I’m not arsed about the spitting. Yes it’s a vile thing to do, but it was when Rijkaard famously did it and he’s one of my all time favourite players. Suarez was a bitey shithouse as well but he was loved. 
 

If he comes I’m confident Klopp will knock it into him what’s expected here. 

He could have jizzed on the guy and we'd still love him if he's any good.

I couldn’t care less what he’s done at another club, only thing that bothers me is what he’s like here. These things about people’s personalities are frequently wrong anyway, when we were signing Keita people were saying he was a lunatic who took one of his own teammates out in training and we’ve seen how that turned out.

That would’ve made me love him even more.

Liverpool fans annoyed about Davies and Kabak. 

[Ronnie Whelan]

Wonder will Kabak be Team Sadio or Team Mo?

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Kabak is not so much an accident waiting to happen as a full on pile-up.

If we're buying him, it's for his traits, not for his play at Schalke, clearly. Because yeah, that part of it is undeniably shaky. 

[El Dangerous]

We’ve been playing Rhys Williams and Oil Tanker Phillips as part of a makeshift defence for months and teams are still too scared to try and expose them. We’ve won the league with Lovren. If Kabak is at least decent enough to cunt players like Callum Wilson in the cunt whilst allowing some midfielders to play in midfield then he’ll be a worthy addition.

He is 20 and there can be a top player there. Maybe playing under and being helped by Jurgen could bring it out.

My extremely premature view on all of this, is that we are looking long term.

 

I think we want Upamecano in the summer (when his £40m clause kicks in). We know that Matip and Gomez aren’t reliable so rather than have 4 CB’s we’re looking to have 5; there’s also a possibility we’ll sell Gomez I think.

 

VVD

Upamecano

Kabak

Gomes/Davies/Phillips/Williams (delete where appropriate via sales etc).

I think Gomez is likely to go based on his high resale capability.  Like it or not, there will definitely be a need to raise sales to pay for new signings, especially in the short term. 

 

I don't see Upamacano happening, and besides which I think Konate is the better player at Leipzig. 

 

Relegation will have an effect, eg, the likes of James Tarkowski, Ben White, even Jack O'Connell.  We have a fair few Championship level swaps to offer.

I think he'll be a lot like Lovren. He dives in a hell of a lot and wants to basically break every attacker in half with each tackle. Seems pretty rash. He is young though so maybe we can coach that out of him?

He's a bruiser type defender, looks quick once he gets going but not that fast in the initial first 5 yards. 

[sir roger]

Nike have added a spit hood with an LFC logo to the range , so looks like Kabak.

[suzy]

I can’t see this Schalke bloke being too nasty - Klopp doesn’t go for those types. It’s all very intriguing though.

Yeah the main thing I’ve taken away from his highlight reel is that he loves to go to ground. That used to fuck me right off with Mr Machismo Lovren. First port of call will be getting him to pressure players in to making mistakes so we can nick the ball instead of trying to split them in half. It is good to have that option though for the ale house teams you don’t have to worry about attacking us.

[YorkshireRed]

If this Kabak kid comes, then he does so with a black mark against his name.
 

It’s not a deal breaker though, his age gives him a little leeway and he has an opportunity not to let that disgusting act be one of the defining moments of who he is as a footballer and, more importantly, as a man. 
 

Obviously not exactly the same, but we all know a certain Uruguayan who also arrived with a black mark and left with several more. If this young man makes a fraction of the positive impact Luis Suarez made and manages to avoid any more negatives, then it could be a steal of a signing. 

[dockers_strike]

Diego Costa is available on a free and city just signalled they wont be signing him. I know he's a right cunt but what a out of the box signing he could be?

Wrong club

[Captain Turdseye]

So Davies is the new Van Dijk and Kabak is Luis Suarez reincarnated as a central defender. Makes you wonder why we’ve been faffing about for the last four weeks. 

[YNWAViking]

Forgot all about the car man. Roll on spitting man!

Never watch Marseille, mate, sorry. I would rather get the Marquinhos lad on loan ...

 

I can tell you haven't been following my Football Manager draft team very closely...

[Megadrive Man]

If we are bringing in a foreign defender it would suggest that either Matip or Van Dijk is out for the season as we will need to remove one of the below;

 

Goalkeepers: Alisson, Adrian

Defenders: Van Dijk, Robertson, Matip, Tsimikas

Midfielders: Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Thiago, Keita, Shaqiri

Forwards: Firmino, Mane, Salah, Minamino, Jota, Origi

I’m not prepared to rule out Keita being crocked until the summer yet.

If we bring in one foreign lad it's been said Gomez will be de registered from the PL squad. Davies counts as home grown apparently. If we signed a second foreign player then things would get interesting unless one of the non home grown players in the squad is loaned out.
