Mate, "Cooties" is a nifty little player, who can skip around and score some goals, but he is not exactly a powerhouse who can dominate the middle of the park.
One big mistake Klopp has made is to fill the side with light weights who are easily knocked off the ball and who don't have much courage. Too little muscle and too many hugs.

As a replacement for Lovren Klopp putting on his trainers to partner him? We joke, but I still fancy carra could play CB better than Lovren.

We tried to buy Sanchez, he chose arsenal as he wanted to goto London, sometimes you can bid more, but it's the players choice also, I think we offered more than arsenal?
This is what I'm saying he wanted London all the F ucking time why did our suits p1ss fart around for 3-6 months were they the only ones who didn't know ffs ! I though we had the deal done, I remember wenger saying he was surprised he could get him as he thought he was gone to us, when Arsenal came in he said he wanted London.

I hope we get the cl money
RB Leipzig chief confirms why long-term stay for Liverpool-bound Naby Keita was impossible
Guinea midfielder will join the Reds next summer in a deal that could eventually be worth €70m. Funny how there’s no talk of a clause?

I would prefer this option
Liverpool to make sensational January swoop for European star
After spending the summer fighting tooth and nail to keep Phillipe Coutinho at Anfield, Liverpool finally look ready to allow the Brazilian to join Barcelona, and will make a January move for German international Julian Draxler as his replacement.
Draxler, 24, has not long been plying his trade with Paris St Germain, but the arrivals of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are limiting his game time, something which is not going down well with Draxler, who is currently averaging just 43 minutes per game with PSG – and is concerned this may hamper his chances of being first choice for the German national squad with the 2018 World Cup fast approaching.
Liverpool will want a swift and decisive move in place for once Coutinho does leave Anfield, to appease their fans and, they hope, press their claims for a Champions League place next season, with a title challenge already disappearing over the horizon this season.
Draxler is also on the radar of Arsenal, whom appear keen on the player as they look for replacements for their own want away stars Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil – but Liverpool will feel they hold the upper hand to bring the player to Anfield, although Draxler’s wage demands may well prove to be a sticking point, as he is currently on a very generous 4 year contract at PSG.
Although losing Coutinho will still be a blow for the Reds, gaining Draxler will be a fine acquisition as replacement. Whilst they are incomparable in terms of size and stature, Draxler is pacy and versatile, with an exceptionally strong shot. He may not possess the impish skills and movement of Coutinho, but his direct running and aggressive play will suit the Premier League and it may not be long before the Kop are singing his praises rather than ruing the loss of their current darling. I think PSG may not have the money for Phil under the fair play rule but I would like to have some direct swap of players with them. I think it makes sense to have a valuation of Phil similar to neymar (or at least higher than Mbappe). With this valuation, I hope a direct swap with both Draxler, Rabiot, Lucas Moura and Marquinos.) If this is the case, with also Keita to join, we can solve almost all our problem.

I'd rather Goretzke (spelling?) from Schalke. He looks a proper player and gets goals.

Guinea midfielder will join the Reds next summer in a deal that could eventually be worth €70m. Funny how there’s no talk of a clause? 70 mil for one player with no cl money is a lot and we also need cb 50 + mil if vvd and Klopp is set on him I think ? lb 20+ mil striker 40+ mil that's getting close to 200 mil ? Then a keeper So if we get naby with no cl I think that will be the end of any signings next summer if we don't get cl money etc ! we prob will get 80 + for phil thou but that will be spent on a replacement I hope ! I am pretty sure that 70M Euro including some add-on. Besides, CL money is important but nowadays it is not as important as it used to be because the high broadcast revenue from EPL. That's why you can see there are a lot of mid-table teams can afford for the players with 30M or above. Sakho and Benteke, for example, were sold to crystal palace with a fee that you cant imagine they can afford before. We still wants to play in CL and get the CL money but it is not a must to keep a top team survival tho. It used to be a disaster if a top side cant have a top 4 finish and get the CL money. However, you look at Arsenal last year, they failed to qualify but they can still afford to buy loads of players. If Lemar didnt turn them down, they could spend 92M more than now.

For CB, I am not sure if we will still go for VVD. I think the transfer team will try but I dont think they are willing to match the price tag of Southamton. Our TC likes to have bargain buys unless those are very young talent.
De Vrij looks a realistic target for us as his contract is running out next summer. I didnt see him play much tbh and I dont know if he is really good enough to play for us.
Personally, I rate De Ligt from Ajax very high and I want the club sign him. However, signing a 18 year old to play for such a high pressure club seems risky as the pressure may destroy a lot of young players.
As we didnt spend a lot in the past few windows, I still hope there will be some major spendings in the next few windows.
I remember Rafa once said, you dont need a owner to spend a lot every windows but you need an owner that is willing to spend once you have to. I think the current situation is the time that we have to spend to do a quick fix.

It doesn't matter what you or anyone else thinks.
We have American owners with a business model in place that they are proud of. We are being run self sufficiently which means the books will always be in balance. Needs for more players signed? Nope!
The only hope we have of more players being brought in is selling more players or that we get fantastic money for Coutinho, Salah or Mané.
Another problem is our lack of capabilities to get deals wrapped up. I simply can´t see us having time enough in the summer (never mind January) to get multiple big deals done.
If we sell Coutinho to Barca then that doesn't mean we will replace him in the same window. Look at what happened when we sold Suarez. Still not replaced after 3 years!
