Here is the absolute dumbest rumour of the day

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/22563435/kenny-tete-liverpool-transfer-fulham-hunt/

"Liverpool lead three-club race for Kenny Tete with Fulham star available for cut-price £10.5m transfer"

"Liverpool lead three-club race for Kenny Tete with Fulham star available for cut-price £10.5m transfer"

The story is credited to reporter Isabella Barker who is a Fulham supporter, so she is either being very mischievous in winding us up or may be wants Liverpool supporters to get excited that they might actually bid for a decent player.

Or it might actually be true.

Hazard has been released by Real Madrid - let's get him in a Fulham kit and rebuild the really good front 3 of that Chelsea team of about 6/7 years ago with Willian on one wing and Hazard on the other! (and before anyone moans about this post, it is tongue in cheek...)

Hazard-Mitrovic-Willian would be pretty similar to Hazard-Costa-Willian

Hazard-Costa-too much!

We were linked with Franck Kessié in the January window, I wonder if we will go for him this summer

Mr Khan finally has his opportunity. A summer transfer window as a stable premier league team. He is one of the richer owners in the premier league time to show your ambition.

I was really excited about this transfer at the beginning of the season but after reading that I think we should move on. We should be trying to build a team to compete with the big boys so the only reason I see for buying him is to make a quick buck when he wants to leave next year.

If Manor stays it will be up to him to put in the performances in pre-season so Marco can't leave him out. I hope we see him as a vital piece in the attacking jigsaw not as a chance to get him for free or on the cheap and then flog him next summer.

The best things I saw from him were the Brighton goal (left foot) and the interplay with Mitro vs. Wolves (? I think?). If he does stay, we need to build more moves around him where he can actually match up 1 vs 1. Otherwise I think he's a bit like Podence at Wolves - looks good here and there, but can't quite cut it every week.

When watching the highlights of all goals scored this season, it struck me what a fantastic that goal against Brighton was. His speed is a real weapon but when he gets the ball he has mostly been facing a set defence in their final third. If he stays, we would need to see how we could utilise his pace better. The other speedster, Dan James, also barely got a chance to use his pace to good effect, leading me to conclude it's to do with the way the team builds up its attacks.

Luka Milivojevic on a free? As Mitro's penalty coach

No thanks. Speed was never his main asset, but he got even slower. Not suited for our high pressing style at all.

Sorry, but I just don't buy this philosophy.  I don't think any team acquires players for the primary purpose of selling later to realize a profit.  I've seen this sort of thing mentioned about Carvalho and how L'pool only looking to turn a buck.  I just don't see it, I think teams are trying to acquire players that will help them win football matches.  Again, JMHO.

Brazilian Winger Tete is available on a similar deal that Solomon would be - potentially could get 2 wingers for nothing this summer, both have contracts expiring in December so could be taken permanently

I think Mr Khan has already put his money where his mouth is and that's why I am happy that the increase in ST prices is warranted, funny that people want him to shell out his hard earned cash but don't think they should do the same!!!

Leicester are in trouble next season, I think.

Youri Tielemans, Çağlar Söyüncü, Daniel Amartey, Nampalys Mendy, Ryan Bertrand, Ayoze Pérez and Tetê leaving Leicester.

Can you ever have too many Tetes? #ffc https://t.co/1cWSjbSFd7

If he could stay free of injury, I'd love to get in James Justin from Leicester; but he'd probably just become the next Kongolo.

Average of 15 games a season and - as an England international - I bet he earns a decent wage. I think we let Forest get him.

Out of that list i would take mendy and amartey as goood squad players Amertey can play rb cb and midfield but I would rather sign Aina
