Ousmane Dembele is a good player. However, they paid £100m for him, which is ridiculously overpriced.   And as for them "trying as hard as they could," isn't that what we're doing? Trying as hard as

From what I've seen Messi and Suarez are unselfish players only too happy to set up a teammate instead of going for glory themselves, whereas Neymar is a ball-hogging greedy prick.

If we "wait for the summer" to replace him as I suspect will happen we'll have sold him to pay for VVD and Keita, plain and simple. It already doesn't make any sense but it seems slightly logical in this light, albeit infuriating.

 

I think we've been sold up the river in terms of Liverpool no longer being a "sell to buy" club. Maybe even the manager's been taken in. They seem to just cover it up with a mountain of PR bullshit, but sooner or later shits gonna hit the fan.

This from last year from one of Klopps bosses, Mike Gordon.

 

Speaking about last January, Gordon said: “I would regret it if we hadn’t tried to bring in additional players. But we clearly did try.

“The availability of players in the January window is continuing to diminish, it’s now an anomaly if you’re able to do something....

“But showing discipline (in the transfer market) and staying true to your principles is really important, and that’s one of the reasons we didn’t add to the squad. We tried. And the same goes for all windows.

 

“We look for any advantage and opportunity to improve.

i think the best we can hope for is Keita comes early. I think the most likely outcome is no signings at all in Jan, hence the block on Woodburn being loaned out.

 

I hope I'm wrong.

 

Yeah, I think with both Pearce and Joyce briefing that Klopp is prepared to wait to get his targets, it sounds ominous for any January reinforcements.

Leipzig are not open to letting Naby Keita leave during this window. Europa League challenges and a quest for Champions League qualification through the #Bundesliga far outweigh the departure of any key player in January. #RBL

 

So Keita seems a very long shot too.

Could we try and get Leipzig board in next summer? They sound like the business.

Sensible, shame Liverpool didn't have the same level of ambition.

Liverpool refuse to countenance any offer for Phillippe Coutinho this window as it would be completely fucking insane and jeopardize both our CL chances and possible top 4 position in the league cos we won't buy any other fucker to replace him. #batshitfuckingnuts

Keita isn't coming early. Mertens and Insigne wouldn't move whilst the Scudetto is in the balance. Oblak and Alisson aren't going to move whilst their teams need them to qualify for the Champions League. Lemar isn't moving for the same reason.

You don't sell your best players mid-season. It's fucking ridiculously simple. A deal for Coutinho to go in the summer would have been fine but FSG bent over, took it up the arse and gleefully accepted their money.

 

Utterly incompetent as we won't be replacing him.

Teams who care about winning things don't sell their best players midseason.

It is so utterly incompetent and negligent that I just could not bring myself to believe that we sold him without having something else sorted. 

 

As soon as we agreed to the sale I though 'Ah, guess that means we've sorted a replacement then'...

 

But every noise coming out of the club since then is that we haven't and we're content not to. It's beyond stupidity, it's just totally unfathomable.
