Klopp's response on why we didn't go for Aubameyang.

Yes, because we have world-class strikers coming out of our arse haven't we ?

[Lee909]

Don't believe this for one minute. Obviously doesn't want him at Liverpool for some reason.

Reading the book on Klopp you get the impression that in his last year at Dortmund alot of the players didn't fancy his needed work ethic after success and didn't put in the same shift. At least thats how it read to me. Dont think Klopp trusts him to do ehat Firmino does.

EXCLUSIVE: Mesut Ozil signs a new three-and-a-half year contract to remain at Arsenal until summer 2021. Becomes highest-paid player in club history on around £350k per week before tax. Deal agreed last weekend, signed at Colney this morning. Could take him to 8yrs at #AFC & 32yo

Hoffenheim midfielder Kerim Demirbay (24) is gathering interest from a lot of clubs around Europe, including Borrusia Dortmund, AC Milan, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Everton, Schalke & Liverpool, according to SportBild.

 

Seems legit.

[Evil_Ways]

Klopp didnt rule out any moves today on out part. Something about it being clear who was available. So who the fuck is he talking about

[johnsusername]

I've heard we're after Les Ferdinand from QPR. £6,000,000.  

[J-V]

Ozil signs a new contract at Arse.  Surprised by that.

[G Richards]

Aubameyang is a very good player but I trust Klopp. It would be unbecoming of him to say the whole truth in public, which I would imagine would be something like this: great player, fast, scores goals, work rate has dropped as profile has risen, can be a bit too full of himself which clashes with my ethic where the team is the star, etc.

 

We need more, no two ways about it, but if Aubameyang is not the one for Klopp he’s had years working with the player to form a qualified opinion.

Sneaky 30 million bid for Joaquin in the last hour.

Me too.

 

Surely having got to within 4 months of the end of his contract even a £200k increase in his weekly adds another £3m or so in that period , whereas he could write his own cheque as a free agent in June. (Unless he has been given a massive signing-on fee now ? )

[TheHowieLama]

They knew no one was going to come in for him at that wage -- 350k a week - for a 30 year old who doesn't play two ways half the time. 

 

He is perfect for them

My ITK says Simao is still sat in a private jet on the tarmac at Liverpool Airport. Now is the time.

Just seen David Villa in the Babelcopter.

That quote has been taken out of context. It was initially in response to a question about potential outgoings, to which he responded Ings is not for sale but it's clear who might be available. He was referring to Markovic.

Was amazed to see he was still playing when Betis were on Sky the other week. I'm sure at only 36 he could still do a job!

Unfortunately, Parry is still in Barbados with his phone off.

God damn blue noses working on the offal taking his words out of context. Cunts.

There was a brief glint in the eye of everybody’s favourite cheeky scamp but for once he kept a straight face. Joaquín Sánchez had been talking about how happy he was – and happiness, he said, is fundamental – leaving just enough time for one more question as he stood there, post-match microphone pointing his way. It began with “now you rest” and it was ended there with a shake of the head, cut off quickly. It was late and they were exhausted but he was having none of it; although midnight had come, the night had only just begun. “There will be no rest tonight,” Betis’s captain shot back, deadpan. “Anyone who gets home before five in the morning gets fined.” And with that, he was gone again. Back to the party.

It was Twelfth Night and, oh, what a night. No one has played more La Liga games this century than Joaquín, the man who won one of only three titles in the club’s history, posing with the Copa del Rey wearing nothing but a grin, yet even for him the 127th edition of the Seville derby, probably Spain’s most passionate, was very special, the best of the 17 he has played: a “magical day,” according to the cover of ABC, “ecstasy,” according to Diario de Sevilla.

 

 

What a fella. 

[SasaS]

Maybe he likes the signings they made

 

He does. Once he saw they offered 350k a week to their best player, he was very impressed with the ambition they were showing.

[John101]

I'll take an exciting youth player with a fancy name at this point.

[Pureblood]

I'm desperately hoping we don't sign anyone because I predicted we wouldn't.  My street cred is on the line.

I’d take a signed postcard of Lee Cattermole at this stage.
