Kent £15m? Really? maybe £5m at a push.

He has done well at Burnley. But Burnley are a fairly defensive side who offer a lot of protection to their defenders. Not sure if he can perform at the level in a Klopp side with bare minimum protection from midfielders.

Sakho looks like a defensive colossus in some games for Crystal Palace. Maybe we are better off letting him come back.

That's got a lot to do with Allardyce though. I wouldn't p!$$ on the bloke if he were on fire, but he knows what he's doing when he sets up a defence. There have certainly been times this season when we could have done with Sakho, but over the longer term I'm not sure Klopp's style will suit him as well as Allardyce's clearly does.
 
What are you smoking?
Kent £15mill
Sakho £30mill
Allan £7mill

We'd be lucky to get £20-25mill for the lot.

Its a bit less special than the last time you did this exercise some two weeks ago but youre still way off the mark

Lacazette is going to athletico.
 
Yeah I'm not so certain RN is too far off the mark judging by last Summer's transfer fees. Sakho still has 3 yrs left on contract, we'll deffo get a good fee for him. Not so sure re. Kent. Moreno etc. but 7 figures wouldn't surprise me at all in some cases.
 
Ibe went for an over-inflated fee but at least he had played to a decent standard in the Premier League. Kent doesn't have that. If he was sold tomorrow it wouldn't be any more than £5-6M.
 
Im starting to think its massively worrying who we are linked with.

A whole bunch of tikki takka 21 year olds.

Rakatic is about the only player who Ive seen us linked with that inspires confidence.
 
I am not sure about Ivan. Like him as a player, but he is not that powerful anclesnapper we need to Balance the midfield, more like the ones we already have plenty of.
 
I was thinking about it last night.
We are missing a controlling midfielder. A midfielder that 'all they can do is pass'

A Pirlo, Alonso, Modric type of player.
We have box to box midfielders like Can and Henderson. We have attacking/winger/acm type of players but we lack a player who can control the tempo of the game. Just sit and hold the ball and slow things down or speed things up.

Maybe thats a simplistic view of things. But I was thinking about Mascherano/Alonso/Gerrard last night and that kind of dynamic.

We definitely need the DM snapping in and breaking things up. But we need someone to take control of the ball. A player who can read the game and see things others dont.
Too often Coutinho has to drop way deep to start things.

I dont watch enough Barcelona to know if Rakatic is that guy. I wouldnt be against Fabregas if the price was right. He is a terrific passer of the ball with good vision.
Im open to other alternatives of course, most of you watch more football than me. I just think that perhaps that would help almost as much as a Mascherano type.

Are there any viable alternatives? Isco?
 
I agree and have been saying the same for a few seasons now. We need someone who can control the tempo of the game a little more, someone that knows when to hold onto it, when to pass and to who.

I'm not sure who we can get in that mould really that is good enough to have the sort of transformative effect we'd be looking for.
 
Is Kent not good enough to stick in the squad next year for Europa League and League Cup games? He's scored a couple of belters for his side. Seems to have quite a bit of pace about him.

That outs list is nuts. None of Studge, Sakho, Stewart, Lucas, Flanagan, Kent or Lazar will go for the amounts mentioned.

I think Wijnaldum was supposed to be that player.

Wijnaldum would make a great right wing back or right sided midfielder in a 4-4-2. But I'm just not seeing Wijnaldum the central midfielder.

Goes missing against weaker teams so often when you need someone to take the game by the neck. As I've said before on here, there's no stand out feature in his game. He's average at a lot of things and not great at anything.

I've seen him play a few times and reckon he merits a chance with Liverpool. He's certainly got better control than some who are currently playing for us and is able to look after the ball quite well.

What a novel suggestion. It's a wonder this hasn't been suggested every week by fucking everyone for like the last 5 years.

Do you even read the forum you have 7 trillion posts on?
