Hi Eds
Quick question,
Would it be possible for VVD to buy his contract out?
i. e, If he was on 50k per week over 5 years.
That would be about 13million.
He gives Southampton the 13 million and then come to us?
Possible or completely illegal?
Cheers.

AL1972

{Ed002's Note - No and even if there were a buy out clause it has nothing to do with future wages. Even if Southampton were to let him to buy his contract out, it would be for the amount that they would expect to get for a transfer - and obviously he would not have the money to pay that.}

It's unforgivable that we have not bought a centre back in this window. We were arguably a CB away from being contenders, now we are an injury away from disaster.
Talk of £200m war chest. Yet again FSG will keep the wallet closed. How are we to take the next step and push on for trophies when they don't sign what's needed.
Am absolutely livid.
It'll be the same again this season, mistakes at the back dropping stupid points.

FSG don't pick players mate! Klopp wanted only VVD!


2.) 31 Aug 2017 21:20:01
I think they allocated the funds
Not their fault our top target 🎯 was approached in completely the wrong way.

Please support Everton.


4.) 31 Aug 2017 21:25:12
Stubborn manager kloppo. Underwhelming window to be honest.
Top 4 still possible nothing more though.
We need to keep phil now because we can't afford to sell him. No replacement until next summer.


5.) 31 Aug 2017 21:25:36
Probably the most frustrating time to be a Liverpool fan. We are so good going forward, goals all over the pitch, just missing that one leader at the back, at least we didn't waste money on Lemar. Pleased with ox tho! Think he will fit in well with klopps guidance.


6.) 31 Aug 2017 21:25:39
Name a CB that's available and improves us?


7.) 31 Aug 2017 21:26:08
My goodness this fsg talk is embarrassing. Seen it all over twitter. Klopp wanted van dijk. Klopp was in the wrong. We had to apologise to Southampton. Southampton clearly don't and never wanted to sell the player since that embarrassing incident.
The club backed klopp. Instead of wasting our time on van dijk we should have lined up alternatives weeks ago!


8.) 31 Aug 2017 21:26:15
And some supporters are joke shop to with the team. By the way, is this your dummy?


9.) 31 Aug 2017 21:26:24
Always makes me laugh that people think this is an FSG problem, "FSG keep the wallet closed", if Klopp and the rest of the LIVERPOOL hierarchy (not FSG) had not ****ed around with regards to VVD so much we might well have our man.

However, that's the way it is and we'll have to deal with it now.


10.) 31 Aug 2017 21:26:34
AL, how on earth is this FSGs fault? You really need to assess what's happened this window. FSG were willing to buy VVD, they were willing to buy Keita (which they did, not sure whether payment is this year or next) The reason we haven't got our targets this year is because internally we have messed it up. Every player Klopp wanted, FSG were willing to buy and you can see that if you look back on the window. We can't blame FSG for not finding a replacement for VVD as that's the job of Klopp and co. FSG don't pick and choose what player we buy. I'm just as dissapointed in not signing a CB as anyone but if us fans are going to pass blame we need to direct at the right people, not just try and find a scapegoat.

{Ed025's Note - i agree TIA..


11.) 31 Aug 2017 21:29:59
You mean youd rather us just throw money away on someone who is not right for the team? Carroll, Benteke, the list is endless.
We have messed up not getting a CD but you can't blame that on FSG, we know they have fronted the money for this, it's just unfortunate the right players were not available.
We should of had backups though all along.


12.) 31 Aug 2017 21:30:52
FSG were quite happy to open the wallet for van Dijk. But it's not their fault that we illegally approached him and as a result couldn't bid on him, is it? And it's not their fault that we didn't seriously seek out an alternative to van Dijk.

Be livid at the right people please.

#jokepost #numpty.


13.) 31 Aug 2017 21:33:13
FSG are not to blame at all.


14.) 31 Aug 2017 21:35:57
FSG have backed Klopp on every target. Is it their fault Klopp tapped up VVD. If he hadn't he'd be our player ages ago and also some clubs don't want to deal. Monaco lost a lot of good players this window.
We've secured some good signings. our fullbacks have blossomed. It's only the CB's there's a problem and some coaching will sort that out. People need to chill out.


