Amazing (and heartening) that we're fourth on that list. No doubt the Klopp factor has a lot to do with that, but who gives a flying one what the reason is? Our job now is to capitalise on our opportunity, in a way we've failed to do for the past quarter of a century.

Yeah but some club nobody has ever heard of is twice as popular.

In 2004 the pulling power of our manager landed us Alonso. Any danger of a similar success this time round?

Were we ever in for Xhaka?

Well, I am not sure we would have landed Alonso if we were not in the CL? Especially if we had continuously finished 6-8?

I do think Klopp has pulling power (new CB) but as Gotze incident has shown, unless we get finishing in CL places continuously, it wont help that much.

No, that would be "keine Antwort". Cloggy's Google quote is pretty close. A more literal translation would be "no details".

You're correct.
Angaben can mean data / information / details, so your literal translation is pretty much spot on.
 
This is sort of silly season, because it's Jon Moss. He's come on as ref for the second half of that unicef charty game and promptly sent someone off, much to the visible anger of the organisers! That bloke is one of the biggest tools out there.

No, it's not, I'm afraid.

It means that the asked player didn't answer the question.

The Italian transfer news hound reckons Crystal Palace and recently-relegated Aston Villa are also interested in the 21-year-old Dutch international."

Wasn't it Ben Shepherd? In fairness he has form for getting nasty in games like this. Perhaps it's he who should have known better.

Decent fee for him that

One does not get "locked in talks" over a £3 mill.deal for an unwanted loanee. Newspapers, eh?

That would be a decent fee though, and a decent move for Wisdom. I had hopes for him at one stage. Best of luck to him.

He got booked by Howard Webb for clattering Edgar Davids, which was very funny (especially because of the naked terror in Shepherd's eyes once he realised that Davids would now pursue him all over the pitch). Then Moss became ref in the second half and, even though he'd been told who'd been booked in the first half, as soon as Shepherd made the most innocuous foul (it probably wasn't even a foul at all) Moss whipped the yellow and red cards out with his usual flared-nostrilled, high-lidded, quasi-Nazi Mr Authority pose. It was hilariously stupid, and Carra was raging at him about it for the rest of the match. In fact I was surprised Moss didn't send HIM off as well! Moss and Lee Mason - they'd make a good pair of novelty bookends for people who can't read!
