Just heard FSG have accepted a £50 million + Iniesta for Coutinho.

FSG OUT!

YNWA!

Why you being so whet over it? The lad doesn't want to be at the club. He then feined an injury for over a month to force his way out the club.

We have more than coped without him for the past few games. If we get Iniesta then that would be a steal considering thw calibre of player we would get. Aging or not, he's the quality we need.

Could be great for improving his mentality even more. No small thing to go to a different country to ply your trade. Hopefully we'll keep in contact with him and offer support where possible.

31 Aug 2017 21:28:01
Disappointed about that. With Origi going. We are very short on the wings now! Unless Klopp plans on signing one soon?

Agree3 Disagree18

31 Aug 2017 21:46:54
LFC Leon, we have Salah, mane, lalana, o lady (best auto-correct yet! ) -chamberlain, coutinho (for now) and firmino if really needed but he's better centrally. I think that should get us through.

Agree7 Disagree5

31 Aug 2017 21:57:41
I would thought kent qould of been used in cup games and maybe back up to mane.

Agree4 Disagree6

31 Aug 2017 22:04:17
Lallana and Firmino are ineffective out wide. Coutinho likely to play centrally if he stays, I guess we should be okay. Would have liked to see Kent stay if I'm honest and play cup games and get a handful on PL games.

Agree2 Disagree8

31 Aug 2017 22:28:17
I think and hope the plan is Kent gets bucket loads of games and proves (or not) that he is viable. That is unlikely to be the chance he gets this season so hope it works for both him and club. Ditto Origi.

Agree4 Disagree2

31 Aug 2017 22:43:03
I guess if we have a cup game midweek we would play sturridge and solanke up top, then four in the middle - Ox gini grujic - still leaves us one short if we're resting he front three coutinho can and hendo!

Agree1 Disagree2

31 Aug 2017 22:43:06
Yeah surprised no local option for him but as mentioned maybe a bit of international experience will help him too, good luck to the lad.

I wonder Hows the back injury now Phil?
Poor Sakho got sent to the U23s for far less unprofessional conduct,

I hope Klopp tears him off a new Brazillian.

Agree6 Disagree3

01 Sep 2017 08:17:54
I don't think the choice of country sounds like it was because nothing local, there is a lot to be gained by time abriad and presumably Klopp has contacts who can keeo an eye there. I assume can't be cup tied with them either.

31 Aug 2017 21:00:34
We should let Couts go and grant his wish.

Not like we are doing charity as we are getting 140 odd.

set an example to other clubs that we let players go if we get right fee.

He will be not happy here and this is a free world.

{Ed025's Note - come on sami..tell him to piss off and call him a traitor for me, i hate all this "lets make his wish come true" baloney..

31 Aug 2017 21:10:39
Kopp a load. No that is not what it would mean. I struggle to see why everyone has to make these links between transfers that have no connection at all. OX was a target all summer. We got him. We didn't want to sell coutinho. He may have forced us to. We wanted vvd. Klopp may have messed it up, maybe Southampton would take have refused to sell no matter what.

Agree3 Disagree3

31 Aug 2017 21:36:32
The Coutinho nonsense rumours here are ridiculous. He won't be sold. Not because we didn't get Lemar, but because the club made their mind up several months ago when he signed the extension.

Why is everyone - including Eds - so sure about something that is so obviously not true?

Agree6 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 21:34:59
Ed25 is just desperate for us to sell Cou so he doesn't have to make Gana look useless with all his step-overs and terrorize the bitters with goals and assists, like he has done in the past. Don't worry Ed, if he stays then he will be here to terrorize your lot again this season.

As for Cou, Lemar is now a no go so we keep him and Barcelona can take a hike. We will not sell without a replacement and Ox was never his replacement as we were never selling. Lemar became a replacement when Klopp changed his mind and wanted rid of Cou.

Agree2 Disagree2

{Ed025's Note - thats not bitterness bingo i say it like it is, i said exactly the same about lukaku so dont be looking for some agenda..

31 Aug 2017 21:38:32

Ed 25 you rock.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Sep 2017 00:50:50
I don't mind Coutinho wanting to move he has a paid playing career of at most 15 years and he wants to make as much money as possible. I don't really car that he is acting butt hurt about the deal and acting prissy. He wants more money and the Latin prestige of playing for Barcelona, in I get it whatever. I also know he happily signed that big money contract in January with no buy out clause (poss poor advice from his agent) . He is under contract and when he realizes he won't play unless he gets over his attitude I am sure he will have some kumbaya moment with Kloop and everyone will be best buds until next summer. Sir Alex handled Ronaldo's universe sized ego for a year until he let him leave for Real I am sure Kloop can do the same.

