Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2018

Harry Palmr

Oh will you stop. You know perfectly well what the circumstances are, what the budget context is and what Klopp is like waiting for the right players. So quit your jibber-jabber.

Even when we had Coutinho another striker/attacking player could have been added. It wasn't a priority but wouldn't have been disappointed to have another.

For the 3 attacking options we need to have 4/5 guys pushing each other for those spots. If one gets annoyed that he's not getting game time he either proves he deserves the spot or you move him on and replace him with another who you think can push/improve upon what you have.

Standing still leads to going backwards in sports and in this case we've gone backwards losing Coutinho. Need to try make a forward move.

Backup just not good enough for a team with our aspirations entering the buisness end of the season. An injury to one of salah, mane or firmino and we will struggle for top 4.

I don't believe they did but if this was the case, then that's some good business.

Mane missed a large amount of the second half of the season last year and we still made top 4. We had Coutinho then but we didn't have Salah or van Dijk. We're not a one man team.

It came down to the final day though if I'm remembering correctly. Just because it happened last year doesn't mean we shouldn't be doing all we can to guarantee it this year/give it our best shot.

I'm not too pushed about the league to be honest, winners qualify automatically anyway.

The whole point is that the loan club already has a good idea of the player they are bringing in and is therefore willing to agree to the terms. If they didn't think he could offer something then they'd say no thanks. While for Liverpool if a club doesn't guarantee the game minutes for a player who has a decent level of experience under his belt there's just no point in the loan.

Aye I don't doubt that, the player still has to show the right attitude towards the opportunity however. I guess though that is indicative by the fact he's willing to go out on loan in the first place.

The position we're in makes it difficult to bring in anyone for a sane fee. I expect we'll pick someone up in the summer probably likely to be a younger player like Malcom rather than Lemar who is worth far less than 90 million tbh.

Lack of good hair (or any hair) in that team was what let them down.

Kyriakos has more hair than the rest of the team put together

If any, ANY premier league first XI looked that bad in 2018 we'd all be pointing and laughing at them.

Would be nice to get a new player in considering we've sold Coutinho but it looks unlikely.

Not mad about this insistence that a loanee starts. Should have to earn it as like the rest of the team has to.

Anything that compels that dinosaur Warnock to do something at our fucking bidding is good with me.

HandsomeBob

Was going to ask who was manager.....and then I saw Konchesky.

EDIT the unfortunate thing is that a lot of those players were Rafa's. Still makes me sad to think how things ended for him.

Yup I agree.

And I don't believe that we need to sell Sturridge to free up wages for a new player. We are just after getting over a 100 million in cash up front from the Countinho sale.

I don't think the up front cash is anything like that much. It's guaranteed 100m, but not up front. I believe its spread over 4 or 5 years, along with the accrued add ons as they become active. Doubt there's much more than 30m up front.

I'm nearly sure I read or heard somewhere that he has to leave China and is available for a cut-price fee. i just can't remember where I heard that. i was excited when we were linked to him before but it just depends on if he has regressed in China.

I know it's not a great league, but at least he was scoring goals there anyway. 1 in 2 record there for the past season. At the right price, could be a great acquisition, especially as it wouldn't be necessary for him to come straight into the starting lineup. Could be given time to get up to speed.

Really? I thought it was 100 million or so up front and the rest was add ons related to appearances and such. Any links to the upfront cash spread out over 4or 5 years? Genuinely interested as that makes it an even worse deal than I initially thought.

Yawns

From what I read of it, it was 100 mil or so upfront and the rest will be paid over time incl addons as they become active.

noodler

Aye, always assumed phased payments were the norm.

Although Barca did have the cash in theory.

Yawns

Phased payments are the norm but if barca wanted him LFC were demanding 100 mil of the payment upfront. I take that to mean we now have 100 mil from them already and the rest will be phased.

shamrock55

I think we are ok for attacking players,what we really need for now is a keeper, a cb to partner vd, and a midfield/ cdm player

You know "thinking" something isn't evidence it actually is the case right? You can't have "further evidence" if you don't have some other initial evidence to build your hypothesis on!!

Hybrid of Roy's vision and the rag order the squad was in when Rafa left (Not that I blame him). Easy to forget Jovanovic was actually a Rafa signing on a free....just never played for him.

Rafa would have got more out of Jovanovic :pac:

All I'll remember Jovanovic for in 37 seconds

ricero

If sturridge is to leave and we are being frugile again in the transfer market then i would consider calling back origi. Ings and solanke are not good enough imo. I will given solanke the benefit of being young and think a loan move would be best for him.

Really feel an injury to one of mane, salah or firmino could completly derail our season.

Grayditch

Someone post that Jovanovic/Neighbours video, I'm on my phone.

Origi doesn't seem to be up to much at Wolfsburg. Not a starter and his record has been poor.

I'd be willing to let Origi and Sturridge exit if the exchange was a serious striker coming in with Solanke and Woodburn fighting as understudys.

I'd let Ings go on loan and see how he fares. Wouldn't throw the towel in on him yet.

Oh ffs. Won't they all **** off and buy players elsewhere. Try double that fee. I know it's rumours but that could be how it starts
