Kiefer MacDonald

How are you assessing that one at the moment?

And, you know... But do they have a choice almost?

I feel like if we were transitioning last season, we made a fist of it.

No progress.

Negative progress.

Some indictment that you're implying there.

It is a tricky one.

I actually don't, I think I'll depress myself if we digress into the fact that Liverpool may still lose their sporting director within the next couple of weeks or so.

And that Liverpool maybe have an arm on their back because of the spectre at least that hangs over the manager.

So let's just deal, stay in the here and now, stay with the names.

Yandere Mande, whether Kiefer's points are all valid in terms of reservations about this type of signing for a good chunk of change?

But Liverpool seem to be very strongly linked to him by the people you would want to be linking people to him.

Listening to Kiefer's concerns there about that kind of play and his lack of experience and what he would cost and all the risk factors, it's easy to come to a quick conclusion that what are the alternatives for Liverpool?

Who are they going to buy who's a sure thing?

I think they almost have to be throwing themselves on the crap table of life again in the transfer market.

I suppose it's ever thus.

You're doing the transfer committee.

Is there a Sadio Mane type of player?

Not Sadio Mane we bought, not Sadio Mane we got.

Somerville, maybe?
