David Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 6 minutes ago, McLovin said: It would be nice for Liverpool but I imagine Griezmann would want to be an undisputed starter. For 125 million euros, Liverpool would be better off signing a proper striker to replace sturridge and can rotate rather than someone who can play there but it's not their main position. They were linked with Timo Werner in January for 40 million euros. That would probably be a better fit as he's a natural forward, a lot younger than Griezmann and Klopp knows him being german https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2019/01/02/report-liverpool-could-sign-rb-leipzig-ace-timo-werner-on-the-ch/ I’m not sticking a HITC link in my browser history, get that out of here! My European football knowledge isn’t what it once was so I will bow out of recommending players they should sign. I just look at Griezmann as being in that category under Messi and Ronaldo, might be a dated view but think any team could find a way to fit him him.

No I think you’ve raised a good point, Griezmann is certainly in the tier of players below Messi and cr7, but I’d say that Salah, Mane and Firmino are in that category too. I wouldn’t say their forward players are the reason why Liverpool didn’t win the league though, two of them finished top of the golden boot and Origi came in and scored important goals when Firmino was injured. I think the one real position Liverpool are missing is an attacking midfielder who fits in a three man midfield, I don’t think they’ve replaced Coutinho yet. Apart of wijnaldum and Milner(where most of his goals were penalties), Liverpool don’t have a lot of goal scoring midfielders, in contrast to Man City where Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, David Silva, De Bruyne and Foden scored important goals . That could change because Oxlade Chamberlain is fit again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I think the way Klopp has Liverpool setup it’s getting the very best out of every player and if he was to leave, not sure they would be in the title challenge come March. He would be a fool to tinker too much, and if any of the players start believing they can go on to better things, might be worth giving Coutinho a call.

Cam the Ram Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 If they're getting £13 million for a 20 year old left back who's struggled to get a start in 2019, we should be looking at near £20 million for Bogle after the season he's had. The transfer fees now days are bonkers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should see their goals for column a lot healthier. Not that you lot need to worry about that though ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRam Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I don't understand how a club can go from Vidic and Ferdinand, and all the great defenders who came before them, to Phil Jones and Chris Smalling and... be happy with them?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they are “happy” with them, as they have tried and failed to replace them, probably just see their priorities being further up the pitch now and think they can do a job whilst they sort midfield and attack out where it will cost a fair whack. May have some coming through the academy they are hopeful of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
