Tick Tock..

I think my biggest issue with FSG, aside from all the frugality and indecisiveness in the transfer market, is this continued unwillingness to bring in a proper experienced director of football with a proven track record. You'd think this was the most important role in the club. Were they put off for life after Commolli? I would have gone out an paid an absolute premium for the right man.

It's fairly simple - get the right man in with the right vision 10 year vision and squad building ability - from playing style to recruitment. Then we don't have to go through a rebuild and shift every time we inevitably change managers every 3 years or so. Now with each manager that comes in, the club's fortunes are completely and utterly in the hands of the manager, from recruitment to playing. They should have, in hindsight, told Rodgers to piss off with his demands to not work under a DOF.

Yes, this has clearly been their biggest weakness through the years. I suspect they like are afraid of stepping outside their comfort zone and keep appointing English-speaking nerdy stats-obsessed sycophants rather than someone with loads of real football experience (and strong opinions that usually go with that experience) who perhaps might expose their lack of knowledge of the game.
 
In a market where Siggurdsson would smash our transfer record if we bought him er have to take a step back as well. We need improvements, but I am not sure Siggurdson would have added more than depth to out squad. We can't buy average quality just to buy at this stage.
 
Rumours of Ryan Kent going on loan to Hannover.




*Edit: Some even claiming he's going to RB Leipzig

Squad getting increasingly thinner if true.

This seems strange , he looks completely capable of being an impact sun over the course of a season and what do we do when One of the wide men inevitably gets knackered now ? Does this mean another attacking player is inbound ?
 
Right job done.
Now *Looks at shit needs sortin list*

1.Sign VVD
2.Get Coutinho back in the squad
3.Sign Keita
4.Sign a DM
5.Sign a striker

Go down the winchester order a nice pint and wait for this to blow over.
You missed out on sell, give away, shoot, Moreno

1.We won't Sign VVD
2.Coutinho gets back in the squad, but in Barcelona
3. We won't Sign Keita
4. We won't Sign a DM
5. We won't Sign a striker

Go down the winchester order a nice pint and wait for this to blow over.

Or more than likely
 
Klopp taking indirectly about emres contract was loltastic, hopefully this will allow us to get atleast VVD over the line ..
 
Kinda disappointed to hear nothing on transfers today, I'm hoping for some positive noises tonight or at the very least tomorrow, otherwise I'm going to start losing faith that we'll do anything to sort this shit out.
 
So the transfer window closes during the week of an international break. Typical FIFA.

Going to make it awkward getting last minutes deals sorted with the players scattered all over the world.
 
Meireles and Bellamy were fucking great.
I dont really see the point.
Its like saying January is the best month to sign players because we got Skrtel Agger and Suarez.

... and Couthino and Sturridge. You may be on to something here....
 
It's been pretty quiet apart from the Coutinho ramblings, even from Twitter ITK accounts. Are we waiting to beat the Arse first this Sunday or something?
 
There seemed to be a bit of a general consensus that we were waiting for CL qualification and then the ball would start rolling and it's been worryingly quiet in the two days since.

Jim White is holding Van Dijk hostage for the next week...

I may be wrong but the consensus was probably more of wishful hope/thinking rather than concrete information.

Not holding up much hope personally...
 


Bet it's some rubbish announcement like we've signed a new official toothbrush supplier or something
