I wouldn't put it past us to have another terrible window, that is what I've come to expect. We should reserve judgement until signings are made

Every official news source and ITK had Arteta down as our new manager until out of the blue Emery became our manager. So sometimes these leaks aren't exactly the most reliable.

Jazz - my point is that while it may take many windows the fix the squad, there's no reason it should take many windows to start showing that level of intent. I'm sick of still being linked with Leno, Lichtsteiner and Sokratis. This "team" had 6 months to prepare for this window and it doesn't look like the outcome is going to be very good. I'll eat my words and doff my metaphorical hat if we sign Dembele and Diallo, but I really doubt it. Feels like the same old Arsenal unfortunately.

Yup. But still i’m Choosing to be patient.

Judge them at the end of the season.

Good, okayish and unknown respectively

Jury is still out, but I’m liking the overall structure and clear delegation of responsibilities we have at the moment

Aubameyang is better than "good".

apparently graham potter is going to be next swansea manager(according to bbc). will be interesting to see what he does there

I fucking hate this club.

Breaking | AS Monaco & Liverpool have actually agreed a deal for Fabinho, according to @mohamedbouhafsi.

Looks like it's done now. Fabinho , Keita, Fekir....gonna have a great team next season.

Fabinho would be an unreal signing for Liverpool, him along with Keita completely transforms that midfield from average to top class.

Don't think they even need Fekir, sign Fabinho along with a GK & CB and I think they'll be the closet team to Man City next season.

[edit]

He's now tweeted in French that a deal has been reached.

We really botched everything these last two years.

50m seems cheap. I thought he was rated at around 70-80m

They'll definitely challenge city if they get these purported deals over the line

Wow, Liverpool really are building something.

Just getting to the CL final seems like a great boost for clubs. It’s a shame we couldn’t make more of our constant presence in the competition.

Absolutely annoying.

We have completely fucked up the last few seasons. A player like Fabinho should have been a main target. To think that apparently the deal is an initial £40mil, compared to what we paid for Xhaka, it really is infuriating.

Absolutely, complete and utter shambles this club. The Liverpool owner unlike ours seems to be happy for the club to spend within it's means and try to improve. Our lot from the owner, board and manager happy to run the club basically to facilitate the owner's needs which are his operations in America. They set their goals as low as possible, finish top 4 and maintain a certain cash balance. What they didn't see coming was others around us would improve and were hungry to try and succeed.

A midfield of Fabinho-Keita-Fekir to go along with their super front three

Unfortunately Liverpool are on the verge of having an awesome team

Meh, no use crying over spilled milk. We can’t let what our rivals do bother us so much. They are further along now than we are in their “process/vision”, and are a more attractive destination right now

There will always be decent players out there to be had, and so long as we are on the ball and progressive going forward I don’t see much to complain about. We weren’t going to turn it all around in a single window were we?

Mate you were pro-Wenger for ages. "Let's see what he can do this year first" kind of thing. Now that it is SO obvious that we're not in a position to challenge you hate everything the board is doing, even down to appointing Emery. It's weird.

Have they signed Fekir though ?
