Did they put you in beside Sturridge?

No tellies in the morgue, I'd say.

LFC CONNAUGHTON

The only player I thought looked completely out of his depth was Stewart. Ojo, Teixera and Smith were all very good and I think deserve to be offered an opportunity in some premier league games soon.

Finding it hard to believe it's a coincidence Liverpool waited for Boards to go down before offering Mingolet a 5 year extension.

Francie Barrett

Even livescore.com are getting in on it!

Klopp needs to start bringing in the youngsters into the league games now, the league is over for us. Time to start seen who has a future young and old. I'd bin Lallana and Milner straight away.
I want to see us stick with Ibe, he's young, he needs a run of games. He is no worse than Lallana at the moment and atleast offers more of a goal threat. Ojo too, that was nice to see playing with 2 pacy wingers and a no.10 just like Klopp had at dortmund.

Benteke did alot of good things last night but again in the 2nd half so many times he was on the edge of the box not in the 6 yard.

Smiths delivery is exceptional, we need that from atleast 1 of our full backs, so I think we should give him a go instead of moreno soon. I like Moreno its just his final ball is usually against a defender.

In Klopp we trust.

He's out of contract so a loan isn't an option. I'm sure he's looking for one last payday so no way he'd sign cheaply either.

LFC going for Alex Teixeira according to some papers this morning....

Thought he was still under contract until June? Read that Spurs were still paying him 100k a week.

Some very strange comments from Klopp over the past few days.

Mignolet is 'perfect'.

Benteke is the 'complete' striker.

Rodgers would have been burnt at the stake for such jibberish.

Some of Klopp's comments cam be put down to the language barrier.

He may mean Mig is fine for Liverpool, and doesn't literally mean perfect.

And 'complete' simply means Benteke has all the raw attributes to be a great striker.

Chief executive Ian Ayre has flown to Florida where Shakhtar Dontesk are at a winter training camp and played a friendly with Corinthians.

Liverpool value Teixeira at around £25million which equates to just over 30m euros. Shakhtar want nearer £39m (50m euros).
Chelsea were keen on signing Teixeira, 26, but baulked at the asking price and have instead targeted Pato in a £7m deal.

Manager Jurgen Klopp has made striking reinforcements a priority with the injuries to Daniel Sturridge, Divock Origi and Danny Ings plus the ongoing difficulties endured by Christian Benteke.

Benteke spurned the opportunity to claim a morale boosting goal in last night’s 3-0 FA Cup replay victory over Exeter City.

26 goals in 25 games this seasin for Shaktar,

Our Teixeira is out of contract at the end of this season as well as Flanno. Hopefully both will be offered new deals, although Teix at least I wouldn't blame for going elsewhere at his age now.

Hoki

£24.5m bid tabled for Alex Teixiera confirmed by James Pearce.

Knex*

I hope this doesn't end up like Sanchez, Willian, Mkhitaryan etc.

Positive is how the story is now confirmed by Pearce, without any build up and speculation prior to it, so can be taken that we are serious about the signing.

Hopefully having Klopp at the helm will help us this time around.

Francie Barrett

Hmm, will Teixeira be good enough?

Yea if Chelsea match the bid or better it I'm afraid he'll go there, depends on which Brazilians Teixiera prefers I guess - Lucas,Coutinho, Allan and Firmino or Willian,Ramirez, Oscar and Kennedy. Tough call , if he likes tattoos we win!

Gbear

It's puzzling that this has only appeared now, so late in the window.

It'd make me skeptical.

marklazarcovic

at least we are trying to address the issue, tekkers looks shattered of confidence,that header he scores in his sleep on a normal day,he's trying to be too clever,too technical..

i love the optimism klopp is giving everyone at the club, "hey your good,just listen and learn,ill play you" , young lads must be loving that

Sceptical you don't believe we have bid, or sceptical that you don't think we'll be able to agree a deal? I'd say the bid is real anyhow, it is being reported in the usually sensible places, not just clickbait sites and 'twitter ITK' type places. I'd be sceptical myself though that we can agree a deal though.

Late in the window? There are 10 days of 31 left , not late at all really, there are more transfers done 'late' in the window than early. Plenty of time to get this over the line.

Turtyturd

18 million in for our spectator, 25 out for a forward who will be on the pitch. Make it happen.

Vicxas

Exciting transfer if true

Both I suppose.

Its not the sort of thing you do on a whim 2/3 of the way through the window, is it?

If we were planning on doing it the whole time, you would've thought we would've pushed it forward before we let the league season become irrelevant.

I just don't get the thought process.
Did Klopp just decide he wanted someone the other evening during his tea?
Did we only just realise he was any good?
Did we find a spare 30m quid in our pants when we were doing the washing?

rob316

Oh yes, a massive transfer I can get behind. Surely the player is interested or Ayre wouldn't of flown out to Orlando to do a deal.

I do have one concern, why hasn't he played for the Brazilian senior team yet?

I would imagine transfer negotiations are fairly complicated, I doubt we just said **** it lets just buy a player in the last few days. There may have been lengthy negotiations for weeks for all we know. The papers have got hold of the story now when there is something more concrete than "sources close to the player have said" etc........chances are his agent has let the media know so he can get a better deal from us or a different club now that his client is prepared to move.

Klopp said a week back that the media were going down the wrong path with Pato, so its plausible we were looking elsewhere.

Turtyturd

Anyone else expect pictures of a drunken Ayre with Mickey Mouse on his shoulders, or hanging out in Diagon Alley?

I'd be well impressed if we'd managed to keep negotiations under wraps for so long.

Alternatively, it could've been that Chelsea were nailed on and their pulling out is what's triggered this apparent scramble.

There are lots of this process that we don't see or understand I'm sure. There may have been a process to identify and try and sign players that took a while (yes I agree it could have happened earlier too). Perhaps we wanted to sign someone else but they wouldn't have welcomed the approach. Perhaps we were interested in others but decided against it. Who knows.

I would imagine this transfer if it happens would impact Lallana's position at the club the most.

What about the idea of him being a better AM than we already have?

He scores goals which is what we need.

Why one is a striker and the other is a headless AM?

Alex Teixeira is a left or right sided or central attacking midfielder not a striker.

Apologies I stand corrected with those stats I was sure he was a striker. Seen a bit of him play in CL never knew he was an AM.

Klopp must be going with the false 9 so, worked well against Arsenal just lacked a bit of cutting edge against united.

In the way Firmino is?

Strange that he is not in the Brazil team, nearly a goal every 2 games for shaktar

Agent Coulson

Obligatory hype him up to the best in the world Youtube video

Lord Trollington

Don't know enough about Texeria to say too much.

Other than I really hope we're not spending another £30m odd for an attacking midfielder flopp

brevity

When asked about Pato, Klopp said "that's the wrong path" (or words to that effect) was he alluding to the fact that we are signing a Brazilian just not Pato?

He has a great goalscoring record. I'd have him ahead of Ibe or Lallana on that basis alone, and I've never even seen him play.

Sappy404

The talk now (Russian journo) is that Teixeira injured his hamstring immediately before Liverpool made a bid. Seriously.

Teixera's done his hamstring. :pac:

I trust you were after having a few drinks before posting that

Harry Redknapp only recently recited an incident with mr billy big-boll1x himself, when Redknapp told him to do something, the great man's response was along the lines of "No I don't think I need to do that, I earn more than you.."

Similar to Mario in outlook, football is not a priority in his life.

Of course he has.

We need to invert the injury-news delivery profile, as in.. it's only news if a player is NOT injured for a whole month.

Turtyturd

We've signed players with worse injuries than that.
