Just for banter

Who do people think will be the CB priority in January?

Upamecano.

White.

Carlos.

Unless we are absolutely desperate I don't think we would get one.

January is generally tough for purchases, every man and his dog will know we want one and we will get charged a premium and with no fans returning in site C. V will hit us hard.

I think the aim will be to get by with what we have to the end of the season and asses but another long term injury to either gomez or matip will likely force our hand.

Upamecano. I can’t see Klopp just writing off the season because VVD is injured, I think he’ll sign a world class defender and try and maybe win something, but it’ll be twice as hard now. I’ll give it to mid November and we’ll have Henderson and Fabinho in defence.

{Ed002's Note - I would not hold your breath.}

Hmmm, tough one. Don't give up reds fans. Man City don't look as ruthless this season. I still think we're favourites for the league. And I think klopp will sign a cb. Ed02, you told us not to expect much this summer and we signed 3 great players, spending 75/ 80mil. Football is unsustainable and remains so despite the cv crisis. Teams will still spend, especially if they have ambition.

I think gomez and matip can do the business. Can they stay fit? Probably not. I think klopp will sign a cb. I'm surprised he hasn't looked to the championship. Waiting til January is risky.

I think we'll see more heavy metal football.

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool did not spend that amount - they simply aquired further significant debt.}

Seems like Matip is injured again Ed002 as unless there's January addition of some sort it's one of the youngsters filling in.

{Ed002's Note - Is Matip out for the season now? Have the club said VVD is out for the season yet? Clubs need to deal with injuries - they have a squad to do so.}

Yeah I know ed02, tbh I'm not that bothered by the debt. That's not my job. I've got my own responsibilities. I just want to switch on the tele on Saturday and see the reds win. If we have another 30mil of debt? It's not fair, it's not right but there are worse things going on than clubs building debt.

{Ed002's Note - It is rather more than that.}

If we get a CB in Jan, it's more likely to be someone like Ndicka or Ajer (more cost effective) .

Matip only had a scan. There is nothing in the media about it, even.

$400 million of debt is only a peanuts worth.
Go for Koulibaly in January. It's only money.