That being said I am still feeling prissy myself about VVD and Lemar with Lemar being the clubs new Ferrari. Pfbst.

Agree1 Disagree1

01 Sep 2017 01:02:49
Carlsb3rg because coutinho has tried to force a move and our stance of not selling changed with klopp getting fed up with a player who clearly does not want to be here. If lemar or another came in we definitely would have taken the ridiculous money Barcelona are offering. We still might depending on just how bad the situation is and how messed up klopp and phils relationship is. I still expect coutinho to be professionally if he is to be kept and will soon get back to just playing ball.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Sep 2017 08:22:02
Still could go and I'd fully expect that to happen.

Not good business selling the best cb youve got, not getting a replacement and then going into the season with only 3 senior cbs which include lovern and klavan.

Agree22 Disagree35

31 Aug 2017 19:12:26
Needs to be reinvested into a cb.

Agree17 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 19:16:15
But sahko wouldn't be picked anyway. It's 26mil or we have a player (whose wages we are paying) who is not going to get a game no matter what. I keep saying it "7 clean sheets in last 9 premiership matches" that is not a team that can't defend. We will be fine as we are, and stronger with vvd. Sahko is irrelevant. That said I think he is a decent cb.

Agree25 Disagree3

31 Aug 2017 19:17:24
He isn't the vest CB and people need to remember he was part of the poor displays.

Agree21 Disagree6

31 Aug 2017 19:16:30
If you think Sakho is our best centre back you know diddly squat. His behaviour off the pitch has been unprofessional and his play on the pitch erratic to say the least. We have four centre backs not three.

Agree15 Disagree7

31 Aug 2017 19:18:55
The man is an idiot.
Having a guy like that in the dressing room is not worth the aggro.
Klopp is manager just back him why dontya.

Agree18 Disagree6

31 Aug 2017 19:21:19
Pakred, you need to see it that he was nothing more than a burden on our wage bill. Its been a long time since Klipperty made it very clear he wouldn't play for Liverpool again under any circumstances so in no way could he be counted as one of our CB never mind our best. I agree he has skill and sad it couldn't be worked out but that ship sailed many many months ago.
For the best I think as clearly he has attitude and behavioural issues and JK has a good squad atmosphere and team spirit at the moment and we don't need what he brought, so I agree with JK and as much as I rate him as a CB glad to finally see the back of him.

Agree13 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 19:23:02
And he fell foul of Klopp and others at the club with his disrespectful and disruptive behaviour.
Well rid.

Agree14 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 19:31:27
He was head and shoulders above them all. Wasn't afraid of a challenge and could head the ball properly.

Massive shame how his LFC career panned out.

Agree9 Disagree13

31 Aug 2017 19:33:15
Good stuff. Another £26 mill to balance the books. Let's hope this keeps the freekicks and corners from blasting into the back of the net!

Agree8 Disagree2

31 Aug 2017 19:49:17
Getting a replacement for a player who has not played for us in how long? Klopp wants Van Dijk or a top quality cb if one were available who would improve our starting 11 considerably. If he can't get him we can't just buy someone no better than lovren. For instance the desperation has made people on here think Johnny Evans should be bought. Maybe the supposed interest of other top teams is making some think maybe he is world class but had we made him a target at the start of the window there would have been an uproar.

Agree6 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 20:09:46
'he can head the ball properly'

i really disagree, his heading is poor. he wins the ball bt barely directs or gets power into it.

Agree5 Disagree3

31 Aug 2017 20:13:37
I really don't understand the failure to see that Sakho played in the bad patches of games, isn't noticeably better than Matip who is the best CB and has a disruptive attitude that undermines the manager and the squad. What of any of that makes it a bad deal to sell a player that is those things and other teams aren't queuing up to buy. If he was that good City would be chasing him and not Evans. They aren't and two teams from the relegation end of the table are the ones who want him.

Agree8 Disagree1

31 Aug 2017 20:23:07
After gomez lovren matip klavan I can't even think of a cb in u23s who could step up, so many games up til january bit of a gamble this I must say!

Agree3 Disagree2

31 Aug 2017 20:30:44
I agree Gallstones, only 1 can think of is Can, if we are desperate.

We really are risking it with such a thin backline.

31 Aug 2017 20:31:17
*Hailstones

Sorry.

Agree3 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 20:54:41
Pakred how is he our best CB?
A few last ditch tackles resulting from his own poor positioning does not a good defender make.

