General LFC Transfer rumours/gossip thread

Just a thought: let us pretend none of this whole Coutinho sh*t had happened, he's never been unsettled and we are all very happy he is here because... well because he is the only real creator in midfield. The others are okay for short-term cover but fall short over a sustained period.

With just a long-term injury away [just like last winter] - should we not really have been looking for and buying another playmaker, irrespective? 

Yeah I understood the need for a left-back or two, I appreciate the pace Salah brings to the team and I do like the look of Solanke but even if you are a Migs convert; it is hard to argue that our spine really needs shoring up/improving. In a Summer that we were assured 'money is not a problem'; a centre-half, 2 x centre-mids [creative & 'defensive'] and a centre-forward [Lewandowski/Aubameyang type  ] were what I, genuinely, expected the big money to be spent.

With only 8 days to go I am still hopeful but even if 'we' can sign players, for those positions - it is, at best, going to be a mad scramble; a mend & make do, see what's left. Not very professional and not what you'd expect of a big club on the verge of a return to Europe's top table. 

** Moan ends...

Too expensive. 


 

Stop talking sense, FSG might hear you.

Agree.

We're way short of the quality additions I thought we would need for this season given CL football, the need to improve to keep up and over take others and the sheer amount of games we face this season.

FSG might hear you.

Whisper it quietly Robie but according to John W, 'they' already know. 

"I want to know why we are doing what we are doing on the pitch and with regard to player acquisition. I wouldn’t be doing my job in allocating resources if I wasn’t able to make sense of the individual steps we are taking within the context of our overall philosophy."

I hear you Si and there's no point (in my mind) trying to put a different spin on it; it's a turd that doesn't warrant polishing. I'd be fooling no one if I pretended otherwise. 

Fingers crossed.

With Lallana injured till December, this is exactly what has happened, isn't it, BBB?

I actually dreamt last night that it was confirmed we'd signed Keita for £70M.

That's no use to man nor beast, I know, but nor are the vast majority of posts on this transfer board....

What Daz said...in short as Southerners would say over here..."that dog won't don't hunt"

Try again.

With all due respect, the reason you don't see it is because "  It's a mystery! It's a mystery wrapped in a riddle inside an enigma!"

This Summer Transfer board has taken so many twists and turns that we are now quoting The movie JFK.  😅.

Who's going to the board's Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby?

Qualified for the Champions League proper now.

Surly NOW we make moves.... Right....

Now can we buy some players please?

we have no choice now. Playing kids in League Cup and Europa league is one thing.

But to go into the Champions League with a squad this thin.  Err..Umm No.

Could mean a few things. More money into the club to be made available, players now knowing we are a champions league team and more willing to take the plunge... or it could mean nothing and we just crack on as we are.

One thing's for sure, you're not going to be wrong there!

Sad that we seen to be waiting on Champions league qualification to make a move in the transfer market, after being told it was going to be a record breaking summer,  but we're here now so lets do this.

What did Klopp say in the presser after the match...few people saying he made it sound like no more incoming.

... are FSG going to ask "Lets do what?" as a few million more is assured for the bank account.

Klopp has now mentioned in both pre and post match interviews how players are always mentioning Champions League in contract or transfer talks, subtle hint?

Lets get at least a defender now!

Wouldn't hold your breath

Didn't hear it, but I would be surprised if at least one more player didn't come in.

I would hope Jürgen world answer that question if the duo ask it 😎

I never hold my breath when it comes to LFC transfers, not git the last 7 years anyway!
As for the profile pic, when he comes back and starts playing like he can, all well be forgiven.
