Transfers summer 2016

[Harry Squatter]

Where's the Sideshow Bob money Roman? ?????

[cloggypop]

To be fair, it's a lot less than he normally goes for.

[sir roger]

Matip, Lovren, Klavan, Gomez - seems close to the bone, but will probably be enough. We also have the option of putting a midfielder back there, like Lucas, if it all goes pear shaped on injuries. 

 

Earlier in the thread someone was making a good point about the progress made in the "out" column this summer. I think that will be important for our future prospects. I see Klopp shifting loads out, bringing a few in and right-sizing the squad; and then as we move forward the additions will be more targeted at specific needs. 

 

I see two big signings for January/next summer - striker and midfielder. 

 

We can't do everything at once, but we have done a lot this summer. 

 

I hope you are right, Rev.  I have been hearing this ' jam tomorrow ' stuff for a long time now. Have we basically written off another season already ?

[Anubis]

To be fair to the club, we cant carry players who arent in the squad and have no real chance of playing.

 

On the plus side, it does give Klopp a free hand so to speak to bring in more quality players next summer window if we do qualify for Europe, even if it is only the Europa League.

 

Said it before, it'll take him a couple of summer windows to have his real team and squad.

[sir roger]

I hope you are right Jimmy, but I can't just accept that ridiculously poor decisions being made at the moment will suddenly all be put right at a given point in the future.

 

My old dad always said that managers overcomplicate things , usually to stroke their egos. Good players, in their correct positions in a good tactical set up with adequate specialist back up should be the basics.

 

If Sakho goes we will be 2 injuries away from a backline of Clyne, Klavan, Lucas, Milner.

Pretty much all football is now. Somewhere for rich Chinese/Saudi/Russian/Americans to wash their money.

I do agree with that I just would be a bit happier with a new LB! But I think we all would.

This is the worry. I don't want to be saying in November "roll on August"!

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Our back line needed strengthening.  We replaced Skrtel with Matip and Toure with Klavan.  So far, so sensible.

 

Have any of us ever seen Gomez at centre back?  I was happy enough with him at left back last season and I'd like to see him there, putting pressure on Moreno.  I'd go so far as to say that Milner and Gomez would offer us enough options at left back, for the time being - as long as we don't go and do something really stupid, like needlessly weakening our centre-back options.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Conte used to play 352 at Juventus. Luiz would be a monster as the ball playing cb in a 3 man defence. Alonso played in a 3 man backline at Fiorentina as a wingback. Kinda points in that direction. If it is true.

 

David Luiz a monster ?! Yeh, in the same way that  Jimmy Savile was a monster.

 

Luiz is a nonce-ster, that's about it, the curly haired tit.

[Denny Crane]

Luiz could solve our problems. Can play CB DM and fullback.

 

We could even lose Sakho in the deal back to his hometown.

 

He also is a winner European Cup, League titles many big European games.

 

I reckon a cultured man like Klopp would love him.

[TheHowieLama]

Sakho plus 15 mil for Luiz. Mmmm...

 

[thompsonsnose]

Luis IN FRONT OF the back 4, would be rather fucking ace.

Rafa knew.

He is a WINNER!

Luiz is going to Chelsea to compete for the league.  Really doesn't matter what we think of him as a defender for one things for sure, he's not signing ahead for us ahead of them, he'd prob laugh at the notion.

 

Yet again, we're back pretending that next summer we're set to just add quality.  I've heard this every bloody summer under FSG, it's like groundhog day, that magical summer window never comes & never will under owners that refuse to pay the going rate to top class players, unless they're resigning at the club with one eye on a move to Barca.

 

The squads so weak now if we qualified for the Europa we're going to need about eight players in again, it's nowhere near a squad that just needs to add one or two top players.

Bit harsh on Jimmy Saville, don't you thnk?

Where is the list of elite clubs queuing up to buy our "World Class" centre back, Sakho?

[3 Stacks]

Where is the list of elite clubs queuing up to buy our "World Class" centre back, Sakho?

 

1. No one genuinely believes Sakho is "world class". He is however unquestionably talented.

 

2. No big club is desperate enough to buy a currently unfit centre back and no big club would do us the favour of getting him fit by loaning him and playing him over their regular centre backs.

 

3. I'm not sure why you'd sneer at the people who rate Sakho when you rate players like Skrtel, Henderson and Lucas highly.

[therevivalist]

Some people on here seem to have abandoned their rationale faculties or were born with none in the first place. That Klopp needs a couple more windows to fully establish his team is never in dispute. The additions he made in this window in the likes of Matip, Gruic and Mane are commendable. Those players will go a long way to constitute the core of his squad.

 

But that core is not complete without the addition of the left back (and preferably a controlling midfielder) at a minimum. Some would say even a reliable striker. The time for Klopp to lay down the backbone is now,  this window and not the next three windows. The coming few windows will provide the opportunity to flesh out core.

 

We have a pretty decent squad, which as things stand, would enable us finish no hire than 6th/7th at best. Whereas the addition of those three positions would be the difference between finishing top four and somewhere mid-table.

Letting Sakho makes no sense, I get that Klopp wants to instill a working environment and team  where he's the boss and everyone respects that but he should put his differences aside with Sakho who's a very talented and experienced player and would be a very good option to have this season.

[Boss]

Wilshire looks like he's off to Crystal Palace on loan.

Great football managers in most cases aren't very good at putting differences aside.
