It looks like Serie A is the only title race in Europe that’s got any juice in it anymore. Even then, Inter lost yesterday and Juve beat Roma, so it’s gonna come down to Juventus and Napoli.

Man, I did not think Koop was THAT desperate. Van Dijk is pretty good, but not worth much more than £45m. £75m is a steep price to pay for one defender and I don’t think this one signing will fix their defensive issues. They still need fullbacks and a new keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreno's been a revelation and Robertson has done adequately in his absence. On the right, Joe Gomez and Trent Alexander-Arnold have been fantastic, specifically Gomez. And if you add Van Dijk's fee to the £0 we paid for Matip, a £75m CB pairing isn't ridiculous in today's post-Neymar transfer market. We we need a new keeper though, 100%. Hoping we can go after Oblak from Atlético but I would not be surprised if that didn't come off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how much they just spent on Van Dijk, I doubt they have the cash to go for a guy like Oblak unless they sell Coutinho. Even then it'd be a hard sell. It'd be more likely Oblak goes to a club like PSG that wouldn't have a problem paying 60-70 mil for him. Keepers are a hard market, Liverpool could try to go after Donnarumma, but they might have to go with someone like PSG's Kevin Trapp who would only be a minor upgrade.

MJWalker45 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I don't think they'll fix that until the summer. Blowing £75 million on Van Dijk screams desperation. They're trying to stay in the top 4, not win the league this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabcake Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Liverpool have agreed to sell Phillipe Coutinho to Barcelona for £142m. It’s currently the second highest fee in history, but will become the third highest when Kylian Mbappe’s move to PSG is “made” permanent. Honestly it really stinks to see him leave now as opposed to the summer, but I don’t fault him for leaving. South Americans adore and idolize Barca, and I can understand him wanting his move as soon as possible. It also stinks that now anyone who we want to buy from (e.g. Monaco or Leicester) will jack up their prices knowing that we’re (in jean-ralphio’s voice) flushed with cash. But no one is bigger than the club. We’ll press on and I honestly believe the current Liverpool squad is strong enough to get top 4 even without Coutinho.

On the other hand, he has literally zero experience on the men's side of the game. No playing career, no coaching or admin experience, zip. Not to say there's no cross over, but it seems like the CSA handed him the job because they were afraid he was going to leave the women's program for another country.
