Yeah, and he was referring to Adam coming to us, as you well know. Page 32, paragraph 12a of Diego's Big Book of LFC Taunts.
Konate seems to be a rumour that won’t go away - good player like but another Matip with injury record. I assume that Matip will leave VvD and Gomez return, Both may suffer a spate of further injuries that you often see after such big injuries and an extended lay off. I would not include Gomez in our 4 CB’s. If Philips stays, it can only be as #4....even then, I’d try to replace him. So fir me, we need 2 quality CB’s and if one is injury prone, keep Phillips as back up. 1. VvD 2. ? 3. ? 4. Kabak ?. Gomez ?. Philips sell/release. Matip, Williams we also need midfielders, forwards and proper full backs. alternatively we can all just pray for an injury free season
no way are we buying 3 CB's and if Robbo isn't a proper full back i'm not sure what is . With the Covid impact on our revenues i think it may be a quieter window than many expect unless we pick up some players in distress sales or one of our big assets is .
which is why Phillips will stay....for now. and I mean full backs that can support or even challenge Robbo and TAA because right now, we absolutely do not have this.
Oh and unfortunately, I agree that it is likely to be a quiet window unless we sell our prize asset - Salah.
No sanctions announced yet for Real and Barcelona. They could get a European ban which would rule them out as likely suitors for Salah and I can't see him going anywhere else.
Klopp needs to show ruthlessness. Whatever he does has to be blended with us knowing we will either fail hard in the top 4 run in or that we will be in the cl. Until we know either way its tough to call what is needed. If we have europa next year there is a strong case for keeping a lot of players just even to do the job there. Overall thought quality of the first 11 comes first so I agree with the sentiment above. 2 cbs coming back with massive scars on their knees is hardly a recipe for long term staying fit. Add in gomez always has a mistake in him and I would happily see a new rcb come in. However being realistic I can see us making so and claiming we have fixed matip (which wont be the case)
We have Neco and The Greek (should be a band name), and although there may be room for improvement I doubt that this will be seen as a priority. More urgency will be given to the CB issue. We could also do with some bugger to score some goals, but I think Klopp will believe he can resurrect the form of the ones he's got. The way the financial situation is, I think anyone who's expecting a splurge is going to be mightily disappointed.
They won't get a European ban. The others have had a slap on the wrist with a 1.6m fine and 5% of next European taking, that's packet change to these clubs.
the others have grovelled , pledged loyalty to UEFA and its competitions which they haven't and up till now are still holding out foe ESL .
I doubt they'll get a ban simply because they are the biggest draw but they will get a much stiffer penalty than the other clubs. For two clubs in serious financial woes, it could have the same effect in terms of not being an option for Salah.
