      Yes Jürgen's "preferred" options were Keita and VVD, if a club refuses to sell it is not the owners fault Stuey, you can't blame everything on them. The window is still open and I feel people are panicking. Jürgen knows full well he needs to bulk the squad out a bit so let's see what happens. When I listen to Klopp he is not worried in the least about what is going on outside the training pitch. Yes Studge was took off as a precaution, if Jürgen feels there is a player out there who can add to the squad I am sure we will bring him in, BUT only if the other club will sell. It is more difficult this year as no prem club "has" to sell anymore with all the money floating about and the clubs abroad know prem clubs have the cash, I mean look at Swansea trying to get 50m for Gylfi Sigurðsson for f*ck sake. We know we can beat anyone with our first 11 and we now have the added bonus of Trent, Gomez and Ryan Kent looking the real deal along with Grujic back in the fold, so try not to despair too much.

      All very well mate but what is alarming people is the similarity to the previoùs 7+ years of fuckuppery under these owners.

      Not parroting or justifying anything pal, its my opinion just like you have yours.

      This is what's wrong with social media these days, everyone is always on the defensive or too quick to slag someone off.

      Fine, but if it's your opinion, you should have some logic behind why you hold it?

      A player coming off of injury isn't like a new signing...unless they literally never played for the club before they got injured and this is the first time they are seeing the field.

      I didn't mean to come off as crass towards you specifically, it's just that this line gets thrown about all over the place and I'm not sure why it gets repeated so often.

      Coutinho isn't going anywhere bro.

      FSG's plan is probably to hide his passport.

      It's just that it's Barca. Its like the hottest chic in the world wants to go out with you. Can be tempting, even if happily married ;)

      I don't know man....Barca has kind of lost it's luster as of late, they are losing Neymar, Iniesta isn't the same anymore...their defense isn't really that great and now they want to pay for a 600m stadium renovation which very well may mean they have to raise even more money from player sales. I predict a bit of a rough time for them in the next few years. With Zidane keeping Madrid firing and to my knowledge, they don't have any real money problems (that the government can't fix ;D) they are turning the screw on Barca.

      Luis should see this coming and get out now...come to Liverpool and play for the redmen again ;)

      Well looks like Neymar is off, so Barca could have 222mill to play with. More than enough to test any club/players resolve.
      Agree Madrid look a bit stronger right now, and with Neymar leaving and Messi not getting any younger they need to make some 'right' decisions. If I was them, Cou would be a right decision. If they are serious, would expect some big numbers coming our way soon.
      Won't be happy until the window shuts and he's still here.

      Don't always agree with Tommo, but heard him on the radio today saying we should be out looking for a 20goal a season striker. As highest priority.
      On this occasion couldn't agree more.
      In same report, heard Studge will miss final due to hip strain - he 'felt something' after scoring?!  We want to be listening to this again next season?
      Sell him, and Ings, and go all out for a top striker (who Klopp will actually play).
      Still time...

      Add dybala to that list too. If I was a barca fan then I'd want dybala as a winger or upfront and cou as a Iniesta role.

      I believe that Coutinho is viewed by Barca as a replacement for  Iniesta... Dybala viewed more as a Neymar replacement

      It's gone a little too quiet, I haven't seen us linked to anybody, or any closer to signing anyone, apart from the same old stories being released again..

      I'd like to see more of Marko Grujic.

      ...... and Ryan Kent for me. Think the kid is pretty special.

      Maybe this should be the title of this thread.

      It's fuc....king depressing me. Come on LFC make something happen. Season starts in less than two weeks. We need players. I've been giving it some thought and I reckon that Jürgen has ear marked some. Very specific players and is not willing to simply take the next one down, or the next, or the next one on the transfer committee list in the way that Rodgers would have done. Surely something new will come up this week.

      I think now that PSG have got Neymar, and Barca have €200m burning in their pockets, the transfer market will pick up in the next week. Still think we will keep Couts - but there will now be some other big money moves off the back of Neymar deal

      I think Barca will spunk at least £100 million on Mbappe.

      If they like him it's a move that would make sense, Madrid have been lauded as his likely destination so it's the sort of signing that would appease the fans and keep the current club president in their favour. They'll be back in with another bid for Coutinho as well though, I'd expect it in the ne t couple of days.

      If Gareth Bale is available for £90 million can we not use the £70 million we wanted to spend on Keita plus a bit more to get him. He is a terrific player although I guess there are some doubts over his injuries.

      He's obviously a great player, where does he fit into our current squad? Does he push Mane or Salah to the bench?  Does he play as a winger or do we stick him at fullback where I believe he started his career ;)
