Erm no we wouldnt. We needed a quality CB and a quality DM and we got neither.I'm not at all surprised we haven't signed a CB. If Klopp was sincere in selling LFC to VVD, saying he envisaged the defender as THE key player, a real leader for the team, a veritable legend in waiting, then it would have been perverse to have then looked around for anyone else. If a player is deemed essential then he's essential. The cock up was that ridiculous farce that was a mixture of our incompetence and Southampton's outrageous hypocrisy. But if VVD is Klopp's choice then we should resume attempts to get him in January. There's no point signing another so-so defender in the meantime. If we HAD signed an alternative in the meantime, everyone on here who's moaning about us signing no one would be moaning about that alternative not being up to it.
Oh... We will. But no one is manning the fax machine at Southampton now.We didnt even make a bid. Sky just reported as told by their vice chairman.
Fucking lol.
The lass at their ground spoke to the vice chairman this evening. No bid recieved.We haven't made a bid? That doesn't make any sense.

Id be working under the assumption that they have told us they will resurrect their complaint about us if we bid again.There has to be more than meets the eye there.

Stop it man. Dont do it to yourselfAssume nothing. Honestly, this isn't over yet.

We're one injury away from having Ragnar Klavan as first choice CB
I'm guessing Klopp is playing a long game – he identified VVD as the defender he wants and will get him in the team eventually, even if it's not this summer or this season, just like Keita. It looks bad if you think Matip and Lovren are a "disaster" that urgently needs some kind of solution, evidently Klopp doesn't see it this way.
No you'll be like a guy whos been given a girls phone number youve dialled it 5 times and its a dead tone, so you try changing the last digit to see how that goes.You'll be like, he kept the faith in our darkest hour, when the weak of heart wavered and lost hope, he stood, a beacon of hope, like Winston Churchill facing the power of the third reich in 1940.

StrawsGomez, bro.
Klopp has spent just over £4m on central defenders since he arrived
Steven Caulker - LOAN
Joel Matip - FREE
Ragnar Klavan - £4.2m
He was brought in due to defensive shortages but only made a few sub appearances as a striker.Caulker was a striker
