I don't want Mason Mount at Liverpool because of one big reason but we can't ignore Chelsea warning

If anyone favours a move to Man United over Liverpool, then I don’t want them, not a chance. I actually think Mason Mount is a really good player. I think he’s very talented but I don’t know where he’d fit in with our system.

I wanted Jude Bellingham but that’s not going to happen now. We don’t have the funds. It’s a shame.

He was the one everyone wanted but it’s not going to happen because of the way Liverpool work. But look, whoever we get, you trust the manager.

There will be limitations with price-tags and he has to work with the limitations. So we’ve got to wait and see what he can do.

I’m happy with whoever we buy though because he’ll be Jurgen’s man. You trust him, you trust the manager.

Alexis Mac Allister is a good player, absolutely. He’s had a great season and won the World Cup. He’s one of at least two midfielders we have to bring in. Two top quality ones.

We’ll see. They’ve put plans together and know what they want. The way Jurgen Klopp does business and wants to do business, the players that he wants, he’ll try to get them in ASAP.

There are going to be some incomings anyway and if you make too many changes, too soon, you just need to look at what’s happened to Chelsea this season. I think that three are definitely going to come in anyway as it stands.

If they start shipping players out and then bring in five of six, you’re at risk of that.

Potential exits

Caoimhin Kelleher is a top goalkeeper. You wouldn’t want to see him go unless the manager realises he has to go out and play for himself.

Fabio Carvalho looks like he’s going to leave. Jurgen’s said he might go on loan. At the Newcastle game in August, he was very lively and has got great ability.

But he’s lost his way for some reason. It didn’t help that we were letting goals in and weren’t solid at the back or in midfield.

He is the type of player that you could be a little reluctant in many ways to play him in midfield. He could be a bit of a luxury, but he has got talent, absolutely.
