Mangala would be an interesting signing ? A sakho type with a brain.
He has passion to defend. Can see that

If we were to go for anyone, I would pick Defoe. Getting older but remains a goal scoring threat and probably would be happy with a good wage and filling in for injuries/suspension and cup games. And doesn't seem to get injured much so would be available for most games.

There's rumours we've put a £40m price tag on Sturridge so he'll be going nowhere. Mental.

Jesus Christ. Must be trying to recoup the medical fees.

Harry Palmr · 30-04-2017 11:37AM

That story is from the Daily Heil - I've just had a look and they offer no evidence to back up the claim, predictably enough.

SuperTortoise · 30-04-2017 11:38AM

Whilst we're on the subject of overrated palyers, Virgil Van Dijk, i think he's very average.

Wasn't sure where it came from originally...saw a few people had tweeted about it.

It's clearly bollocks.

We never play him even when fit and he's obviously not worth that.

Klopp's not going to keep him around for lookin pretty.

Sturridge's presence doesn't even work as an injury lightning rod for the squad as a whole

Kerrigooney · 30-04-2017 12:08PM

The Echo ran a poll asking people how much we should be asking for him...

Agent Coulson · 30-04-2017 12:44PM

I wonder have a number of clubs approached Liverpool about Mr Sturridge already and the club let it out the *£40m price to see who is serious about buying and then hoping for a bidding war with the new tv money coming into the game next season.

*A price if was £30m it would be more believable.

Think it's pretty clear a keeper isn't a priority to Klopp after Mig's resurgence the last few months.

Despite feeling like we badly needed a new keeper four months ago I too have started to look at areas of the pitch in more recent games.

We've seen migs resurgences before. They always come after a frequent need for one.

What you don't see from those keepers till they make the step up to a top team is when they only have to make one save a game do they have the concentration levels to stay prepared all game waiting to make that one key save game in game out over a season that's the difference between a very good keeper in the bottom half of the table and a top class keeper playing for team that wants to be in the mix for trophies.

This is like the Jan & Feb period showed us we need a squad speel.... known since the late 90s by most folk.

In other news, the sky is blue, night follows day & the World is round.

Utd a goal up, fnckity

I'm sorry but you don't know your arse from your elbow.

I think 25 million would be a fair price but loads of add on like if he plays x amount a games or scores x amount of goals we get another couple of million

ShamoBuc · 30-04-2017 12:57PM

Virgil Van Dijk , He's better than average, he's good, not great though. Hard to see us buying him with Matip our number 1 and one would presume Klopp giving Lovren 100k a week, as our number 2.
I would like him for 30m or less, but I fear he will go for closer to 50m which would be a bit on the silly side, it might depend on how much we get for Sakho .

Buford T. Justice XIX · 30-04-2017 12:58PM

I see Mark Clattenburg has retired from refereeing in the PL.

Does that mean he would be refereeing the FA cup final?

mikeym · 30-04-2017 01:02PM

Come on Swansea.

No chance unfortunately. It'll either finish 1-0 or 2-0.

Osmosis Jones · 30-04-2017 01:16PM

Coutinho getting tripped in the box and not going down feels even worse now.

I would feel very happy to spend anywhere up to 45 million on him. Now is the time to go big or go home. Our back line is suspect for the last 10 years. he has everything . He will be great i have no doubt about that. What people are over looking is his pace. they way we play and push up leaves us open to quick counters as lovren is very sluggish. if we had VVD there would be more confidence in the team as he can match the speed demons for pace. he is also a leader which we as a team are severely lacking.

We need five quality buys and he is number one on my list. I would say get him at all costs but i think Chelsea, City , Barca will get him.

United to lose or draw I think, which will really help Liverpool.

... until we drop points at Watford!

At this rate, 67 points will probably be enough for 4th...

BACK IN OUR HANDS

We've got some room breathing room now.

How so? They are 2 points back with a game in hand.

murpho999 · 30-04-2017 02:02PM

All back in our own hand, I told you Utd would drop points, they're really not that good.

ricero · 30-04-2017 02:02PM

This is it now. Time to see who are the real men in this squad. I reckon if we win our next 2 games we will get top 4. Utd will drop points at arsenal next week i think
