      What baffles me is why he thinks the two are mutually exclusive? F**k Moreno off, he's not fit to pull on the shirt, bring in a top quality replacement in his prime and a long term project who will learn from him and eventually take over. That's how you develop youth and build a title winning squad.

      Seems like there's options out there that are as good or better than Chillwell. Hector for one.

      So basically we've fu**ed around all summer trying to lower Leicester's asking price and we've not bothered to come up with a list of other targets so Milner will now have to do.

      How is it possible to go into the summer window with left back as one of our 3 main areas of weakness and to finish the window with us being weaker in that area.

      Also, how is our vice-captain a utility sub? :D.

      Chillwell isnt good enough

      he does not start for Leicester, he has had very little game time and people calling his name as if he is the new r carlos

      people were saying the same thing when we signed Cissokho and then when we signed Moreno

      bring in a top quality replacement in his prime

      Evidently according to Pearce the manager does not see a top quality player that "HE" wants at this time.

      great one, you solved the mystery we've all been dying to know: "how do you develop youth and build a title winning squad" - by bringing in top quality and long term projects.

      so who are these players??

      Isn't it the Amish who reckon that 'The biggest sin of all is to speak for  God'?  ;) :laugh:

      Joking aside tho'... If Pearce is right, which I assume you believe him to be, it has to be great news. Not that Jürgen can't "see" someone right now but the fact that Jürgen wants "top quality".

      That, of course, throws up some other interesting points for discussion but at least (and at last) there can be no ambiguity, further down the line, about who we credit; who we 'blame'. I genuinely welcome that.  8)

      How can there not be a left back in world football that Klopp wouldn't prefer over Moreno? I find that staggering.

      We're not talking about replacing a top quality striker that is going to cost upwards of £50-60m, we're talking about replacing a bang average attacking left back who is a liability and can't defend.

      Is this the first sign of chinks in Klopp's Armour??... We all knew (and that includes Jürgen) That the Left Back position was an Issue for us, and this was seen as a problem area before the half way mark of last  season; so why then were we not looking for a replacement from then?... O.K. Klopp wanted to give everyone a fair shout and not bring in players until the summer. But where on earth did that stop us looking and possible identifying targets before that window opened?... European,South American,Asia, we should have had scouts out there working there socks off doing just that... OK The manager has his type of player he wants but surely there are other players out there who fit the criteria or come very close. For the life of me I can not understand why this was allowed to drag on for so long, and get to the point where we have LFC looking to James Milner as a potential left back for parts of the season. makes no sense

      Maybe he's seen plenty but just doesn't think we can get them here so he isn't going to sign someone for the sake of it?

      Or maybe he just rates Alberto higher than people on here do.

      That's the one Si. Even Chilwell having not played a first team Premiership game for Leicester was hardly credible competition for Alberto, the only sensible conclusion to all this is Jürgen rates our current left back much higher than most on here. He thinks Moreno is going to do a Lovren, and lets hope he's right. As for "surely there's a left back in World football" well there's plenty of left backs in the Premiership who are better, including incidentally the one who Rodgers actually wanted, the one who was laughed out of court on here and eventually remained at Southampton (he was the one that got away as far them and us are concerned :lmao:).

      Anyway from my perspective we are rapidly approaching the point where debate about who we should and shouldn't have signed will be by the by. For my part I've made my personal feelings clear, I think this season will in time be looked back upon as the season where Jürgen learned that you can't do consistently well in the Premiership when everyone else is spending bucketloads and you are being thrifty. It wasn't possible under any of our previous managers, it won't be possible under this one either. Soon though such arguments will be even more academic than they are now.

      Once we start the proper games I'll be as behind the lads and Jürgen as anyone else and hoping upon hope that those who think he can "do a Leicester" are right, and that old cynics such as me and BBB are wrong.

      There is over a month left in the transfer window, I am sure there will be more players coming in and players being sold before it closes.

      I think we are just trying to move a few on first to ensure we don't get stuck with excess wages. Once we sell a few we will hopefully still have time enough to get the players we need.

      Not sure I believe that we will only be buying "one if that" personally, as I think we still need at least 2 hopefully 3 more if we can sell Benteke.

      So Ben Chilwell signs a contract extension.

      Understood he had a knee injury that no one was letting on about .

      That's pretty much how I see it.  I think we will sign a LB (sorry guys and gals, but this will probably be backup for Moreno) regardless of whether anyone else leaves.  We may sign another CB if Klopp decides he's had enough of Sakho.  We may sign another CM (Allen's replacement) if we find one who represents good value and fits Klopp's tactical setup.  We may sign 1 more attacker (probably another wide forward) if we can shift Benteke, Alberto, and Markovic. 

      I just hope we can get our last bits of business done sooner rather than later.  Always best to get the new players in during preseason, but that ship is quickly sailing into the sunset.....
