Summer 2017 Transfer Thread

[Kevin D]

He's comical ali. I'm sure he reported what he was given in good faith too.

Well, when side A is briefing you and side B doesn't know enough to know that there is a PR battle going on, the reporting is going to reflect that.

[Barrington Womble]

Phil wouldn't have won us today's game a decent defender may have

I don't know how you can say that. We were 1 goal from winning and Coutinho is a better player than henderson, can and Wijnaldum. Of course some decent defending would have helped (I'm not sure one single defender fixes all ills), but I can't see how you can dismiss the contribution Coutinho can bring, especially with one of the poorest midfield displays since basel.

[SammyAftershave]

I've always wondered what Hendo said to Ross the Boss. 

 

Turns out it was, "You're option B if Keita isn't available you fucking cuntrag." 

 

 

 

 

Our granite hardened skipper appears to have shit himself.....No surprises there then.

Comical ali.

Fair play but the piss poor midfield scored 3 goals the piss poor defending conceded 3;goals

So don't get me wrong, we need to defend better. Selling our best player doesn't fix those problems though.

[3 Stacks]

Why didn't we sign Pickford? An actual good shot-stopper with athleticism and brilliant distribution. 

[3 Stacks]

Also, Spurs seem like they're about to sign Davinson Sanchez. How is he not a CB target of ours? His potential is extremely high.

Wind it in, we have Klavan. Any signature aside from VVD would only be an incremental improvement.

[Harry Squatter]

He was the only bright spot of that Europa League final. Bit rash but an absolute beast and won't get bullied by some of the yard dogs in this league. I think Spurs are paying 35m.

[Harry Squatter]

I don't know why Klopp and Rodgers are/were against using a proper defensive midfielder when we have persistently conceded goals under both. We also can't keep hold of the ball long enough and even when we are in the lead we invite pressure back onto us.

 

Even when we went 3-2 up we still had enough time to invite them back into the game.

[an tha]

They all play for Southampton. They have the exclusive rights on tall defenders. To compensate, today in injury time we brought on a boy, who was tall. He gave away a stupid foul, as boys do being played out of position, and that pressure led to their equaliser. 2 points dropped. But don't worry everyone, it's a fine squad and only Southampton have keys to solve out problems.

Fucking dead on and all the fucking apologists for the shambles that is our defence both how it is set up and the personnel that make it up need to wake up and get a fucking grip...

None more so than Jurgen Klopp

[cloggypop]

He's good. Could turn out to be very good indeed.

[LFC 6 Times]

Coutinho would have made a huge difference today, fucking wijnaldum and Henderson treating the ball like a fucking grenade, he would of walked through that Watford midfield not to mention the chances he would of created for Mane and salah.

[an tha]

He's good. Could turn out to be very good indeed.

He can't be - there is literally only VVD in the whole world who is any good at centre half....aside from of course our world beating options there.

[Ronnie Whelan]

Yeah with phil it would have been 6-3.

[Red House]

“As a manager of a football club, I have bosses. That decide, for example, just in general, if we sell a player or we don't sell him. Then I have to accept it.

“If they don't sell him, then I am not involved any more. I'm responsible for all of our players, not just one or two or three, but all of them.

“I can't say anything about it, the only thing is I work with the players I have. That's what I'm always doing.

“How can it change something for me? I didn't make the decision.

“You have to ask the club. I didn't see the club insiders today. You have to ask them.

“I don't think (it changes anything). It was pretty clear what the club said about it. That's all.”


 

So, whatever happened to Klopp having the last word on transfers? Also got to love how the offal reports the whole post-match conference except for that bit above. Cunts.

Rather see him take Pochettino's/Rafa's approach and use two. The play moves so quickly in that area that one isn't enough, even if it was someone like Casemiro or Kante.

I think it was Ranieri who answered when asked about formations that they played three in midfield; Drinkwater in the centre and Kanté left and right.

Some people will still say he has the final word on in and outs.

[Iceman]

And there you have it straight from the KloppLord. FSG are stifling his time here with their disgusting leeching. Sincerely, fuck you John. 

[Guest]

Some people will still say he has the final word on in and outs.

He does. The final word is "No". Or perhaps it's "OK" when they say "No".

[Numero Veinticinco]

FSG have the final say. It's obvious. Owners always do. If they want to interject, they can do at any point. 

[Thoth]

How long before Klopp follows Phil out the door

[Grinch]

How long before Klopp follows Phil out the door

 

less than 12 months.  The fanbase will be stupid enough to blame him for this season which is almost certainly going to be a downer.

 

The harder question would be who are going to appoint & blame next?
