Great price that

Klopp is still hoping to plunder his Germany connections by persuading... Mahmoud Dahoud to join from Borussia Monchengladbach. Dahoud is Liverpool’s first choice to boost their midfield, ahead of Poland international Piotr Zielinski.

 

Looks like there's been a change of heart there...

Klopp is still hoping to plunder his Germany connections by persuading Mario Gotze to move to Anfield from Bayern Munich and also Mahmoud Dahoud to join from Borussia Monchengladbach. Dahoud is Liverpool’s first choice to boost their midfield, ahead of Poland international Piotr Zielinski.

 

 

 

Do it,Do it now

 

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

4.7m seems like a bit of a bargain if he's as good as people are saying. I've seen matches he played in but I rarely notice keepers to be honest.

It's two Brad Joneses...

[Russ Atmosphere]

Looks talented does Dahoud. 

 

I'd seen before that Zielinski wants to play more in attacking midfield.

[Red House]

Neil Jones reporting the Dahoud interest in the echo as well. I like that, even though it remains to be seen whether he'll be let go of in the first place given Gladbach has just sold Xhaka.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is keen to add further to his squad in the coming weeks. Bayern Munich star Mario Gotze is a target, as is Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Mahmoud Dahoud.

Leicester full back Ben Chilwell is also on the club's radar.

[El Dangerous]

Karius, Dahoud and Gotze, stop all this nonsense at once.

[JagSquared]

I bet the Gotze deal is done and dusted (Personal terms, anyway), and we're just needing to offer Bayern the right amount.

That's a shame.

 

I never wanted him anyway.

[aRdja]

Woweeee.. I'd be over the moon if we sign Dahoud.

[Kevin D]

So, Skrtel has said he wants to leave apparently, apologies if already mentioned.

Not really sure what this has to do with JermainePennant?

[Ne Moe Imya]

Looks like there's been a change of heart there...

 

I'm happy to see it.

 

I haven't ever seen Zielinski play, and like I said a few days ago if there's one manager in world football who has the right to take a punt on an unheralded Pole then it's definitely Klopp, but I just don't see why we'd pursue another young attacking midfielder who can play wide.  It's the one position we're absolutely stocked in, especially if Gotze comes.

 

So maybe Klopp sees something in Zielinski that he thinks he can mould him into a better CM than what we have already in Henderson and Milner, and if so then I'm all for it.  But Dahoud is already that player, you watch Monchengladbach and their midfield just immediately stands out.  Part of that is how good Xhaka is, but another part of it is Dahoud, he catches the eye immediately.  

 

If we can't have Weigl, who would be my personal favourite of all the young Bundesliga midfielders we could go after, then Dahoud is a great fallback.  Going to be a top player, has a great first touch and though he doesn't do anything spectacular the team always seems to be better off after he's had it than they were before.  Kind of like Allen at his best in that way, or maybe Alonso, which is pretty high praise for a 20-year old.  I could see him fitting in very well alongside Can.

[Dave D]

Karius and Matip straight in the team already gives us a lift.

 

Height, attacking set pieces at (both ends with Matip) and both are meant to be quite vocal.

 

Leaders if you will.

 

General Klopp adding some steel to the lightweight shirkers he inherited I hope   

[El Dangerous]

Would Dahoud be our version of Gundogan then? I was sure we'd go for a big unit to sure up the middle but it seems Grujic and Can will do that job. I think like Rodgers Klopp values intelligent midfielders over physically imposing ones but unlike Rodgers Klopp knows how to use them properly.

[Jairzinho]

Not seen much of this Dahoud fella. Is he good enough to be Danny Drinkwater's understudy?

[Tarwater]

I bet the Gotze deal is done and dusted (Personal terms, anyway), and we're just needing to offer Bayern the right amount.

Goetze and his agent has just parted ways, so this may be dusted, but hardly done.

[bonesman]

He has been a good servant but he is well past his best. Wish him all the best.

 

+1

[aRdja]

I've seen Gladback play twice this season, Dahoud always stood out. Clever player, energetic but on the skinny side.

[aRdja]

 

Oh well... Source is Bild by the way.

[Lee909]

As much as id have liked him im not overly arsed. Especially if it means we get somebody that can provide some genuine width

[aRdja]

For the German speakers.

Apparently Xhaka has a release clause that kicks in next year, so he was the more likely to be sold.

[Crazy Dave]

Concerning quotes from Gotze, for sure. 

 

I wonder if he's decided to sit it out and wait for the Bosman next year. 

[Frankenhooker]

Gotze sacking his agent is a bigger sign that he's staying put. Apparently he was the one pushing for a move and the Bayern hierarchy don't think much of him.

[Boss]

He's fired his agent that was pushing for a move to us apparently. Looks like we've lost out on that one.
