How many windows have we had under FSG where they've done the absolute minimum or even less than expected because this feels all to familiar the ease with which they'll risk writing off seasons rather than writing cheques.

Because they are garbage owners and always have been. They had a plan to grow the Club's value and they have achieved it with a few bonuses on the way. They are now detached.

I think the issue is that we know what we have doesn't work, so we are effectively writing off this season by doing nothing.

 

We've made a decision to do nothing rather than even try and fix the problem.

 

But if you buy clearly the wrong players then you're no better off, arguably you're worse off.

 

It'd be different if, for example, we took a chance on on a mobile midfielder who likes a tackle. In that scenario you could realistically say you tried to fix the problem whether it worked or not.

[TheHowieLama]

Or the decision was made that Sabitzer is in no way part of the answer.

That fella can't even afford to buy a blue tick let alone have one through 'merit', Here we don't go, not true etc etc.

 

 

[Joso]

I like Connor Gallagher. I think we should be in for him

He even signs off with a laugh so we know it's not true.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Our best current midfield is still a poor midfield but I'm sure they will stay fit so it doesn't drop from poor to what it was before.

[Torvald Utne]

...time against LFC... Like they haven't had the same amount of time as everyone else

Good at pressing high up the pitch, not so convinced on him further back. Would be worth looking at but would be quite overpriced.

[bizzle10]

So we’re giving up on top 4 with what we got so we got clear run at title next season with no Europe and blockbuster additions in the summer yeah I know got to look on bright side etc

Any player is overpriced for our bunch.

[Red Shift]

Luke Chambers [Liverpool - Kilmarnock] Loan

 

Jarell Quansah [Liverpool - Bristol Rovers] Loan

 

Jake Cain [Liverpool - Swindon] Undisclosed

 

Womens Super League

 

Fuka Nagano [North Carolina Courage - Liverpool] Undisclosed

 

Any chance she could replace Fabinho?

[No2]

I don't get all the knickers in a twist going on. It's been obvious for weeks we weren't signing a midfielder. Now we have people who have hated FSG for years and others that already written off the season crying like babies. This isn't news, our model is clear we won't take just anyone. 

 

All the twitter virgins would be pulling their tiny plums if we signed Gakpo today.

I understand having a philosophy and only going for the right man. However football is not static, rivals are always moving to improve, and if we don't choose the right balance between pragmatism and this so called model, we run the risk of having fucking shit seasons like this one.

 

Our team lacks energy, a new face in midfield would have absolutely helped.

I don't dispute that, I just get the hissy fits by those that have accepted and "told us so" repeatedly. Are lack of activity is not a surprise to anyone.

It's that Keith Azul fella. The one who made up the stat about us having 5 per cent local season ticket holders.

[TheDrowningMan]

Can’t wait until the summer when numerous fans and journos alike swallow the bare-faced lie that no CL means we have less to spend, and that Bellingham is now just a fantasy while we shop around for players big clubs like Arsenal, Newcastle and Tottenham wouldn’t look twice at.

Hope you’re right, Gravenberch is crap.

All this reacting to unforeseen developments nonsense other clubs do will never catch on.

Major injury to a vital player? Who would sign a replacement? Only fools would, not the super smart red faced turtle in the corner of the room!

[Bobby Hundreds]

We won't just take anyone! Arthur Mello springs to mind, the last shit storm we got Ben Davies and Obak. Is Carvalho good value or much sought after its nonsense we get who we want or no one. Mane nor Salah where not first choice. We wanted Tchoumeni he wanted Madrid so we just decide there's no other midfielders in and send a scout to find a chosen one and pray he wants us too. You have to be flexible and proactive in football.

[Leyton388]

Feel sorry for Klopp to some degree. Its fucking obvious the twats running the club have zero ambition apart from the ambition of growing the balance sheet and P&L. 

 

They've taken the piss since 2018 and need to be called out and told to fuck off. Its not going to be long before the atmosphere in the ground turns on them. 

 

3rd highest earners in world football, 5 years of continued success and yet we dont have a pot to piss in? 

 

It doesn't add up and quite frankly fucking stinks. 

 

Can't wait until the summer when the excuses of no CL football means even less to spend start getting leaked and more bullshit stories of takeovers start appearing as another excise to not spend.

The point is that we've already got the wrong players here and we're prepared to stick with them even though we know that they don't work.

 

I don't believe that there isn't one single player that could have improved our midfield this January.

They’ve got the sack the manager card to play first, if they preposterously use the lack of CL for spending less rather than far more this coming summer and next season goes badly. They’d get away with it with enough people to make it worth their while if they don’t want to sell.

Is he? Starting to sound more plausible already then.  If he’s injury prone too it’s time to get down to Kirkby and form an excitable huddle.
