Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2017/2018

Poor enough window. Salah will likely be a very good signing, Solanke has potential but don't think he'll make a huge impact this year, Robertson and Ox could go either way.

I Cannot believe we haven't bought a defender. You can call the dissenting voices whingers all you want, but that's sheer incompetence.

MD1990

That is a poor deal.

We really have only 3 CB's. Gomez has played more as a full back. Matip is injury prone. Lovren is an accident waiting to happen.
Klavan is a solid squad option but not a starter.

Think we should have kept Sakho he was superb at Palace & was excellent under Klopp as well.

Sky sports say sahko to palace 26m

CB :P

People can bitch & moan and say the owners are great but a window of Salah, Solanke, Robertson & Ox is pretty underwhelming, especially after last season and champions league this year. Keita is for next year & is not a factor right now.

There is a league there to be won FFS yet here we are p****in around. No central defender bought & Sakho sold. Someone draw up a list of all the players we've 'been in for' since FSG landed? Go on I dare ya

Sakho sold and no replacement.


Hmmmmmmmmm

shamrock55

sakho is gone,surley we have vvd,would be utter madness to let him go and not get in another cb

Ardent

Well played by Palace. Make it look like they were about to sign Mangala and then get Sakho for a keen 26M.

Our owners will buy who our manager wants, where feasible. Is Klopp holding us back?

Oh no, how ever will we replace a lad who didn't make one appearance for us last season?

Nobody cares. We know the problems at the club, it does nothing to post the same whingy comments every few hours.

rob316

so with 26m for Sakho and loan fee of 6m for origi, what's our net spend?

Just because someone isn't constantly crying about the bullshít all day doesn't mean they've got their head buried in the sand.

shamrock55

Istvan kozma is coming out of retirement,sign him up quick

I fail to believe we won't bring in a CB.

Surely it can't be VVD or nobody

But if you don't shout the loudest people won't know

Ins

Salah 39m
Solanke Free
Chamberlain 35m
Robertson 10m

=84m

Outs

Origi 6m
Lucas 5m
Sakho 26m
Stewart 6m
Wisdom 2m

=45m

So we have spent this summer about 39m net.

I hardly ever reference FSG or crying as you call it. This is an under-whelming transfer window. No whinging just a fact. Sorry if its not what you want to hear

Could be. - £100m tomorrow

Can't believe FSG made another profit.

Been an average window. Positives and negatives cancel each other out imo:
Positives: 
Salah for what is cheap in todays market. He's been incredible so far.
Solanke is potential for feck all money
Robertson is cheap bolstering of left back position.
Ox: Paid over the odds for him but I do rate him as a player. He wouldn't be offered 180,000 a week if he wasn't highly rated by Wenger. 
Negatives: Once again Liverpool have gone through another transfer window without addressing the area that most needs fixing. Defence is brutal and will continue to be brutal with Matip and Lovren leading the back line. Shocking that no centre back was brought in given the funds that were available and it's utter horsepoo to say VVD is the only centre back in the world that would be a good fit at Liverpool. Gonna be another season of having to score **** loads of goals to do well because there will be feck all clean sheets.

S. Goodspeed

Chasing players at clubs which dont want to sell and more importantly don't need to sell really seems like a complete waste of time, hard to imagine there isnt a player as good as Lemar out there at a club which isnt as flush with cash as Monaco is right now after selling half their team. Same with Red Bull & Southampton (to a lesser extent).

I still think this is a very really likelihood.

I'm still underwhelmed by the Oxlade thing. And the story about him taking less money at Liverpool is probably BS

Agent Coulson

Solanke will cost £10m+ when the tribunal price comes in.

Dick phelan

For 100m let Arsenal have Lemar personally wasn't mad on breaking our transfer record for a player we don't really need, we need a top class CB if we're going to spend 75-100m spend it in an area we badly need someone.

DrumSteve

FSG in.

Well he was offered 180k per week by arsenal to stay there is no chance we offered close to that.

martyos121

Ah shut up Vinny O'Connor. Tell us we're signing Reus at least, don't care how true it is.

marklazarcovic

Ornstein has said lemar said no to arsenal,so Sanchez is not leaving,so lemar ain't going to them..

