Hi all, i'm the liverpool fan who was photographed back in january against arsenal holding a poster of me and klopp ( drawn poster ) , its the first time ever for me to write a post here although i've been on this website for 8 years :)
Anyway, i know basel shock was very strong to us and disappointing but remember, we have a great manager and we'll looking only for players who want to wear the LFC kit, not just play champions league or europe. We'll come back stronger than ever
For the transfers ins and outs :
outs :
Bogdan
Wisdom
Enrique (already left for free)
Ilori
Skrtel (probably to turkey/ china/ usa)
Toure ( yeah unfortunately leaving )
Lucas ( if a good offer comes )
Allen ( midtable team or maybe he'd like to rejoin brendan )
Alberto
Teixeira
Canos ( maybe if he asks for a too much raise )
Markovic ( likely to leave unfortunately )
Ibe ( maybe on loan )
Balotelli
Benteke ( if a good offer comes in, maybe westham )
Sinclair ( we'll take a compensation )
Ins :
Grujic, Matip ( already done )
Gk : Karius
Lb : ben chilwell ( although leicester are asking for 7 million pounds )
Cb : we're genuinely interested in Jonathan Tah and he's available for 17 million, has bags of potential
Cm : Zielinski ( our first target, if we can't agree a fee then we'll go to Dahoud )
AM : Gotze ( our first target but he wants CL, so maybe we'll move on, Pastore has been scouted as an alternative )
after missing out on Dembele we're after Yarmolenko although not the priority right now
Maybe we can go for another attacker and/ or midfielder, depending on who we sell
Regards,
Islam.

Pastore is an awful player, no pace and can't hack it in a weak French league playing for the flat track bullies. As for Yarmelenko, I'd rather we kept markovic.

Yarmolenko is in a different league to Markovic lol. He regularly scores 10+ goals a season from out wide in a stronger league than Turkey, which Markovic managed 1 goal in.
Fascination with Markovic is astonishing. Ojo, Ibe, Kent and Canos are all better players and younger.
Yarmolenko would be a good signing. A wide player who scores goals for fun is what we need.

Agree. Keep Markovic over Yarmelenko. Pastore is Past it for this league.
Like the look of Dahoud over Zielinski.
Apart from Chilwell, why aren't these players linked with other clubs, especially those seen as our direct rivals?

Yarmelenko is a very poor player. One paced and only looks OK in a weak league. Plus he plays for a Ukrainian team and I can't think of one Ukrainian who has done well over here and secondly the owners of these clubs are notoriously difficult to negotiate with. Markovic is quicker, more skilful and has shown in flashes that he could make it in the premier league, just that Rodgers messed him around.

Yarmolenko has scored goals against top teams in the Champions league and Europa league, as well as against some top international teams for Ukraine.
You can't think of a Ukraine player who has done well? Probably because there has only been about 2 notable ones in Shevchenko and Voronin. Besides, what does where he grew up have to do with his ability has a footballer? Voronin and Shevchenko were weak players. Yarmolenko is built for the English game.
And again with the argument about pace! Only English people seem to prize pace above all other characteristics. Hence why Townsend, Lennon, Young, Walcott and Welbeck have all played for England. Suarez wasn't fast either but he had supreme technical ability and aggression to fight off defenders who were faster than him.
I am not saying Yarmolenko would be my choice; he wouldn't. But it is absolutely laughable to say Markovic is a better player. He is awful and we made a mistake signing him. Chelsea didn't want him for less than half of what we paid because they could see he was an over hyped and ultimately bang average kid.

Yarmalenko has delusions of being bang average. Sorry but if you haven't got pace, at least be skilful, which Yarnalenko isn't or have superb delivery which he doesn't. He's not scored loads of goals against top opposition or even looked good when tested against better opponents, he's always looked lumpen, slow and a lack of intelligence on the ball. The comparison with Suarez is ridiculous as Suarez isn't a winger and Suarez was quick out of the block and had quick feet. Again, things that Yarmalenko doesn't have. He's a bang average third rate player in a weak league.

But Allen's already playing for a mid-table team.
