General LFC Transfer rumours/gossip thread

Rabiot on offer this month for 15 million...if true we would be mad not to

Wouldn’t complain in the slightest if it happened, but at the same time I don’t think he’s a necessity at this very moment so I could understand why the club would wait a few months and then just take him on a free.

I wouldn’t be shocked either that if he did sign, we don’t see him play straight away anyway.

Trent out for 4 weeks

Good job we have lots of cover at RB

Milner, Fabinho?

Milner, Fabinho?

Camacho too. Klopp is no fool, he’s fully aware that an injury to Trent could happen, there’s a risk with every player and injuries, so I don’t think he’d have let Clyne go unless he was absolutely confident in the options that can cover his absence...or potential absence if you look at it from the moment Clyne went and Trent wasn’t injured.

I wonder if people would be so focussed on Clyne had he not played against the Mancs? Even when Trent was injured last time, that is the only game he’s had, and that was probably down to Milly having a knock at the time.

It wasn't just that Cyne played against Manure, its that he played very well, much better than Milner recently played at RB. Fabinho is an unknown quantity but I'm sure he can do a job at RB but I still think losing Clyne without having a replacement is extremely stupid.

Milner done good job filling in at RB vs Wolves/Bournemouth earlier this season when called upon, just as good as Clyne appearance vs Man Utd. I can understand supporters can be annoyed thinning out the squad but I don't see much difference in quality between the two.

Well that comes down to personal preference, Milner is not terrible by any stretch but he has seemed very tired of late, but perhaps that was more down to the busy Xmas period.

Agree. Personally I wouldn't have let Clyne leave but thinking about it can see why Jürgen has.

It's nowhere near as bad a situation as some on here think it is.

Of course it's not mate.
It's just an excuse for the drama queens to fire up their "I told you so" scripts.

It concerns me a bit and I'm in no mood for drama. Perhaps over worrying but perhaps not.

All in all I just didn't see the need in it. The United game showed 2 things to me. 1 when he was in the squad he got picked when TAA was injured and 2 he did a good job.

I get the feeling that Clyne forced the deal through. Debate comes as to whether Jürgen should have put this foot down and told him to stay until the summer but we all know Klopp isn't that type of manager.

He was behind TAA, Milner and Fabinho.

Mountains out of molehills for me.

Isco anyone? Barely played for the last few months, clearly not wanted at Madrid and not happy there. Bags of ability. One of them players that I think if he went to someone like City, he’d take the league by storm. If he’s up for grabs, surely it’s worth a look?

Always a big fan of his and could fill the attacking mid-fielder void we currently have within our squad (someone to link middle and front three). I think he would be worth a good look into if he wants a move from Madrid.

I think so mate.
And maybe, just my opinion, Clyne leaving help Camacho make easier decision to stay with us.

Every day of the week and twice on Sundays. World class

Fekir handed in a transfer request?.

Not yes........Hell yes!!!!

Every real madrid coach can't be wrong

Would be a great shout, wouldn't surprise me if he could be got on loan. I think we need another attacking player, we;'re only ever an injury to one of our front 3 away from being in a bit of trouble and there will be some tight games between now and the end of the season and we don't have the firepower sitting on the bench like City.

So a resounding yes for Isco then. I haven’t really seen him play a great deal which is why I asked the question. I remember him causing us hell in the final last season though, was very unlucky not to score too.

We definitely need a left sided attacking player (as you mentioned before). Whether wide or a playmaker type, we need somone to give Mane a run for his money.

The more I think about it, the more I would prefer a quick wide player rather than playmaker for the left sided attack, although, I wouldn't cry if we buy an Isco or Aouar.

Exactly. Somehow he has never really fully convinced me. He is a fine player on his day, but for some reason, he hasn't really had his real breakthrough yet? Seems to be spending time on the bench regularly, a lot of substitutions etc.. Also don't see where exactly he fits in. He doesn't get in ahead of Mane or Salah when we're playing a front three and when we switch it up, Firmino and Shaqiri also play in these positions. With Oxlade-Chamberlain coming back and Keita still finding his feet, I don't see why we'd need to bring him in. I know you can never have enough quality players, but I think there's a better option out there:

Thorgan Hazard.

Been watching him since 2012 I think it is when he went on loan to Zulte-Waregem and won the Golden Shoe (prize for the best player in the Belgian league). He has it all I think.

9 goals and 6 assists so far this season. He can play anywhere across the front three, I even think he would be suited to play Firmino's position when we play that front three. Statistically, he looks very much like a hybrid of Firmino and Oxlade-Chamberlain, but without the Ox's raw pace. He has very similar numbers in tackles won, dispossessing players, successful take-ons, ... He is a very complete player. Good passing, a threat from outside the box, can beat a player 1 v 1, set-pieces, ...

I think he'd also be able to play as one of our most advanced midfielders in a midfield three or as a #10 in the 4-2-3-1. He is very versatile, 25 years old, so best years ahead of him, and he has been working with Dieter Hecking who also managed De Bruyne at Wolfsburg. He has massively improved since then with regards to his attacking numbers but also his work rate in general.

Profile (according to Whoscored):



He is a tailormade Klopp player in my opinion. Think he'd make a great addition to our squad.

He was behind TAA, Milner and Fabinho.

Not sure if he is. Like I say when TAA was out v United it was Clyne he turned to.
