Don’t you think it’s possible we’ve been played and Caicedo and / or his agents deliberately gave LFC the impression he was likely to sign so that we would bid which in turn would force Chelsea to make a move?

RazorSharp

1.) 11 Aug 2023 22:02:20
Does it matter? He doesn’t want us. We should move on and leave the lad to his choices. Be they good or bad. It’s on us to do some good business from here on in.


2.) 11 Aug 2023 22:14:10
Am I the only one who doesn't think it's such a big deal? Bid accepted so we can speak to the player officially to try agree terms. 99% not happening.

We move on.

Bayern must have bid three or four times for Kane before a bid was accepted and then it came out that he was more likely to stay and see out his contract with Spurs. I can't imagine Bayern were embarrassed, they would have just switched targets and that's it, try sign someone else.


3.) 11 Aug 2023 22:18:42
I think the club “has” moved on. So has the Scouse supporters. ( Not very sharp for a razor mate.


4.) 11 Aug 2023 22:23:57
Speaking of Kane anyone think there maybe a chance spurs bid for jota?


5.) 11 Aug 2023 22:23:58
I don't think it was deliberate but maybe we bid for Caicedo as Chelsea showed interest in Lavia who we had been pursuing for months. This whole mess has been a bit shambolic today. We've missed targets before and will again. Move on and find a better fit for us now. Whether that is back to Lavia and pay the fee Southampton now want or Gravenberch or someone we haven't considered.

Can I add my thanks to the Eds for the amazing job you do here, putting up with the constant questions, frequently repetitive as they often are. I have been a long time reader and watcher for news here and couldn't imagine a transfer window without this site.

{Ed002's Note - Thanks, we have tried to explain but there has been a great deal of abuse today.}

Sean- Kane looks like he’s joining Bayern.


7.) 11 Aug 2023 22:56:58
There is no benefit to Liverpool bidding for Caicedo if the player only wanted Chelsea as it only drives up the fee and makes striking a deal harder, how it could be argued that a bidding war helps a player if he only wants one club is madness! The player must have indicated a willingness to move otherwise we ain’t bidding a transfer record fee without sounding out the player and his agent. At the minute it’s all media speculation as to what Caicedo wants so take it with a pinch of salt. Also worth remembering that he wanted Arsenal 6 months ago! He wants the best deal it’s rather simple and is probably sitting and waiting to see if Chelsea come back in with a better offer….


8.) 11 Aug 2023 22:59:20
Yes CobraCraig it looks like Kane is going to sign for Bayern, hence why I used past tense in my post - he initially sounded hesitant.


9.) 11 Aug 2023 23:22:10
The annoying thing is if we were to get him now after today’s debacle he wouldn’t be welcomed as readily as if none of this hearsay (as of yet) had happened. There would be a feeling from the off of him not being fully committed, whether any of this has truth or not.

Best thing now is for Chelsea to have a bid accepted and then he chooses. If he chooses Liverpool after all that then we likely know how full of rubbish Romano et al are. If he chooses Chelsea then it goes as expected.


10.) 11 Aug 2023 23:33:47
I’m thinking this Caicedo bid may be a smokescreen! Did Pool know he only wanted Chelsea so put that huge bid in knowing he wouldn’t come? Did the owners do it to keep the fans quiet? Was it revenge for outbidding us with Lavia? If Chelsea sign both this is embarrassing for us and a complete joke what they’re doing with the FFP rules! If Pool don’t spend that £110m it’s going to look like it was all fake!

{Ed002's Note - What FFP rules are these? Embarrassing again.}


11.) 11 Aug 2023 23:34:15

I know Diego Laxalt was mentioned as a possible left sided player (LB/ LM), but is there any sign of revisiting Julian Brandt as a left midfield option (instead of LW)?

RazorSharp

{Ed002's Note - I wouldn’t think Liverpool willlook to buy him and then pay him out of position on the odd occasions he is required. If Salah or Mane were to leave perhaps.}


1.) 31 Dec 2018 18:38:17
OK I thought he played LM as well.

