Who's your dream signings this summer then? It's gonna be a short. Rushed transfer window so we could do with players not going to the world cup or at least being totally out of favour with their current club.
My perfect summer would include.
Ryan Sessegnon. Toby Alderweireld. Marco asensio. Timo Werner.
It would cost an absolute fortune. But it would improve us no end.
This Sessegnon kid we've done everything but try to throw the kitchen sink at getting him in the past. No doubt he's talented BUT I'd fear he'd try and do a Sterling to us.
Out of that list Mr Bo the only feasible one for me would be Alderweireld because he would be an immediate improvement on Lovren , Matip & Klavan and he won't cost a fortune because of his current contract situation with Spurs. At 29 though FSG may not want to pay a nominal fee and a Big final payday in wages for Alderweireld.
Asensio is now becoming an integral part of Real Madrid and we haven't got a hope in hell of signing him unless we parted with Salah as part of a deal. Being Spanish also would put me off wanting to pursue him because we've learned that Spanish speaking players rarely want to hang around with us for too long.
Werner I'm not too sure on because he is more of a central striker and not a fit for our current strikeforce of pacy tricky attacking winger/midfielder. Leipzig will also play harball "IF" Klopp feels he can be moulded into our team. Werner does not have any contract clause so any fee will be HIGH.
I'd love us to sign 5 or 6 quality players to bolster our threadbare squad but know this won't happen judged on our history of Klopp/FSG. We have to prioritize and for me the biggest necessity is our Goalkeeper, somebody to partner VVD and a proper DM.
One that we should be going for is Max Meyer who is FREE to leave Schalke this summer. I like this kid he can tackle, pass and knows where the goal is...
On a sidenote who is doing our bidding as far as negotiating for players? In the past it was Ian Ayre and since Moore has come in he's basically said he's not the one doing our bidding...so who is?
My fantasy list: Oblak Alderweireld Fabinho/Jorginho Martial
My slightly more realistic list:
Oblak - on both lists but with a release clause it’s possible - £80m Lenglet - (has a £25m release clause and has been linked to some big clubs) - £25m Can to stay - free Winger/forward - undecided who I’d want. Someone comfortable on the wing or up top
Yeah, my fantasy list would have Rashford, didn't bother adding him as Utd wouldn't sell to us, but I think he may move on, especially after Sanchez has joined, he's be a great buy.
Martial would be an interesting one, he's got loads of ability and I think he would fit into our system, Klopp could mould him, just not sure if his tracking back/closing down, I think he will leave Utd, will they sell to us? can see him going to Spain or Italy.
Yeah no doubt united would refuse to sell to us, but I think he’d fit Klopps style like a glove as he’s pacy and could interchange with anyone in the front 3. You might be right about the tracking back though, not sure what his attitude is like in that regard, would need to be man managed

Utd do regularly buy from Rivals like Arsenal, Tottenham & Chelski, as Martial is not part of their first team, I think they might sell if we offered enough, as I cannot see them getting the big money from Italy or Spain for him, as the likes of RM or Barca wouldn't buy him.
