They should rename themselves The Limp.

It wouldn't change my mind on making the moves... but Curtis has helped win us the last two matches we played in and I get the next Gerrard vibes from him. So, I want him staying as 6th midfielder. I hope that happens.Seriously?
We sign Thiago
We keep Gini
And now ppl are asking what about Curtis Jones???
I think we've decided the Ox is kinda done here, sadly
Ox is kinda useless out wide though. I expect him to move on next year tbh.I'm delighted by this.
The plan could be to keep Gini and push Chamberlain out wide. That's the only way the midfield numbers work as it stands.
If a midfielder doesn't make way then I'll be amazed we also go for Sarr or alternative wing cover.
Huh, I thought it had to go over 100 pages before it happened.
So for that reason I reckon it's a dud..
Haha oh dear. TPG and Halmeister must hang their heads in shame.What does TPG think?
I can see Ox leaving now. Lovely guy but surplus to requirements.I'm delighted by this.

Oh, most def. But who wants him?I can see Ox leaving now. Lovely guy but surplus to requirements.
I think you're wrong here.
He's now a sitting, ball playing DM. He's been playing alongside Goreztka (a box to box CM) recently.
He will give us a new dimension. Central penetration. Right now, almost everything goes through our full backs.
We are signing a genuine world class midfielder. Probably top 5 in the world. This is a tremendous statement.
For years, we've all complained about our workhorse midfield. Finally we're getting a midfielder who is an absolute baller and who is very at good at pressing/intercepting too!
As Skysports says..
"Only Wolfsburg's Maximilian Arnold reclaimed possession in the middle third more than Thiago in the Bundesliga last season - and he played 1,055 minutes more than the Spain international."
The guy is what Keita promised to be...
"The Bayern midfielder would also offer an improved dimension to Liverpool's existing midfield tranche: the ability to run with the ball. His frequency of completed dribbles is outstanding, given the fact he patrols central areas of the pitch."
Hahahaha!What a roller coaster ride this has been.
It's almost as exciting as that time I ordered chicken wings and the waitress wasn't sure if there was any left and she went into the kitchen to find out.
Oh, most def. But who wants him?
Made of glass with high wages.
Although Thiago wasn't in Klopp's plans I don't see this affecting Keita who is now starting to live up to his billing. As listed above: Fabs, Thiago & Keita could be an awesome midfield. We've now got great cover all over midfield too.I think he has to be worried about playing time now, unless Wijnaldum goes.
Fucking amazingHow would our first eleven look assuming Thiago slotted in night on straight off the bat.
He will be a DM.. when fabs is playing CB.. Fabs will be 4th Choice CB, first choice DM
Milner is going to play less this season, and we have lost Lallana.. He is a direct replacement for both of them. Excellent presser with an eye for a pass .
If we want to compete in all competitions we need bodies in the team.. Not just numbers but quality players in the team..
We need a great passer of the ball in midfield, because when we are missing our full backs, we struggle to break teams down, with VVD and Henderson only being the other quality passers of the the ball in the Team
Shaq the other great ball player.. is always injured..
