Milan linked heavily to buy. I'd rather buy him than loan. We develop and get fuck all backWhat 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.
Tielemans too.Bakayoko would have been an excellent alternative, but he's gone. Kessie too. Also the lad Bayern signed.
Holy fuck totally forgot about him. Just read that Monaco got him for like £20 million.Tielemans too.
Where are option 2, 3, 4 etc. We surely haven't gone into this window thinking that getting Dijk and Keita are absolute certainties?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'
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.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.
You have a point, but I don't find it reassuring that he lacks options, it's kinda stupid imo.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.
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.You have a point, but I don't find it reassuring that he lacks options, it's kinda stupid imo.
I agree but the problem is Ejaria isn't offering what Keita does.If we can't get Keita, we should give Ejaria a chance. The kid has massive talent.

Wait until someone says keeping Coutinho is like a signing in itself. argh.
where is Ejaria btw ! I dont remember hearing anything about him during the preseason.I agree but the problem is Ejaria isn't offering what Keita does.
He was injured I think.where is Ejaria btw ! I dont remember hearing anything about him during the preseason.
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.
Haven't Chelsea sewn him up?It's already been said, but Sanches is the obvious candidate?
I said it.Think it's been said already.