How we found a team willing to spend more than what we paid for him is a mystery to me and shows how inflated the market is!

Good luck to him but won't be missed.

Agree1 Disagree2

31 Aug 2017 21:02:39
I wouldn't be surprised if liverpool pulled a strange one out of the hat this evening in terms of a cb. Not getting vvd but we will in the end. January or next year. Unless he goes to arsenal or chelsea which wouldn't totally surprise me. I think 4 cbs, with one being quite young and another not proving that great, we are a little thin there. An injury and a suspension and we are in trouble. I reckon we'll grab someone on a year loan perhaps or someone old but good ish. To fill the numbers.

We've signed some very good players this year and I've thought all summer that keeping pipco could be our biggest success. It looks like it's happening. Let's forget about any possible disruption to the squad and remember how good the lad is and feel pleased he will be on our team this season.

Agree0 Disagree3

31 Aug 2017 21:15:29
Hailstones, rennie yous do know we only play with 2 cbs. As Eds have said many times if we were to sign a cb it would more thand likely mean one was going out. Likely meaning the end of gomez chances. He may have even been allowed to go on loan had he not showed Klopp signs that he is going to be a good option as backup across the back 4.

Agree0 Disagree1

31 Aug 2017 21:30:29
Superred, how is keeping a player who has said that he doesn't want to be selected or picked in the champions league squad a positive thing?

Agree1 Disagree1

31 Aug 2017 21:37:48
Kloppshop I understand what you are saying about 2 at the back but think back to last season. Matip is injury prone, Gomez is unproven. We are an injury or 2 away from no one else left to support.
On the plus side our front 3 is awesome and will terrorise teams all season.

Agree3 Disagree1

01 Sep 2017 01:09:34
Rennie. True but isn't every team?
I'm not sure they are injury prone or just got a few unfortunate knocks last year. 4 cbs should be enough. It's the quality of these that is our only problem.

Agree2 Disagree1

01 Sep 2017 07:58:20
Sakho was unprofessional, but coutinho has been unprofessional too, to an even worse extent you could argue, but yet one will be given a second chance, and the other not even allowed near the squad and now sold, doesn't look great setting double standards like that no matter who it is.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2017 14:44:56
worminator one of those is a world class player and the other is a decent but not great EPL player who has acted like a tool in the past as well. IF (and it is still a big IF) Coutinho gets a second chance that might be the difference. Having said that, considering how firm Klopp was over Sakho and that statements on here by reliable people (e. g. Eds) suggest that Klopp has had enough of him, then I wouldn't be surprised if Coutinho is ostracised as well. If the club could make the bids it did, without selling Coutinho, then the money isn't at issue, so they can probably afford to take a stance and say he's going to rot until he does something major to make up for it, or rot generally, or be sold when it suits the club, etc. Right now, if the window closes tonight and he isn't in Spain, then the stronger position would seem to lie more with the club no matter how good the player is. Personally I'm glad the club stood by the manager on Sakho. Can you imagine the club backing any player if they'd done that to Dalglish or Paisley?

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 18:47:39
We have accepted £26 million bid from Crystal Palace for Sakho!

Believable9 Unbelievable0

31 Aug 2017 19:00:35
I think we are bonkers letting him go we got 4 centre backs all are injury prone, I feel like I am going crazy as too how important strength in that area is.

Agree3 Disagree14

31 Aug 2017 19:13:37
Maybe Gomez will be our new star CB.

Agree6 Disagree3

31 Aug 2017 19:18:14
But he wasn't going to play so why keep him around and waste money on wages?

Agree7 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 19:23:16
Agree George T. By November Gomez will start alongside Matip.

31 Aug 2017 20:24:57
Yeah I am all for that but so many games injuries etc, I like gomez he looks like a solid cb.

Didnt he celebrate last season when benteke scored against us . get rid.

Agree4 Disagree1

31 Aug 2017 21:36:02
Sakho was a liability on the pitch and apparently off it too. Bambi staring into the oncoming headlights on ice w no skates. Totally disrespected the club and fans w benteke celebration last season to boot. Wish him well glad he's gone.

He will get more game time here than RM.

How abt spending Coutinho money for Kovacic and Lucas V from RM?

We would get more and competition.

No defenders because we only play attack.

Ed02 start a Venmo account, so we can send you money for a few pints because it seems like you are going to need it. Plus when you drunk you repeat yourself anyway.

{Ed002's Note - I don't need the money thanks.}

Lucas Vazquez really isn't that good. Not better than Mane or Salah and hardly a number 10.

