So what do we make of these William Carvalho rumours? Personally I can't quite believe this. Wrong position, powerful but not that quick.

He is a mixture of Kante and Matic. He is a bit slow. But brilliant on the ball. A hard tackler. I would assume Hendo might swap his position to play further up alongside this fellow. He is a good player.

Makes sense to me to shore up the defence. Lucas, Can and Stewart would be nervous though

No truth in it mate according to some guy called James Pearce.

He will not join this window 100% although there has been interest in him, I doubt he would even be signed in the summer

Wish we could get him in. much better than Emre and would mean Henderson could venture forward much more often with the knowledge his back is covered. I like Emre can but he's not quite there yet.
Fingers crossed but secretly know it ain't happening unfortunately

What on earth has Can done to deserve so much hate amongst "supporters".

Do people not remember that he was played out of position for pretty much the entire first season he was with us? Shoehorned into CB by Rodgers, after suffering quite a serious injury a few months after arriving.

He then got another injury and missed 6 games of the following season and has already missed 8 games of this season. All of which without getting a regular run in the team.

And he's 23! 23 years old. Maybe, just maybe, William Carvalho is better right now. But he is also a year older, he has only been out through injury once in his entire career, and has been playing every single week in his favoured position in a league that will make the better players look incredible.

People need to get some perspective. Writing someone off at 23 with his injury history and him playing an entire season in the wrong position is just ludicrous.

I still believe that Emre can be a great player, and he needs the support of the fans, he obviously loves being at the club and whilst that is still the case he has a chance to make it. The fans turn on him and he may as well pack his bags because he'll hate being here before long.

No hate Red dawn, But someone has to make space for a new midfielder and atm it looks like Can.

Why does someone have to make space? Why do we need a new midfielder?

There may not have been hate per se, but look through this site in the last week or so and search the web for Emre Can, Liverpool "fans" all over are calling for his head and I just don't get it.

Why kick him out to make room for someone who is not necessarily any better for the cost of yet another £30million + extras. It's lunacy.

Let the kid play some football and support him, he ain't going to improve with the fans on his back.

Henderson was the same when he came, bit raw, bit of a headless chicken but he's one of the first names on the teamsheet for me now.

We need someone who can seriously challenge our best midfield 3, and preferably one that can cover Hendo at the base of midfield, particularly with Stewart and Klopp still seemingly a bit off the pace yet.

Don't believe the Carvalho rumors but wouldn't be completely shocked if we were at least thinking about options, as it's a role the team will need filling in the summer when Lucas leaves.

I'd replace him with someone with more quality, that's my only issue with him, he lacks technical ability.


12.) 24 Jan 2017

Why do we need a new midfielder? Because we want to be better than we currently are. Coaching can only take a player so far and if we want to improve we'll need to make signings. Can has struggled this season, it could be a bad run of form or it could be he's simply not as good as we thought he was. If it's the latter then we should look for an upgrade.


13.) 24 Jan 2017

So when we want to be better we have to buy someone from somewhere else? Who says Can can't be a great player? He's only really had one proper season if you discount his injuries and the season he spent out of position. And he's 23? If he was still in Germany or Italy he would be viewed as one for the future, still a youngster.

Sad state of affairs if we are advocating getting rid of a 23yr old full international for the World Cup winners and 3rd ranked team in the world, and spending millions on someone just as unproven.

Jeez, Liverpool used to make great players, not purchase them.

I don't see the hate.

I see a player who is obviously struggling, and well off the pace.
In fact, he appears to be regressing, and making more and more mistakes each game.

I see a player who has not realized the potential he showed a few years ago, at Bayern.

Maybe he will come good, maybe not. None of us can predict the future. All I know is that right now, he is not at the level we need.

If it is due to lack of fitness, why is he starting?

Yes - Liverpool used to make great players. They also used to be ruthless with players who weren't good enough. Don't forget that part.

Dawn, transfers are an intrinsic part of progress, so yes we do need to buy to improve. That's not to say it's Can that needs replacing but Klopp will buy at least 2 new first 11 players this summer and someone will make room for them. Seeing how Can is one of the players struggling right now then he's in danger, as are a number of first team players.

I don't think any liverpool fan actually hates Emre can. he has his moments. Thought he did ok against man u for instance but I very much doubt he will grow into the footballer we'd like to see. Henderson for instance had a mediocre 1st season, lot of people slated him. But he's our captain and is a massive loss when injured or suspended. Could any liverpool fan say the same for Emre can really? I wouldn't sell him unless he wants to go but I certainly want a better option along side Henderson.
