Fabinho signed - £43m so it begins.

Hopefully him being Monaco's pen taker (and having such a good record) speaks to him having a cool head.

We need some stronger personalities in the team.

He looks like a bit of a twat. I like that.

We need more cynical bastards like him in the team. Keita too.

This is a very good start to the window.
 
Probably because they have Casimero, Fernandinho both DMs aswell.
I dont think any team would take 3 specialist DMs to a world cup.
No shame to not be picked against English league champion and European champions.
 
So do we start the new season with a totally new midfield ?

I have no idea what to expect with Keita but I like the look of Fabinho

Could well do. Ox out until late 2018, more than likely we won't see the best from him until 2019/20 season.

Hendo and Milner will play less. Gini may start more if we sign no other MF.
 
I have doubts about French league players due to bad memories about cherou/zidane, traore/dessaily etc under GH. So its all on you guys and Klopp if this lot turn out to be shit.
 
Just watched the video clip and for the entire first minute I thought I was watching Star Wars. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anyone with the physique of a protocol droid as much as this guy. He’s even the most golden midfielder we’ve ever had. I’m pretty sure he only has that shit little beard so blokes like @StevieM don’t stop him all the time for selfies.

I thought exactly the same.
The way he shuffles his feet, the lean to one side, the six million forms of communications. Hes the blueprint
 
I could see a change of capt next season
There is something about Hendo that klopp loves........ we don't always see the stuff in the dressing room, training pitch, behind the scenes. Whilst he hasn't been world class on the pitch, he has been solid and at times vital to keep the ball moving, every good team has a Makalele or a Dechamps, he brings so much with his leadership that we don't see......... I can't see klopp cutting his bonds with Hendo just yet. He may well lose the captaincy at some point, but I don't see that at the start of next season, he is key to the building of relationships amongst new players.

As he's replacing Henderson I want to see Jordans main two weaknesses improved upon drastically. Looking through his videos you can see his passing range is about the same as Henderson's, but he's clearly a better tackler of the ball with those longer Momo-esc legs, however it's his ability to drive forward with the ball, and to understand when to release the ball quickly, or when to recycle it, two things Henderson is poor at, that I want to see.

The videos suggest that he's leagues above Henderson when it comes to dribbling and moving the ball forward, however I couldn't really guage how clever he is with his passes, that attribute is so important for us, because if the number six doesn't release the ball quick enough, we'll miss a golden counter attack, however on the flip sometimes if he released it to quickly we needlessly put ourselves under pressure. It's an aspect on Henderson's play i think is particularly mediocre, I'm hoping Fabinho can improve on it significantly, can anyone whos seen him play prehapes offer a perspective on this?
 
Klopp loves what we don't see with Henderson. Most captain stuff is not on the pitch but among the group nowadays, especially with massive squads a nd players fuming about not playing. keeping them together is huge, we've since that this year with 14 first choice players, now let's do it with 20. And I don't think he trust's anyone else to do that right now bar Hendo

It’s happening – Klopp is essentially building an entire new midfield. This guy at #6, Keita plays in the #8 role from what I’ve seen and the Fekir links look to be as the Coutinho replacement for the #10 position.

Doesn’t fuck around our Jurgen. Best attack in world football, much more solid defense, mediocre midfield – so rather than tinker at the edges he goes and buys a brand new set of fucking quality and builds a brand new midfield just like that. 100M on Fabinho and Keita, and you can add another 50-60 for Fekir or whomever. He stuck with Hendo, Milner, etc for as long as he could – but as Saturday showed, they’re not cutting it at the highest level of football.

I can’t wait to watch this side play football.

Oh, and whilst the speed of the deal being done was impressive, the time we’ve got him in is crucial. In and done before the end of May. Means we’ve got months to work with him. Klopp was on record as saying how much it helped getting Salah done so early last summer, and his incredible season was directly attributable to being able to work with him on the training ground all summer long.

I would not be surprised to see 1-2 other deals done in the next week or two. This club is backing Klopp to the hilt.
 
Love his wife already! This signing is huge! I’ve got Manc friends messaging me annoyed that we signed him as they were linked. This lad is a beast, if we can add Fekir too, wow!

Takes deep breath ..... So who are the other 8 players in our new best XI, Ryan?

Wind-ups aside - I totally agree with that last comment. As breathtaking as our football was this last season, next season could be a different level. I really hope we get Fekir as well.
