It'd be a tricky one to pull off this - he's bang on everyone's radar.

One possible upside for us is that we could offer him a fairly direct route into first team football. Most everywhere else he'd be struggling for a squad spot.

Could also try a cheeky buy and loan back deal as per Zaha all those years ago. But rather fancy he'll be out of our price bracket.

Li VAR pool dont often do us any favours but if we have to give CG back to Chelsea perhaps this lad can fill that loan spot ?

We haven't got to give Gallagher back, he's here until the summer.

Must have been tapped up as out of contract in summer

I'd still love us to go after him.

I wonder if you could tempt him with an unusual contract offer.

Say, a contract with a 'relatively' low clause. Say £30m (nothing nowadays for a Liverpool player).

At Liverpool he will be bit part at absolute best. With us he has the chance to play regular game time in the Prem.

If he has a blinder of a season, he'll be worth 30m or more, will get a move and we'll make decent profit.

Playing devils advocate, Fulham are likely to go back down, and he might want a more solid base.

If he thinks he is going to get into the Liverpool team, well he isn't. At best he'll play the odd domestic cup game, maybe a European group game when they are through.

Whilst unlikely, I don't think its out of the realms of possibility. We are a club on the up, and doing a good job at demonstrating that we are a great place for young talent to prosper.
