I can honestly say the whole LFC transfer saga is embarrassing. It seems like every transfer window we get into a tug of war over the seemingly worlds best talents because we don't want to pay the asking price. There's offering below the asking price and there's taking the p**s! And we constantly do the latter, trying our best to buy well below the price stated by clubs. I'm all for negotiation, but we'll end up with the worst reputation across Europe at this rate. I love a good deal, but evidence shows. You buy cheap you buy twice. One good player at a time for me. If we've highlighted a player we want, then get him or no one else. If we continually go in at what WE think the players worth we'll end up with a very mediocre side. I really don't know if the market of buying bargain players exists any more. Wenger doesn't even do it as much these days. He splashes the cash where it's needed. I'm not saying Teixeira is worth the asking price, but if he's what we want and need, why oh why do we play games. It gets to the point that we all end up desperate to sign the player and he may my even be any good. Our transfer policy has just not moved with the times for me. Everyone else seems to have a less drawn out negotiation process, perhaps because they don't go in 35% below asking price and start a little somewhere more realistic. Sorry to moan guys, I just can't stand seeing Willian, Sanches and more adding quality to competitor sides for the sake of an extra £5mill here and there. It's not like there's and endless amount of top quality players any more. Rant over! We'll probably sign him now 😂😂😂.

I don't really know how anyone could complain that we don't splash the cash. If we don't value the player at that price, which I think is way too high, then why pay it for the sake of it? that's not how business works.

28 Jan 2016 20:41:18
Difference between trying to save money and only wanting to pay what you think he is worth. If klopp And the club value him at less than 38 million, why would we pay it?

28 Jan 2016 20:55:53
Carlfisher01,I totally agree mate. we like the player, we know how much they want. bid a few mill less, if they say no, then offer what they want. in today's prices personally I think he's worth the money.

28 Jan 2016 20:57:05
It would be more embarrassing if we get saddled with a £38m flop.

28 Jan 2016 21:00:27
I think you miss understood. It's not about splashing the cash, it's about identifying players then low balling the selling club. I don't want us to spend needlessly, I'd just rather not buy the next player down the line, save the money and maybe let the youth player develop. One good player at a time means we will need to utilise the younger squad players. We seem to just miss out on the top player and buy the next best thing. Balotelli being a perfect example. I think we agree, I'd also rather not waste money. Perhaps Klopp will be less wasteful and decide to stick with what he's got. The next actions this window will show us what Klopps all about I suppose. For example, no to Tex and promote Canos or our very own Teixeira. Let's see.

28 Jan 2016 21:11:25
The difference is Alex tex is 100% suited to our game, he has lighting pace and a great goal record from playing as a AM not a striker.
There was loads of us on here before we signed benteke saying he's just not going to suit our style and why are we waisting 32.5m when we all new ings would suit us better and he was free.
The frustration now is we can all see that Alex tex would be really great In a klopp team, suit us perfectly but we're not willing to pay up, but we paid up for benteke which is a joke to be honest.
Klopp is suffering from Rodgers' mistakes.

28 Jan 2016 21:19:58
Great goal record maybe, but in a lesser league. Quite a few pens in there too! Not slating him but he won't come in this window and he's not the saviour.

28 Jan 2016 21:28:15
Coutinho

Klopp was bought to correct Rodgers Mistake.
I agree with your point on Tex. He is a fantastic player. Incredible pace, trickery and natural goal scorers unlike others who want runners ahead of them or space.
This bloke score goals something we are way short of it.

28 Jan 2016 22:03:27
Sorry to say this but if Liverpool was selling the player I would what the most u can get for him . So why are we always trying to get players on the cheap .

28 Jan 2016 23:33:54
I don't understand your arguments about pay what they want? At the end of the day we're a club who has fallen from grace to a certain extent and with a good few years without a lot of champions league football, success in other competitions and a loss on a lot of players we have spent big on, where do you expect us to pull the money out from?

The club has to budget to help klopp achieve success, maybe spending more than what we want to spend on tex has a knock on effect where we cannot spend that extra 10-15 million on a world class player klopp has identified in the summer? Also as good as tex looks is he going to be that guaranteed success for that money? Coming from the Ukraine and no international experience it's a gamble for the price quoted. Look at the money we spent on firmino and he hasn't been the amazing player we hoped, although with a few more years I think he can be.

As fans we want the best and I know I get annoyed when we miss out on targets I think would be great for us but I'm also sick of stacking our squad with overpriced players like benteke, lallana, Allen etc and losing money when we try to sell. I would personally prefer us to save the 50 million quoted and go back in the summer looking for a reasonable price or my preference use that money to get a player who would guarantee success, or as close to as is possible, like a reus, koke, gotze, hummells etc.

I would imagine 99% of Liverpool fans had never heard of Alex teixeira before this January transfer window (I mean who really follows the Ukrainian league? ), and yet 99% of fans now believe he is the only answer.

Football fans are just terribly fickle.

{Ed002's Note - Surely they must of heard of Tex?}

Another post saying, "oh, just pay the money and get the player and bla, bla, bla". You mean like we did for Benteke, Carroll, Downing, Marko, Lallana and many others under BR? Easy to say that when it's not your money and you're not the one to personally suffer if we go into really deep debt. I agree that we seem to go for players we either can't afford or doesn't wanna come here (see Salah, MK, Costa, Kono, Kovacic) instead of focusing on players we can actually get who fit the way we play like Couts and Studge were. As good as Tex may be, no one really knows if he'll do the job because at that price, he will need to deliver immediately. Just look how long it took Firmino to get going and he's still no there yet. I'd rather we keep our money because to me, he ain't worth that money and I do not support us willing to overpay for an uncapped, unproven 26 yr old in a poor league just so some fans can get their way. As Ron said, he could be a flop and what do we do the, Bigsqueeze? We already have a couple on our hands and another one in waiting. I say, keep our money and allow Klopp to try and fix BR's pathetic mistakes and the mess he has left Klopp with.

Ed002. Your sarcasm is absolutely world-class.