Ballague just stated live on Sly 6.22pm that Couts is not being sold even if Barcelona raise their offer to 150m/ 160m euros.

Most expensive U23s player ever? :)

Believable32 Unbelievable4

31 Aug 2017 18:32:16
Maybe if he was under 23.

Agree5 Disagree8

31 Aug 2017 18:44:25
In the U23 league, 3 players over the age of 23 can be play at the same time in the team.

Agree9 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 18:51:24
Firmane, I think he is referencing coutinho playing in the u23 squad, not that he is under the age of 23.

Agree7 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 18:53:56
Haha. I think it's more to do with the fact he's refused to play first team football and to be named in our champions league squad so he will end up in reserves/ und23 team.

Agree6 Disagree1

31 Aug 2017 18:58:57
He might be dropped for a game or two, but unlikely to be much more in it then that. Same with VVD at Soton.

Agree3 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 19:00:54
Ed002 has given enough hint, he is gone.

Agree0 Disagree2

31 Aug 2017 19:43:26
He doesn't deserve a route back to the first team. If he does then it's hardly fair when you consider the punishment that Sakho received. For arguably lesser indiscretions.

Agree3 Disagree1

31 Aug 2017 21:05:56
What's he actually done? Not refused to play for us, just requested a move to the club all South Americans want to end up at.

Has given his all for us since he arrived and if we don't sell him we should be welcoming him back and be greatful for having such a talent playing for our great club. And owners that had the balls to resist the massive money on offer.

Agree1 Disagree2

31 Aug 2017 21:36:16
Beddoe, he has actually refused to play, he had feigned injury and illness, yet was well enough to make himself available for Brazil and be selected, he's told the club that he doesn't want to be in the champions league squad and he's been putting word around that he doesn't get on with Klopp to create disharmony in the squad. Now you tell me that any of that is acceptable? He shouldn't even be selected for the u23's. Frankly, training with the youth team is an insult to the youth team.

Agree5 Disagree1

31 Aug 2017 17:38:51
So according to James Pearce that's it for this transfer window. No centre back coming in is not good enough in my opinion. It's great having lot's of attacking talent but if you can't stop it going in the other end you can forget about it.

Believable23 Unbelievable16

31 Aug 2017 17:41:41
But if the player Klopp wants is not achievable then no need to panic buy.

Agree24 Disagree7

31 Aug 2017 17:42:05
Didnt he say it was unlikely rather then not happening.

Agree10 Disagree3

31 Aug 2017 17:52:23
Absolutely right, I mean surely we should just keep Sakho?

Agree6 Disagree14

31 Aug 2017 17:49:13
He said it was unlikely as it stands.

Agree6 Disagree2

31 Aug 2017 17:53:38
If he had accepted that his actions meant the transfer was a no-go 2 months ago when it became apparent, we wouldn't be panic buying - we'd just be buying.

Agree7 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 17:55:09
That's Pierce and Beakcroft now, think it's time to accept we wi not be doing anymore business.

Agree4 Disagree3

I believe James Pearce said is 'unlikely' not 'that's it'. is the Echo your prime source of knowledge, i wouldn't even trust their tv listings! :)

31 Aug 2017 17:59:36
I understand why the VVD deal is a difficult one but surely we know how much Monaco want for Lemar, if we're fed up with Coutinho and Lemar is seen as the replacement then just pay the money. Can't help but think Ox was the only one ever going to happen and they're saying, o well we tried for Lemar just to appease the fans.

Agree5 Disagree10

31 Aug 2017 18:04:20
With the attacking power we have the opposition will never get the ball so the defence will be sound.

Agree6 Disagree7

31 Aug 2017 18:04:30
Pearce is making an assumption. Only those doing the transactions know and that's why people like Macca haven't uttured anything else. If FSG say yes to 92M Lemar will come and very possible Coutinho will go.
Southampton could easily get cold feet and sell too. There is still a few hours more insanity to go yet.

Agree7 Disagree5

31 Aug 2017 18:16:37
It's not over till its over. Apart from a defender we've done quite well.

Agree4 Disagree3

31 Aug 2017 18:38:58
At some point this season we will have to rely on Klavan and Lovren as a partnership and if that thought isn't scary, I don't know what is. Fail to prepare is failure to prepare.

" Didn't Panic Buy " Klopp has had enough time since the club apologized to Southampton not to panic buy!

31 Aug 2017 18:57:42
Fail to prepare is preparing to fail I think is what you mean. Is it not also true sakho is on his way out for 26 million to palace since mangala deal fell through. Not acceptable for a club like Liverpool. No CB is just a disaster.

