Just checking here, but are we second in the league or did I imagine that. We came out of the xmas period one point closer to Chelsea than when we went in and this place is almost in melt down because we haven't bought any players yet. The last time I looked there was 31 days in January and none of our rivals have signed anyone of note yet either. Who do we sign, what players do you suggest we sign? G you're excluded, you would just sign everyone.  Jaysus lads,let's wait and see what happens before we start bursting blood vessels. We have been without 4 of our best players and we are still in second place. If we get them back we will be considerably stronger. We all know that the squad needs strengthening but let's leave that up to our manager who has taken us to 2nd place and two finals up to this point.

Transfer Windows are usually like domino's, we'll get to the last few days and players will start moving as they are all linked, remember if club A approaches club B for a player, Club B will want to have a player ready to come in and replace the departing player, so there is allot of negotiation to do as clubs don't want to broadcast who they are after as the prices go up. In the summer you have more time and not the pressure of players, smaller teams don't want to let their best players go as they might keep them in the PL, look at Payet and Defoe, Defoe is £100million player to Sunderland if he scores the goals to keep them in the PL.
The same happened when Torres went, it was rumoured for weeks, just before he go's we sign Suarez and at the last minute we get Carroll who we have to overpay for as Newcastle know we have £50million burning a hole in our pockets.

I used to like transfer Windows but the hysteria if we don't sign a whole squad of world class players every window is just too much.
hysteria? So you think our current squad is in good shape to take on this league challenge that we are in at the moment? We were ok a few weeks ago weren't we? A few iffy results in a very trying time with a few injuries and everyone loses it. Klopp will sign someone if he wants to. If not then there's either no one available or he doesn't think we need to. He's the manager and the best one we be had in years so why would you not trust what he's doing? For the record I'd like us to try and sign some players as we do need more backup. But if we don't it's not the end of the world and I certainly won't lose any sleep over it or be crying into my earl grey. Let me ask you where you thought we'd be at this point of the season in August? Just out of interest like. Klopp is a great manager I would not swap him for anyone. The season this far has been incredible and I am over the moon with the players and the manager. And I truly believe that Klopp is the best man to build our squad. Forgot all about were we thought we would be at this season. We are in 2nd it is what it is and if we need to kidnap players and make them play for us to get us over the line to win the league for the first time in over 25 years we should be doing it.

If the story is true that Costa will be dropped, it's crazy that an outside club has caused this. It is also strange for Costa, he's top of the league, having a great season scoring goals, he must be a muilti-millionaire and I am sure Abromovic pays very very well, no doubt he would get more money in China, but what's the point? as a top striker in a very poor league and a very foreign land????
We shouldn't gloat, everyone is complaining here about us not signing players, I am more concerned about bids for the likes of Coutinho/Firmino/Lallana/Mane, FSG have a history of selling players when they think their peak value has been reached .....

Going into 2 huge games this month without a backup for Mane is a huge risk

The last thing any of us want is a repeat of the Balotelli farce. I know it's unlikely, but ultimately he was a panic buy. We would all be delighted if we picked up a player or two, but they have to be the right players.
