Last week of the window, predications anyone?

Coutinho to Liverpool
Saul to Chelsea
Ronaldo to Man United
Mbappe to Madrid

What a window that'd be!

if we can't afford Saul wage how could we afford Coutinho's his on more.

{Ed077's Note - and not even half the player that Saul is IMO}

Not even a quarter the player Saul is, Ed.

{Ed077's Note - probably..

Would rather give that game time to Elliott and Jones than bring in Coutinho. Ideal world would see Bissouma or Saul come in but between the transfer fee of one and the wages of the other, the chances are looking slim.

I don't mind pipco and I guess he would be taking a hefty wage cut to come. I don't think he would be daft enough to think he could command the same wages he is on.

Thing is Irish, whatever he’s paid it would be a waste of a salary and a non home grown place. We’d have to almost entirely change the way we play to accommodate a player who quite honestly isn’t all that. Where do you play him, certainly not midfield, he couldn’t knock the skin off a rice pudding much less press anyone, you couldn’t play him up top as he’s too slow, he definitely isn’t number nine material and we don’t play with a “classic number 10”. He’s been ineffective for the last year at Barca, plus age and injury doesn’t mprove players…signing him would be sentimental nonsense.

Have Liverpool been offered Saul on loan as well as Chelsea eds2?

{Ed002's Note - At this point in time there are just the three clubs interested.}

By "what a window" I don't necessarily mean it as a good thing, I just mean it'd be abit mad!

I understand totally why people don't want Coutinho, he acted disgracefully! but this selective memory that he was anything but a huge danger for us and one of our best players is crazy. On a loan, on terms that suit US, i'd take him.

Jadon, that was over three years ago. He’s past his sell by date now. All we’d be getting is an over the hill injury prone has been on £150000 a week for the privilege. Even then, where does he fit in? He certainly doesn’t fit into our current system and it would be stupid to change something for a player who isn’t even world class.

Younger than Bobby and same age as Sadio, who as much as i love them have both struggled for form for maybe 18 months now. would you say they are over the hill has beens?

If they were playing elsewhere and being offered to us, yes I would say over the hill and avoid, as I would for any player 29 or over and hadn’t been in good form for some time.

There’s no mileage in signing players at 29/ 30 unless they are bonafide world class and still in very good form. In Pipco’s specific case, he’s neither, he’s been rubbish for the last three years, it also doesn’t help that he literally doesn’t fit in anywhere to our current system. Notwithstanding the fact he’s a rat and the only beneficiary of the transaction would be Barcelona.

If we end up wasting money on pipco and Saul Niguez ends up at either United or Chelsea that would be a huge self own.

On loan for a year. he's 29 not 40.

I also think bringing in a central midfielder will limit Jones and elliots playing time more than bringing in Coutinho. Couts plays either central attack mid which we don’t cater for or left side. Jones and Elliot seem to be being readied to take over the box to box roles in the central mid roles going forward. I do wish Klopp would play Elliot on the left and Jones on the right though. Same for Keita playing on the right side. He always looks better I feel playing that side.

Cou is no longer welcome here, IMO. We are 3/ 4 times better than the team he played in so waste of money and wages and most of all, I wouldn’t want his back injury to happen again so yeah BUT a hard NO.

I wouldn’t be against taking him on loan to be honest to see how he performs and make a logical decision from there depending on how he performs. There’s no-one coming through in the attacking positions who he would block and would likely be more effective as a squad player than Origi or Taki if we are looking to offload those players. That said I wouldn’t be against either of those players being given more opportunities if we are not going to offload them.