So Barca, ourselves have a heap of cash and yet to spend it, something should happen right!! At one of those clubs

shamrock55

We wont be signing anyone before this window shuts and if that is the case it's a very poor window,for a team with Klopp and cl football it's shockingly bad

noodler

Barca apparently tweeted welcome Coutinho tweet?

Then deleted it? Or is the picture doing the rounds fake?

Careful now with this negativity

ballyargus

the lack of a centre back is the only thing that worries me. Overall we have made good buys in Robertson, Solank, AOC and an excellent buy in Salah.

It's a shame to have lost Lucas. Sakho was never going to play for us again. Origi has made a move that suits all 3 parties for now. Wisdom and Stewart were both out of rope at the club.

I think it's a better squad now than it was pre-summer but it's lacking the depth I had hoped we'd acquire for the challenges ahead this season.

Let's not forget we've secured Keita long term

Will certainly be quite annoyed at Klopp for leaving an obvious weak spot unfilled two summers in a row. Last summer LB, this summer CB. In both cases, we probably need 2 rather than one, so even if we just got a good solid mainstay backup option now and waited for his first choice later, that would be fine.

There is simply no way Matip and Lovren will both be fit to play the minimum 44 high-importance fixtures we have this year, not even counting domestic cups. I'd say at least 10 of those games will feature a different centre back pairing - and that pairing will be pretty weak.

NukaCola

The CB situation is fairly shocking.....to leave it as it is makes no sense to me anyway.....Spend 35M on midfielder/attacker/WB, leave a 26M CB go and not strengthen CB is almost ridiculous. Matip/Lovren/Klavan/Gomez as cover at CB will cost us points at some stage.......I trust Klopp but its hard to defend that decision. If it doesn't work out I'll have no sympathy for him.

I guarantee you we will concede more league goals than United, City, Chelsea and Spurs.

I agree that we need a CB now, and I felt the same way about the LB situation last summer, but Klopp did prove people wrong with Milner at LB. Towards the end of the season he definitely ran out of steam (along with the rest of the squad) but Milner at LB worked.

martyos121

Think I have it cracked;

Thirty minutes into the France match this evening, we make our move for Lemar. Bid accepted at the close of half-time, Lemar is informed. Sixty minutes in, a gust of wind whirls above the Stade de France and loud whirring noises. What's that you say? Why it's the Babelcopter of course! Swoops down and lands on the pitch, as Lemar jumps in. Gini hops on as well because his national team are crap now and hey, free lift back to Melwood, flights are costly anyway. They all take off, Lemar signs his contract mid-flight and they eventually land at Melwood, though the slight breeze created by the rotors knocks Sturridge over and rules him out for the season. And so we recall Origi.








The transfer withdrawal is fcuking me up lads.

Milner at LB was definitely a success, but it's still the same situation as now - beyond the first choice option (Milner last season at LB, and Matip/Lovren this year at CB), there's a sudden drop in quality that instantly increases the chances of us dropping points.

I didn't trust Milner at LB last summer, and wanted 2 options in - but would have been content to have Milner and one solid alternative. Same now, i'd rather Lovren be replaced in the starting lineup, but i'd be content with a solid alternative.

Our performances did suffer last year for not being able to rotate Milner, and the same will happen this year, except in an even more vital position.

Just can't see where Klopp is coming from on this. I mean, he obviously sees this too, since he was trying to buy a world class CB. I just don't get why no other CB in the world was considered a viable alternative. Klavan isn't going to improve, he's 31. So the only hope really is that Gomez shows a level of quality and consistency at centre back that he hasn't shown before.

murpho999

I just don’t get how our squad has less players now than last season after everyone said it we needed more depth as we’re in the Champion’s League.

Salah is a great signing as is Keita for next year but the rest are unknown quantities at this stage.
They couldn’t turn out great but could fail too.

Going into next season with Lovren and Moreno as mainstays of our backline is going to cost us. Especially if we have title ambitions.

Pity ox isn't a bit taller cb is about the only position he hasn't played.
