Theres a few he can :)

Keeps...
Regardless of what we think of Mings, he likes him enough to give him a contract..
Clyne best English RB?
Sahko
I'm biased, I like Moreno..
Can
Hendo
Coutinho
Firmino (the lad will come good, can feel it in my bones..)
Sturridge, his bad luck with injuries will surely end??? If so, I want us to benefit from it!
Gomez looked good before he got injured, putting in decent performances in not his best position..
Ibe, needs to work on his end product and look up a bit quicker, but the boys good!

Keep as Squad Player
Danny Ward by all accounts, the guy is a bit decent, could/should give Mings a tougher time in keeping the #1 spot.
Milner (he'll do a job as a squad player)
Ings (modern Dirk, everyone needs a Dirk!)
Flanno good back to Clyne!
Smith, good back to Moreno, like what I've seen of the lad so far..
Origi, slow start, but was starting to look good, shame about the injury..
Markovic, hopefully Klopp can do something with him..
Marko, potential for now, could take time to adjust to the league..
Lovern, turning in some decent performances.. at last!
Lallana, he's in-between Squad and Sell for me, does a job but if someone is stupid enough to offer 15M plus, I'd take it!
I'm sure I'm missed a few players but not a bad squad to work with, liked the look of a few of the kids that played against Exeter, sure they could do a job in the Cups to start with..

Sell...
I don't want to sell him, I'm biasd and like the lad, Lucas, if we get a decent DM then he could be surplus to requirements.
Joe Pirlo, regardless of how awesome his beard looks, he's too inconsistent..
Skrtel, when all are fit, not sure he'd get back in now and thats before we address the CB issue in the summer..
Bogdan, don't sell, give away..
Kolo, well, he's out of contract, but who doesn't love Kolo, thanks Kolo <ok>
Benteke, unless he has a stellar end of the season, get rid to anyone offer £20M plus...
Wisdom, don't think the lad will cut it here..
Ilori, because this will piss off Jimmy

So, from that.. Klopp needs to look at brining in a...
CB..
LB if he doesn't think Smith (or even Moreno) is up to it..
D/CM..
Playmaker/#10, and a
Striker..

Don't want over flow, rather get just 4 players in the above position that are quality!!
The quantity approach of the past seasons has not worked!

all i'd say is thats fine until you look at the real weakness that we have and thats 3 no 10s playing behind a striker and playing terribly narrow.

I would just contend we need a winger.

couitnho career stalle
Suarez fired ut for biting
agger young unknown

In case anyones missed it

caulker - career stalled
Grujic - young unknown.


We've gone and done the usual.

If you are looking for a big star moving it rarely happens. e.g. mata - fired out by mourinho and they laughed at fee paid.

And...?

I couldn't give a **** what they've done previously. If they can do a job for us then why not?
 
I wouldn't mind Berahino... he kicked up a fuss and hasn't played much this year as punishment but when he's played he's scored... he's young, he knows where the back of the net is and he has pace. Can also play wide if needed in an emergency.

Caulker is quite clearly a committee player recommended to Klopp as a short term option... he wouldn't have even known who Caulker is and would have only seen him once when we demolished them 6-1 so doubt he came to them saying I want this guy.

Yesterday thought was a joke.. but I guess it makes some sort of sense. No point going out buying a squad player now when we're going tog et 3 injuries back in the next few weeks as well as having Ilori. Does mean when all fit we'll have Skrtel, Lovren, Sakho, Toure, Ilori, Caulker. 6 CB's for 1 half of a season.

They aren't big names <ok>

Doesn't mean you can't get value but think original point was big name players don't move in January often so people hoping for a top class CF now might be disappointed.

I'm not a fan of Berahino but then, I've got previous for disliking players and they came good for us too <laugh>

Only way I'd consider it is if there was a contractual clause saying he had to change agents.

He sacked Aidy Ward so not an issue <ok>

Raheem Sterling’s controversial agent Aidy Ward has been sacked by West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino.

Ward has become the villain of the piece for many Liverpool fans as Sterling and Liverpool’s bitter rift continues to be played out in public, with the player seemingly set on forcing a move away from Anfield

I have no idea what angle you're coming from here. I originally mentioned them to show you can get quality in the January window. Not sure how you can claim Suarez wasn't a big name either.

This was the original post "All (majority) the big transfers happen in the Summer window, very rarely do you get a big player moving in Jan (nowadays)..
The fact we aren't in the market ties in with what Klopp has said from the start, he wants to assess the entire squad before deciding who he can trust and who he can't.."

You listed Agger, Sturridge & Cout and MITO mentioned how Agger was a young player and the other 2 careers had stalled... wouldn't class them as "big" transfers.

Yes Suarez was but as per original point, majority of big name transfers happen in summer. Like I said though, doesn't mean you can't get value as per the ones you mentioned.
 
Agree that there is value in January if we're lucky.

But if not, it's good that we're not panic buying (so far) thus saving ourselves for summer.

Reports indicated that Klopp wanted Matip in January and was willing to pay a nominal fee. Schalke said no so we'll get him the summer, and caulker fills a gap until then.

Coutinho and Suarez were big names when we signed them.

There is no argument that Suarez was a big name, he'd already become world famous following the world cup quarter-final handball too.

the majority of big signings do happen in the summer but then, the summer is much longer than one month too so you'd expect more to happen.

I actually think there can be more value in January, especially when there is a big tournament on the following summer like this year. Players that are out of favour want to move and play so they stand a chance of being involved in the forthcoming international tournament.

great point.... I'm just pointing out the TYPE OF TOSSING TRANSFER WE HAVE GOT IN TOSSING JANUARY AND HOW THIS YEAR IS NOT TOSSING DIFFERENT REALLY.

Just cos agger turned up one year doesn't mean the prior or next player will work or not.

don't forget some guys can be cup tied..

don't forget there is a strong probability toure can't hack 90mins at all

don't forget hamstring injuries have a high recurrence rate.

I think caulker is of limited utility to us. The league cup is over bar hopefully 2 games. He is not cup tied for FA cup... i dont think he's available for europa.. so he is for league games only

Of course, hence me also mentioned Andy Carroll.

However, to just dismiss the January window off because it has no value is very ignorant imo.
