KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Players returning/ incoming players

Going by our recent record I'd worry about any transfer just like everyone else. But this is Klopp now not Rodgers and the committee (even though the committee could still be there) so it's a clean slate for me and we just have to see what happens.

If Klopp wants a player and we don't, tough shitte. He'll live or die by his decisions and signings as every manager does and I know we all want to get back to the top but I can assure you Klopp will want that too.

Plus, there's still plenty of time for Spurs to come in a nick him

I was asked what decent players have moved. I responded with about 15 players that have moved.

Redmond despite not being a world beater is still better than what we have on our wings at the minute. He was better than ibe. Markovic. Which seem to be our only wingers. one was bombed out. And the other just bombed.

We could sign some no name players who carry us to the CL places. Great. I'll take that.
Sadio mane could come in and be our top scorer.

The thing is tho we seem to do this every year. We sign someone who did well the season before and pay 2x what he is worth.
I'm just bored of seeing us make so many mistakes (mane isn't one yet) season after season. We all knew Downing Henderson Adam Carroll Benteke were all over priced. And we all seemed to think they weren't good enough.

This has that same feel about it. He looks a good player at Southampton. But I've said that about a few others we signed from there.

And I'm bored of the same hysteria and moaning every year. As the leavers are telling us, suck it up and get on with it! And if you don't like it? Well you know what.

Agree completely with this.

I would love to know what LFC's obsession with Southampton is. How come they mug us on the transfer fees for Lovren, Lallana and now Mane but Spurs manage to negotiate Wanyama for £11million?

I would suggest it's because Wanyama only had a year left on his contract.

It's a lot of money but from those we've bought from them he's got the most chance of having an impact for me. He's a Klopp type player, is quick, strong and can score. He got more goals and assists than our prize asset last season.

The Southampton thing is getting boring though.

Agree with that but that still doesn't mean he's worth the outlay. Still, lets hope he proves me wrong.

At the end of the day, Southampton didn't have to sell, he had a few years on his contract and they had a good PL season last year, so don't need the money to keep the club afloat like the lesser teams used to, so we had to pay the price they wanted, I'm just relieved we got him for £30 million (if confirmed), I expected it to be closer to £40 million with the quotes being banded around.

I think he's a good addition, If he joins he will add something different to our midfield, pace, power, unpredictability, goals (1 in 3 average for last 2 years for Southampton). He is also an impact player, he came on against us with Southampton 0-2 down and turned the game around with Wanyama to win 3-2 scoring 2 goals and running us ragged, I'm sure that's when Klopp & Co thought we could use him.

I just wish we would have got Wanyama as well for £11 million, I know the Southampton thing is boring, but he would give our midfield some strength and power to dominate it, which we have been missing, I am guessing Klopp still has a central midfielder in his sights (maybe this Polish lad but I don't know allot about him). Hopefully just a decent LB now we need with a CM.

By the end of this transfer window £30 million may sound a bargain with some of the prices being quoted, at least we are doing our business early so Klopp can get a good pre-season with them and get them upto speed with the system, rather than our usual last minute panic on the last day of the transfer Window and miss our targets as we dither!!!

I would hope that we scouted him for longer than 45mins to warrant spending £30million plus! Don't forget he also missed a penalty in that cameo against us!