Agree4 Disagree2

31 Aug 2017 19:08:07
Not too bothered, really cos no defender will fix all our defensive issues so we move on.

Agree4 Disagree1

31 Aug 2017 19:27:17
Some people have a funny definition of disaster! Jeez, the team we have have qualified for ucl and got 2nd in league (dunno if we're still there) we have kept clean sheets this season and defended well except for watford game. If we keep coutinio then we really don't need lemar. We have bought really well this summer. Our team is geared up to attack and that is where we have reinforced. Vvd would be great and until it's over (tw) it's not over. We will be fine Without him but stronger with. If I had to choose between vvd or coutinio I would choose pc and if we're not going to break for Barcelona then why should Southampton break for us.

Agree1 Disagree4

31 Aug 2017 19:46:43
Superred91 no team has ever won the premier league without a solid defence and a solid midfield unit. We have neither, simply hoping to outscore opponents is naive at the very best.

Hi Eds,
any news on Sakho? Is he going to leave today? thanks.

Believable2 Unbelievable1

{Ed002's Note - I think there is a good chance he will.}

31 Aug 2017 17:42:49
The WBA chief executive is waiting to hear if Pulis really wants Sakho. Pulis would rather keep Evans, but will take Sakho if he leaves.

Palace are trying to play the "we've moved on" game by using Mangala. Only thing is they don't really want Magala so have only bid £18-20m knowing that city want £25m and Liverpool are unmoved. So far.

Agree6 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 14:25:21
Question for ed002 please. If Liverpool does not manage to bring a replacement in do you still believe Coutinho will go? Your answer is appreciated.

{Ed002's Note - It will be for Liverpool to decide if they want a player at the club who has feigned injury and illness and made it absolutely clear he wants to be elsewhere?}

If he does go and no replacement is found do you think this will go down as a good transfer window.

{Ed002's Note - Sure.}

Seemingly, Liverpool have decided they don't want the player.

I have heard from inside the club that they have agreed a fee of £138 million pounds (€150 millions euros) from Barcelona to sign Phillipe coutinho. I understand that the deal will be announced at 7pm bst either today or tomorrow given that the Spanish window shuts on Friday at midnight, Liverpool are currently looking for replacements and Thomas Lemar is looking the most likely as despite Arsenals huge bid for the player, to my understanding he prefers to play in the champions league and will therefore rather play for Liverpool. More to come soon.

Absolutely NO interest in Mayrez!

Mignolet will be gone today, will be interesting to see if an aging gk is brought in as cover for Karius/ Ward.

VVD and Lemar both still remain possibilities today, Lemar more likely as very close to the sale figure.

Coutinho to Barcelona will be announced tomorrow, LFC will bring in a replacement today I would fully expect that to be Lemar regardless of arsenals interest.

Is not 5 hours of the window left is 6 hours and 20 minutes. you are aware is just the registration needs to be in and can be subject to medical which can be done at any time! Is 2017 transfers can be registered in minutes, people need to get away from the timings. LFC do not publish everything they do day in day out minute by minute and most of what will be done this afternoon would not be spur of the moment these are deals that have been going on for a while.

First time poster. I am a voyer usually but I have been told by a youth team coach that in the next 3 hours we will have a confirmed bid in for Mahrez. he's no Phil but think he would bring his best form to us and with that middlefield to protect him. I fancy it!

Can't see VVD happening now for me but I live in hope.

If mahrez can be motivated he could be a fantastic signing. When wijnaldum scored and we beat boro last term I said to my mate "I bet mahrez signs for us" admittedly that was before salah joined. Since then I've accepted I was probably wrong. I would be happy if he signed. If we get vvd over the line I will be a very happy reds fan. If not I'm still happy and grateful to FSG for their statement of intent this summer. "Yeeeehah! " Sorry I don't know what came over me. Nice one John!

Sanchez is world class and Lemar has very good / excellent potential.

31 Aug 2017 16:00:40
Red Phil is usually spot on in his opinions. I hope you're right about lemar but I don't think it is massively important now. I don't think cout's is leaving and with the ox arriving we are no longer lacking depth. In fact klopps clever signings have made the squad seem bigger than it is. Robertson giving moreno a kick up the backside freeing up Milner to play further up. Dom solanke for pennies will score this season and ox can play in loads of positions. I think the one thing arsenal have got that could persuade lemar is a French speaking manager and staff. He (lemar) is with his French team mates and that could prove the reason we miss out. I would love him to sign but I think vvd is priority.