Anyway Ed2 thank you very much for all your hard work and info in 2018. I hope 2019 brings you much joy peace and health. Happy New Year. YNWA.

{Ed002's Note - Julian Brandt is an out and out attacking LW.}


2.) 31 Dec 2018 23:42:48
I’m not saying we are going to get brandt, but why do we have to sell to buy? City have mahrez aguero sterling Jesus sane and silva who all play in the front three positions. We have salah mane Firmino Shaqiri and Sturridge who are first team. When city signed mahrez we didn’t say well who is leaving then? Shaqiri plays in the middle a lot anyway, we don’t have natural pace as an option on the wing, if mane and salah wasn’t available.


3.) 01 Jan 2019 00:34:51
Doesn’t really matter who city has. We are well stocked up top.


4.) 01 Jan 2019 03:04:41
We’re fine but not massively stocked upfront IMO. A long term injury to either Mane or Salah and we’ll be putting a lot of strain on Shaqiri as there’s no one else able to provide pace and goals from out wide (especially with the Ox injured) .


 

 

07 Jun 2017 19:43:33
The only consolation I can see from this is that we haven't spent 100 million on 2 players who were not in our original plan. Now let's start again. Hopefully we can go back in for Mendy and Keita.

RazorSharp

{Ed025's Note - they will cost £100m razor.. :)


1.) 08 Jun 2017 00:59:47
£100m yes, but both 1st choice targets. Throw in Salah and a RB and I am thrilled. Sell the players who don't have a future with the club and I call that a great transfer window.

02 Aug 2023 16:09:04
Any thoughts about making Joe Gomez right back and just keeping Trent in midfield. I’m
not convinced about him moving between one position the other. It’s just crying out to be exploited by the opposition team. I do not think you can build a system around a player’s weakness.

RazorSharp

1.) 02 Aug 2023 16:25:18
We have played 3 at the back when in play since the last 8 or so games of last season. This has has been continued right through pre-season so safe to say it will be deployed this season. If so we have to sign a quality left sided centre back and a DM. Lavia has to be wrapped up asap. Just offer close to what Southampton want and stop with this wait a week and then bid near enough the same amount as the last bid that was rejected.

Regarding a centre back signing I think we should match whatever City are offering for Gvardiol. With our system we need a quality centre back on that side because Robbo bombing forward in a back 3 just ain’t going to cut it in this system. I would then put Lavia on the right of the two man midfield, which would provide Konate with protection and have Trent on the left side where Gvardiol is. Trent is essentially roaming anyways but has the quality to ping balls from any side of the two man midfield that sit in front of the 3 centre backs.


2.) 02 Aug 2023 16:27:05
I'd give young Bradley a shot at RB before Gomez. But clearly TAA has to be moved forward to the midfield; his limitations become so blatant when Matip is playing behind him. But I wonder if it creates more problems than it solves? I wouldn't start TAA ahead of Mac Allister or Szoboszlai (at least for now; we have to see the abilities of what we bought) . And I'm not sure about TAA as a DM. So that leads to benching your newly appointed vice-captain?

Klopp has very difficult decisions ahead of him, that's for sure.


3.) 02 Aug 2023 17:05:43
I think it's time we went 3 2 2 3 full on and not this inverted full back. Robertson should be a full on LCB and stay wide like a lb. Konate rcb and Van Dijk CB. We don't play full backs. Think it goes a good way to solving problems. Inverted RB is clearly becoming a disaster because Robertson is playing lb when he should be playing LCB. This is clearly a management issue. 3 2 2 3 and we're back to the races I think. This formation is great going forward. This small adjustment can solve much (not all) of the defensive problems. I can't watch the inverted RB anymore. It's terrible.

