      Does this mean Coutinho is leaving in Jan though?

      Seems a lot £75 Million. Many reckon Pogba wasnt worth £90 Million in todays market  and they were wrong.  ;D Time will tell.  :roll:

      Finally.
      Klopp has his man and hopefully we have few less sleepless nights and nails on our fingers.
      Gotta believe that it’s going to VVD and Matip as first choice pairing
      Gotta sort out the keeper situation next and we will be in a far better position.

      Glad we got him but Edwards got taken to the cleaners.. seems like every transfer we pay what they ask for.. 75fcking millions :o

      So we don’t pay the asking price and end up missing out on a player to another team and the fans slate the club for not spending the money to get the player.

      The club doesn’t f**k about, gets a deal done straight away and that’s still not good enough?

      Some people are too bothered about finding a way to have a dig at the club in one way or another.

      Well Coutinho is going and we all know that...so I suppose you could use that argument on every player if it serves your purpose.

      We never offered 75m in the summer. It was 60 something. 64m if I remember right.

      That’s not quite what I was getting at. More the whole reporting us thing, categorically ruling any move out and us still having a sh*t defence early season

      Basically it was an attempt at light hearted humour but obviously it went missing

      This guy and Keita are going to be such brilliant additions.

      Crazy money for a CB, but everything's mental these days.

      Welcome to the club Virgil!

      If we keep Coutinho until the summer that's fine because I remember reading that we didn't need to sell Coutinho to buy players!

      No reason to think we are letting him go this Winter...we are pushing in the league...in the hunt in CL and he is cup tied....holding on to him this Summer would have made zero sense to let him go this Winter...I still think we see Lemar this window or Summer...he is Coutinho's replacement.

      Fantastic news.

      Should have been done in the summer but at least it's wrapped up before this window opens.

      Okay, so just another CB and a goalkeeper who can be relied upon.

      Good news though, I'm glad Klopp has gotten his man.

      Welcome Virgil..
      As Shanks said about Ron Yeats when he joined us..."The man is a Giant'

      What this has done has sent a serious message out across the Premier League and Europe that we mean business and it's about time as well..
      £75m maybe a record for a defender but he will make such difference to our backline.

      Can't wait to see him in his Red kit running out at Anfield..

      I'd hold him back and play him in the derby cup game ;D

      Can he play in our CL games against Porto? pretty certain he can..

      It’s like Saints just wanted us to struggle defensively for another few months before letting us have him.

      Praise be to Jesus/Budda/Mohamed/the aliens......

      Don't turn Sh*te all of a sudden like Lovren  :P

      Does this mean Coutinho is leaving in Jan though?

      I reckon this has no bearing on that Orchard. If Coutinho goes in January, then he was already likely leaving. I’d say the more likely barometer for whether Coutinho is leaving is if you see us sign Lemar or Draxler or someone of that nature.

      Ooh.....or maybe Pulisic now that Dortmund sucks balls.

      Happy about the signing? You bet. But our defence can only be perfected once we get a goalkeeper fit to wear the shirt in goal.

      Nah don’t think he can be registered until the 2nd. Don’t think Klopp would chuck him in there anyway - not his style. I’d say he will be given a few weeks of training with the squad before he starts.

      Yes re Porto.
