I am reading rumours that we made a bid for Vrasjalko the out of favour Atletico Madrid right back. Obviously it can't be true at this point because nothing can be done until January. The point is there has to be a reason he can't get into the Atletico Madrid team. If something comes of this in January it will just seem like we are buying other teams cast offs.

He’s had a shocker since he joined them. Frankly speaking the problem is in the centre of our defence not the right. Not one of Matip, Lovren or Klavan has shown themselves to be of the sufficient quality and if Klopp thinks throwing Gomez into the lions den is the answer that’s poor management.


2.) 17 Dec 2017 09:46:04
Let reword it mr dennis. Klopp thinks putting our best defender there is the best solution. Gomez is more comfortable on the ball, is stronger and faster than the other 3 choices. That alone gives him the edge over the other 3 in our system.


3.) 17 Dec 2017 10:10:22
Throwing him into the lions den alongside any of those three could potentially destroy the lad. Getting regular football at right back at this stage is the best option long term, then moving him into the centre once he’s found his feet, like we did with Carragher. Carragher was lucky to have Hyypia to play alongside. Look at who Gomez has? It would be more sensible at this point to buy a top class centre back who strengthens us straight away than throwing in a rookie to play alongside the three worst centre backs in the league.


4.) 17 Dec 2017 15:30:02
I hate the term cast off, it’s disrespectful and ignorant.

De Bruyne and Salah were once chelsea’s “Cast offs”

Coutinho was once inters “cast off”.


5.) 17 Dec 2017 16:22:01
Massive difference between Coutinho, De Bruyne, Salah and Vrasjalko. Coutinho, De Bruyne and Salah were all top class talents who had been written off by their clubs at a young age, by contrast, Vrasjalko is in his mid twenties and has struggled at a higher level. There’s nothing special about him and doesn’t answer the problem we have in defence. If this is the best we can do, I wonder if our recruitment team either have any comprehension of our shortcomings and how to address them.


6.) 17 Dec 2017 22:33:59
You do all realise he plays CB aswell and did well in Italy, ACM have a very good defence not easy to get in.


7.) 18 Dec 2017 00:24:47
Except he’s poor in the air and not a very good centre back.


8.) 18 Dec 2017 03:50:18
Our scouting team begged klopp for Salah, so at least something amazing came out of a messed up transfer window and we actually have people at the club who know there onions, I am made up we got ox he's got character an ability that can get better, Robertson is a good left back as well.


9.) 18 Dec 2017 08:28:29
Crying out for a top class centre back, so we go after a mediocre right back who struggles to get games at Atletico because he can’t make the step up from Serie A to La Liga, makes absolutely zero sense to me whatsoever.

{Ed001's Note - or he could just not be settling in Spain or unable to unseat a partnership that has been built up over many years.}


10.) 18 Dec 2017 08:29:22
Hailstones, even a broken clock is correct twice a day.


11.) 18 Dec 2017 09:07:05
Wat u on about dennis.


12.) 18 Dec 2017 09:47:40
Ed001 are you aware of interest in him from us mate? I was assuming it was fabricated.

{Ed001's Note - I know we are after a right back, but I don't know of any interest in him specifically. I have asked but not heard back yet.}


13.) 18 Dec 2017 12:08:11
Ok. Cheers mate.

{Ed002's Note - Perhaps you should try the search engine before asking questions.}


14.) 18 Dec 2017 12:35:24
I did exactly thqt ED002 before I posted the question. The only post relating to him was in Dec were someone asked about us signing 4 or 5 players and you replied just No. Unless i've missed other posts on him and if so then I am sorry. I simply followed up to the initial post and asked ed001 if he was aware if we are interested in him at all.

{Ed002's Note - I dealt with it on December 13.}


15.) 18 Dec 2017 13:19:23
Cheers ed i've seen it now. It didn't come up typing it into the search engine but scrolled back through.

Reading a reply from ED02 that Salah is already pushing for a move to Real Madrid. He's not here a wet week for goodness sake.

Ford Long

Relax he's going nowhere.


2.) 20 Dec 2017 14:36:05
I'm not budging don't you worry.

Good win, can't have any complaints. Professional from start to finish.

Ford Long

1.) 17 Dec 2017 19:49:13
Agree with that, another clean sheet 👍.


2.) 17 Dec 2017 20:58:16
You happy again Ron mate? lol :)


3.) 17 Dec 2017 21:36:40
Brill. performance!


4.) 18 Dec 2017 00:28:56
WILL the real Ron please stand up ;)

Spur's and Burnley dropping points today so hopefully it's third time lucky and we take advantage tomorrow.

Ford Long

1.) 16 Dec 2017 20:44:05
Now when was the last time Liverpool actually took advantage?


2.) 16 Dec 2017 20:53:11
That why I used the words hopefully and 3rd time lucky.


3.) 16 Dec 2017 22:36:25
Hopefully my mate but got to get the job done tomorrow, last year showed with this fixture Bournemouth won’t give up so hopefully reds up for this tomorrow and get back in top 4.


4.) 16 Dec 2017 23:33:08
Not exactly on the same level as Leicester winning the league, but Burnley finishing top 4 would be something.


5.) 16 Dec 2017 23:33:29
I hope so, lads cos these draws are starting to do my head in.


 

 

13 Dec 2017 22:24:24
That didn't go to plan. A lot of huffing and puffing but no end product. Mane has really gone of the boil lately which is worrying. The only positive is the defence didn't do anything stupid for a change.

Ford Long

1.) 13 Dec 2017 22:29:02
Been thinking the same about mane, seems to be trying hard just not coming off.

I have to post this because it's really annoying me. Klopp will buy no one in January and I wish supporter's would stop saying we will sort it out in January. If Klopp buys a decent not even a world class CB in January I will donate € 100.00 to Ed01's favourite charity.

Ford Long

1.) 11 Dec 2017 19:31:08
any chance you can use this crystal ball you have to tell us how are season will go. FA Cup, CL, Prem?


2.) 11 Dec 2017 19:31:08
I haven’t heard anyone saying we will sort it in Jan and it’s not Klopp that buys players it’s the club. I’m sure he will have a list of targets in Jan, whether the club can and will buy them is anyone’s guess.


3.) 11 Dec 2017 19:53:17
Gotta remember the big thing will be not the club wanting to buy a player but that the player's club will want to sell mid season.


4.) 11 Dec 2017 20:33:52
Great. Make it out to Macmillan nurses. It will be a good start to the charity cup fund :)
(Vvd is coming )


5.) 12 Dec 2017 08:10:02
OP, is it possible that you wait till the TW in Jan is over before drawing that conclusion?

Thanks Ed. Just sounds a bit pointless that's all.

Just a question for the ED's on this. Why does it matter if a player has previously played in the competition for another team? Players go from team to team in the January window in the same league and can play away. Just curious.

{Ed002's Note - They are the rules. Lemar has played in the CL for Monaco so he is forbidden from playing for Liverpool.}

One good game against a team we dominated. I think you should wait until he has a run of consistently good games before you say " I told you so "

When are people going to realise Liverpool can't compete with City financially. It's all over the papers that VVD is going to City in January because Liverpool won't pay the £70 million transfer fee. I don't think it's a case of won't pay it's more a case of can't pay. I can't go into a dealership tomorrow and buy a £70,000 mercedes because I simply can't afford it. I think we are dodging a bullet in regards to VVD anyways.

Great in theory but Can and Coutinho would have to get rid of the inconsistency first.
