding the striker situation.

First one, it is likely Diaz, Nunez and Chiesa stay. We will only sell if someone meets the asking price and only Saudi seems likely to do so but none want that move in a world cup season. Without these sales we will probably not buy a striker.

Second one, Newcastle are closing in on Ekitike for about €80m. You’d think with that big purchase and Elanga they’d need to sell big as they are not far from falling into PSR issues again. But the chat from the North East is they want him to play with Isak not replace him. Can’t see that happening myself. Not exactly the same style, Ekitike likes to roam more, but I think it would be one or the other and you don’t spend that amount on a rotation option. One to watch.

I remember seeing that page Ed, and yes was thinking something like that. But as you said best to see how it goes and you’re right the forum is represented mainly by only 3 teams.

One to keep an eye on maybe as the season unfolds.

Note, my favorite aspect of this forum is the inter-club talk and I’m in no way advocating a change to that.

How very presumptuous!

My concern is when the season is in full flow and with the number of Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool fans now posting, some posts could disappear on to page two within a day or two.

Steveo, it’s merely a suggestion, wind your neck back in. I appreciate what Ed has done and if it’s too much work/time then he can tell me, but I don’t need you to come across telling me to be grateful.

Nil assume you mean the Konate/Rodrygo rumours? They have been about for a few days but no actual credible reporting.

I would wonder if Madrid would be up for such a deal when they can sign him for nothing next summer. I’d be more concerned that they might use Rodrygo on a player they covet but clearly cannot afford in MacAllister.

Swaps are actually fairly rare with top teams.

It seems Konate and Diaz are looking to leave so yes I would take that deal. I’d then play Salah and Rodrygo as wide forwards that can come narrow or float about and Wirtz in the no 10 at the head of a diamond midfield. A very fluid forward line. Fullbacks high and wide.

Well we won the league last season without one for the most part. PSG are winning everything possible under the sun without one. I’ve said it many times it depends on the tactics and I don’t think we’ll be exactly the same as last season.

Sorry have all those players gone and now the window is shut for us?

Chill, long way to go before we need to stress about our attack.

Nil place 4 or 5 around Salah means 3 or 4 of our players are free. I hope they do this, we’d score shed loads.

People going on about Eze, where does he play? He has played LW but operates more centrally and move to no 10 last season. Are we forgetting Wirtz already? Eze is not a winger/wide attacker.

The whole “Diaz is underpaid” thing is a myth, he’s on 140k a week. Probably about right for his level.

Yup ginger was just coming on here to post that.

For those who haven’t seen it yet:

🚨🚨🤯 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: “Ibou Konaté is REJECTING new deal proposals from Liverpool. He wants REAL MADRID LIKE TRENT”, says Marca. 🤍

His contract expires in June 2026. 😱👀

Maybe Diaz doesn’t suit the tactical plans? I cannot see us set up exactly the same as last season. Or maybe the many rumours of him flirting with other clubs are true and indicate he actually does want to leave? Doesn’t matter what us fans think on a forum.

That could be the plan Plastic, although I’m not 100% if we need a winger replacement, for me it depends on the formation and where Wirtz plays. And by that I do not mean Wirtz is a winger, and is actually determined more by how and where the fullbacks are set up. To me it could be we buy either a first 11 winger or striker but I doubt both. Obviously the horrible recent events may have affected the transfer plans.

🚨🎖️ 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐍: Luis Díaz is now set and READY to join Barça without any guarantees or conditions, says Mundo.

“He believes Barça can register him”.

But it’s Mundo…

Barca links are a little odd. Williams was clearly their no 1 choice but he would only join if the concerns over registration were mitigated. They weren’t so he didn’t, signed a new deal at Bilbao.

But surely the same registration concerns would be felt by Diaz too? Why take such a risk with your career?

Bayern have lost Musiala for a while so will need some additional attacking flair and to give their fans some cheer. They are still upset about losing Wirtz!

Although we have said he’s not for sale I think if someone offers 80m or so I think he’ll go and I think it will be to Bayern.

Then it’s Fofana to replace. Or Gordon, but I’m not convinced myself.

Can fully understand if people don’t want to talk about football yet, it’s a very sensitive time and we can all make our own choices. I am one that will get back to normal with the attitude the world doesn’t stop. If that upsets anyone I am sorry but you don’t have to read what I am saying.

With that said i will contiune. Rumour here in Germany coming from Bild is that Diaz has signalled his willingness to move to Bayern. The German club who were already looking for a LW, have just lost Musiala to a big injury and will be desperate to add some attacking flair. Despite ljverpool regetting any approach for Diaz the talk of him leaving is not going away.

Apart from being a top level footballer he was also a very good gamer and rose to no 1 rank for Fifa and ran an Esports team.

One of my favorite stories about him was the time he was playing an online game of Fifa 22 but had to cut it short to go play an actual game for Liverpool. I can picture a face of surprise when his opponent read the message!

Anyone else see a world where Konate doesn’t sign but stays and plays, goes for free in a year and likewise Guehi stays and comes to us for free in a year? Risky admittedly, but Guehi is very keen to join us and assurances could be made.

Would need a CB this year aswell, probably a youngster like Hato and/or Alt Boudal.

Cherki is a flair player, Pep doesn’t work well with those he likes robots. See Grealish as an example. Think he will flop bad.

Eze is a good player but I don’t understand why anyone would want us to have him given the players will already have. Its overbloating a postion and would be a waste of money. If Wirtz didn’t happen then sure. If Gakpo or Diaz go I’d rather get a LW, likewise if our strikers go get a striker. Don’t shoe horn players in.
