General LFC Transfer rumours/gossip thread

Not taking anything away from Ings’ finishing but we’ve seen plenty of times how Sturridge can score a boss goal with boss technique out of nothing. A couple I can think of straight away is the lob vs WBA and the goal against Sevilla in the final.

Ings has never really had a proper run in the team with us and we’ve not really seen what he is completely capable of so to be fair I could be doing him a complete injustice.

Yeh I just think different types of finishers - I like that Ings (in the little game time we saw before injury) attacks the near post and is alive to 2nd ball (unlike our midfield!).

He’s definitely a player that needs games to get momentum, he became bit of a regular, all be it briefly before injury under Rodgers and he was starting to find the back of the net and look in good form. Under Klopp he’s basically become a forgotten quantity because how much he has been injured.
I’ve said before I don’t think he will ever have what it takes to be a key player for us but it would be good if he could get himself into a position where he is reliable back up and able to come off the bench and make a real impact when we need a goal.

Klopp in today's Echo about transfers:

“Our situation is always the same, we really look (for players) all year," Klopp said.

"So why should I stop now only because January 31st is nearly here?

“We do that all the time. Nothing has changed. The only thing is with one or two players we maybe have to make a decision is it for now or is it for the summer? That's the only difference.

"But look, we are constantly looking, my iPad is full of players from all over the world. That's what we do.

“But specific? No. It is not that we now say exactly that we need that or we cannot play football any more."

So maybe the only question is whether Sturridge leaves and if he does, if someone comes in for cover for the forward line.

Doesn't look like Lemar is gonna sign in Jan. If he was, think there would be more leaks.

Tbh, looks like we won't sign anyone.  Apart from the lad from Falkirk!

That's bullsh*t. No way FSG forked out for an iPad. It's probably a Kindle from the black Friday sale, unless Klopp got it himself.

I've a feeling you're going to be disappointed in the summer mate!

Like the way we were disappointed that Klopp got all his first choice signings?

He didn't.. Brandt was the first choice but said he doesn't want to move so the committee suggested Salah to Klopp who had doubts about him because he was too lightweight.

Sorry but how do you know this, are you on the committee?

As far as we know.  Brendan sure as hell didn't!

Lemar not in the Monaco squad again this weekend. Sturridge not in the 18 for us...

Straight swap? I’m in........

 

This thread is F***ing depressing.

Can't beat Swansea or West Brom, yet still no new signings, spurs next , probably win that and paper over the cracks.

Nah we did sign that 18-year-old left back whom we had never heard before and probably never will again.

Did we buy anyone? Na we will be ok with what we got!!!!! for F**k sake!

The reason were not signing anyone is down to money, to suggest otherwise is nonsense, and before someone says "it's Klopp's decision to wait until the summer" that's bullshit, and if you believe it you're a mug!

There's no way Jürgen wouldn't want the strongest squad possible with CL and FA cup games coming up, and an almighty battle for a top 4 spot.

How is it nonsense? The man has admitted himself that there is plenty of money available and that he's happy with the squad, or am I imagining that?

Looks like we need a keeper, a creative midfielder and another striker as a bare minimum.

Lallana was supposed to be like a new signing.
Moreno too, apparently, before this game.
And don't forget PL-proven clinical striker Danny Ings who can come on in the last 15 minutes to change the game.

Brendan sang from the same hymn sheet too!

No we're fine to the summer! 👍

I offer to drive Can to the airport and go to the ends of the world to pick up Lemar and bring him back ...... And I live in AMERICA

On the upside - at least with Trump you can see the ends of the world from there mate 😳
