If Liverpool spent that 80 million on a couple of decent defenders they really could challenge this season, but spending all that on yet another pacey wide forward seems crazy to me.
Perhaps they're playing a smart long game- get CL football by having a shit hot forward line, then spend at the back a season later

They trying for VvD even before the windows started.. :shy:

But still your point holds, even if they signed VvD, they gotta get some decent defenders ffs!

Agreed, then again we seem to be buying only defenders. Poch and Klopp both buying what they know best but perhaps we should swap targets

I'm not being funny but Lemar will join any of the other big clubs if they make a bid over us because they'll offer far higher wages. He will only sign for us if we are the only club to have an offer accepted.

How bad will Liverpool feel when we sign him for £45m + add ons:)
I still don't think Monaco will sell him, they've sold enough.

Only way this has a remote chance of happening is if they want Sissoko, 55m+ Moussa might tempt them.

Most recent Guillem Balague tweet saying Arsenal confident of signing Lemar and with that in place will allow Sanchez to leave for City.

This windows has been quite illuminating in a way if news on Barkley and Llorente choosing Spurs over Chelsea and Foyth preferring us to PSG is to believed. Maybe $€¥ and a trophy cabinet isn't actually the be all. So I wonder at this time given a choice, if Lemar would sign for Spurs rather than Arsenal too? if we have an interest of course.

I'm sure we have interest, but not the £90m that Monaco want.
