January 2017 transfer window

[TheHowieLama]

Looks like Spunkmouse posted it after his Christmas kick up.

Draxler has gone off the boil a bit but you get the sense there's much more to come from him. I'd be happy if we signed him.

Yeah, but he's one of those players who has been touted as a future world-class player since he was about 18, yet he's now 23 and he's got no goals or assists this season. He hasn't improved at all since he was a teenager and he's now banned from the Wolfsburg squad because his attitude stinks. He's like Gotze, a myth of a player who casual fans cling onto because of his "potential". 

 

Klopp could probably get in his ear and get a lot out of him because that's what he does and Draxler is very talented, but I think it's a risk and one we probably wouldn't take considering his current production and what his asking price would be.

Didn't really understand the Hernandez links ( the ex-Utd one ) as he seems the antithesis of a Klopp striker.

Whenever ive seen him he runs his arse off and closes down well

Bit like the hype surrounding joaquin back in the rafa days who eventually turned out to be shit

I'll have to watch him more closely your grace. My impression of him at Utd was a great finisher who made intelligent runs off the last man & found space in the box , but pretty lazy otherwise.

[Anubis]

There's a £25m centre back in Sakho....

Was he getting bummed by Piqué when you wrote that?

[Guest LFD]

Klopp clearly wants Sturridge out.

 

[Arl arse]

Hahaha Sturridge looks like a walker from the walking dead there.

[Unrighteous]

Sturridge looks high as giraffe pussy, there.

[El Rojo]

We better have a couple of players ready to come in. Effectively, we didn't have a bench today.

and our only player that looked like he could get something out of this was Mane. and he will off to africa for a month.

 

spend big in january or we're screwed.

[aRdja]

A competent goalkeeper is imperative. Heaton or Hart please. Let Karius learn his trade with the U23s until he's ready or sell him in the summer if he doesn't improve.

[Grinch]

Owners say no and laugh all the way to the bank.

[The Golden Eel]

We won't be signing a keeper.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

It's quite the joke that we had a positive net spend in the summer and most probably won't spend in the winter despite literally having no senior attacker on the bench today.

 

In fact, it's more likely we will sell Sakho and Sturridge*, two arguably world class players and not replace them.

 

*im really not surprised he has downed tools, given he was completely frozen out the squad all year despite being completely fit since February. He's not blameless, but Klopps handling of him was awful.

Couldn't be more wrong on everything you said.

 

Firstly, there is no way we don't buy at least an attacker in January.

 

Secondly, Sakho and Sturridge aren't even arguably among the top 3-5 players in their respective positions in the league, let alone world-class.

 

Thirdly, we have been better with Firmino up top than with Sturridge. Should Klopp just start him so as to not hurt his feelings too much?

1 - pardon me if I don't have confidence in my club buying players when it needs to. May have something to do with the fact that we regularly haven't done this for years.

 

2 - world class doesn't necessitate top 5. They are both very capable players - the former captained PSG at a young age and the latter nearly fired us to a title (and is IMO in the top three strikers in the league).

 

3 - when you are 3-0 up, and you leave sturridge on the bench until the 85th minute, you're taking the fucking piss. When you constantly bring on Origi, who frankly is shit tinted with mediocre, as opposed to Sturridge, you're taking the piss. I have no qualms with us making Sturridge force his way into the side, but he was totally frozen out and not given any minutes...even when we were comfortably leading games.

There is no point debating how good Sturridge is because he hardly ever plays. You are lucky if he plays more than half a season and even when he does play he needs to be eased back in to stop him getting injured and being our for longer.

Exactly, his head is elsewhere and has been for some time. I only hope that some daft fucker believes shelling out 15-20 million on him is a good idea. He can fuck off.

Sturridge can fuck off as far as I'm concerned.

 

Take the money and run.

[Harry Squatter]

Let's just hope West ham give us 20m for us. We need to get them back after today.

[3 Stacks]

If West Ham bought Sturridge, Lovren and Mignolet off us, I'd adopt them as my second team, then I'd kill myself to avoid having to watch any of those cunts play football ever again.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Fingers crossed.
