Since Naby got a rest with his match canceled, should be ready to come back in and start! Unless his head is spinning due to the coup...

I'm convinced 99% of any rumours about a player is just agents trying to get some commissions by ginning up interest in their guy to move clubs. And/Or, trying to get a higher commission by telling the club that wants to by them, "But look, Liverpool wants them, it's in the news today!" That, or press just making up rumours to get clicks and newspaper sales. I actually got tired of silly season and don't pay attention to it anymore, ha ha, whereas I used to look at it for hours a day during this time of year, and coming to this forum to see if anybody else had some rumours, ha ha. I guess LFC will probably be pretty quiet in the transfer market until January or next summer, at least.

I've noticed his popularity this summer as well. No idea why trust and interest in his reports spiked, but he seems to get it right a lot of the time, from what I've followed of him.

If Keita could just stay healthy he'd be a fantastic player, I think. But you have to play regular games at mostly full health in order to get form, which we all know. But if his body ever let him hit top form he'd be scary to play against. Time will tell but it just always feels like a false dawn with him. I did see someone supposedly in the know that we definitely did bid for Chiesa. I'd rather the rumors for Barella are real. That guys a beast and will only get better. I don't follow Italian football as much as I used to so I hope I got those names right. With our defense back and healthy (stay that way please) and Konate we will be solid and hard to play against again. I expect to challenge for the league again but City and their endless supply of cash are trying to make themselves unbeatable again. Still can't believe they escaped any serious punishment for obvious fraud and refusing to turn over evidence in their sponsorship deals but there you have it. Premier League is still investigating but I doubt anything will ever happen. Well that's maybe discussion for another thread.