Agree0 Disagree1

31 Aug 2017 16:55:30
Quality attitude? He laughs when his team is losing (do you not remember seeing that? ), blames everyone around him for things going wrong and was anonymous at the weekend. The bloke doesn't have a quality attitude at all.

Normally I just post a few jokes and keep everyone entertained - however I do actually have some ITK to share. I don't normally post the rumours I hear, however I have fell in love with the site this summer so thought i'd share this one with you all and see how it goes.

It is very unlikely we will get any further business completed this window. Rather than just state this I have explained the situations below;

Club have spoken with Southampton again, but no successful conclusion as the Saints would like to see how if player will make a U-turn for this season. Likely to assess this in January. The rift between the clubs are not as damaging as the media portray, the apology was accepted, however they do not expect any public bids from LFC or communication with VVD. VVD will be speaking with Saints again today to discuss any future moves and the rest of the season expectations with Saints. Obviously if this went sour, a move could be possible but VERY unlikely due to time restrictions. If a bid does come in publicly, it would mean Saints will accept as the clubs would have been in touch, however still time restricted

Lemar - although player is happy to move, the clubs are unlikely to reach an agreement in time before the deadline. It is reported that the club actually portrayed interest in June, so this isent a last minute enquiry. It could come down to the wire if LFC stump up the funds, however they are cautious of over spending on Lemar at this point considering they have players in that position. Still possible but very unlikely unless LFC Stump up in time.

In terms of outs, all I know is; Origi on loan (widely reported anyway) and still a few clubs in for Sakho (everyone knows this)

In terms of Coutinho, I believe a gentleman's agreement was in place with Barcelona and LFC, not sure if this summer or next but supposedly dependant on incomings, not sure if AOC signing makes any impact. I don't expect to hear anymore info on Coutinho sorry as the source is not ITK with this one.

The club have done very well this transfer window, it is a shame that some moves did not materialise, but this is mainly down to the other clubs valuations and willingness to sell. It is clear players see LFC as a prospect and a good move which hopefully will only improve by next summer.

I'm sure the media will continue to drag these stories out, however its very unlikely any further business will complete.


Thanks.

31 Aug 2017 13:13:17
hi KMAC - what bit are you doubting? Hopefully I can clarify

In light of my comments not being positive I do expect some people to not agree.

Agree4 Disagree2

31 Aug 2017 13:21:29
It isn't down to other clubs valuations. It is down to ourselves not picking targets that we as a club can achieve to sign.

LFC have been told for months now VVD is not for sale. Yet they seem to have all there eggs in one basket.

I know not every deal is possible but we need to improve in the right positions. The CB position is a huge flaw in our side. It is the difference between finishing in the top 4 and actually winning a competition.

Agree1 Disagree4

31 Aug 2017 13:28:38
Hi Jordz - In terms of targets both Lemar and VVD are achievable in the sense they want the club. However Lemar's is purely a valuation problem wheras to an extent I do agree with the "eggs in one basket" comment for VVD. I think they thought they could 'bully' Saints into submission with money and media! - I agree there should have been other options. You can only assume there was but nothing materialised.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 13:48:09
I can understand frustration at a lack of back-up options for VVD, but remember - the club has bought a lot of 'decent' CBs for significant investment over the years. Sakho and Lovren both came with great reputations and a £20+M price tag.

Clearly the club thinks the only way to improve this area now is to get the player they see as the ideal fit, no matter how much it costs. Why should they spend on another 'decent' back-up option at CB for what would probably be a minimum of £40M, wasting the money they have set aside for their prime target and potentially leaving the problem still needing to be addressed again next year.

I'm gutted we can't get VVD this Summer, but don't want to see us spend for the sake of it. Save it and try again in Jan/ next summer.

31 Aug 2017 14:31:36
Darrenpike I'm not having a go here but at the beginning of all of that you've said an awful lot without actually saying anything really. you keep mentioning it's difficult and there not being enough time for negotiations etc . A transfer can be a simple or as difficult as the next. People keep saying about VVD isn't moving (he may not ) because the club won't sell him to us, that's absolute rubbish I'm sorry business is business and the new majority owner of soton has already said they need funds to strengthen, so as a business sense which there's all our if an offer to the valuation is made he will be sold to whoever it is that makes it (forget all this apology stuff it's irrelevant at this stage as it's about money now . as for personal terms they can be sorted reasonably quick especially by a player who wants the move, so I don't think saying I don't think there is enough time to do things is correct it's more about valuation and them being met . then you have the medicals side of it. players can be signed subject to them passing a medical which can take place after the window closes if my memory serves me correct.

