Hopefully we're not far off there. Signing the very best I mean. Say an Mbappe or Sancho in the next 2 years would mean we are imo.
We were laughed at when we bought Mane,Salah was not good enough for Chelsea, now they wished they have kept him. Jurgen Klopp can turn good player to better and better player. I am not sure if he can have the same effect on Thiago, but surely we have bought a good player .Thiago had the opportunity of going to Manchester United but he preferred Liverpool.
Crystal Palace have made an approach to sign Rhian Brewster. Palace want a permanent deal, which could mean a buyback clause is inserted to protect #lfc’s interest. Sheffield United are also interested in Brewster and may be more willing to accept the clause. #awlfc [@_pauljoyce]
**** me I did go and jinx it Ffs get a hold of yourself It’s all going to be okay I will be rocking in the corner until the lean....
Back up left back and Thiago is a great start to the window. Hopefully we get an attacker and a CB before the window closes ...
I can't remember the last we signed a genuine world class player who was in their prime. Maybe Markus Babbel? He was great player from what I remember until he was forced to quit.
I assume you mean he was past his best when he joined us? He had his best years at Bayern and was considered world class for a while
He wasn't forced to quit. He didn't actually retire until he was 35. He had to have a year out through illness whilst with us but some players miss a year through injury. Bit like with a serious injury, he wad never the same player after having Gillian-Barre Syndrome (thanks Google)
I'm sure it will be announced today at some point - most likely this evening. Talk about making a statement ...
Klopp interview live at present and he says Thiago is not yet completed and if he does join it does not have a negative effect on any other player.
