Feels like Liverpool have told him to wait before committing as the club needs to raise funds.

With Kerkez likely to be the starting LB, such a move for Robbo makes sense. The only shame would be him not receiving a proper send off.

Do you guys think LFC won't bother with a striker now?

Wirtz and Diaz can both play false striker plus LFW. I think Kerkez, depth in midfield is more important than needing a goal scorer.

No, Lewis Steele, LFC journalist, has stated the Reds will look to bring in forward, however, they must first offload Nunez. Fabrizio Romano, too, has mentioned Nunez's exit this summer.

Eintracht Frankfurt's Ekitike is the one I believe the club likes.

It might be smart to find a younger version av Jota, a talanted scorer who dont mind the bench. Without injury problems of course. Selling Nunez, others and buying a striker is the smart way of FSG, Edwards. They don't buy for money they haven't earned by selling others.
I think Gravenberch needs a back up more than Pool needs a striker. Right the offence side of Pool has much better depth than defenders, defence midfielders.

I don't believe that's the case. It's very possible Liverpool are grooming Bajcetic to be Gravenberch's backup. Whereas, the club does not have a bona fide starting striker. As much as I believe in Salah, I am not confident he'll continue his goal-scoring form.

Additionally, I would put a backup CB as a need above your suggestion. If either van Dijk or Konate suffer an injury leaving him sidelined for an extended period, the Reds are in trouble. Gomez is far too injury prone to be relied on, and it's clear from this past season, Slot does not trust Quansah.