15.) 31 Aug 2017 21:37:53
AL, in what way are FSG keeping the wallet closed?
For me £92million for Lemar is a huge risk on someone who has only broken through in the last 12 months - nearly double what we will pay for our record signing Keita. Yes, in 12 more months it might prove a bargain, but I understand why we wouldn't go back in at that level.
No one can accuse of FSG keeping the wallet closed. If we had been more professional in our actions we would have a £50 odd million defender also on our books.
Not FSGs fault.


16.) 31 Aug 2017 21:43:48
Yes big Al we should have looked at other CB's.
It just seems that this was a great opportunity to make a significant signing in an obvious area that needed strengthening. With midweek European games as well this Swanson I think we have missed a big chance here.
IMO The scum will be the team to catch this year and I think this was a huge window for us.


17.) 31 Aug 2017 21:38:53
Joe Gomez 🏆🏆.


18.) 31 Aug 2017 21:40:10
Stop embarrassing yourselves with your knee jerk reactions just cos you did not get the player you wanted. You sound like spoiled, petulant children who are throwing toys out of the pram cos you did not get the chocolate bar you wanted. Our team is already better than last season, CB or not. Our FB's are sorted and our attack is even better and if Cou can get his head sorted and come back stronger, we are even better. So we did not get a CB, So what? Is that FSG's fault? If you don't know how a club runs, just ask and you will be told that owners don't pick players to sign so stop talking crap, AL1972.


19.) 31 Aug 2017 21:41:57
Statto. I don't agree with the OP but are you saying that there are not better CB's available better than Klavan and Lovren? I really doubt that.


20.) 31 Aug 2017 21:42:00
Well said Big Al.


21.) 31 Aug 2017 21:51:43
Yep disgusting that FSG and Klopp didn't identify some second rate championship level CB whose club would be happy to sell, and buy them, so they could keep people on here happy with a panic buy. Judging by some people they should be overjoyed by the situation cos they're clearly not happy unless they've got something to moan about.


22.) 31 Aug 2017 21:52:43
You're grown men acting like children we're in a great position the teams playing fantastic we've improved the squad we look to be in a good hands with klopp and FSG let's be honest it's not many (if any) have done better business than us. Go support someone else because as much as I'd love Lemar and VVD but might not get them so ah well life goes on Liverpool march on and klopp takes us forward.


23.) 31 Aug 2017 21:57:34
If Macca thought that VVD would go through, why did we not even put a bid in today?


24.) 31 Aug 2017 22:09:52
@BingoRed I'm not talking crap, just saying I'm disappointed that we have not strengthened in an obvious weak area. If Macca thought a deal could also have been done for VVD a few days ago, why was a bid not placed?
I think especially with European football we don't have the strength or depth at CB to push on and challenge. I believe with Klopp at the helm and the way he can attract top players we should have really pushed on in this window to push for a CB and I don't believe we have. Like you I just want what's best for LFC. I don't believe starting the season and hoping to end up in the top 4 is not acceptable That's my opinion.


25.) 31 Aug 2017 23:43:11
Statto
Davinson Sanchez would have been an improvement on Lovren
We didn't go for him
He went to Spurs whose central defenders make ours look like Sunday league players.


26.) 01 Sep 2017 21:31:01
Supermane, we cannot buy every player on the planet as we are not interested in every player on the planet.

Whatever happens today thanks Ed's and Macca yet again for your expertise. Really appreciate it. Kids are back in school today. I have a day off. So it's sky sports news and check this page out every 10 seconds. Fingers x for VVD.
Enjoy the drama fellow reds!

Sparky
Sparky @WonderDogSparky
We find Sparky staring forlonly out of the window wondering what time Nobby will arrive.

Kind of coded ed if you are not in twitter.

It sais he was waiting for arrival but the rent sign will go back up.

Sounds like what we already thought that NK ain't coming?

Having seen Chelsea table a 30m bid, I'm sure we will go in with about 25m and be surprised when it doesn't happen. I don't think AOC will improve our starting 11.
