I reckon we could go back in for Fekir or another attacking minded player in January which could help us out a lot especially if we are still challenging for major honors.

Putting in the ground work nice and early.

Fair play to Everton they've done some good late deals but can they finish above Liverpool that's the question.

I'd rather see him loaned out, could be another Danny Ward move keeping him.

Grujic is down to his last 12 months. He was lined up to go to Cardiff on loan again this season but it was put on hold until he signed an extension.

Klopp believes new signing Alisson is in good hands with Achterberg

Jurgen Klopp insists new Liverpool No 1 Alisson Becker is in safe hands with “goalkeeper maniac” John Achterberg.

The Brazilian shot-stopper is preparing to make his debut for the Reds in Sunday's Premier League opener against West Ham at Anfield.

Achterberg is tasked with getting the best out of the £65million signing and Klopp has reaffirmed his faith in the club's long-serving goalkeeping coach.

The former Tranmere keeper has faced criticism from a section of supporters in recent years when the form of Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius has come under the spotlight.

But Klopp believes Liverpool are fortunate to have Achterberg and he remains a highly valued member of his backroom staff ahead of the 2018/19 campaign.


“First of all, John is a goalkeeper maniac. He's working constantly,” Klopp told the ECHO.

“It's so easy. All the people in the pubs think they know and understand football 100%.

“But if you asked them: 'What does a goalkeeper do?' They couldn't say more than 'catch balls'. They have no clue about goalkeeper techniques and all that stuff.

“John is the first in the building and the last to leave. No matter how early I get into Melwood, I get up the stairs and he's already there - sat there with the laptop open watching goalkeepers from the other end of the world.

“He's constantly in there developing, changing training programmes, working with the boys. For me, he's a fantastic goalkeeper coach.

“There's not any reason for criticism. He's also a fantastic lad.”

Oh God. He'll be spreading fear and panic by October!

Has Ings gone through?

Just reading loan to buy deals are not subject to today's deadline.

Fabby has muscle strain according to Dom King, unlikely to play Sunday.

BorneTobyWilde

The 60m we were suppose to make today did not happen I take it.

mayordenis

Can still sell players until the end of August.

SuperTortoise

Surely the deadline today is just a PR thing? Can't clubs just do a type of loan to buy deal instead? Like Mbappe.

No loans into the PL but PL teams can loan out to lower leagues and loan/sell to everywhere else where their window is open.

Yep, need to keep one of Origi or Solanke.

Ings joins Southampton on loan for a year then £18m plus £2m in add-ons

I'd be more inclined to give Solanke the shout, I think there is more raw talent there to be nurtured as opposed to what we have seen lately with so called "proven" Origi.....

Agent Coulson

£32m for Ings and Ward that's great business.


Origi, Lazer & Mignolet might still leave before the end of the month as well.

Fair play Edwards got more or less what he wanted. And it'll add goodness in the Net Spend tally for Summer 2019!

I wonder if southampton get relegated is there a clause that the deal is off,i wouldnt be surprised if they get relegated

Very weird deal.

Southampton obviously don't want the Ings deal on their accounts for 2018 for whatever reason.

Slight bonus for us too in that he can't play against us this season.

Would imagine it was a case of not getting it done on time, they applied for a extension to get the loan deal over and sealed the sale for next year at the same time.

Just seeing Ings is a Southampton fan and was released by them as a kid.


Nice way to return to your childhood team.

Did Klopp follow in the proud tradition of Pool managers getting their teeth done?

Looks to have gotten the Firmino treatment. (except not as obvious or fake looking)

Not sure anyone has said Origi is proven at anything other than being a decent backup. Origi is only 2 and a half years older than Solanke also. At the same age as Solanke is currently, Origi was scoring in the Europa league against Dortmund and scoring in the EPL when called on.

Solanke currently is miles off where Origi was at the same age, and he is still not as effective as Origi is now IMO. Lets hope the "raw talent" actually shows something of substance over this campaign as opposed to some of the run outs last season.

Don't mention net spend. People seem to get very upset by it :pac:

Just wait till Migs and Origi get signed by Serie A clubs on similar terms

(without the actual buying obviously!

Class from Klopp.

https://twitter.com/LFC/status/1027640926779461632?s=19

“He is such an outstanding boy. Honestly, if you could bottle character and spirit, his would sell worldwide - he is so incredibly positive and full of energy. But we won’t just miss his character because he is a footballer who has all the tools.

“What is clear is that in his time here he had zero luck really, certainly in my time. Before joining I tried to watch as many games on tape as I could from the season so far and Danny Ings stood out as someone I was really looking forward to coaching.

“We all know his story and the bad luck he has had since then.

“It’s why the other emotion is that of being pleased for Danny that he has such a good move and his future is now very bright.

“When he said to us he thinks this is the window it might be best to look elsewhere, for the sake of his career and playing more regular football, it was clear early on that Southampton has great appeal to him personally. It’s his home, his family is there, it’s his boyhood club. They have a great manager and I think the supporters and him will feed off each other’s passion and energy.

“So we say farewell to a friend, but for Danny I know the best chapters in his personal story are still to be written. He is as fit now as at any point of his career I would bet and he just requires the opportunity.

“He has that opportunity and on behalf of his Liverpool family we say good luck Danny and we will miss you.”

AC Milan probably come in with a 1 year offer while we pay all his wages & he goes on a free next summer.

Should have chanced our arm with a reciprocal loan deal for James Ward-Prowse. His versatility would add the extra bit of cover for midfield.

Ings is our man on the outside. When he faces our closest rivals you just know Milner and Co will be egging him on. He can take some points from teams around us, I just know it.

Just read this on the LFC site:

It's only the opinion of 20 people, but they all have us either second or (a couple of times) first. I'm actually feeling the pressure of expectation on this season, can't remember the last time we were expected to do well!

Fun filled day

Bilbao only play players with a connection to there?! That's bizarre. Kind of cool too, in a weird kind of way.

Yeah, I thought it might've just been Liverpool fans who have reasonably high expectations this year - but pretty much everyone there, sampled across all PL clubs, expects Liverpool to challenge for the title.

For my sins, I'll go with;
1. City 2. Liverpool 3. Chelsea 4. Utd
