Liverpool and Arsenal have a chance of landing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the summer providing they make a huge offer. The Borussia Dortmund striker attracted serious interest from both Premier League clubs during the January transfer window. Aubameyang has been in sensational form for the Bundesliga outfit, rattling home 26 goals in 25 games in all competitions. The Gabon striker is expected to re-emerge as a summer target, and Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke claims only ‘huge offers’ will be considered. “If an offer comes, then we need to discuss it,” Watzke said. “If it should go into the hundreds of millions, then we also need to talk to the player. "But I'm not worrying about it because at the moment we want to keep him as long as possible, best beyond 2020." Source: Express
Markovic comments for those not seen (cant be arsed checking back) On-loan Lazar Markovic has blamed former boss Brendan Rodgers for his move away from Anfield - and claims the Northern Irishman 'changed'. The Serbian winger is currently at Turkish club Fenerbahce, moving there in the summer after a mixed maiden season at Liverpool. The 21-year-old played 34 times for the Reds following his £20m move from Benfica, but started just 11 league games. He found himself out of favour at the start of this season under Rodgers, and believes the breakdown between the two was a contributing factor in his departure. “I had no problem with Brendan Rodgers and we had a bond until, for some reason that remains a mystery to me, he changed,” Markovic reportedly told Turkish newspaper Fanatik. “He stopped playing me and then at the start of the season he didn’t even include me in the squad, and nobody explained to me what was going on or what his plans were, so I decided to leave.” Markovic has caught the eye during his loan spell in Istanbul, registering two goals so far. The Serbian winger is at the Turkish club on loan until the end of the season The Serbian winger is at the Turkish club on loan until the end of the season His side could meet Liverpool at some point in the Europa League, and Markovic is eyeing reaching the final with his current employers. Fenerbahce face Lokomotiv Moscow in the last 32. “We want to win both games but I actually have my sight set on the final and that is my aim,” added Markovic, who missed Benfica's Europa League final against Chelsea in 2013 through suspension. “We know what we are capable of and know we are more than able to make it to the final.”
Brod was nice, then he stopped playing Marko, so Marko threw a strop and buggered off to Turkey. Now he wants to win the EL.
summary: "“He stopped playing me and then at the start of the season he didn’t even include me in the squad, and nobody explained to me what was going on or what his plans were, so I decided to leave.” So at the first reversal you decided to spit the dummy and run off elsewhere rather than work for your chance.
Well, I suppose that's why we wouldn't splash the cash: did we take time out and ask ourselves if he was actually worth that much after our previous disasters? Benteke wasn't, nor was Carroll. Frankly, we haven't seen Teixiera play that much for us, so how do we know if he is actually worth what Shaktha were asking? IMO they've been a tad greedy knowing we need someone. Someone said on Twitter we were greedy asking £75 mill for Suarez; maybe, but we know he was worth it and so did Barca. Just a shame for Tex himself knowing he wants to stay with us.
We needed strength at the back, midfield and I'm sorry, in goal. Mignolet is a disaster waiting to happen. I can see why we didn't buy strikers, but if Klopp is putting all his eggs into the Sturridge basket...
That's fair. Looking back, which is always easier then the warning signs should be very well known. Carroll had an injury and a rep. He lived up to both. Teixeira has a solid record. Not injured and has scored in cl.... so we got OK 25mil but 38? **** off basically. The question is are we learning at all from these errors.
It seems so if we didn't go for it; then again we do need to strengthen and just settling for a free re: Caulker and buying that other feller for £5 million then immediately relending him back to his club isn't good enough. The summer window will be closely monitored by all LFC fans this year and unfortunately the first to be judged on it won't be FSG it'll be Klopp.
My view on caulker is he was done after we failed to get a deal elsewhere and it was risk avoidance with toure skertl, lovern injuries... plus sahko looking a crock. I don't really care about it as long as its not done permenantly. You are right klopp will be judged on it.

Klopp saw the hoofball he has to put up with in the PL and said get me someone who has played in the PL and can head the ball
