I find it really weird that we're signing a guy a year from now. What if his leg falls off? Are we stuck with him? I actually didn't know that signing guys a year into the future was something you could do. Never occurred to me really.

Good to see we're getting guys, but next year is called "next year" for a reason. That's the sh** you worry about....you know....'next year'

Supposedly the club is still after Van Dijk.

Actually....after having read all the articles you linked...I guess that's something they do in Germany more. Interesting.

Well.....So I wonder if this is Klopp telling Coutinho to suck it up, and play 1 more year? They tried to get his replacement, and couldn't this summer. He'll be here the next, so just quite crying, and get out there.

Sounds like this guy is a solid player. Good stuff

If we get VVD & Lemar, I'll pack Phil's bags myself! :wink:

Supposedly the club are still after Van Dijk & pushing for Thomas Lemar (Monaco).

Would be great to get a couple more guys this year. Hopefully at least 1 of those guys is a legit defender. If Coutinho comes back, and actually gives a sh**....and we get a really solid defender (would like 2) I think we might make some noise again this year. Prob not a title....but in the hunt maybe.

Sounds like I aughta look these guys up. Damn internet made this stuff too easy. There's no excuse anymore, is there??

Van Dijk is a defender at least. I hope we get him. I'll take both, don't get me wrong...but if we can get VD and get Coutinho back, I'd be pretty happy.

Van Dijk is the CB we desperately need! He's one of the better CB's in the PL. Will likely cost 75-80m to get him away from Southampton.

Thomas Lemar is a forward that at times has played as a Mid for Monaco. He fits well. Another quick guy that can score goals. Rumor is the club is offering 70m for him.

Nice....let's hope we make it happen.

Henderson & Gini were fantastic. The Midfield dominated today. Karius was shaky as usual lol. But, first clean sheet...

This team just confuses the hell out of me.....there's no other way to put it. This team can beat Real Madrid one day, and then lose to Real Salt-Lake (just about the dumbest team name in history, IMO) 5 days later. Salah seems like a really good get so far. And I continue to love the Mane signing.

No Coutinho, I noticed. I take heart that we can play like that without him. It sorta seems like we're moving him at this point. It's a damn shame. You have a game like today, and you wonder why he doesn't wanna at least stick around and see something through for another season or two? Perhaps we can take that step, and bring a title soon....sure could use his talents, no doubt.

On the "half-full" side of things....$100+ mil should allow for some decent defensive signings.

Next game, is $$$Man-$ity$$$ the twenty-trillion dollar team. Would be nice to have another showing like today. We can then lose to Burnley the following week. That seems more our style

I've just been following football since 2012, but Liverpool and Man City are the two teams I watch. Plus I like this Rashford kid on United.

De Bruyne and Mane are my two favorites to watch. Mane was a great get. Salah too.

I was disappointed that all of England missed out on Hirving Lozano. Especially if his transfer fee was only 8 million. He was linked to Man City. But it would have been shrewd for Liverpool or frankly any team.

Yeah...how crazy is that? That kinda came outa nowhere. I guess he turned down Chel$ki to come to Liverpool? Never thought I'd see that. That's pretty awesome.

No defenders though! Come on Klopp!!! We need some quality D!

Apparently we're offering someone 60-mil. I think this all means Coutinho is out the door. This is some serious spending

I like Ox and he's looked really good so far this season but wonder how much gametime he'll get at Liverpool in CM.

He'll be probably back at WB before the end of October.

A CB???

So is the window officially closed now? We still have Coutinho, right?

Howdy......aways great to see more fans. I agree....Mane was a fantastic get. So far I am really impressed with Salah. I don't know who Lozano is, but I'll have to look him up. If he was a defender....then yes...we certainly shoulda got him. Our defense is not so great right now.
