Shinji Kagawa

I'm not in favour of signing players that failed to adapt to the Premiership. This is how Chelsea ended up being saddled with Veron and why they are currently stuck with Falcao.
 
We've already got too many not quite top class floaty players on our books.


So have most teams. In my opinion most of us could pick an 11 given the financial clout that Chelsea, City and Utd can muster, even Arsenal pay higher wages.

We shop in the floaty, could-be-good/could-be-shit market place where most signings are a gamble. It's just a fact.

Hopefully our new manager and his team will be better recruiters but I doubt it, the difference will come with better coaching and motivation.
 
I think it'll be a bit of both. A manager needs to have a coherent strategy for the future in order for him and the club to find the right players to implement the strategy, and I'm confident Klopp will do better than Rodgers in that respect.
 
Loads of tumors of that happening here in Japan, but I doubt it.
We have Firmino and Coutinho as well.

Fucking hell - what on earth has happened to everyone today ? With their sokd and tumors .... I'm off to investigate the other threads to see if this is contagious.
 
I wouldn't oppose any player Klopp wants. Shinji is a class player and I was gutted when he went to the Scummers and equally happy when he didn't get much game time.

Is Joao Texeira not a similar type player to Coutinho? Hope the lad gets some game time to develop. I would like to see Firmino put his hand up. He hasn't set the house on fire yet but there's a tidy player waiting to explode.
 
Fans always suffer from a bit of rearview mirrorism when a new manager comes. Will they sign someone they signed for a previous club? No, I hope he finds younger talents who become OUR new stars.

That seems to be Klopp's preference as well. He obviously wouldn't be averse to the club buying top of the shelf ready players, but he probably takes more satisfaction raising new stars.

Yep. Klopp is rightly noted for his ability to find relatively 'unknown' players. And Kagawa is 29 yrs old now, really not what we need going forward even though maybe a decent stop-gap. But we don't need him now and probably ever.
 
Id pass on him, he failed at Utd and he wasnt much use at Dortmund last season when he went back. They made the mistake we usually make which was signing a player after one standout season that they cant replicate.

There have been suggestions that some of the players we brought in during the summer which Rodgers didn't particularly want were actually bought after unofficial contact with Klopp. Firmino would be a prime suspect to fit into this category, as he played (very well) in the Bundesliga before moving here and could well have caught Klopp's eye at that time. Here's hoping.
