I was with one of my Fulham buddies last night. He said they're trying to get him on loan till the end of the sesson, but aren't hopeful . 


I was about to come and say it wouldn’t surprise me if he went back to Fulham.

Considering Dier's traits, they'd be paying money for nothing.   I've already got my coat.

And what if city don't go on a crazy run and just go on a decent run, dropping some points along the way? This is a season where it looks like they can't hit a stupid total, so we should be doing ever

Could have been Mount as well, I suppose. 

Maybe... I can't remember if he was specific about DMs. But either way when you look at some players we've been linked to, there's certainly a number who've barely played (mount, Lavia, kone) or if they have, not been great. I'd be surprised though if klopp was referring to the form of a player elsewhere, which feels a bit disrespectful - it feels more likely to me he's talking about players who've not been able to get on the pitch very much, which would have been disastrous had we bought 4 midfielders and 3 of them never got on the pitch.

Re-watching the video, he says “Some strange things happened, certain defensive midfielders didn’t want to sign for us”. Given the press stories around it, to me, it’s pretty obvious he’s referring to Caicedo.

 

However, the next comment of “and thank god it worked out that way” has been taken out of context. I take that as more  he’s really happy with what he’s got and how it’s going with those players, rather than taking shots at players who didn’t sign for us. 
 

We’ve all known that hat Klopp is like for nearly 10 years now. He’s always super positive about what he’s got and doesn’t often moan about what he doesn’t have. Taking shots at players or clubs has never been his style.

Maybe caicedo but to be honest I think it's more strange we didn't get Lavia. We also bid for him several times and then even after getting caicedo, Chelsea gazumped us for a position they'd just filled for 120m. I'm sure we felt we had a free run at him.

We had a fee agreed for Caicedo. We never had a fee agreed for Lavia.

Well we won an auction Brighton then never actually let us win as they knew he was never coming to us. 


I’m not doing this. It’ll just go round in circles. 
 

I’ll stick with Klopp, Brightons chairman, Caicdeos agent and Caicedo’s comments.
 

You stick with your opinion. 
 

Laters.

I think he has more problems with being a bit shit at football rather than any words he might have said though. 

I don't think he lacks ability. Hes probably better technically than Harvey but I remember him getting knocked off the ball very easily, rolling around and crying if he got a bit of a kick.

 

I wonder whether Klopp has reservations about his lack of toughness as you need that these days especially with the game being much more physical.
