Klopp just dismissed the Pato rumours in the Arsenal pre-game press conf. With these words "My private advice to you is don't follow the Pato path any longer. ".

{Ed001's Note - maybe finally people will listen now he has said it too! I have become bored of telling people it is not happening.}

Really annoying that all the papers etc are reporting it as a done deal. what is the point in this?! Also saying we are bidding for praet? Assume this is bs too. Best just 2 wait until window closes and then we will all know for sure. I personally don't think we will sign anyone.

{Ed002's Note - Interest in Anderlecht's Dennis Praet has run hold and cold for a while and the likes of Ajax, Everton, Southampton, Hoffenheim, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Dynamo Moscow have moved on in the past year. Both Sevilla and Valencia had offers rejected in the summer whilst Aston Villa were also being kept informed by Anderlecht of any approaches for the player. and I suspect they might be first to put an acceptable offer on the table. Juventus were represented at a couple of games but were, I understand, unconvinced by the player. Arsenal has again looked atin recent weeks, once they new that there would be a January bid from elsewhere, but I am not aware of them taking it any further. However, Fiorentina has had several meetings with representatives of the player and Anderlecht - and are seemingly getting to the point where an agreement over a January transfer can be reached. If Liverpool are again interested in the player, and I am not so sure why they would want to bring in yet another attacking midfield player at the time, he may well provide a suitable replacement for Coutinho if he were to leave.}

Ed. wouldn't be a transfer window without the done deal on every player ever mentioned who still kicks a ball today.

{Ed002's Note - The media do this to the Liverpool fans as they are gullible and easy to tease. Everybody knows this is just a nebelwand from Klipperty.}

{Ed002's Note - Down graded from "done deal" to "nailed on" Lavers.}

Don't know how you put up with it Eds, for weeks you've been saying Pato isn't going to join Liverpool, every day, posters still ask you about him, perhaps now they will pick a new player they have in their X-box/ PlayStation games team and rack your brains about them now until the end of the transfer window.

I remember when someone said, categorically, that we weren't signing Mario Balotelli.

Te hee.

Sorry, just being facetious.

Even though it was never going to happen neither did I want or think it we was going to sign Pato.
Allow to give my opinion as to why some may of believed the rumour. Pato as we know did once have potential, potential not realised. Pato is injury prone. Pato will be over priced and Pato will under deliver. Sounding familiar yet?

In summary Pato is a modern day Liverpool fc player he ticks all the boxes, sad but true in the words of Rafa " these are facts"

Klopp might be creating a smokescreen. We haven't had one of them yet this window.

And I know - Klopp is a smokescreen. Don't worry guys, we are getting Pato and Gary Monk this week, along with Ashley Williams for old time's sake.

To be honest the rumours have also said we are buying the German national team too, pinch of salt stuff. Don't want Pato anyway, it would seem he has not met the potential everyone gave him and at £11mil! I would rather stay within FIFA FFP.
The Eds and some posters know what is and isn't happening, so I take them for what they say. Nothing is definite as the club does not seem to like giving any confirmation until the deal is done - lest we forget the Willian transfer to Tottenham, oh sorry no Chelsea!
Don't always buy what the media and press are selling.
It does make for an interesting transfer window though, the will we won't we and are they worth it or not. love it!
Thanks for the info as always Eds and all, can't wait to see what's next.

Managers are fond of saying the opposite while negotiations undrway. So probably klopp has given it away - Pato is indeed coming.
