Coutinho’s replacement...

[Guest Pistonbroke]

The amount of the operation sounds high - worried

 

Aye, that's nine 6 million dollar men and a million over for spares. 

[A_S]

Coutinho, Sturridge, Markovic, Mignolet, Ings out for VVD, Mahrez and Keita.

 

2 x 1st XI + 3 × Squad players out for 3 x 1st XI in.

 

Difference in wages between those groups would be negligible.

Reports in France have linked Liverpool with a move for Leicester City’s Riyad Mahrez, but this has been strongly rejected by senior sources at Anfield who say they have no interest in the Algerian international.

If we sign Mahrez I hope City fans take the piss out of the price etc, he'd be quids in to get a late winner from a free kick.

We would need a new keeper though?

Makes me wonder why Barcelona didn't just go for Mahrez then?

[chrisbonnie]

I'd take a top quality goalkeeper over a direct attacking play maker.

 

But if klopp thinks mahrez is the man, then so be it. I trust the men 100%.

MONEYBALLIN"!

Mahrez is Mingolet's replacement.

I think they play in different positions to be fair. Buying Mahrez isn’t a replacement for Coutinho in terms of his position, we’re just trying to replace his goals in effect.

 

I’m wondering if we might be talking to Özil.

 

He’s a replacement in terms of position, and not only is he German but he’s out of contract in 6 months time.

[TheHowieLama]

And he wants to be one of the highest paid players in the game - if we are talking to him we are asking him for Draxler's cell number.

Would the team suffer replacing Mignolet with Karius in the short term? I'm going on the idea that Mignolet has run his course at Anfield, given the number of chances he's had.

 

On top of that, the big transfers in those I mentioned are done. Move on a few fringe players who are little to no use currently and look at the best XI there:

 

Karius

 

Gomez Matip VVD Robertson

 

Keita AOC Mahrez

 

Mane Firmino

 

 

Long story short, can the Coutinho sale bs made to advantage Liverpool? Possibly.

 

I'm not disagreeing about the keeper situation btw, but I don't think Karius has been as bad as some who marked his card early in his Anfield career.

Fuck, when did Salah leave. 

[Ronnie Whelan]

I like Mahrez. Very good player.

 

As already has been said,Coutinho is not replaceable directly as he would be a candidate for a world eleven,while Mahrez is nowhere near that level.

 

However,if we brought in Mahrez and a top goalie or centre back to go with vvd,then that's a great spine to hopefully get top 4 and have a few months playing together before next season.

 

I hate that we've become such a selling club but the reality is that until we become a bona fida champions league club again year on year and start winning trophies again,we will lose players of Phil's level. City and Chelsea seem to keep their top players. If we can become like that in 2-3 years time,then i'd be happy.

[Anubis]

Sky saying we aren't interested in Mahrez.

[TheHowieLama]

Fuck, when did Salah leave. 

 

Yeah - we would look better if lined up with 11 tbh

We like to do things the hard way.

Haha bastard phone!

 

I'm going with that as my story anyway...

 

Yes, Mo would probably squeeze into that first XI

[Gym Beglin]

Get Jack Grealish in, little English wizard.

[Denny Crane]

RedSox fans seem happy with the Coutinho money...