Even when Gomez plays RB he stays wide instead of tucking in to RCB which should be a great position for him. I go as far to say this is the dumbest formation we have ever played. For the love of god, please give me a look at 3 2 2 3 which I thought originally we were going to do this pre season.


4.) 02 Aug 2023 17:06:56
Ha any thoughts of Trent being benched should be er benched . I do get your point, where does Trent play, well it appears to me, that Trent can't play this new position with Matip behind him, only Konate has the speed and ability to cover for Trent,
what was wrong with the Greek lad today, he didn't need a shower after the game .
still lots of positives to be taken from this game, its clear that Ali in goal is one of the best in the world .
maybe with Big Virg given the Captains arm band, he might just give an extra ten per cent to his game,
talks of a left sided centre back needed, but a replacement for Matip is urgent, for me he is a major worry .


5.) 02 Aug 2023 17:09:45
I agree ArAy. Trent’s attacking qualities are too good to leave him out, but his defensive skills make him a less than ideal choice for a DM. He clearly is at his best going forward and I think that this current new style puts too much pressure in the RCB and leave us exposed on the counter attack. The questions is, is Trent closer to being a complete full back or a compete midfielder. Only time will tell.

{Ed025's Note - incomplete at both I would say R/S..


6.) 02 Aug 2023 17:17:42
I am pretty confident that Klopp will not have Gomez or Bradley as a regular starting right back.


7.) 02 Aug 2023 17:24:22
I'm with you on this Razor. I don't think Gomez is good enough to be a first choice centre half for us (too many opportunities that he's not taken to nail it down as his own) but I think he's less of an exposure than Trent at right back and still half decent at getting forward and delivering a cross.

Makes us a bit stronger at right back whilst allowing the full conversion of Trent to midfield.

That said, I saw Trent more in the old Henderson right side of midfield role, rather than as the holding/ defensive midfielder in the Fabinho role. If we assume we're looking for a third midfielder to play alongside Mac Allister and Szoboszlai, then I don't know that it can be Trent.


8.) 02 Aug 2023 17:30:50
I know you're a bitter end but you're the only person I've ever known who genuinely doesn't rate Trent.

{Ed025's Note - i think hes a great footballer TopG, i do think hes a bit of a Mars Bar though and loses concentration easily at times, still young though and could develop into a half decent midfielder..


9.) 02 Aug 2023 17:47:07
Yes RR I don’t think we need a world class right back we just need someone who is solid defensively and disciplined in that area. Maybe I’m old fashioned but I’d rather do without the attacking qualities of a full back and know that we’re secure defensively. I know football has changed but I think for now Gomez is adequate with Bradley etc for back up knowing that we do not have the funds to buy a player for all the positions we need.


10.) 02 Aug 2023 17:55:11
Perhaps if he wasn't being asked to play 3 positions at the same time he might be able to fully concentrate on a job.

{Ed025's Note - i think Trent plays wherever he decides he wants to play FPF, if he doesn,t want to play full back then Klopp will kow-tow and move him into midfield it seems to me mate, he will track back when and if he wants to, great talent but for me there are doubts over his attitude, just my view of course..


11.) 02 Aug 2023 18:12:33
Come on Ed025. You know Trent doesn't decide where he plays. He's not that guy, as much a you'd like him to be. He's not Stevie G. On the same note, Hendo didn't decide to spend his time pushed up so far up top leaving massive gaps in front of Trent and nor is Robbo at fault looking like a fish out of water in this new system.

We have a lot of work to do to fine tune whatever this new approach is.

{Ed025's Note - time will tell i suppose FPF, i actually want him to do well mate which is probably why i might be slightly harsh on him, i like nothing better than to see a local lad make the grade, but i do have reservations about his demeanor at times..


12.) 02 Aug 2023 18:15:59
Ed25, I don't believe a single word of what you have posted regarding Trent. So how do you know Trent plays wherever he wants to play? Do you have any eveidence to back this up or you're just talking based on what you see which is exactly what his coaches ask him to do?

