KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum January Transfer Rumours

A couple of CB's I'd say ,made my mind up that Matip isn't good enough either.

I think Matip will be good with someone better beside him. But if we got 2 CB's (i'd be amazed) and had Matip as back up that would be ideal.

Maybe but its always a worry when we start saying he'll be OK with someone who can defend properly beside him.

Yeah but even the best in the world would struggle to look good with Lovren beside them. If by some miracle Klopp pulls his head out of his arse and BT’s a defender like VVD or similar quality, I think Matip will be ok. But with two good CB’s and Matip I think we’d be ok.

I got a bit of stick here for saying that some time ago. He was never good enough for a club aspiring to be at the top level. He's half decent but not Liverpool standard, unless we accept mid table status, something I will never accept.

I agree Herc. Matip is decent but not dominant. I would be really excited at the prospect of signing two strong, intelligent defenders who had some pace.

He is completely different to Coutinho, I would think Lemmar is a better replacement for the latter but who knows what Klopp has in mind

Maybe our outstanding scouting team didn't know about him then?

Yeah, so would I, especially if we also add Naby and also the likes of this Goretza assuming he's as good as reported. Then we could expect to compete at the top level. We've been crying out for a decent defence and midfield for yonks. Instead we've been signing prospects!

If you was the player, would you want to do a transfer deal with a year left on your contract, or would you wait until your contract expires and you can negotiate for yourself, Can is in a similar situation.
