Wanyama's a great stopper but we'd rip our hair out watching him on the ball if he's here

Plus Jurg wants mids who can do everything like a Can anyway

I dunno why the likes of Ben Smith keeps saying we're still in for Dahoud this window even after signing Zielinski, it's the most unlikely transfer this window

Listening to Red Men TV discuss how the Lucas Moura rumour came about, I'd say that one is a lot more bullshit than Dahoud.

We might not even have to crack the kitty and still bring Mane and everyone else. Then maybe we'd buy a striker as well..?! The sales of Benteke and Allen cover Mane, Skrtel covers Karius, Matip is in on wages free'd up, Zeilinski could be covered by Mignolet or Markovic but whatever happens I think Klopp and the club will nail their dealings, at least financially.

It would be cool if we made the big transfer a deep midfielder, like the next Sahin for Klopp. I wasn't sure if we would have the room in the squad without European footy to bring another mid in but if we're serious, and I think we are, we could bring one in and still give the game time required to Zeilinski, Grujic, maybe Stewart has to be in the conversation too. Lucas is the backup to them all so if those 4 are behind Hendo and Can and a new signing is that overstocked with 7? I guess Lucas barely counts as he'll be a back up CB and super back up mid. Klopp might trust Milner as a deep mid this season again though, and hope Hendo stays fit and Zeilinski and Grujic come on so it isn't as much of a requirement. I got a feeling Grujic will be like Stewart and not feature a great deal. Just so many questions to be answered in this huge window.

When are the Euros over?!

I'd rather get no-one in that possie than overpay for Das it Mane.
And miss out on a target that Klopp wants? If we can't get Gotze then Mane is our next target. I'd rather we get players that our manager wants than have to resort to players not that high on our list just to save a few dollars. It's not my money anyway...

Wanyama to Tottenham for 11m. Less than what Southampton paid for him. Yet we're ******* around and paying them exuberant fees.
We got Clyne for 12m which is a much better buy. Wanyama isnt anything special on the ball either. I'd say 11m is just abut right for w player like him almost out of contract.

The squad is way too bloated as is, let alone for a campaign without European football. And that's not even taking into account signings like Grujic, Zielinski (assuming he comes) etc.

We need to be more ruthless. We are a mid-table side as things stand right now thanks to the players we have. We talk during the season about making changes to the squad and then when it looks like we might sell them, supporters go soft and say that they would prefer that we kept them.

We need to seriously streamline the squad, and that will include selling players of some value. That's life.

Agreed. For me we need to sell Allen, Benteke, Balotelli, Ilori, Luis Alberto & Skrtel.

If we were to bring in Zielinkski, Hector, Gotze & another quality young striker our squad will be looking pretty good.

Obviously the major doubt is Gotze who is a long shot due to no CL. I just hope we don't sign Mane if Gotze can't happen.

Add Moreno and Ibe and I think that's pretty much right.