Pretty sure if he was free-lancing as you are alleging, Klopp would have put him out to pasture for deliberately disregarding instructions and disrespecting Klopp, his team mates and the club. We all know Klopp suffers no fools and we know what happened to those who deliberately flouted his orders. See Mahmadou Sahko.

{Ed025's Note - your right Oli, i do comment on what i see, i saw last season how sloppy he was defensively and how disinterested he looked at times in the full back role...he had a face like a smacked arse, he then got his move to midfield and he looked a lot more comfortable there, plays some amazing through balls and crosses i will give you that mate, unfortunately the rest of his game is lacking in that position for me, the hustle, the tracking back, and the aerial prowess and tackling, now that may come with experience but at the moment he is a bit of a show pony, and i mean that in the nicest possible way..


13.) 02 Aug 2023 19:06:38
Bitter ed, I meant wasn't calling you a bitter end.

{Ed025's Note - dont worry about it mate, water off a ducks back to me..


14.) 02 Aug 2023 19:18:22
Ed025, what would you say if I told you Trent led the premier league for most tackles, interceptions and progressive passes in the last 10 games of the season ( when he was moved into the hybrid role), would that change your opinion on the hussle and tracking back?

{Ed025's Note - it would amaze me EPS, stats tend to tell what they want though mate and this lady is not for turning...as a witch once said.. :)


15.) 02 Aug 2023 20:58:06
Ed25, VVD looked disinterested in the CB role last season,

{Ed025's Note - he did at times Oli and had a poor season by his standards, he was fighting a losing battle though with the tramps he had along side him mate, its a fine line between over confidence and apathy and maybe the skipper role will make him focus more this season, it could be the re-invention of him..


16.) 02 Aug 2023 21:13:15
Crap, pressed send too soon. Ed25, so you are saying he had a terrible time last season just so he could play in midfield? So from where you were "watching", you concluded that Trent deliberately played crap and was disinterested cos he wanted to play in midfield and Klopp wouldn't let him hence, he sabotaged our season for his own personal gain? Wow, some illuminating observer you are that you could conclude all of that with no actual evidence nor proof to back it up.

No proof nor inside info of a bust up with Klopp over position switches? No inside info of Arguments with coaches and any of that? Just innuendos from seeing things you clearly wanted to see and to support whatever thought you had of him to begin with and assasinate his character and level such personal accusations that you literally could not provide any proof of?

You do know if Trent even dared to do 1% of what you acussed him of, Klopp would have him binned from the team, right? My goodness if that goes for player "analysis" these days then, count me out. Peace and Love.

{Ed025's Note - you are misinterpreting what i said Oli, i never once mentioned sabotage or in fact that his form fell off a cliff deliberately, what i do know is that he is a far better player than what he was showing at full back last season, you can blame players around him all you want mate but at times he looked apathetic and yes disinterested, when he moved to what was essentially a free role midfielder his mood changed and he seemed a lot happier and put in some good performances, glean from that what you will my friend..


17.) 02 Aug 2023 22:41:01
We’ll said Ed 025?.


18.) 03 Aug 2023 04:21:52
We'd have to agree to disagree on that Ed. Personally from my observations, I think he (and the rest of the team for that matter) was uncomfortable playing whatever role Klopp initially wanted him to play last season. The system of play we had early on was a shambles and it made all our players (bar Allison) look worse than they actually were. We only started to click later on in the season when the high press was back and when the system was tweaked slightly. I don't think last season's performance had anything to do with Trent being disinterested in playing RB anymore and having his sights set on CM.


19.) 03 Aug 2023 06:31:56
Trent’s best position is the one that Hendo occupied on the right side of a midfield 3 in the system that we won everything with - 433 and high press. Why we are persisting with a system that we don’t have the players for, that we are clearly not suited to and doesn’t work for us is just beyond me. We have good players, we should play to their strengths not fit them into some weird experimental system.


