Any truth in these Ruben Neves rumours?

If so that would be a truly outstanding signing.

Believable0 Unbelievable2

{Ed002's Note - Two other clubs will be battling it out for Neves.}

10 Oct 2015 21:08:38
I sincerely hope you are wrong on that one.

I am assuming one is Chelsea, who is the other?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Real Madrid with interest from Manchester City and PSG. Is this from Twitter?}

I have never watched him before but looking at the teams after him I'm sure he is good

It was in the papers earlier in the year, maybe a recycled rumour. Or maybe because Graeme Kelly mentioned his name.

Every top club in Europe have scouted Nevez, and Porto know this. He will cost an absolute fortune and have his pick of top clubs in a few countries. I don't expect Liverpool to be one of them.

He is a central midfielder, and LFC have Henderson, Allen, Can, Lucas and Milner there. Klopp just came in, and I can't imagine any sort of interest would be shown this early.

He is 18! If he do come in, I hardly think he would be guaranteed game time at the expense of our existing midfield!

If he was good enough and turns out to be consistently better than what we've got (a la Martial at United) then great, we get an upgrade.

With a new manager in charge, there are no sacred cows

Real AG. Just because there's X amount of mids there means nowt . Not one we have can control a game

To answer the question, the rumour is everywhere. My Mum even asked me.

As to us having players for CM already, yes we do. Not one of them is a DM in the style of Busquets. He is.

As to being ready, yes he is. He could play tomorrow, he is that good.

And maybe this would get what everyone apparently wants. Joe Allen sold back to Swansea. Would there be room then?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - By "everywhere" I assume you mean all over Twitter. As I have explained - the interest is there from elsewhere and not from Liverpool.}

Ed002 do you think JK will have money for January or will he have to make do till the summer?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of Liverpool looking to do anything in January at this time - Klipperty has not even met the players. The one player they were seeming looking at was of interest to the old regime. Also the club would need to make space for any incoming players.}

10 Oct 2015 19:14:17
What player is that ed?

Would klipo be interested?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Dani Ceballos - but nothing will happen with Liverpool.}

Realistically, I can't see Klopp buying in January. Window opens on 02 Jan - that's only about 11 weeks away. He's not even going to meet half our team for another week. Not enough time for him to make proper appraisal of what he's got let alone go into the market for more.

I can see a couple of players being shown the door - but literally only a couple, but January is probably too soon for him to start buying.

Summer I think there will be a major clear-out (we have far far too many players) and maybe - but not necessarily, a small number of high quality in-comers to raise the average quality of the squad.

Agree5 Disagree1

I don't think we have far too many players really. Hopefully we keep fighting in all four competitions and I'd only say a few are surplus to requirements, as in Allen, maybe lallana but any others out would need replacements on my opinion. Markovic would come back in for lallana maybe, I think he's good but he's better in the middle and coutinho and firmino are ahead of him there. But with hendo injured we have. Three Cms in can Milner and Lucas with Allen sub. Depending on whether we play 2 up front or 1 then we may have to lose origi (on loan) but that's about it without replacement for me

Agree1 Disagree3

I think Milner, Lallana and Allen are too poor really. They haven't really showed anything. I know if Coutinho did leave for Barca Lallana would be a back up CAM, but i don't think he's good enough for our squad and Dortmund and Klopp seemed to be good at finding gems for low prices the champions league finalist squad costing 30m is crazy. Hopefully he will do the same at Pool. Idk really how much the signings worked at Dortmund, but hopefully klopp and the staff he brings in can find some real talent. I think Marko should come back after the season away and possibly buy a proper world class wide man! Ibe looks like he will need more time, you never know Klopp might turn him into a top player fairly quickly, he looked great last season but something not quite right this season. PLus as he always goes outside he's fairly predictable now i think. I don't think Origi should be in the squad yet personally just purely i'd rather have ings given the opportunity. Unless Studge and ben are both injured. i'm excited for firmino to actually play and for us to play without 5 at the back. Jesus that football was boring.

Agree with your last points alistair but until we see what Klopp can bring out of Milner and Llalana I'd reserve judgement, both have energy and passion for the game, and Llalana has shown he can has the feet to handle tight spaces and has a good first touch and ability to score. Milner is a workhorse and a bit more, will work well in an aggressive pressing system, and hasn't exactly been in a well structured setup that makes the most of his abilities yet.

On the downside Allen I'm afraid we should be moving on, he doesn't offer enough in defence, nor in attack. He's a possession/passing machine, and you don't need that in swift transition football. If we can move him on making 10-15mln to strengthen at DM, CB or GK then it's an obvious one for me. If we can get in any of Bender, Hummels or Leno in return plus a bit extra I'd be very happy.

Couple of quid an Allen for hummels. It's Jurgen Klopp not bloody houdini. Let's get real folks he hasn't even met the squad yet!

Agree5 Disagree1

I wouldn't judge any players performance from last or this season to date.

Klopp will assess what he has and I'm sure will remove those that aren't needed.

Agree0 Disagree0

Wow! It's unbelievable the amount people are on about players at the moment.
Klopp will need to see, meet and assess all members of the squad before even looking at transfers. i'm sure he has a few names in his head that he thinks would be good in any team. But we know how Klopp and his team work, they don't go for the player who has already made it, they look for the player of tomorrow.
I think the first place he will be looking at is the defence. He mentioned in his interview that a strong defence is the starting point.
So possibly a central Defender or 2? a Def Mid? a new GK? We don't know, and he's probably not sure until he's assessed the current players.
As Edds have already mentioned, the squad is too big and we need to meet the ffp regs which we are not doing at this time!
So let's see what Klopp can do with the current squad before decimating it into nothing. Not onl do we have a fairly good starting 11 and bench, but we have a lot on youngsters waiting for their chance, and by the sounds of it, everybody will get the chance to prove themselves!

Im still not over the amazement that we managed to get Klopp, never mind thinking of players.
Be patient, and give him time to apply his way to the team, and if it's not working with the players he's got available, he will need to see if there is cash available, or strat selling off a lot of the players he doesn't like to raise funds.

Give the Eds a break, yes, we'd all love some of the big names mentioned, but our squad is not that bad, let him work with that and let's see what happens
