Don't judge him before he has played. Phillips looked very good as he had better players around him and if this guy is a bit better he might flourish with the guidance and training of Klopp and the players he will be playing with. I'm just glad we are bringing someone in but obviously will wait until its confirmed by the club.

Well, according to Lawrenson, he will he last choice, and will hardly play.... https://www.deepdaledigest.com/news/mark...-for-liverpool/

If the player goes to another pl club and performs for that amount of money all of us will be complaining about missing that opportunity. Obviously it's a gamble but it's a position that needs addressing by any means necessary.

I hope so because apparently he was not even our first choice cheapie, anyway, it looks like with FSG we have become beggars, so cannot be choosers, let's pray and hope for the better

Give the lad a chance to play a game before we write him off.
This might be good news because VVD could be coming back sooner and we could be getting quality replacements in the summer.
As for moaning about FSG well I have been saying that for years they don't have the resources to run a top class club with ambition which I assume we are

Nobody should be looking at this like we have signed another Van Dijk. This was simply buying a half decent defender who could possibly do a job and perhaps help us get fab and hendo back in midfield.
we were never going to go out and sign Koulibaliy or upamecano, we do not operate like that, just not going to happen. Whether it's about money or not Klopp would not want a 70 mil defender playing for half a season only to stink the place out next year when there's no game time anymore.
Also playing in our system isn't always suited for someone to just swoop in and pick it up right away so your 70 mil defender may play quarter of a season at best.

Of course it's close to impossible to get another VVD who we bought for 85m i think, but you can definitely get someone better than both Gomez and Matip and for less than half the price? Do you think we could sell Matip or Gomez for 40m, I don't think so. By the way, rumours are that we are after a second CB.

No I don't think that, was more just trying to hammer home the point that if anyone was thinking we were going to sign a marquee CB they would be dissapointed. As for getting anyone around Gomes/Matip quality for decent money I don't really know enough about that. I don't know about players available and I think this would be a difficult market, I still think getting someone in like that would be difficult for us the way we operate. Just not sure us going out and buying anyone for around 40 mil mark was ever on the cards.