20.) 03 Aug 2023 10:49:44
I agree West, I'm not sure about him as the holding midfielder tbh

For cb I agree with Alonso, match what City have offered for Gvardiol. BBC have it at 76m today - surely we could match that? I mean a club of our size would have to have that, no?

That would give us 3 strong cbs though I still feel we need a dedicated cdm.


21.) 03 Aug 2023 11:14:56
We bought Vvd for 75 mill and it had nothing to do with selling Coutinho as we aren’t a sell to buy club and FSG will back Klopp with anyone he wants.

No doubts our bid is inbound. Unless Klopp doesn’t want to spend money or Gvardiol is not the right fit.

{Ed002's Note - Gvardiol was never and isn't joining Liverpool.}

David Ornstein being the source.

{Ed002's Note - Fabinho (DM/RB) May make way in the summer if a DM player arrives. There is interest from the UAE and Saudi Arabia in the Middle East and the player will be aware Liverpool have been making efforts to bring in a replacement for him.}

We have Firmino, Jota and Nunez in our squad for that CF position. What exactly would Werner add or bring?

{Ed0666's Note - I’d have no problem with Werner if klopp got him I think he’d excel with us.


4.) 25 Jul 2022 14:52:16
He seems to have fallen off a cliff reputation wise. 3 seasons ago he was being hailed as the missing piece of our jigsaw and instead we ended up with Jota.

One has scored plenty of goals and the other has been caught offside plenty of times.

Surely there is a player in there somewhere but I can’t see him coming to us. Not unless Bobby is leaving and we’re looking at bringing in another forward.


5.) 25 Jul 2022 15:08:01
Jk. good shout. Bobby out werner in could be nice. Werner would excel under klopp. a choice of nunez werner and jota upfront. Top.


6.) 25 Jul 2022 17:06:18
Didn’t Klopp decide against trying to sign him when he was speaking to him when Leipzig
Maybe the boss knows something we didn’t and doesn’t see him as a premier league player.


7.) 25 Jul 2022 17:37:32
If anyone could turn Werner from misfit to scoring machine it would be Klopp. Ably assisted of course by the tactical experts on here.
But there needs to be a gap in the front line first, and Firmino has made it clear recently he absolutely loves life at the club and isn't in a hurry to go.
So unless Bobby changes his mind it's a non starter.


8.) 25 Jul 2022 18:26:10
Werner? Please no. He's being paid a fortune at Chelsea and if he thinks Chelsea is a goldfish bowl, wait until you come to Liverpool Football Club.

And bringing him in for Bobby? The less said the better.

If people are adamant on taking a player from Chelsea to replace Bobby, then it has to be Kai Havertz.

Another player that could offer what Bobby does is Gerard Moreno but unfortunately he's of similar age.

{Ed025's Note - dele Alli would be the perfect replacement FPF..


9.) 25 Jul 2022 20:30:20
Dele Alli of 5 years ago might have actually made a decent false 9, Ed.


10.) 25 Jul 2022 23:23:27
Dele Alli today is a false player.
Yesterday's man unfortunately, a wasted talent.


11.) 26 Jul 2022 08:07:25
I think the Werner ship has sailed . Say no to the reds and klopp once and you don’t enter the conversation again IMO
If any player on the market is replacing Bobby this summer it has to be someone who plays on the right hand side
( Antony from Ajax )
I believe he is available at the right price from what I read but not even sure if he’s in the conversation of players for us.


12.) 26 Jul 2022 08:17:27
Dele Alli scored a couple the other day against Blackpool didn’t he? I was surprised cos I didn’t know the Championship had started so soon. Sounded like an exciting game though - cracking advert for the Championship.


13.) 26 Jul 2022 16:04:27
Magico1234, that's a joke right? Werner is absolute pants and the worst thing is that for a guy that poor, he talks a lot of smack and complains a lot about him being criticized by Tuchel for actually being crap. He is so delusional that he actually thinks he is better than what he actually is. And on 270k a week at Chelsea? You must be having a laugh.

