      What's the situation with Sakho?

      If we can't sell him for  £30 million does he just rot in the reserves or go out on loan until his contract expires?

      Seems very odd we won't just sell him to the highest bidder at this stage whatever the price.

      I don't know much about the player to be honest but if he receives that sort of praise from Xavi Hernandez, then he must be doing something right. We still need a midfielder, Keita seems out of our reach.

      "Xavi urges Barcelona to sign “fantastic” Jean-Michael Seri before price doubles": http://www.squawka.com/news/xavi-urges-barcelona-to-sign-fantastic-jean-michael-seri-before-price-doubles/979431#tx0a0oyu4QpcGEoK.97

      “When I was told that a player from Nice was called the ‘African Xavi’, I followed him very closely, inevitably,” he told Le Parisien.

      “I did not know him and I was stunned: I haven’t seen such midfield talent for a while. [His] short game, long game, tactical intelligence, distance shooting, personality, game organisation…wow! He would go so well at Barça … He can play anywhere in the middle. Seri is fantastic. He has what is called Barcelona’s Barça DNA. Without any hesitation.”

      No news. But what's new there.
      But if we don't sell him, and either Matip or Lovren get injured, or even if they don't get injured, surely to F**k we can't afford to loan him out, or let him rot. The way things are right now, to quote Platoon 'we need every swingin dick in the field'.  Him and Lovren had started to play well at one point last season, before 'the relationship' went to hell. If we don't sell him, and VVD or someone like that doesn't come in, Jürgen is surely going to have to swallow a big lump of pride for the sake of the team.

      Regarding transfers, given our performance yesterday, it's probably knocked a few million onto the price of anyone we 'might' just go looking for, given they've seen how badly we need them.
      Are we still on plan A?

      You know who they should have signed...Ceballos. I swear, their scouts are probably worse than ours.

      We need to shore up our defense, need a midfielder who can get the ball to our creators, and we've needed a good #6 for the past 5+ years, we're obviously willing to spend lots of money and yet William Carvalho is supposedly going to West Ham for £32m.

      Wolves are playing proper football, and mostly down to Jota and Neves, both players Wolves fans are raving about. How much did Neves cost?

      16m for Neves - who I've been wanting us to go after for years. But Jorge Mendes is behind that whole project there because of his relationship with the owners. He put Espirito Santo in there and he's been responsible for the Portuguese influx to the club on good deals by selling Wolves as a stepping stone for them which I'm sure it will be and the big guys will come knocking for 40m in a few years.

      If you wanna sure up the defence than talk to Klopp on changing the strategy on balls into the box. VVD will help, but until we play set peices better Carragher is dead on. It wont really matter.

      Starting to get a bit tired of this transfer window.
      We've had;

      - Public apologies
      - Public statements saying a player won't be sold
      - Followed by a transfer request of said player within about an hour
      - Been told to do one by Leipzig
      - Been told to do one by Saints
      - Signed a LB that apparently isn't even good enough to make the bench
      - Meant to have been the summer we really strengthen and make the team truly competitive
      - Fobbed off about having to be patient
      - Klopp effectively saying he doesn't have the final say over players after all

      This summer has been one for the books alright. In fact we could write a book on how to completely and utterly F**k up and embarrass ourselves by Liverpool Football Club.

      Comes to something when the positive thing about this summer will be if we manage to keep hold of a player.

      Relax on the 26 predictions. He will be play soon, and judging by Morenos performance he will probably be consistent first squad very soon. Smarter people than us really like his game.

      Klopp and Carra are right that just buying quality defenders wont solve our set piece problems. Firmino and Gini were at fault for the two goals we conceded from corners so the team as a whole has to do better. However we need to improve the quality of the squad imminently. Both Matip and Lovren dont fill me with any confidence. Gini, Can and Hendo are far too inconsistent with lots of iffy performances in between spectacular ones. This Coutinho situation is hurting us bad. With Lallana injured it has become even worse as we have no creative playmaker in the middle. Klopp either needs to trust the strikers he has got and put Firmino in midfield or buy a new striker.

      Of course mate problem might not be eliminate but surely get quality defender in will improve it alot.
      Top quality defender with aggressive, intelligent, aerial dominant, and troop command leader quality will help other players to build the organised defense. We just have zero of them in our current squad.

      And one thing Klopp may be better to realize is he and his coaching staff failed coaching (Klopp would say 'training') defend to their squad. So no matter the quality CB signing this window or not they better find someone defend specialist coach to help them.

      Finally Klopp says his team do not need a specialist DM, I hope he change this or adjust his approach of the game for better balance.

      We said we needed a goalkeeper, central midfielder, and a centre back.

      And we still do.

      And a left back apparently

      James Pearce: "No injury for Andy Robertson. Just left behind by Klopp"

      https://twitter.com/JamesPearceEcho/status/896325589426216960

      Do you think Klopp didn't pick Robertson because he was a TC signing and he's making a point? Some say he's being kept for the ECL game but I find that strange. He needs minutes under his belt; surely starting off in a ECL game is a bit of a risk.

      Or as someone put it "Has he put in a transfer request?"  :D

      What a mess

      Probably more likely he's not tactically where he needs him yet and he wants him to get note tuned in during training than learning in such a big game.
      He has two who knows what he wants from the position so why risk it?
      Milner will start.

      Would have been the same had he got Sessengon I'd think

      Klopp comes out and says we need more players just like he has done since his arrival.

      Yet the club once again can not deliver for one of the top coaches in the world.
      WTF is wrong at our club, what have the scouts been doing over the last year, F***ing around with Keita when we should have moved onto our second targets.

      We were told continuously that this year would be the big one with a £200M war chest.
      Yet here we are again facing the same situation that we have seen so often recently.

      Complete cluster F**k of a transfer window.

      I only saw a few games but that wee Seri, who plays for Nice, impressed me a lot.


      Joking aside Diego; when I put his name forward, as a possible alternative to Keita, I was told Nice said he was going nowhere. Looks like he's highly thought of tho', so who knows.
