The Draxler boat has sailed. Id take FekirI've watched the last few Liverpool games and I am really liking what I see from Can. Like Xhaka he's not going to win too many footraces, but he does show a little burst at times. More importantly, he's well-built and strong, a very good tackler, and he's got solid technique. He's a true B2B with actual defensive ability. Would love to get him on a free. Would still sell Xhaka though.
I am also gung ho on Alisson. Keeper is the one position we can address without worrying about how he would work with the other players. Also Alisson would work very well as a sweeper-keeper in a system that plays a high line. Spend the money.
As much as I don’t want it to happen, I think Ramsey could leave in the summer. If we got £40m for Ox, we should be trying to get £50m for Ramsey.
Also, would you sell Bellerin? He’s been poor this season but I can’t think of many other right backs I’d want, apart from Sidibe. I think we should set a £60-70m asking price for Bellerin, which is outrageous, don’t want to sell him but if someone bids that much they can have him.
The reports of our proposed summer transfer budget are slightly concerning but I still think we could have a decent window because we have so many average players to move on in the summer.
Hoping we continue with the 4-3-3 formation we had yesterday. If so, I'd do this...
Add somebody like Fekir, who would be perfect in a front three rotation.
Lacazette
Aubameyang
Fekir
Özil
Mkhitaryan
Iwobi
Welbeck
Then loan Nketiah and Nelson for a season or two.
Still need to add another midfielder too. Somebody like Ndidi/Zakaria/Fabinho. Midfield rotation would then be:
Ramsey
Wilshere
Xhaka
Ndidi/Zakaria/Fabinho
Elneny
Maitland-Niles
Just keep up with the three in midfield and build our tactical plans around that. I think it works best with the players we have and with how we push the fullbacks forward.
Of course, we still need a new goalkeeper and reconstruct the central defense.

I wouldn't mind selling Elneny and adding Jourginho in his place. Still think we need a true, imposing ball-winner in midfield though.Also think we would still benefit from a Jorginho type player. If you can't have Pjanic, and sadly we can't, then Jorginho is basically the next best thing. He knows the 4-3-3 like the back of his hand and he'd ensure we start dictating games from midfield again.
Alisson, Koulibaly & Jorginho would be unreal and bring us much closer to a Champions League outfit. Fekir would be the icing on the cake.
He ruined that poor kidNot sure what happened to the Starlets linked thread but this is interesting:
Look at him :
78 kilos as well apparently reminds me of those pictures of Lukaku as a 12 year old when he towered over everyone as wellI have to say, I'm quizzical about him actually being 12. That physique is absurd for that age. You could have told me he was 20 and I wouldn't question you.
Why the **** is he still playing with 12 year olds when he's so freakishly developed for his age? Just move him up to play against 15-16 year olds so they can at least trouble him physically in some way.78 kilos as well apparently reminds me of those pictures of Lukaku as a 12 year old when he towered over everyone as well

To be fair, he does have the face of a 12 year old, unlike that lad at Dortmund, Youssoufa Moukoko
Sidenote:
I have this weird fantasy which revolves around watching Yaya Toure playing in the women's world cup. So it'd just be him and the goalkeeper. I'd imagine the result would be something similar to the above.
Growing up playing basketball, I'm always suspect about kids who get such a big physical advantage so early making it. They don't seem to need to work on the holes in their game, because their physicality papers over the cracks and by the time everyone physically catches up over the next 3-4 years they're done.I have to say, I'm quizzical about him actually being 12.

No way he's 12, **** off.Not sure what happened to the Starlets linked thread but this is interesting:
