Matip appreciation

Problem with Gomez is that it's not recurring niggles; they're full on, ruin a career injuries.

I don't know if that's a good or bad thing when it comes to "injury prone", but it's certainly slowed his development at a rate of knots
 
His finest attribute, no question

We need a new CB desperately. I dont know why klopp thought he could rely on matip and gomez with their injury record. Was very surprised we didn't buy a CB in the summer. Even more surprised we offered matip a new contract.
 
How does Matip go about his daily life? I imagine he strains his neck brushing his teeth in the morning.
 
Yeah but you're a fucking nut job. If Klopp listened to you we'd only have 7 players left in the squad.
You still wouldn't sell him in the next summer, if a say a £15m-ish came in for him? A big drop from what I would have asked for him at the start of the season. Anyways, the club needs to get a CB in now, buy one and get one on loan.

I’d sell him if a decent offer came in. That’s assuming we but a decent cb this window
 
Reluctantly agree. I like him and would ideally prefer to keep him, but this is starting to get beyond the point of reasonableness now.

As far as fetching in a CB goes, there are hints online that we're looking at a swap deal with Matip's old club involving Divock and Ozan Kabak.
 
I can change it to "Matip got the assist".

An assist and being out for x weeks or months doesn't exactly work?
You realize this I'm sure ... a player who cannot be counted on is a problem, especially when he's our last 'healthy' CB

Obviously, but what are we gonna do about it now?
Sell him January?
I've been advocating buying another CB for months, regardless of Matip's health issues.

No - of course not, but a team that wants to win anything cannot rely on him being CB1 or CB2 ... he's not reliable enough despite his obvious class.

I'm definitely with you on that. Another thing to remember is that he didn't cost us anything.
Wouldn't mind having him around as a 3rd or 4th option.
The real problem is that we went into this season with only 3 CB's.

I'm happy with him as CB3 or CB4 ... but we needed 3 CB options with him, and it was a Klopp fuck up.
 
We need to buy, but I don't think we will. Klopp doesn't strike me as one to go out and buy players, knowing he has injured ones there that he has put his faith in. He also doesn't like disrupting the harmony of the squad too much either, and anyone you bring in at this time of year is a risk.

I hope we do buy, but I just don't see it happening. If it happens then it has to be quickly, not a last minute jobby at the end of the transfer window.

We (he) simply have (has) no option if Matip's injury is as bad as Jan stated. We can't go through to April with Fabs, Rhys Williams and Philipps unless we want to wave goodbye to a season where the PL is on a plate and the CL is still a reachable target.

Next time you post, ask me first so I don't come off like a really bad quiffer!

Klopp knows it takes time to integrate players which is why he prefers summer windows.
I think Klopp didn't buy a 4th choice because he never ever thought his 1st choice 3 would be out for most of the season so wasn't his top priority. We need get couple on loan at the very least. The French clubs are in disarray supposedly, many of them will either be forced to sell or loan out.