The guy couldn't carry Bobbie's toiletry bag in terms of ability on the pitch and I would rather play one of the kids in place of Bobbie rather than sign an absolute flop of a player like Werner to replace him.


14.) 26 Jul 2022 20:28:56
I love it when people say he would be a good player in a good team - you could say that about most people on earth. I prefer the idea of a player coming in who makes a good team great - Werner isn’t in that category.

8.) 15 Dec 2021 11:43:28
4 years ago his ability was worth the indiscretions to us. Now though with his abilities dwindling and our need for more goal scorers nearly non-existant, it would be an incredibly poor signing. He'd be about 6th choice for us on this seasons form. Salah, Mane, Firmino, Jota and Origi are all ahead of him right now.

{Ed025's Note - dont count firmino or origi as choices MK, they are bench warmers at best mate but i agree that abameyang would be a bad choice..

Ed025. I know you enjoy a good wind up. But calling Bobby a “benchwarmer at best” doesn’t do you many favors. He’d certainly walk into your team and be the best one on it. I’d even say he could pick his position and that would be unchanged.

{Ed025's Note - he used to ok TJ but lets be honest he has done nothing for nearly 3 years, a poor mans rondon i would say..


14.) 15 Dec 2021 13:18:40
Origi 7 days of the week. Knows his role and seems happy with it. Isn't one ounce of trouble and a good lad to have around the squad.

{Ed025's Note - very good sub OMM, but thats the pinnacle of his worth i would say mate..


15.) 15 Dec 2021 14:05:04
Origi 7 days of the week and twice if it's a major semi final/ final. He's got 5 goals in about 400 minutes this season and he doesn't cause any disruption. Aubameyang would struggle to make our match day squad even forsaking his disciplinary record. His form has been awful since his new booster contract. I agree Bobby and Origi are on the bench in our best XI, but i'd rather have them on the bench than Aubameyang, straight up.


16.) 15 Dec 2021 14:16:09
This fella is just trying to wind people up, I hope? My god, never in a million years. Don't bite. Talk about getting a reaction lol well played razor.


17.) 15 Dec 2021 14:23:03
No, he’s over the hill and a complete arse.


18.) 15 Dec 2021 15:56:38
One of the easiest nos ever. Massively overpaid and very questionable attitude.


19.) 15 Dec 2021 16:14:29
I’d rather us give one of the crowd a go than have aubamayang near the club. He’s lazy, lost his touch, and expensive, poor attitude the list of cons goes on.


20.) 15 Dec 2021 17:08:56
Outside of his disciplinary issues, the way we play doesn't suit him at all.


21.) 15 Dec 2021 18:20:05
Question for VVV, Adams Traore or Auba?


22.) 15 Dec 2021 18:51:46
Marto that's like asking what happens when an unstoppable force hits an immovable object! Traore sprinting at full belt being the unstoppable force, and an Aubameyang who has been asked to press being the immovable object.


23.) 15 Dec 2021 19:22:05
Ed 025 loves his fishing doesn't he, u down calderstones lake again ed rod in hand .

{Ed025's Note - im not fishing hailstones, i just have views on players and like superman always tell the truth, im not saying you have to agree with me mate but i do know my onions..


24.) 15 Dec 2021 20:29:46
Martolfc, I’d rather defecate into my hands and clap than either.

Joking aside, Traore is at least a decent bloke and would put a shift in when Klopp asked him. Even if he’s a terrible footballer.


25.) 16 Dec 2021 01:18:57
Haha, I feel like a poor man's Rondon is me typing this from my couch. or maybe that's the actual Rondon, haha.


26.) 16 Dec 2021 02:49:59
@Ed25, Origi is a very good sub at one of the top half dozen clubs in the world. That makes him an automatic regular starter for most professional clubs on the planet.

