It could also be argued that it's a case of individual quality is there but could be the system that is leaving them badly exposed aswell

Yeah, I could see the argument for Lovren being let down by the system he's working in... we've seen him play well elsewhere in other systems etc. But Klavan is just a limited player full stop. He was bought to be fourth choice, and that's about right. Cup games, and the absolute worst of injury crisis. But at 3rd choice CB as he is now, he's much too close to being in our first team than i'd like.

Agent Coulson

€170. New NB Trainers.

Turtyturd

On the Howedes thing I think Arsenal just off loaded 'the best defender in the league' Gabriel leaving them with only the three 'best central defenders in the league' so wouldn't surprise me to see a deal already done there to make Howedes 'the best central defender in the league'.

Knex*

Oh man, Howedes would be fantastic. Really hope we're in for him.

Jesus Wept

Think Klopp was wearing them the other night? Had red trainers on.

Turtyturd

They're an improvement on the LeBron ones.

Vicxas

They were released back in May. Haven't been in stock once on the official site.

Jesus Wept

Big mug of tea and a chocolate muffin. Sign that German lad.

We won't be. Probably Everton, Southampton, West Ham or similar.

Agent Coulson

Go in big to Schalke for Howedes, Goretzka & Meyer that should cover CB and Midfield till the next window anyway.


Edit; Just saw another one who got away is there Konoplyanka get him as well and give Schalke €100m.

Osmosis Jones

Considering he's played for years with Matip already it makes far too much sense for us to get him.

Weren't schalke pretty ****e defensively?

J Mysterio

Potential Howedes deal seems to be such a good fit, could be almost perfect. If we are not on that.. something, something.

Lovren out of first 11, happy Matip? How was their record though? We should be able to buy Howedes and another good CB too. God knows we need it.

Harry Palmr

So then, howdy to Howedes?

jasonb

A *very* quick Google shows that Shalke finished 10th last year, let in 40 goals in 34 league matches (joint 4th best in the league and the other 4 teams that let in 40 or less all finished in the top 4), and Howedes played in 31 of those 34 games.

It seems like such an obvious fit for us, but then what do I know?

Agent Coulson

Howedes at 29 would be the perfect stop gap player to get till VVD if we are to go back for him next season. (Still think there is more to playout with that transfer yet)

Then Howedes would be a great squad player to have.


Howedes, Matip, Sakho, Lovren, Ragnar & Gomez would be an ok group for the season.

Howdy ho! Maybe mr Hankey can make so

Ferris_Bueller

Would be very happy to see Howedes come in but would almost put money on it that we will not be in for him. Very frustrating to see players like that going for so cheap (in comparison) and us not to even seem interested. Matuidi was another one, went to Juve for €20m today, would have been the ideal fit for this team IMO, but not sure if he would have come in fairness. Getting very frustrated at this transfer window and our lack of activity, questions will have to be asked if we lose Coutinho and don't bring in a few new faces.

Barca getting whopped. 150m coutinho bid incoming!

That lad is shît to be fair.

L'equipe in france are reporting that psg are considering selling draxler this window.

Be mental to not try sign him again even if we end up keeping coutinho

Rather shocked Nivea haven't demanded his signature.

Barca fans will be demanding answers after these two losses to Real. Incoming bid of 110m plus likely/

Howades, Draxler, Matip - Schalke are the new Southampton!

Agent Coulson

Luis looks old and missing a step these days.

Don't forget Goretzka and Meyer - hell just buy Schalke, at least that would be legal for FSG.

He isn't quite as good as he was. I think we got his main peak years out of him.

Agent Coulson

Anyone think Madrid would do a deal with us for Coutinho in exchange for Asensio and some cash.

Harry Palmr

Liverpool have sold their best and worst strikers very well on the whole - 65m, 50m, 30m, 18m, 16m (! ) 0.4m and at the best time bar Keegan.

Asensio is going nowhere - he and Isco will be their new midfield stars. Better to go after Mario Kovicaiacaicaic or whatever he is called.

koppy

I know sahko is still a Liverpool player but has anything official been said or written that he has any chance of getting back involved . Only thing I saw was him having a number which doesn't mean too much. He seems to be mentioned a lot as an option but I don't see why..

Jesus Wept

We sold Suarez cheap.

Barca are so ****ed.

That guy on the board has done so much damage it will take years to fix.

I'd say they need a big signing or two to appease the fans at this stage. Wouldn't surprise me if they come back with 120M for Coutinho.

Harry Palmr

Clearly Barca will feel they HAVE to get in bodies to appease the faithful so they'll be back with one 'not to be repeated' offer of probably 130m quid. Could Liverpool say no (they should) but what if he keeps agitating to leave? You'd hope he can see he'd be jumping onto a sinking ship but as I've said before they'll still do no worse than finish 3rd and qualify for the CL again which is more than Liverpool can be sure of. And maybe Coutinho might think if he does go he'll be a bigger star then might have been the case if they were in better shape and a part time starter.

Depends how much cash we offer along with Phil. Can't imagine they'd sell him for any amount though, they see him as a future Ballon D'Or winner and I'd be inclined to agree.

Umaro

Eamon Dunphy had a mad rant toward the end of last season about Barcelona entering a serious decline. I didn't agree with him at the time, but with the loss of Neymar I can see it could be happening now.

They looked listless and uninspired tonight. I think that team has taken a hit in confidence and motivation with Neymar's departure. Meanwhile, Real Madrid have a living legend managing them and their young players look the real deal.

Barca will be desperate to try and fix it by landing Dembele or Coutinho. I don't want us to sell Coutinho, but if it does happen we better take them to the cleaners.

We were talking about 137m a few days ago. They can shove 110 up their jacksie.

Probably a little bit... was still the 3rd largest transfer in history at the time though, and he was suspended for the best part of 6 months for biting people... but yeah we could perhaps have gotten a wee bit more.

I mean, obviously if that transfer was happening in todays market it would be totally different, but the football world is already a vastly different place since then in terms of financing, so its a bit of a moot point.

A stopped clock is right twice a day

punk_one82

I suppose one positive from this window is we can see which "ITK's" are talking absolute bollocks. The amount of them who confirmed the VVD/Keita deals weeks ago when we now know neither club would even deal with us.

Jesus Wept

I see our name mentioned with some french lad - Seri. Looked him up , he is 5'6. Is there a height restriction at the club? Don't want lads bumping their head on the famous sign?

You'll note I didn't confirm anything.

Disagree. Neymar is good not a great in the making. Marketable lad though!

I would gladly take 120m pound for Couthinho. Blows hot and cold - good but not a great. However providing we use the cash and sign some rdecent defenders and a top midfielder

Crouch was 6'7" so I reckon Seri will fit in ok at 5'6. He must have a good leap on him

Riesen_Meal

I thought Seri had bad toe circulation or something and couldn't play in colder climates?

Barca throwing unrequited offers everywhere, surely gonna go into the season short of a few lads. Haha.

Suckers.
