The boys over at Salford Quays are not prepared to mention Lemar wanting to move to LFC instead of Arsenal on their rolling deadline day blog.

Goes against their policy to not report positive news about LFC.<laugh>

Coutinho is in their banner at the top of the transfer page despite there not being a single update about him today (or for ages)
 
You pushed Palace too hard thinking they'd capitulate at the death and they've obviously called your bluff and ****ed you clean off.

Leaving you with a £25m CB on £80k a week sat in your stiffs.

Stop being negative.

The club told you we would not bid on vvd way back (with apology to our friends)

The club told you coutinho is going nowhere


Ok.. thats the situation.

We bought ox and sold nobody so squad is not weaker. Its just not stronger par se.

Not negative...just pragmatic

Ok, I accept if we keep Couthino the squad is stronger in the attacking positions. If we sell him (which I still think we will) and don't replace him...it's weaker imo. We'll soon find out.

If we were serious about not bidding on VvD way back in June then it is shocking that we haven't found and bid on another CB.

I would accept it is stronger if Klopp brings Sahko back into the fold though....that would be interesting and necessary imo.

Sorry, but scoring goals wasn't our problem last year.....keeping them out was. We have signed one LB for 8 million and 3 forward players! This does not address our problems. That's not negative, that's factual.

Everything can change before 11pm though <ok>
 
See, Still no mention of Liverpool.<laugh>

BREAKINGSanchez deal in jeopardy

Manchester City's bid to sign Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez looks to be over.

It is understood that a conditional agreement was reached in principle between City and Arsenal for Sanchez to move to the Etihad Stadium.

The fee was £55m, plus £5m in add-ons.

But it depended on Arsenal first securing a replacement to fill the gap left by the 28-year-old.

Their target was Monaco winger Thomas Lemar and an agreement was reportedly reached between the clubs for a fee in the region of £90m.

However, it is thought that the 21-year-old France international decided against the move.

City are currently not prepared to resurrect the deal by offering a player in exchange or more money for a straight cash deal.

Barring a remarkable last-minute turn of events Sanchez, who wanted to join City to be reunited with his former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola, will stay at Arsenal.

McCunty crying into his pint:

Everton still searching for the quality striker Ronald Koeman wanted to help fill the gap left by Romelu Lukaku's departure - no joy yet. Everton have got so much right in this window but this was/is arguably the key deal to whether they can make serious progress.

Poor Monaco being torn apart.

Sky talking about how psg are getting around ffp with it being a loan.... yeah, and? Chelsea got round ffp by buying **** tonne of young players beforehand, loaned them out then sold them to make net spend low.

If psg cant afford it, UEFA will pick it up when they review their finances so don't know why everyone getti so worked up.
 
Why? Sakho won't play for us so makes no difference if we get another cb or not.
This. Klopp clearly doesn't want him and wont play him, so whats the point in keeping when there is money to be made.

Put it this way, the money made on Sakho could now be put into another bid, perhaps Lemar or VvD (should ever get over that crap apology)
 
I am also thoroughly annoyed that we haven't bothered signing another CB if the VVD deal is dead. I don't think we have done enough to suggest that our defence will be significantly improved.

Apparently PSG have signed Mbappe. Could potentially look for some last minute deals with them so that they stay within FFP.
