Breaking!

News coming from Anfield that LFC have had a 65M bid for Lemar rejected!
Is this true?

1.) 04 Jan 2018 19:43:13
Pretty sure we will offer 92 mil plus one pound if anything there mate.

Monaco coach
Jardim
“The club will not be selling anyone this window”
As ed 2 has said it would tak an astronomical fee to get them to alter their stance .
I think the best we can hope for as fans is a deal for Lemar to be put into motion for the summer even if phil goes in January .

3.) 04 Jan 2018 20:08:46
I don't think agreeing a move for the summer would work either for monaco.

They have only continued to put the price up window on window with Lemar. After the world cup they will prob demand even more and if France win it which they could this will only add to the fee.

Personally I think the Lemar deal if it comes off will be a bit like the VVD deal. LFC will be forced to pay a little more for the player if it is the one klopp wants.

If it happens I think like Southampton named a price we will ask Monaco what the price is and they will give a take it or leave it.

Can’t see us getting him for £65m. Aside from them not wanting to sell, we have just paid £75m for VVD and they will see Lemar as more valuable, and it won’t have escaped their notice we are about to get a huge fee for Couts. I think £90+m and we might stand a chance of changing their stance (I don’t like talking about money either Ed’s)

Heard that Ryan Kent is returning from loan, is this true and for what reason?

1.) 02 Jan 2018 17:46:08
He doesn't play.

02 Jan 2018 15:41:57
Happy New Year RedMen!

Is there any progress in Can's contract or transfer situation?

1.) 02 Jan 2018 15:58:23
Can's off, basically. Juventus, Dortmund, Man City and Bayern Munich all reportedly interested.

2.) 02 Jan 2018 17:48:20
Why is he not signing a contract with a £30m clause in? We have to try to make him sign one or sell in Jan. We haven't got £30-£40 to waste.

3.) 02 Jan 2018 18:01:45
You can't make a player sign anything and trying to opens up more problems.

4.) 02 Jan 2018 18:10:27
He wanted a release clause and the club refused, so here we are with him going on a free. (I think that’s correct) .

5.) 02 Jan 2018 18:16:15
Sign this or be sold this month. Many players who are coming to the end of their contracts with other clubs have just signed contracts with clauses in. At least one of the Ed's said he would sign with a low release clause in the contract. Some money has got to be better than nothing.

6.) 02 Jan 2018 19:09:39
If we sell him then we’re stuffed as he is literally the only proper centre midfielder we have, given that Henderson is out long term and Lallana, Milner and Wijnaldum doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence. If Can goes we have to buy to replace or it will be a very tough second half of the season.

7.) 02 Jan 2018 20:58:34
Funny how opinions differ, I couldn't care less if he leaves. Seems average a lot of the time. Wouldn't stand out in a stoke team type average. Some good games but otherwise is a waste of a squad place.

8.) 02 Jan 2018 20:59:25
Well, Stoke in years gone by. Maybe not this year.

9.) 02 Jan 2018 22:34:50
I agree Dennis but we have to buy 2 midfielders in the summer so might as well buy one of those now. Get £30m in for Can then we can overspend a little on a replacement. Can is having an average season but I understand the need for a sort of holding midfield. Get rid now and get in Nobby's partner.

10.) 03 Jan 2018 00:41:38
It’s not that simple Mark - selling him or getting him to sign a contract requires his participation and agreement on terms and where he’s going to. Why would he sign a contract that may mess with his desire to move to Juve on a free and a nice sign on bonus in the summer? Besides we will need him in midfield second half of the season for sure unless we can find a suitable replacement which may not be that easy one jan. Rather we wait for the right player.

11.) 03 Jan 2018 01:15:15
How did we miss out Paulinho for 35mil?

Who will replace Phil?

Very hard to find someone with his passing, dribbling, shooting and pace!

Who do you want?

1.) 04 Jan 2018 12:20:39
The shots from distance will be missed, when teams are hard to unlock he would often do it from the middle of nowhere.

2.) 04 Jan 2018 12:45:10
I want a player who wants to play for Liverpool fc, personally I would go for lemar.

3.) 04 Jan 2018 12:43:35
Agree with diggers left peg.
Spot on with your observation mate 👏.

