I thought Jurgen was a master at finding unknown stars. Isn't that what he did at Dortmund?
Was it a myth or is something strategically different (ka shyte) with LFC's recruitment setup? Unknown stars will probably still cost us 30/40 mil because we're in the prem.
That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

How many years have we been waiting for a CB like VvD and now you want a cheaper version ? How do you think that will work out? If we've been waiting for him so long, do you know he replaced Lovren at a little bit higher than half the price.

It's sadly time to move on. Soton won't sell him to us now. Another great display from our suits. They wanted it to look as if we were really after something people would call a big signing. Oh bad on us we didn't manage to get him after all. Just wait and see, soon there will be 10 new cheaper recruits lined up (not signed though) - all from Flash's computer list of wortwhile moneyball prospects. In reality we don't have much more money left for summer signings. I think we've got about what we can expect now.

Michael Keane is being linked to Everton in a £25 million deal, I think its madness we are contemplating spending £70 million on VvD who's been injured 6 months and not kicked a ball, but we have an experienced English CB who is 24 and available for £25 million, he's a very good defender, we should get him.

If the ambition was there we'd sign him. We'd use this saga as a statement of intent to attract other top class players to challenge for the title. Sadly despite Klopp putting it up to them, the suits haven't changed their spots. They don't have the requisite ambition. We're still in smoke and mirrors land it seems.

Michael Keane has been playing for Burnley, a team that defends deep and with their backs to the wall, we are the exact opposite to this. Is he someone to bring the ball out of defence and pick a pass? Does he have the pace to get back as we will play a high line? Van Dijk possesses these qualities in abundance.

Good shout Chris , looking for a VvD replacement means a player you can play a high line.
It is about pushing the train, not jumping on a running train.’ That is what we need here. It’s not allowed to take the history in the backpack

The more I think about this damning reality the more I feel a frustration building from incompetence based on greed. These guys are truly doing are picking the worst parts of arsenal and expecting success with the luck of Leicester city ,
The only thing unrealistic about FSG is their strategy , a time we can push on to something they'd rather nessle in the comfort of EPL finances . Part of me wishes Everton challenges for title to wake up FSG and realise we are stagnating

Though mind you, in my own defence, I was wondering where the good Klopp’o got his own conversion from, he has a reputation for signing wannabes himself, perhaps it was all media hype after all. Anyway some bright spark’ll be on soon to tell us the window isn’t even open yet, and to calm the fu*k down! But you’d have to say its all beginning to look horribly and depressingly familiar!
