Ian Doyle now reporting it is likely LFC will sign a cb before Monday. the question is who and if they have time to get it done. got to be a priority with what seems another lengthy injury to matip.

given ed2's responses earlier, I wonder where the money would be coming from and who they would be signing. I just can't see anything other than a Steve Caulker type signing. Unless FSG go all in and gamble their uncertain revenue on someone like Upamecano and bring forward their search for 1/ 2 choice CB to compete with VVD and Gomez.

{Ed0666's Note - is upamacano even a target? I’m guessing it may be the Turkish fella that plays for Shalke. I think Shalke need the money and he can play 2 games in a row without getting injured. At this point we need someone who can play 17 games and tackle. Let’s leave the Rolls Royce purchases till the summer.

Looks like it could be Botman. Decent signing if we make it happen (from both a short term and long term perspective) .
If money is so tight at the club, why r we not trying to sell Origi, Shaq and other fringe players for slightly lower fees? Someone needs to tell Edwards that the world is not a perfect place where u get everything u want.

{Ed0666's Note - is Botman the rumour that is doing the rounds Buzzer? One things for sure we won’t have long to wait. I wouldn’t mind him to be fair in fact I wouldn’t mind Shakin Stevens at the mo.

I think we missed a boat with F Tomori was young loan to buy HG and used to EPL.

Do you really think Chelsea would have loaned Tomori to one of their rivals?

I'm going to play the wild card here. I think we will go for a young proven defender, fast tall, good tackler, and great with the ball. Someone who Mr Klopp can mould into our new van dyke. I was going to go for Botman, but having done a bit of my own research I'm going to predict we go for Nordi Mukieli.

Oh ok, sigh, I’ll dust off my boots and do a few stretches, should be right for at least 3 games before tearing a hammy.

{Ed025's Note - well i would give you a shot burkey, could BB be the next VVD?, yes it might ruin the pay structure but your a gamble worth taking for me mate.. :)

Not sure who we can get BUT I can guarantee you we will stand a chance of winning anything this season if a CB is not brought in. That is just a fact. It is even a miracle that we are where we are with all the issues we have had, CB issue included BUT a CB surely has to come in now. Don't care who it is.

I'd play it safe and get Subotic as a stop gap on a one year contract. Botman looks interesting but I'd look at him again and decide in the summer once we have a firm view of where Van Dijk and Gomez are in their recovery. I'd also like to see Botman play without Fonte next to him (the same Fonte who made Lovren look unbeatable at Southampton), to make a final decision.

Ed025, my last contract involved a 50% discount voucher at club venues, don't think this one will break the bank.

{Ed025's Note - lets hope not burkey mate..

666 - I have no idea about Upamecano, I just mean that a CB of his quality is unlikely in this window unless FSG are going to go for broke and bring their spending forward. that's what I meant by a short term, caulker type signing is most likely. altho I really like Phillips and believe he can do a job.

{Ed0666's Note - oh got ya mate. You don’t know with FSG they don’t Telegraph their transfer policy anymore. Personally I think they’d rather buy Matip a new ankle then buy a new defender. My point is if they bring in a CB now of any capacity who didn’t they do it 3 weeks ago when Klopp advocated for one? The financial situation hasn’t changed we’re still broke.

Fingers crossed we get someone. Ed’s am i right in thinking that a free agent like Subotic can be signed after the window closes?
Btw, i know it’s not Liverpool related, but fair play to Nuno.

{Ed0666's Note - yes mate suboptimal can be signed out of the window, as can any free agent.

I guess the difference between now and then is the additional I juries that may tip the scales towards making a purchase. Anyways, it's a pretty tough situation all around. They're going to spend money they didn't want to on a player who most likely would never wear the shirt if not for our circumstances.

{Ed0666's Note - we were crying out for a CB before Matip’s injury. Now we need two.