Bobby is better than Origi, imho, which makes him an automatic starter for nearly all professional clubs on the planet.

Anybody that you would even consider in those categories from the Blues? You could have had Digne, of course, but it seems like the best left back in the world isn’t going to get many more games?

{Ed025's Note - origi is one of the best subs in the game WDW, he is prepared to sit on the bench for most of his career and thats priceless, even though it does show a lack of ambition, bobby is the biggest myth in football though mate, this amazing play maker, scorer, link man has never been seen!!!, he belongs in the realm of dragons unicorns and mermaids as fantasy beings who are a figment of the imagination..


27.) 16 Dec 2021 08:39:27
just going to play Devils advocate here and see the reaction, but you can see with Auba why FSG aren't keen to give big contracts to our ageing players. they play out of their skins get a massive contract and then literally down tools,


28.) 16 Dec 2021 10:10:17
We heard good word from vvvv on Traore, the end?


29.) 16 Dec 2021 11:44:48
I think origi would be a cracking signing for Everton.


30.) 16 Dec 2021 10:06:31
Ed025 you have 11 starters that should be on the bench the limit of their talents id bet if raffa had div and bobby they would be first on his team sheet . You do really need to start to live in the real world you get a top manager who then does a runner to Madrid you then are lucky enough to get Raffa in and you lot give him no time to fix a problem that goes back to end of kendals rein and slag him off . Stop making comment on other clubs players and i suggest back your manager and board.

{Ed025's Note - im only opining albey as is my want, im afraid your opinion of our current manager is as biased as your love for divi and bobby mate, they are very good options from the bench and thats their limit for me..


31.) 16 Dec 2021 16:55:03
Albeydered as for Rafa, he has NOBODY else to blame for taking that wretched Everton manager job BUT himself. Many of us sounded the alarm that he was heading into a buzzsaw with that mob. They would never give him credit for anything he achieved and would get all the blame for everything that went wrong regardless of whose fault it is. He made his bed and he needs to tuck into it nicely, IMO.

As for Ed25's opinion about Bobbie and Origi, I think at this point Ed25 is just being stubborn and doesn't want to admit he has been wrong about both of these guys from day one and won't admit it. He said they would not pan out for us YET they are both going into their SEVENTH season with the club. Who knew, right? This is where he has stuck his flag into the ground and won't budge. Just my take.

I fully take your point. But the problem is when such managers don’t deliver (which means winning a major trophy at a club like Liverpool) they are put under immense pressure and are not usually given too much time. I’d say Arteta is an unusual exception even though I don’t see him as a talented manager. Many managers would have done better than him if they had been given that much time. That being said I wish Alonso well and I’ll be right behind him if and when he comes to Liverpool.

I would still be wary about Alono. As much as I hope he will do well I don’t understand why he’s already a favourite to succeed Klopp after half a season if success. Give people a chance to prove themselves over a few seasons.

RazorSharp

{Ed001's Note - it is more than half a season. He performed a minor miracle last season with them too. Before that he did really well with the B team at Sociedad and prior to that he was impressing with Madrid's youth teams. That used to be enough to get a top job like ours. I mean it is more than Paisley did or Fagan. He is favourite because he has stardust sprinkled about him right now, a bit like Guardiola did or Klopp in his early days. When you look at the options out there, there are very few that stand out, other than him.}

To be honest I think a right back would solve a lot of problems. It would get Trent into the midfield, it would shore up the defence and it would stop us having to play this odd system, as well as putting less pressure on Konate to cover so much ground. One player would solve a lot of problems. On the other hand we could buy lots of other players and still have the same issue at the back.

Do you think you’re confusing him with Avi Cohen? I know he was the 80s but only person i can think of with a similar name.

Ron I think if he had been bought after the ‘main signing’ there would probably have been a different reaction. If we get a solid DM he might be a good squad player. The problem is that there appears to be no plan and random bids. I’ll give it till the end of the window but this is a massive few weeks for the club.