The ball is firmly in Liverpool court with regards to the 2 players mentioned . if they want then enough they will have to pay for them there is plenty of time to meet the valuations . if they are not for sale (in lemar case ) then again time is irrelevant he won't be sold ( lemar and VVD are totally opposite cases as VVD has publicly tried to leave and has been trying to do so for months now and a club won't keep a player like that as it will have a negative effect around the squad if there valuation is met he will be gone just the same as pip at Liverpool)

Agree1 Disagree1

31 Aug 2017 14:57:33
Hi Back in the big show

appreciate what you are saying - problem with Southampton, they don't have time to replace now, really the should have accepted early then replaced but ultimately they don't want to sell unless an offer comes in to big to turn down. I agree, no issues with player agreements but negotiations are not as quick as people think

Lemar - very rarely a player is publicised as 'for sale'. But everyone has a price, his price is c£90m its just whether we would go there and I think the club would rather keep Pipco than commit that IMO only.

In summary i'm saying everything is unlikely now as if LFC do stump up big money, the clubs will not have time to sign replacements or to get everything through. You would expect it would need to happen in the next couple of hours really

only sharing but appreciate the input.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 14:59:39
G-Force - I hope I'm wrong and they both go through! but ill accept the gratitude of sharing the information at 11 if not. as its all looking like its going that way at the moment

31 Aug 2017 15:11:05
Darrenpike. Soton have had since May to find a replacement they have be aware since Feb he was unhappy and looking to maybe move. this isn't something out of the blue for Southampton they have know for a while and have indeed signed a CB in this window.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 15:20:51
They wanted an additional centre back regardless of move. I feel they thought they could talk him out of it for at least one more season. Its only since he is training a lone they have had to think about additional signings which I appreciate has been a while.

However, they don't expect to surrender, but if something big comes imagine they will consider it as everyone has a figure in mind (as you said its business) - its just whether they feel they could make the most of the money. I would imagine they agree for next summer of January.

Don't shoot the messenger but received this info off a club steward who claims to be ITK.

Liverpool sold Coutinho to Barcelona 2 weeks ago for £140m deal. Barcelona agreed to Coutinho going on 01/ 09 so that Liverpool did not have to pay a premium for players with other teams knowing they had this money to spend. Liverpool also felt the fans would not be as upset if Liverpool had signed two or three more players and Coutinho had "forced" the deal through. Coutinho had his medical 2 weeks ago and the agreement was that he would not play another game and would go to Barcelona straight from the international break. Barcelona have agreed to form a relationship with Liverpool over transfers also as part of the deal. Namely if they are prepared to let players go they would inform Liverpool first.

Believable5 Unbelievable12

Believable but I just hope we spend the money on trying to get some reinforcements. A CB and a cout replacement.

Opinion from an ex player (currently working for the club) is that VVD will not happen this window. He said LFC were hoping others would bid as they saw this would allow them to bid. They will not bid solely as they see this as breaking the promise made to Saints. He expects that this will be resurrected in Jan.

Also he believes the owners want Coutinho to stay even if Lemar signs (they want to show they have kept their word to fans) . However Klopp is apparently pi**ed off with him for training (and likely playing) for Brazil and wants him gone. He thinks this is 50/ 50.

He did stress that he has no involvement in transfers or any playing matters and that this was all his personal opinion.

Agree8 Disagree6

31 Aug 2017 12:03:10
Think liverpool stated they will drop interest (for unsettling a player) unless SHFC indicate they are willing to sell. If a bid from another team comes in and do not reject it immediately, then this open the door for Liverpool to register there interest. Too little to late, problem is he has constantly said he wants LFC move, so this is prob put off other teams and its backfired. I suspect the same thing with the OX, liverpool have prob tapped him up as he was linked very early, as soon as chelsea bid liverpool got their man.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 12:37:06
The rumour with Ox is that Arsenal didn't want to deal with us cause of the old Suarez thing, so we didn't bid until the last minute when they'd already planned around him leaving. Don't know how true that is.

Can anyone please give us something concrete on VVD and Lemar?

I am confident at this present moment that we can challenge for the title, but if we can get those two over the line as well that would give us the depth and quality to challenge on ALL fronts.

Colleagues are huge Arsenal fans here, who seem to think they have made an enquiry about Clyne - does anyone else know anything about this?

I could be very wrong but MAYBE Lemar is dependant on Coutinho leaving - which MAYBE a deal maybe announced tomorrow - preventing us being held to ransom on signing a replacement.
It might be Coutinho can leave, subject to us signing his replacement.
A few possible maybe's but all possible, or we may just sign Lemar anyway!

