Ahh bollocks! Just as things we're going SO well .....

Joe Gomez injury leaves Liverpool searching for a new centre-back - This Is Anfield

Guess Andre Wisdom has now dropped lucky and will be kept until at least January for depth?

Utterly gutted for Joe too considering he's worked through all summer in an effort to be back for pre-season. Chin up kid. You're our future back there.

*Edit* Personally, I wouldn't be looking to sign anyone unless it's someone like the kid from Hoffenheim. Just keep hold of Lucas and Wisdom for now as a dirt cheep emergency option.

**** he has bad luck. To much time near Sturridge. Hope he recovers
 
Not seen anything of the above, but congratulations to the English U-19's for clinching not only semi-final place with a second successive 2-1 win, but also a spot in next years FIFA U'20 World Cup in South Korea. Which all things being equal you'd think Gomes and Ojo at least have an excellent chance of being a part of that to further aid their experience/ development.

Sheyi came on after 64 minutes apparently.

Liverpool and Fenerbache have settled on a fee worth around £800,000 (€1m) for the season-long deal for Lucas. (Turkish website Fotomac)

If that becomes official, presumably someone must be coming in. Can't go through the rest of pre-season with just Wisdom and Illori/ kids.

Whats Kolo doing? Lol.

Few reports last night that the Gomez injury has meant Klopp wants an experienced CB... Kolo does fit that haha.
 
Apparently we have pulled out the race for Zielinski with Milan set to sign him... Seems Udinese really didnt want to do business with us!

The poor Pole. Posed in a L'pool top after Empoli's last game. Fair begged to come here all summer. Now he's left looking silly and stuck in Italy which he's openly said he wanted out of. Not a good situation for him.

Looks like we've had enough of Leicester too and have pulled the plug the same way we got tired of Gotze f-ing us about:

Interesting to see who we target instead... I am hoping the 'happy with what we've got' and 'willing to wait' is simply PR talk.

We need to strengthen further

No question. Starting the year with what we currently have at LB wouldn't be good to say the least.

Still only 16 days into the window mate and we've done more business than any of the other big 4/5 to press if you include Grujic who was in effect a signing this window.

Long time to go yet on both outgoings and incomings. Twitter is naturally loosing it's **** like with today's news on top of 'missing out' on Kante. Not sure how you 'miss out' on someone you never went in for like.

Oh yeah, certainly no time to panic - Others may disagree but Im quite happy the Zielinski and Chilwell deals may be falling through.

I think a better LB is needed and as good as he may be/become he seems an attacking midfielder - something we have plenty of!

Wouldn't disagree at all mate.

I'm made up we're not being held to ransom by Leicester over Chilwell. You could make a strong case if the potentials there that you get him in now rather than wait a years potential leap and Leicester suddenly want Luke Shaw money. But then that's also presuming they get him to sign a contract, which appears to not be happening at all right now. And there has to come a limit on what you pay for potential and £10 million for a kid with zero PL appearances is completely taking the ****.

As for Zielinski, that was a complete 'meh' to me either way. Not least because I've never seen him in an actual full game. But from highlights and what you read, we could do better. It was one of those 'meh, if Klopp wants him then fine as he obviously ticks what he wants. But if he's not in red next year, I certainly won't be down or ******.'

VERY happy with all our transactions thus far. It's been an excellent window to date and the new look, professional LFC at the negotiating table is brilliant to see. Still quite a bot of squad cutting and improvements to make, but things are shaping up nicely save for the Gomez and Sakho setbacks.

Yep. As good as Chilwell may be, he hasn't made a Premier League appearance and as you mention may not sign a new contract

I agree. I do like our business to date - I think we have strengthened well and done it at a low cost. I am personally just hoping for a few more first-team additions and we'll be well set with no European football.

Hopefully we don't be too strict with some of our valuations of current players. Benteke, for example, is unlikely to go for as high as 30mil in the future and for a player that will be scarcely used I hope there is a bit of common sense come the end of the window
