January 2018 Transfer Thread

[3 Stacks]

It’s beyond belief that apparently there are no better keepers out there available in January than fucking Bodger and Badger

 

Why would anyone sell us a good keeper in January? There are two viable ones per squad. No one's gonna handicap themselves like that.

They would for money.

Yeah true, I mean no clubs sell their most important players in Ja...... oh!

Lovren has proven his Lovrenitis. I wouldn't trust him as a starter for any string of multiple games.

All defenders are capable of making costly mistakes. I’ve used Vidic as an example enough times here. He got destroyed time and again against us. Got sent off twice. Yet at the time he was the best defender in the world. Lovren isn’t near as good a defender asVidic was, but he’s a good enough defender. He’s proactive and aggressive.

You don't get it. That's not at all relevant to the keeper position. Like I said, clubs use two keepers. They aren't going to sell us one of them in the middle of the season. I'd be surprised if any big keeper transfer has ever been made in the month of January.

...and his Lovrenitis costs us games.  I'd call him a failed experiment.

Officially he’s only made one “error leading to goal” this season.

Yea, because your eyes and brain don't contradict that.

Bar the Spurs game, he’s been good this season.

"Liverpool are unlikely to make further signings in this transfer window because Jurgen Klopp believes that his squad is strong enough to negotiate the final months of the campaign" - Paul Joyce

 

You have to admire his self belief but it is a big gamble IMO.

[BCM]

Does this include the Coutinho, VVD and Keita deals?

 

As a general comment besides that, there should be no reason why we can’t compete with anyone, Manchester clubs aside, especially since Abramovich seems to be tightening the purse strings a bit.

 

It won't include Keita because we have not bought him yet

[cloggypop]

We have though. He's just not here yet.

[an tha]

We have though. He's just not here yet.

Let's hope there isn't a clause that the deal only gets done if we make CL.

 

I wouldn't put it past us to have agreed it but not mentioned it.

 

There is a clause I believe that we have to pay some more on top if they do.

[Allan]

Does Monaco signing Pietro Pellegri for 17 million mean they might be selling Lemar.. he is a striker so not sure

 

He'll be the replacement for Guido Carrillo who they sold to Southampton the other day.

yeah you do its a ballsy  move  but at the same i also refuse to believe that 1 player out the door changes a whole team  id rather we wait and get the right player rather than end up with another balotelli/aquilani situation where they just dont fit the type of player we need

I agree 1 player does not change team but there is an argument to say we are lacking in the middle and in attacking cover and the question is could/would an addition help us and be the difference between 4th and 5th or 6th in the league.

 

Of course the addition has to be the right one.

 

It is of course tricky it is of course all about opinion - time will tell if Klopp's decisions are the right ones I suppose.

Rudi Gestede could do a job, if Chelsea don't snap him up first.

"Negotiate the final months of the campaign",   what does that even mean....  Like saying we should have enough players to field a team every week......

[LFC 6 Times]

We're such fucking losers. The more I think about the Coutinho sale the angrier I become, aside from being our best player he made us tick. I genuinely feel like it's a wind up that we've sold him with no replacement. Why the fuck didn't we just agree a deal for a summer move to the dirty catalan nonces. Handicapping yourself as you go into the most important part of the season, no other club in the Champions League would be so incompetent.

Personally, I don't admire it at all. It's pure delusion. 

[Mr T]

He can kid himself but he shouldn't think he can kid the fans. His judgement is 100% wrong.

[G Richards]

When did Jurgen say that? (About the squad being strong enough to negotiate the final months of the season).

 

Was it after the Man City win?

Or after the poor loss to Swansea?

Or after getting knocked out of the FA Cup?

 

You would have to think that the two losses are at least making us check again to see if we can bring any of our targets in now.

[Yerse]

Most of the whoppers saying shit live in a different continent, so, you know.

If Klopp needed two losses on the bounce to see what the majority of us could see coming a mile off we have bigger problems.

[Boss]

If they seriously think the likes of David Luiz, Lucas Moura, Mateo Kovacic and Javier Pastore wouldn't improve us, then they are delusional.
