I'm not sure I'd trust us to spend that £100m wisely right now.

Most likely nonsense (I’d say it almost certainly is) but again, a player, like Camavinga, was experienced at league and CL level, in the last year of his contract and went for a low fee. 
 

Sure Bayern paid something like €15m for him. 
 

He’s moaning he’s not getting a game at Bayern and it sounds like the have Laimer in the summer, can’t be worse than current performances. 
 

Lijnders won’t be stopped until we’re fielding 11 Dutchmen.

So everyone's on board with our first choice midfield of Bajcetic, Keita and Thiago playing whenever possible until the end of the season? Doesn't sound so bad actually.

Those three should clearly be first choice now. Of course it’s only a matter of time before Keita breaks down again, and probably also Thiago at some stage. And Bajcetic is 18, so relying on him for the rest of the season isn’t something you’d want to do.

 

Behimd them however it’s just grim. Fabinho may at some stage be able to do a job if we manage to be more compact, and defend deeper. Apart from that I see no one good enough to start a single game. So we really really need to get someone in this window.

Drop Alisson

 

Fucking hell

 

Has John Henry got a blag account on here to convince us to sell him in the summer 

I'd not be shocked at all if we sold Ali. He's probably our most valuable asset. I think it's as likely we'll have none of our Brazilians here next season as all 3.

Two left sided forwards and a new pool for the yacht.

Imagine how confused teams would be if we played all our left sided attackers and just got Trent to ping cross field balls. Could be like a mighty ducks Flying V - well until we lost possession and get destroyed.

I suspect Mo to one of the oil clubs is our most valuable option. More likely than Ali going I think.

I dunno. Maybe. They're the same age, but goalies last a whole lot longer and Ali is probably the best keeper on the planet.

Not sure many big clubs that could afford Alisson are looking for a keeper at the moment. 

[Pidge]

See rangers have signed Todd cantwell, which seems like an odd move. Weird one as he seems too good for that league, but not good enough for the prem.

[johnsusername]

Alisson is probably our player of the season. Would be madness to sell him!

I created some pretty insane overloads on CM back in the with/without ball days back in 99/00

They could all afford him, Don't treats us as the example in the transfer market. Chelsea back in for Enzo again, today.

This obviously.

 

How do people actually come up with these ideas. The team looks broken, so let’s sell the only part that actually works. Great idea.

I don't think it is people wanting best player sold - it is more a case of fearing that is what we will do to raise money.

 

 

[El Rojo]

Would be lunacy to drop Alisson. He’s brilliant. 

 

It is also cretinous that Kelleher isn’t guaranteed the domestic cups games. He’s more than earned it, and is a proven specialist in penalty shoot-outs. 

[TheHowieLama]

I doubt many other teams would have held onto Kelleher even this long.

 

Kelleher

Jones

Phillips

Elliott

 

What is that 70 mil?

Can't see Elliott being sold myself.

 

Kelleher is a shame as he is boss - but he is good enough to be a No.1 in the PL and if he wants to be one then reluctantly we have to let him go - insert a buy back clause!!

 

Jones is never making it here IMHO - i'd happily see us sell and upgrade.

 

Phillips is worth 20m to a lower half PL club who defend deep and would play every week who so again sell...he won't have a succesful career playing regularly here

Think we will choose one of him or Carvalho. Kind of have to tbh.

Both will be kept.

If we sell either it would be Carvalho IMO.

 

Carvalho may benefit from a loan to a PL side for a season and then see where we are.

 

Elliott i feel is a player Klopp is all in on.

Yeah, about £70m.

 

Then add on whatever Kelleher, Jones and Elliott fetch too.

[Lee909]

If anyone was willing  to offer over 10ml for Phillips he'd have been out the door the minute the offer arrived.

Yeah, agree.

Same goes for the others, maybe add 5 or 10 mil to Kelleher - we have just never had bids in that range.

 

20 mil for Jones? Hand bit off.

20 mil for Elliott - the same.
