The best thing is that the media gave zero clue on what Klopp wants. Written by the echo a few weeks ago:

"Klopp sees Flanagan as an important part of the squad and feels Smith is a more than capable alternative to Moreno."
Either that or the club are selling players without his consent in order to keep the books straight?
 
We are surely signing someone now... Smith, Randall and Flanagan leaves Clyne and Moreno. Not counting TAA as he's unlikely to play.

It's a banker. No problem. Someone has probably almost put pen to paper for these deals to have been sanctioned <ok>
 
Hope he goes and shows the form he did 3 years ago and comes back to make that full back spot his own. Probably needs a loan and s full year of playing, whist hope he gets lots of opportunities there this year.
 
Not having a go mate. You know I have no sense of humour. <ok>

I do agree that it's very risky to be selling the dross without cover but I'm hoping Klopp has something up his sleeve.

Moreno isn't worse than Flanno - neither are defensively great and you can quote me on that.
I didn't think you were. <ok>
Things would be dull on here if we all agreed on everything, and I'm just giving my side of the argument in my own way.
I usually don't agree with your assessment of the relative importance of different qualities of players. I think I attach more value to solidity in defensive areas. Flair is good in certain areas, but you need to be able to rely on your defenders.
And, there is always a place for workers and water-carriers in a team - they help the more talented thrive, and cover for them when they screw up.

Flanno has a bit to learn, but I think he may be able to do that. Bert is just brainless, and I can't see him ever getting it right (though I hope I'm wrong).

I just think as of now lfc have if we are lucky 3 cbs, one barely in training. One rb and one liability at lb.

Irrespective of whos gone out we dont look in good shape at all at the back.

Could be worse, could be Arsenal with the only CB available being Chambers and Holding who just helped Bolton get relegated from Chanpionship!
 
And which of those options do you consider the most likely?
Not sure, I tend to think of Klopp as a pretty honest straightforward guy not a two faced ****. That said, he could have been very honest with the players themselves but fed bullshit to the press to keep their price up.
On the comment I made, it always seems to be the case at your club that you have to claw as much money back as possible after spending big, you have made two big purchases so far this summer perhaps the Yanks have said time to claw some back before we spend more? (and that is without the wage bill)

Usually I fart in the general direction of your pessimism, but I do think we're seriously lightweight in this regard. I really hope there's stuff going on behind the scenes or we'll be back to trying to win every game 6-5.

They would be idiots to spend a load of money on players only to undermine the club's chances of success by leaving us unbalanced for the sake of clawing back a few quid.
Even if they're only in it for the money, it's in their own interest for the club to do well.
Maybe Klopp meant it at the time and changed his mind - who knows? But the media spouting a load of auld shyte seems the most plausible explanation in the absence of any actual evidence.
 
Finnan & Arbeloa were proven class. I always thought Rob Jones was going to be a superb player, but injury intervened so he never reached his full potential.

Gary Neville would have a lot less England caps had Jones not been screwed by injuries.

Jimmy's idea of "great" is getting shot of everyone he happens to dislike. Whether or not it's beneficial to the club doesn't really enter into it. <laugh>

Nah, he just doesn't like scousers (Flanno, Lucas is an adopted scouser, he didn't like Carra or Gerrard either) . It's [HASHTAG]#racism[/HASHTAG]


Well, I was kidding - but seriously I don't think he's that poor. He's not great either and we need better, but it's madness to get rid unless you've got someone better or have him lined up.
I think Moreno is desperate and much more of a liability than Flanno but I wouldn't turf him out unless we had a replacement.

Flanno has the heart, desire and passion that every player can only dream of. Sure, he's not the greatest player in the world (I never claimed he was) but nor was Carra, he just put his abilities to best use and that's exactly what I thought Flanno could do. As a player capable of playing both sides too, it's crazy to let him go UNLESS we have others lined up to arrive.

Hope he goes and shows the form he did 3 years ago and comes back to make that full back spot his own. Probably needs a loan and s full year of playing, whist hope he gets lots of opportunities there this year.

Same. How he has a cracking season. If he doesn't return then career too. He'll always have my support and respect.

This probably isn't the best place for him then, tbh. :)
