Thiago Alcantara (Bayern Munich)

Good for you, if more people on here could own up when they are wrong it would be a nicer place.

F***ing hell

Your post count would be double apologising for every post 😀

I personally didnt this would happen, made up ot has..not arsed one bit that I was wrong and happy to admit I called this one wrong 👌

Pleased that Jürgen has pretty much got the player he wanted thats all we can ask for as supporters. To be honest he is a player who has passed me by throughout his career, his teams usually have other superstars that draw the attention.

On closer inspection of him since we were interested (think I said a while back hes always struck me as a nothing player) he looks like a real class act actually.

Described as an absolute professional and sensational person by Hansi Flick which is a pretty decent reference from his old manager.

Once again if Klopp wants a player FSG keep backing him and getting him. Fans just don't like and/or understand that getting a player is not as easy as it is in their game console.

So it was the German media that were bang on, for weeks they’ve been saying we want him  whilst the English media said the opposite. Just again shows the English media know sod all about any dealings we are involved in.

Massive signing and the quality we should be looking to bring in now we are at the top.

I didn’t expect the move to happen and said so from the start so I’m relieved to have been wrong.


I hope Robbo doesn’t play poker.

Robbo lying through his teeth 🤣🤣🤣

So I said I was wrong already.

But I'm still not going to conclude a transfer rumour is happening because Al from Swindon says on Twitter that his best mate's cousin's wife heard from the cashier at the cleaners that somebody's agent was bragging at the races about a big deal in the works.

When it was done, somebody at the club got the likes of Pearce, Reddy, Bascombe, Joyce and Maddock together and gave them all the exact same information. THEN we knew.

Jürgen has continued to stress that there are other ways of improving a side other than signing people, and that this club isn't going to be over-recruiting. Then there is the narrative from some fans that we are less of a club because we aren't spending the way Chelsea and City do. I will continue to speak against that.

But I was wrong about us being in for Thiago. I've been wrong before. Most people have, some of us can admit it.

Wasn't aimed at anyone personally but to be honest think the rumours were coming from stronger sources than what you refer to

apperntly we only pay £5mill just now, rest of next few years. mike gordon strikes again.

Nothing unusual there really, most transfer fees are divided across the length of the contract. The only time it isn’t done that way is when activating a release clause because that has to be paid in full and usually via the player.

There is a combination of things that, when they happen, at the very least you could infer that there is serious interest.

Jürgen saying he liked him, Thiago ''saying to his teammates he would like to join LFC'' being considered a fact early on, when the rumour just sticks and won't go way. The biggest for me was how some of the guys we trust like Pearce, Joyce and Reddy never came out to rule it out even tho it was a story that made a lot of noise and wouldn't go away. These guys, usually, when a rumour starts to pick up too much traction and is indeed fake, will come out and obliterate it early on. In this case they were pretty quiet which indicated that at the very least the interest was real. I think Pearce even said a couple of times we were interested but that it was only the finances that were in the way (on the Red Agenda podcast).

I think at some point during the summer it had become clear that we were interested and money was the only obstacle. Let's see if in the next hours/days we hear news of departures or if the management somehow made a u-turn on our policy for the summer. 

World class recruitment like usual

Actually starting to wonder if the finances were as much of an issue as some of us (me included) made them out to be or if that's just the club negotiating through the media. Either way, hoping that there's no traction to Brewster leaving because that could ring the bell of "sell to buy" as I see no reason to sell Brewster at this point unless it's to raise money.

I wonder too. We'll see how it goes in the next few days. I reckon we are still going to sell some guys like Wilson, Grujic, Karius, etc.

 Some stories starting to emerge about us enquiring and considering a move for Sarr, but no official bid or discussions with Watford yet. (Dominic King).

It does give me a suspicious feeling we are about to see a departure. I guess we will find out soon enough but to me it would be a very bizarre decision to actually sell Brewster rather than loan him out.

Thiago is a super player, would be absolutely delighted if we got him
If we got him, and Minamino and Keita really kick on, maybe we don't need another attacker.
Still think though at CB maybe could be doing with someone, though maybe Jürgen is thinking if came to it Fab would be OK there for a while.
And would ideally keep Brewster, though a signing probably means Wilson and Grujic will be on their way.

Need the defence to get its ar*e in gear! Attack is sorted.

F***ing hell, who released you from current affairs

Back up centre-back coming in or Fab covering, I think we're sorted as far as squad numbers go.

Delighted with this. It really gives us more options in terms of formation and like many on here playing 4:2:3:1 looks like something we can deploy to great effect now. Buzzin☺️

Can’t wait for the announcement

You forgot you’re ‘g’ mate 🤪

Your* 😉

Great player. Energetic and reliable.

See I'm not that bothered about sell to buy if it's done correctly and benefits us and helps grow for the future.

I personally wouldn't sell Rhian but Jürgen sees him everyday and it could be even though he's a talent he just doesn't see a fit.

If that money helps buy Thiago or even Start then I don't have an issue.

Develop a talent to sell on at huge profit to grow the squad makes a lot of sense.

as I see no reason to sell Brewster at this point unless it's to raise money.

Unless he decided he wanted to go to get a regular start!t

If we got him, and Minamino and Keita really kick on, maybe we don't need another attacker

Seems that Klopp thinks we do if the stories of him wanting Werner, and that deal being as close as it was meant to be to happening before COVID-19 struck are to be believed.

Massive signing this. Clearly Jürgen's number one target this summer and it looks like we've finally got it done (with the Brewster cash I suspect).

Can't really be arsed to speculate on who might be leaving in that midfield, just happy we've added a world class player who offers us something different in there.

So it was the German media that were bang on, for weeks they’ve been saying we want him  whilst the English media said the opposite. Just again shows the English media know sod all about any dealings we are involved in.

He makes a very good allusion, that some people seem to get more excited about a transfer or even a potential transfer than they do about the team performing so well that they practically win the league by Christmas-time. Odd, that.
