I mean, Tuchels not really wrong. Kimmich is a pretty creative player, he creates chances from midfield and finds passes between the lines. It isnt crazy to say that the best use of him is playing him next to a more defensive player. You wouldnt want him playing alone in front of a defense, you would want to give him freedom. 

 

I don’t know enough either way. From what I’ve read, it’s a bone of contention for Kimmich because he sees himself as a #6.

Theate, I think, would be an interesting target. He is a warrior on the pitch, verging on being too aggressive and engaged.

He and his bald headed goons will have a field day

Maybe, but Klopp seemed pretty honest in his recent comments about how important Thiago will be for us this season.

Palacios looks incredible numbers wise but he gets a lot of injuries, probably why we never considered him.

Aye, 3 birds at once is terrific numbers.

It isn't really cards, it's more in the Lovren or David Luiz sense where he chases stuff a little too much. But he is still young and he is more physically gifted than Lovren was so he could learn to channel that and use the aggression more effectively. 

[El Dangerous]

It would be nice to box off some areas of the team before the end of the window. Letting this shit run in to next summer leaves us with a midfield to shore up, defenders to replace, maybe a Nunez to fuck off and most likely succession planning for life without Mo. I imagine the last one is a tactical tweak we’ll need to find because we won’t find a winger who scores 30 goals a season again.

[Jordy Brouwer]

Its a signing that I can live with and even might have some positives but there's no getting away from the fact that its increadibly small time.

As other have said had we brought in others and he was brought in as a experienced squad player or player to start while a younger player beds in. I don't think there would be any complaints 

[TheDrowningMan]

As things stand, it’s very important that we don’t risk players in the domestic cups & Europa League where possible - absolutely cannot play Van Dijk or Konate and should not be risking first choice midfielders either. We simply don’t have the means to recover if any of them get injured.

That is true. Before the game on Sunday, they played some Madness song about Chelsea, Parklife and that shitty song they come out to. 
 

As if I couldn’t dislike them anymore. 

Madness IIRc are gunners fans. Fuckin knuckledraggers should come out to the theme song for 10,000 years b.c.

Suggs is a Chelsea fan

[TD_LFC]

That'll go down well amongst the more emotional amongst the fanbase.

 

Coupled with his comments that Endo has been on his list for a while but they don't usually make signings in this age range is it another Klopp crush?

 

[Mook]

Expecting players to sign for Liverpool over Chelsea because we used to hoover up trophies 40 years ago & come out to a better song is pretty fanciful when they're paying about double what we are in wages over a longer contract term.

It was definitely Suggs singing it. 
 

I can’t stand Madness or Suggs.

Chelsea (and lots of other clubs) have been beating us to players over wages for 2 decades. I'm not sure why everyone is so surprised.

Here's how I see it

 

Positives

 

* He's a square peg in a square hole. He means we will actually have a six who is fit and who isn't something else. 

 

* He's waffly versatilbe. Can play the 6, any other midfield position, left sided centre back, full back. He's more versatile than Milner and that is saying a lot.

 

* He has great tackling tecnique. His tackling stats are the best in Bundesliga. Thats is vital given how shite our tackling has against Chelsea for long streteches. It is a major plus. 

 

* He's a destroyer, first and foremost but he isn't afraid of getting forwards and he can do well when he does. 

 

* He seems to be a great guy with a great attitude and will give his all. 

 

* His injury record is great. 

 

Negatives

 

* He probably isn't good enough. If he was going to play that the level Liverpool are at let alone want to be he'd be doing it already by this stage in his career. 

 

* He isn't getting any younger. 

 

* He'd be a great free transfer but he's actually costing quite a bit.

Defo an Arthur or Ben Davies signing, though. 

[TD_LFC]

Could we still sign both Doucoure and Gravenberch?

 

Lot's of talk on both and they're too different for them to be considered for the same role.

 

Maybe they go full midfield overhaul (and look at Thiago/Bajcetic as one player in terms of playing time this season) and just not bother with a CB this summer (rightly or wrongly).

 

Doucoure seems the least likely so Endo is in as insurance and we go one player heavy in that part of the field if they can make it happen?