On a separate note, thanks mainly to Eds and all for one of our most entertaining, busy and exciting transfer windows - it's been emotional!

Ed01. Do you want the 2mg or the 5mg Valium? I have both. I've been using mostly the 5mg since the last week. This window has shattered my personal life.

Ed002, do you simply copy and paste that response - you must have it set as a standard answer by now! Understandably so too.
The site is for people like me to read and see what others are saying, that's why I come here anyway, and for the banter of course
Keep fighting the good fight Eds 👍.

Ox seen in the red kit getting in a lift last night. He will be announced before midday!

Klopp is going to start playing 3 at the back to accommodate Can and Ox in the same ream. Can of course will play in the back 3 like he did for Brenda and was pretty awesome as I recall with Matip and Lovren
Then Ox Gini and Hendon midfield 3
Moreno and TTA wingback.
Then Salah Mane Firmino and Couts up front.
3-5-4 formation.

Agree5 Disagree22

31 Aug 2017 08:09:47
I think the F. A. may have a few words with us about that formation.

31 Aug 2017 08:09:59
Can was not great in a back 3 and your team set up count is a bit high.

Agree13 Disagree1

31 Aug 2017 08:11:59
New rules?

Allowed to play 12 players?

Great formation! Will probably make top 4 with 13 players on the field. Do you think they will let us?

31 Aug 2017 08:19:19
I heard that in order to accommodate both migs and karius they will both be deployed on the goal line making it 2-3-5-4 formation. The future is bright lads.

31 Aug 2017 08:21:48
Guys any updates on the CB? We really really need one good CB, the current ones we have (except for Matip) won't win us anything.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 08:25:00
Langland, Can struggled in a back three. Not sure what you were watching? Can's best place is in centre midfield, once the window has closed we need to make every effort to get him to stay as it is obvious to most observers that he is one of the most talented centre midfielders in Europe.

Agree4 Disagree2

31 Aug 2017 10:07:58
Langland, why would Klopp wanna do that? He sees Ox as a squad player to cover for the wings and CM when someone needs to rest. Klopp does not accommodate players neither does he play a back 3 as he never has except at Stoke and he binned it at half time as it was not working.

Agree0 Disagree1

31 Aug 2017 10:26:13
If Coutinho stays, Can doesn't get in the starting XI.
If he goes and, say, VVD and Lemar join, he may get in the starting XI.
And, if he did, he'd probably be the slowest outfield player in the team.
Which for a modern midfielder, in a Klopp side particularly, is damning.
Just not mobile enough, for me.

Agree1 Disagree5

31 Aug 2017 13:35:58
Can was so dominant on the right side of a back 3 that in this formation we don't even require a goalkeeper.

Brilliant tactical innovation; something you'd have expected to see come from Italy, but now developed on England's own shores. It's like the reinvention of football itself.

He is known as Der Raumdeuter which means the space finder.

Agree2 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 09:26:25
Raumdeuter= spacefinder a term made popular on football manager 2017 or is a very forward winger given a rather free role to literally find the space (or so I've been told)

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - it is an old German football term mate, FM just added it into their game recently but it has defo been around years.}

Oh i didn't get it from fm😜muller gav an interview som time back i rmbr it frm dt time.

31 Aug 2017 10:10:29
Muller's ability to find space is the reason he is able to partner any striker that Bayern has had to play next tio him hence, his nickname.

Hey Eds

Di Marzio is reporting we are going after Emerson Palmieri from Roma who is a left back. It says we are looking to sign him and send him back on loan or make an agreement for him to come next year.
You heard anything about this or even have you heard of the player and do you rate him? Never heard of him before so was wondering.

Can't see any movement on the VVD situation. Feel for the boy to a certain degree. If he stays there the fans might not forgive him for the statements about the club etc.

I know it would take a massive turn around from his club but putting the things right sometimes after a big F. up is the best thing to do. It's the same in life someone has to make the move no matter how small to start building bridges again.

But hey were Jurgen has done wrong by this one and others. hopefully that will be that and we move on with any other additions or not.

Enjoy the deadline day folks may it bring some happiness to someone. YNWA.

Believable11 Unbelievable2

31 Aug 2017 05:38:54
I trust Macca and his info. He said Tuesday could be the day that a centre half signs, finally. Given that Tuesday has been and gone, I suspect the chances of VVD signing are very slim at best.

Maybe Milner as a stop gap for the year?
