Kieta alternatives

Not open for further replies.
I don't know what's preferable: shopping around in the reject bucket with the grotesquely inflated prices, or not signing anyone at all.

Throw in the possibility of losing Can and Coutinho, and we could have another season where we slump down the table when we should've pushed on.
 
What about Renato Sanches?

Bayern want to send him out on loan. That might work out for us. If he turns out to be good, we can offer to buy him. If not, we can go back in for Keita next summer.
Milan linked heavily to buy. I'd rather buy him than loan. We develop and get fuck all back
 
Bakayoko would have been an excellent alternative, but he's gone. Kessie too. Also the lad Bayern signed.
 
I think the club have done a brilliant fucking job of tempering expectations.

Go in for two players combined at 150m who we CANNOT sign so the fans think we are serious for once.
Then almost lose Coutinho and Can wait until the last minute, sign no one but keep those two and the fans are like YAY!!! WE HAVE GOT COUTINHO AND CAN!!!!!


Then one day down the line...
'saaaaaay........these just regular ole crackers'
 
I just don't see what you're all complaining about.

A fit Danny Studge is like a new signing. Plus Salah, and Robertson. And Solanke.

A proper Champions League Transfer Window that.

God I hate our club sometimes.

Where are option 2, 3, 4 etc. We surely haven't gone into this window thinking that getting Dijk and Keita are absolute certainties?
Why did they let it go on for so long? It's not like it was a world cup year or whatever.
 
Seri from Nice, he's a quality CM. Good alternative to Keita, but doubt we're interested. Should be all over Renato Sanches, 1 year loan and then buy Keita next season.

From what I've seen of Klopp's dealings, he knows who he wants and why. He may have alternatives but I wouldn't bet on it. We're not going to see a Balotelli-like situation.
What does surprise me a little is how little competition there has been for Salah, Van Dijk and Keita. Robertson, too, though that may be less surprising.

You have a point, but I don't find it reassuring that he lacks options, it's kinda stupid imo.

Only if he believes what he already has is good enough, and wants specific quality and talent that will be a huge upgrade on what we have already.
Hopefully. The Mane, Salah kind of quality upgrade.
 
There are no alternatives. We are all in. This is still happening!

Or its not happening and we are dick heads because we have no alternatives. Either way - no alternatives!

Wait until someone says keeping Coutinho is like a signing in itself. argh.
 
Btw I think we should be careful who we sign as an alternative to Keita. There are two problems,
1. If we sign someone thinking that he can be a good option and he fails to live to Klopp's expectations, the signing will be waste. As there is a possibility that next summer window, we will end up signing Keita.
2. On the other hand, it is quite possible that if he performs good in the coming season. He will attract more interest from other clubs and might end up somewhere else instead of Liverpool.

I think the solution to this will be to sign someone on loan and adjust the tactics to "not having a Keita type of a player". Well hopefully this loan signing will be someone like James of Madrid on loan at Bayern, a player who is of very high quality but unwanted at big top 5 of Europe.

It's already been said, but Sanches is the obvious candidate?
