ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[PhilM]

How can he be signed before the transfer window opens? Can't remember to have seen that before.. at least not with pictures of them with their new clubs shirt

It's similar with the Keita deal where a deal is agreed in principle: Southampton have agreed a price and allowed Liverpool to agree terms.

Simply the paperwork will go through on the 1st to legally ratify the deal, however he will still be a Southampton player up until then.

He's better than what they have, he's been overpriced massively but all footballers are to some extent or another so it becomes moot, but they still have no keeper and a hole in midfield. They are a good team in a battle with other good and better teams. We need to close the gap on that bunch with more astute signings now and in the summer and not fret over prices.

If we get a striker and left back in this window and improve until the summer the second half of the season can act as a springboard for next season irrespective of what happens elsewhere. This period is critical to us.

Heard this announced on talk sport last night and 10 minutes later a presenter was calling them title contenders next season. I am happy with this, let them hope, it's all the funnier when reality hits.

 

[Zezti]

They're just preemptively spending the Coutinho money.

 

[Jacob]

The word is they're funding this one through the sale of 'Jon Flanagan is innocent' t-shirts.

In the hope that theyre more successful than these RS T-shirt productions I presume ????

 

[mawders]

Have they won the league yet?

They're just preemptively spending the Coutinho money.

He's already looking for property in Spain.

 

[stony]

Have they won the league yet?

Not since 2014.

Pretty sure Klopp just claimed that tall players take longer to settle.

Absolutely baffling.

Must be thinner air, or something

Or has Das Beaut had one too many Baileys

Tapped up, make an enquiry it’s all the same nonsense. My point is we should have the players we need ready to sign on jan 1st especially the urgent ones as I mentioned in my original post

Yes, I hope they learned their lesson from the summer and have everything lined up.

 

[IllinoisBlue]

If you have to pay 75m for one player, a defender, to attempt to play catch-up to a side that are streets ahead already, then I'll be having a little chuckle to myself tonight.

FSW will want the books balanced still, this is no game changer at Analfield.

Clearly though all reasonable folk accept that he is the best defender ever to walk the face of the earth.

I thought FSW was at Newcastle now?

 

[Mosh-pit]

Ffs, I really wanted him here.

 

[Yid4life]

Kane ruined VVD last season.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

If he makes them invincible on set pieces and results start to go their way, then you'd have to argue it's a decent buy for what they are trying to achieve in the table. I can only hope that he takes a while to adjust and he is still in autopilot after the fiasco in the summer.
