Costa is a very good player. I cannot vouch for his character. Don't know why Antonio Conte has not got on with him.

Because he tried to derail our season when he wanted to leave.

To be honest i was very surprised by their falling out afterwards because conte persisted with him afterwards. I would have thought they would have made up. I guess Conte didn't want that situation to happen again and it's all escalated when conte told him he wasn't needed anymore
 
If we sell Couthino and nobody else in, we've stood relatively still.

Our over-riding priority imo was defence. If we don't add here, it's been a poor window tbh.

Cheer up mate. We haven't bothered defending for a long time now.
To me it's more a case of philosophy than personnel. Imo, VvD will improve our defence, but he won't suddenly transform it into an impenetrable wall.
I agree that a solid defence would improve the success rate, but I don't really see us abandoning the all-out attack method.
Also, progress isn't necessarily dependent on the importing of big names all the time.
Just go with it, whatever happens. <ok>

From 'one great club to another great club'
Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain joins Liverpool

More from Jurgen Klopp on signing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain...

“I hear a lot of talk about positions but let's talk about the player; he is someone with really good abilities who always gives everything for his team," said the Reds boss. "A player that is positive and willing to take risks to try and make positive things happen.

“He may still be young but he has a lot of experience in the Premier League, Champions League and for his country. Already he is a very, very good player and I think he has the mentality and desire to get even better - and that excites me.

“This is someone making a tough decision to leave one great club and come to another great club and I think he had many options, so to get him means I am delighted."
