...we have allot of namby pamby MF who like time on the ball and nice flicks showing off their hair products, sometimes I'd like a clumsy 6'4in MF who can run into people and get in the way !!! Haha Prince, those comments really made me laugh! Well put there!

One good thing and I can't believe I'm saying this, at least Fellaini is out so they will have one less aerial threat to punt it up to. He's a truly useless footballer when it comes to technical ability but he's always a handful because of his ability in the air and the ability to just be an absolute nuisance. I'm glad he's injured although that means Herrera will play and he's the player I hate most in the Premiership, he epitomises everything wrong with modern football. I agree with what you say on him, but he's the sort of annoying messy interfering player we are missing to get stuck in, we have allot of namby pamby MF who like time on the ball and nice flicks showing off their hair products, sometimes I'd like a clumsy 6'4in MF who can run into people and get in the way !!! Sort of agree, we definitely need an enforcer type midfielder but I'd prefer a proper one like Matic, Kante, Mascherano, etc. Fellaini isn't fit to be mentioned in the same sentence as any of them.

Yep I agree with you there, we miss a good quality breaker of play who wins the ball and keeps it simple like Kante/Mascherano etc, my point really is for all we deride Fellaini, we are missing a player with some of those attributes, he's also useful to stick up front with 10 mins to go when you need a goal, we don't have anyone like that. I was hoping Keita was that sort of player, I've not seen much of him, but from what I've heard he's a box to box MF?

I don't think Klopp would adopt that type of approach as it doesn't appear to be his style. Mourinho will do anything to get a result which is where Fellaini is useful, like he proved in the 1-1 at Old Trafford last season.

Barca are being linked to VvD in January, if we don't get him, I hope they do, as we need to either get him or move on, as while he is at Southampton we appear we won't look at alternatives.
I'm sure Southampton would prefer to sell to anyone other than us, though I am guessing the VvD interest is partly due to our attitude on Coutinho, so this is Barca's way of having a dig.

I've just watched the Milan Derby and watched Mauro Icardi score a hat-trick in a 3-2 win for Inter. Admittedly the third was a last minute penalty but I'm convinced this guy would score an absolute boat load of goals for us if we could sign him.
I'm sure we've been linked with him in the past and I've wanted us to get him for a couple of years now. He's captain of Inter at 24 but I do feel he's a realistic target for us. Whether Klopp wants a proper striker remains to be seen but I honestly think this guy is just what we need. He's a proper 18 yard box striker, his first two goals were instinctive finishes from crosses and this is something we are sorely missing, with a player like Icardi draws against the likes of Burnley, Newcastle and Watford would be wins.

He may worth over 50M tho. Cant see we have the money for him.

We just bought a one season wonder (might continue) for 48m but were ready to pay 70m. As most here say, Klopp's priorities are wrong

We just bought a one season wonder (might continue) for 48m but were ready to pay 70m. As most here say, Klopp's priorities are wrong I read a lot of reports Ox is around 34M not 40M. Or you are referring to Euro not GBP? (Sort of strange as both clubs are English club) (Besides, it is not priority is wrong, it is simply you dont rate Ox. You think he is a bad player and you would question this transfer no matter what position he is. If that was Lemar coming and you probably will be pleased that we get another winger. The fact is our TC rated him and he is available at cheaper so that they get him.) To be honest, when I say more than 50M for Icardi, I dont think he is just 50M. It may be something about 60M or even more. Besides, buying italian strikers are always a risk b'coz there are lots of them cant adapt other league style. Klopp previously experienced one named immobile who look excellent in Italy but failed to adapt life and style in Germany. Wages is another issue as we all knew that FSG normally didnt pay a lot to wages. For Keita, I always believe that if we could get him in the summer we would cash in Emre Can to support part of the deal. We could not get him during summer and we have an agreement to get him next summer. The cash is not yet paid tho. I dont think getting him related to the budget of the current year's transfer. Keita was the best player in bundesliga last year and worth the price. He was the best player in Austria before he came to Bundesliga too. He is an all rounder who can dribble as long as tackle and definitely is a player who our team need. Reminded you that Kante was named as one season wonder too when Chelsea got him.
