      I'd sell him with a buy back clause..especially if Keita comes in and of course if he doesn't renew until September which by the looks of it does not seem likely.

      The whole point of the story is to grease the wheels of his new contract.

      As if that story hasn't come from his agent :lmao:

      Watched Firminho attempts again at attemting to be a CF and just not cutting it we will jack with him up top. Feel a bit sorry for him really he is a steady player but just doesnt cut it in any particular position

      Don't think it'll happen. Tempting though.

      What I'd like to know is what the plan is now that our attempts to land Keita have failed (or appear to anyway).

      Can.

      I see something there as did Jürgen when he tracked him at Hoffenheim .

      Didn't have the best of luck last season injury wise .

      Has showns flashes of brilliance and he can dine out for a while on his overhead kick.
      Player with the quality as a starter for the German national team.

      31 million squid is an interesting opening offer at that level.
      They've obviously factored in a premium for him.
      It would make the club think about it.

      I think Jürgen has faith in him and that faith Can ( ;D) be rewarded by the player.


      I still think he has future Captain material as Jürgen will eventually want one of his own.  Hendo was BR's.

      Always thought the same (future captain), has the presence and that angry snarl I think you need as a captain. I wonder how much this contract situations has hindered his chances at ever having the armband though.

      As for transfers it appears that Bascombe is finalising our position on Keita, apparently we'll be back in for him next year (we've heard that before haven't we? ) and unless RBL change their stance, which seems highly unlikely, our interest is finished for him this window.

      He was also saying that we're ready to bid for VvD but only if Southampton indicate that they're willing to do business, like the shy lad at the dance waiting for the woman to give him the signal. Right now she's looking rather uninterested, we need to give her a reason to look our way and offering Sakho in the deal could well shift things in our favour. Waiting around until she's about to get in the taxi though really wont show a good look.

      Klopp's going to have to pull a rabbit out of the hat or this is going to go down as the worst transfer window we've had in a long time. This is beyond ridiculous at this point.

      Behave soft lad it's no where near the embarrassment of selling Suarez and replacing him with Lambert & Ballotelli.

      Salah and Solanke so far look to be good buy's, plus I still think we'll get VVD done, if we don't get Keita done, then so be it, we've still got a fairly good squad to start the season.

      Transfer Window ?

      Think we should be reading other posts about FSG's intentions ...

      Liverpool will not make a move for Southampton centre-back Virgil van Dijk, 26, unless they are invited to do so by the south coast club.

      http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4723052/Liverpool-wait-green-light-Virgil-van-Dijk-bid.html

      Liverpool's chances of signing RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita are looking increasingly remote as the German club insist they will not sell the 22-year-old Guinean this summer

      http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/10958863/rb-leipzig-rule-out-selling-liverpool-target-naby-keita


      Sorry mate just read your post after replying to Eddieo.... Just getting the feeling over the past couple weeks or so that even though we are still linked with VVD and Keita that Salah was our big signing of the summer , and that players link Robertson and Solanke will be bough in on the cheap and touted and a great transfer window by the FSG Spin Machine... The VVD transfer seems to have stalled even though the player still seems keen on LFC, same with Keita, Don't know just have that feeling

      Said that I just got this feeling... It is just the way things are going, and with the recent story linking Emre Can with Juv' It is like a story being laid that will appease the Supporters with " You know what...? So we failed to sign Keita, but we kept Emre Can. He was an important part of us reaching 4th place last season and CL football" .... And the whole VVD thing....? what is that all about...??? Waiting to be invited to bid for him...???

       Hopefully there is still time for me to be proven wrong

      This could right to the end of the window. Personally I think we need to get the squad sorted before the start of the 1st game in the Premier league so maybe either drop it or go after our other midfield target, if we have any.

      While you're not wrong about the Lambert/Ballotelli signings Huyton, singing this transfer window's praises in comparison to that saga is hardly a ringing endorsement for the way we have gone about our business this summer, thus far.

      Different manager too eh.

      Klopp's already got these guys on double training sessions - he pushes them hard. Similarly he would have done the same last pre-season. Now, whether it's the gruelling training or lack of squad quality that lead to us dropping off a cliff for 2 months at the beginning of this year, I couldn't say. My guess is, it was a bit of both with the latter being the most dominant factor.

      That was a Klopp regime, a Klopp squad in a domestic campaign.

      Now you may not worry how a Klopp regime, with a Klopp squad trimmed of a midfielder in Lucas, and an unreliable one in Henderson re. his injuries, are going to cope in a domestic campaign PLUS a European one but I personally do.

      This squad couldn't overcome a domestic campaign.

      How the f**k is it supposed to fair with Europe on top of that?

      Doesn't matter how you dress this Huyton, this window, thus far has been nothing but a sorry affair and the fact it is spoken in the same sentence as the Lambert/Balotelli one, means it's right at home as far as shabby windows go.

      After reading that shitty article, it got me wondering. FSG should think outside the box and sign, pewdiepie! Our revenue will probably double or triple!!! Just have him come on for the last minute :D

      So.....pewdiepie anyone?!?! Makes sense, right?!

      At this point in the transfer window I fail to see how any for the players we have sign has given us anything more that flexibility in who and where we play our squad players... Yes you can argue that Salah has scored goals for Roma, has pace etc, but where do you play him...? on the right then where do yo play...?Then where do you play Mane...? the Left.... Means you have to move Coutinho to midfield, hold on where do you put Lallana?, and what about Grujic,Can,Milner and Henderson, My guess is a fit again Henderson starts, but you know what I mean... For me the £35m for Salah would have been better spent on a striker (Javier Hernandez £16m) Just fail to see how this windows transfer thus far have solved problem area than created more problems... Can't see Luke being happy if it means less game time for Firmino  :roll: ...
      Then again I maybe looking at this the wrong way, and Salah playing on the left and Coutinho dropped to midfield is not a problem because maybe FSG are waiting for Barca to bid some where north of £85m and they will sell  :o

      £'80m is reported to be the latest bid for Coutinho, as things stand and if the lad did bite their F***ing hands off we would be worse than square one.
