You would pay 40 million for a player yo think is worth 30?, would you pay 45? |

Depends how urgently we need the player. We need a Gk desperately. Few available at the best of times. So would have to push the boat out. We've got lots of cms. So I would not have paid the extra £10mil to bring in keita. I would have paid £60mil to sign Aubameyang. Few mil extra from arsenal's £54mil. I wouldnt have signed Lallana at all. I would have paid up to £25mil for Goretzka if that meant jumping ahead of bayern. Edited by John_Boy, Feb 2 2018, 08:04 PM.

Lallana to fill Couts boots. Another of our players, like Winjaldum who undoubtedly has the ability but for the most part leaves you frustrated. Time to step it up Adam. |

There's nothing Lallana can step up too. He will be 30 years old in a few months and been at Liverpool since 2014 . He is not a Coutinho replacement by any stretch of the imagination. I'm sure Klopp figured that with 13 games left that a fit , Lallana will help out the team down the stretch achieve its top 4 goals and probably why FSG did not pull the trigger now in buying some big name , over priced replacement. Yet again, so easy to throw blame at Klopp for saying he just didn't see the point in buying someone now as prices are through the roof as most January transfers smell of desperation, so OK posters here - who should of Liverpool bought now for 90 million ( that's the going rate it appears for the likes of Mahrez, Lemar, Pulisic etc ) ? |

deals are available aus...its just that we are very hit and miss with competence. spurs bought moura for less than £30mil. chelsea got giroud for less than £20mil. the rest of europe still buy at decent prices. the prices are a problem for later....the initial problem is that klopp doesnt seem to think we have any problems!!!!! |

My only problem is that Coutinho left in the January window. Made little sense. We all knew he going there so either agree to it last Summer or next Summer, not now with no replacement in mind or ready to buy. Barcelona are running away with La Liga and Coutinho can’t play in the CL. What’s the point him going now with Liverpool’s entire Season in limbo. |

Klopp had ages to find a replacement, it was a matter of when couts left not if. They should have lined up someone first. |

It has been gone over before, the rest of Europe up the fee for PL teams because we have more money. Do you really expect Klopp to publicly say what he really thinks about the squad? I would have loved Moura in the team, Klopp must not rate him or has someone else lined up in the summer. |

He has to state the obvious at least? We have no proven striker in the squad, saying we need to sign a striker won't cause any issues.... He said he doesn't need strikers!! |

It is plausible Phil had agreed to leave in the Summer. He would have continued playing ECL football with Liverpool, and gone to the world cup, just the same. We have had Keita lined up for the summer. It occurs to me that Phil put his foot down and demanded to leave in January. Catching the club by surprise, and leaving Klopp no choice but to let him go. Whether this is the case or not, who is the immediately available, and comparable replacement for Phil? PEA? No! Lemar? Maybe! Edited by Hollywood, Feb 5 2018, 04:38 PM.

Lol either way you would look to get the replacement in sooner rather than later. Would have probably worked out cheaper of we signed Lemar aubi et al before we sold couts! |

We didn't go for Aubamayang because Klopp didn't want him. Cost had nothing to do with it |

It might be because we score for fun a lot. We have bigger needs than a striker. |

"He is a great player but he does not play in a position for which we urgently need new players." Klopp doesn't believe we need strikers.... |

That doesn't change the fact we don't have/need strikers? |

Hiding behind Salah's goals doesn't mean we don't need a striker. Couts has gone. Mane is acting normal. Firminho works we in some games. Looks exhausted atm. |

Hmm, not so sure, - they were talking 70 or 90 million for Lemar before we sold Phil. You can thank PS fucking G. |

I wonder if on Spurs forums they have their fans arguing that they are hiding behind Kane's goals? Its such an odd take on Salah. |

Lallana can be great for us, but not from the bench. |
