GO BIG OR GO HOME

[mouse1989]

Pulisic

Brandt

Dahoud

Van Dijk

A competent goalie

A left back (Chilwell?)

A striker

 

The first two targets because it makes sense to continue pursuing our winter targets. Dahoud because he'd instantly be our best midfielder. Van Dijk because he's easily the best CB in the league. A goalie because the last one we bought isn't good enough to replace mediocre Mignolet. A young competent left back because we need to be able to rest Milner. A striker if Klopp doesn't rate either Sturridge or Origi, as Firmino is nowhere near prolific enough to start as our striker.

Interested to know how you've come to the conclusion that Dahoud would be our best player? Curious to know how many times you've seen him play? What's his best attributes?

The above post reads like a test to me, but I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt this time. Other than Lallana, he'd be our only midfielder who'd take the ball side on, as opposed to facing the passer.. that allows him to turn away as opposed to limit his passing options. He's a perceptive passer and a willing runner. From the videos of him that I've seen, he could hit the ball too. First time i noticed him was last year, Gladbach against Schalke... I turned it on to watch Matip and Xhaka (whom we were linked with), but Dahoud caught my eye. I've seen most of his appearances in the CL since, and a few Bundesliga games last season if I recall correctly. What are your thoughts on him?

[TheHowieLama]

He's shite.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

We fell off but are straight back in the saddle!

 

Lets go- Dahaoud, Pulisic, Tah, FSG.........., think thats it isnt it? , 

3 out of those 4 will do.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

The Pulisic and Van Dijk ship has sailed. A competent keeper is an absolute must, whatever the price, imperative. A left back or at the very least better cover for Milner than Milo Yiannopoulos. A centre half as good as us as close as ability wise to Matip. A midfielder capable of shielding the defence, a midfielder who can see a pass. Cover for Mane or to play with. A striker who can run and score regularly. Regularly applies to the running as well.

 

Get rid of one of Mignolet/Karius, Sakho,Moreno,Can, Sturridge, Ings, Markovic.

And others, Manninger Bogdan, Wisdom etc.

 

I use the word competent as it does not seem hard for most of the PL to have aa competent keeper etc.

[RazorBack]

Ricardo Rodriguez, forgot all about him. If we are talking keepers - Benaglio or Sommer? Also PSG just loned Sirigu to Osasuna, he used to be good. How is he these days?

Fucking Meat Loaf there.

[El Dangerous]

We'll go for Tah and end up with Keane.

We'll go for Kolasanic and end up with Bertrand.

Well go for Dahoud and he'll end up being the new Joe Allen.

We'll baulk at the £25m asking price slapped on the heads of Brandt and Pulisic and spend £30m on Redmond.

We'll want a boss striker but won't be able to bring one in until we shift Sturridge who will be unflushable until we loan him out and pay 70% of his wages on deadline day.

We'll give Lucas a 5 year contract.

 

We will however sign Coric and turn him in to an excellent player but we'll sell Coutinho the year after.

So you dont have faith in Klopp?

You've obviously never watched Tah. I'd say Michael Keane is actually better than him. Also, Bertrand isn't a bad player at all and if Dahoud ever reaches the level of 2016 Uefa team of the season midfield nominee Joe Allen, then we'd be in luck.

Completely. It's the recruitment team I'm dubious about.

 

As long as we don't sign turd like Ben Arfa though....

[Cardie]

Although I'd rather we signed Leipzig's scouts and director of football.

 

Problem with that (much like the calls for Monchi) is it's more than just signing the players (or the people who buy the players), it's about the process, it's about the environment and, importantly, it's about the supporters.

 

The reason you get these smaller clubs doing so well and seemingly hitting on a large number of transfers is the relative lack of pressure, lack of expectation and patience.

 

It's easy to say we should have signed, for example, Timo Werner and Emil Forsberg based on what they've done for Leipzig, it's a much harder sell to say we should buy a left sided player from the Swedish league and a young striker who scored 14 goals in 100 odd games from a recently relegated team.

[Strontium]

Stop worrying everyone, I am sure we will make a profit. You guys!

[Cardie]

“There’s only one person that has the final say over what players [we sign] at Liverpool Football Club and that’s Jurgen Klopp right now,”

 

[Red74]

Bertrand would be good for us. I'd be happy with him for our left side

[Strontium]

It's going to be a big ask topping the last window, jettisoning our best centre half without receiving a fee, especially without the talents of Ian Ayre, but I'm confident the boys can do it.

[jimmycase]

Matip, our best CB is still at the club and gone nowhere.

[suzy]

We have just had a whole months rest.....

 

Haha good point! This thread already looks like the old one - sigh!

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Another good game for Maguire tonight, by all accounts.

 

Was meant to be solid on defence and brought the ball out well from the back, which is something I've noticed him doing in a few other games.

[Paco]

Aubameyang and the closest thing to Kante.

[thompsonsnose]

I simply do not care.

Prepare my carriage...

[andyj]

fuck me sideways !!!  this will be 300 pages long before the window opens 

[aRdja]

Brandt, Naby Keita and.....don't moan.....Harry Maguire.

 

Plus, a striker.

Good call re Maguire... looked fantastic last night.
