Agree with all of this. A solid GK and CB sorts out the back line. Throw in a DM with Keita joining too and that'll be a very solid midfield. A forward would give us options and a chance to rest players.
He's good too, very, very good. Probably only De Gea is better right now. Just not sure I see it happening for some reason. Gut feeling is we'll have Karius at the start of the season. I'm hoping Mingolet ****s off so we HAVE to buy a keeper.
I can't see Mignolet sitting on the bench come 31st August (or whenever the deadline is). Anyone else reckon we need a creative mid? I would have loved Suso but not sure he's really up for it. Alternatively - Nabil Fekir. He can play across the front line and in behind the striker.
I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make. Are you saying Karius is or isn’t competent? 4m and 10m is barely any difference in grand scheme of things. You said we should buy a competent keeper. We have 2 of them so why buy another who is of similar standard. If you want to improve thebsquad don’t buy a keeper of similar standard to Karius as we end up in same situation here. How many keepers are out there for £10m that would be better than Karius? He market has gone up and a good keeper is worth his weight in gold so no surprise they are now being suggested to cost similar prices to a decent defender or midfielder.
LFC team in SF: Karius: 4mil TAA: youth Lovren. vastly expensive at time but only one good year VVD: vastly expensive Robertson: 8mil. from relegated team Henderson: 16mil - called too expensive Milner: free windy: 25mil - again relegated club. even ox 37 mil or something is critised mane - 34 mil firmino -29 mil salah 39 mil I think we are told every time these players can't work or are just ****.
Liverpool have earned €78m to date from Champions League, which would increase to €83m if they win the trophy. Real Madrid have earned €83m to date, rising to €87m if they triumph. #LFC #RealMadrid
I'd be happy with Jorginho. Versatile midfielder and frankly any brazillian that has Rafa Benitez's seal of approval must be good enough for Liverpool imo
It would be nice to get all those positions, but I'd rather concentrate on improving a couple of positions with the best available than spread the money out... ... Unless we're financially able to buy the best available in all those positions.
I dunno, I suppose I am saying what separates merely competant from potential to be top class? When we bought salah did people expect a fab 4 or was he cover in some minds? Now he is coutinho who?the king of Egypt and a global star. I am I suppose saying that for 35mil, I and you know but and isn't ever going to be a work due. So I think we should go and find one, we win t buy one ready made. If karius improvement is dodgy as **** to consistent but he still palms stuff out then ok he has improved. Who is to say we can't buy a guy from round Europe for whatever and while he is less recognised is still got the potential. I suppose it boils down to shopping in cl for oblak or allison is no value to Liverpool and there's competition who will just pay more wages.
I had no expectations with Salah. Nether good nor bad. I do remember thinking him "wasteful" in his first couple of games. . He was getting in good positions all the time and squandering some excellent chances. That has changed. He obviously started to convert those chances fairly early on.
i think you should stop listening to those voices in your head no way were all of them considered in the way you state at the end though loads of people had doubts about the amount spent on them i.e. VVD and some of them most people knew little or nothing about them - you would have thought Salah went on holiday for a few years between leaving Chelsea & joining us they way our press behaved. Whilst being of a "frugal" nature the thing i like about our new transfer system is that if we spend big we know Klopp is fully on board so there is a plan on how to use the signing in our system unlike the situation with Rodgers & the transfer committee .
Perhaps but I'm sure all in all the total will be higher than that with various marketing etc. The players do deserve a bonus tbf. Plus living on 100k a week must be tough.......!