4.) 04 Jan 2018 12:43:57
Think for me it would be Lemar! think he looks like a great package, not sure if he would contribute as many goals but looks creative enough!
Makes me wonder where Lallana will sit as we don't seem to be thinking of him stepping up to take coutinho's spot!

5.) 04 Jan 2018 12:45:41
We're actively trying to sign Lemar. I reckon if it fails we'll move for Brandt or Draxler though. If it was my choice, I'd go for Insigne, but Napoli probably wouldn't sell him anyway and Lemar is quality and very versatile.

I do think we might also sign a midfielder as well as a Coutinho replacement. Henderson is injured (again), Can is lacking motivation, Wijnaldum is playing terribly, Milner isn't getting any younger, and Lallana has only just returned from injury and is also the wrong side of 30. There are plenty of options this January.

Ceballos has had his agent approach us, Rafinha and Andre Gomes have been offered to us by Barcelona, and Meyer/ Goretzka might come cheap if we could fight off the likes of Spurs, Juventus, Bayern and Barcelona. Alternatively, we could try and bring the Keita deal forward as he is pushing for it and RBL fans have turned on him.

Next summer will be busy so anything we can get done now, should be done. We'll need at least 1 keeper (Alisson, Trapp etc), possibly a right back (Vrsaljko, Pereira etc), a centre back (Akanji, De Vrij etc) a midfielder to replace Can (Ceballos, Rafinha etc), possibly a striker (Luan, Malcom etc) and maybe the biggest signing of the summer will be a new wide forward if Mane or Salah were to leave! (Let's hope it doesn't come to that though) .

We're close to competing at the very top and the owners are making that final push. Klopp has to achieve something big next season with the incredible backing he's receiving. Exciting times ahead (touch wood) .

6.) 04 Jan 2018 12:49:29
There is nobody realistically we could get as good as Coutinho.
Should be looking at Isco, Dybala, Greizman etc but we won't. The club cannot risk selling him half way through the season it could cost us so much more than it's worth.

7.) 04 Jan 2018 12:53:00
Dybala - excellent shout mate 👍.

{Ed025's Note - no chance ron..

8.) 04 Jan 2018 13:52:05
Don’t sell PipCo then 👍.

9.) 04 Jan 2018 14:30:47
How about letting the Ox have a crack at the Coutinho role, he could thrive there.

Baz.

10.) 04 Jan 2018 15:01:01
Lemar, Draxlar, Fekir, Taison or Bernard for me.

11.) 04 Jan 2018 15:02:46
Nah. Let the Ox do his own thing.

I like him getting up and down the pitch, pulling wide right to whip crosses in etc.

What even is the Coutinho role? Taking all the set pieces, shooting 5 times a game from open play, and not even turning up every other game? I keep reading he has 12 goals and 9 assists in 20 games. He doesn't. This is no word of a lie, those 12 goals and 9 assists all came in just 10 of his 20 appearances.

The other 10 games, he did nothing. This is both amazing and frustrating. Amazing because it shows that when he wants to turn up, he is literally the best attacker in Europe right now. However, frustrating because half the time he doesn't want to show up! I'm pulling my hair out because i want the Coutinho who scored a hat trick in the Champions league, not the Coutinho who went for a casual stroll around Anfield against West Brom. At the minute, we're playing roulette with him. He either tries and we feel like we have 12 players, or he pretends to play and we literally have 10. We can't afford to keep putting our faith in someone who doesn't commit himself every time he pulls on the shirt.

12.) 04 Jan 2018 16:02:46
Keita will be fine when it comes to shots from distance, he replaces him in that aspect but not all. Lamar will be the one to replace him with the rest.

13.) 04 Jan 2018 16:02:56
I'm not at all keen on Lemar as Coutinho's replacement. Coutinho not only drives at the opposition and breezes past players, but is excellent at penetrating with his passing ability, not to mention his ability to score goals out of nothing as well.

Lemar (from what I have seen) seems to be very one footed and is more of a winger than a midfielder. I don't think Coutinho will be going anywhere until the summer anyway, by which time Keita will be here to step into the vacancy.

Red Rum.

14.) 04 Jan 2018 16:11:40
I'd still like to see us go for Kovavic for CM MK.
Coutinho replacement. I really like Lemar, Insigne also (although very unlikely) . I could see Draxler doing well under Klopp if he shakes the attitude and laziness. his work rate may not suit Klopp unless he picks it up.
