Ffs. You're actually as bad as Mong.

You're a precious snowflake, forums may not be your thing.

Mong you talk so much random rubbish just to sound like an accomplished internet troll. Zzzzzzz

 

[Mong]

Awww

Cheer up Emo kid.. Try not to punch anyone in the face today.

My favourite part of today was Callum Wilson scoring an offside goal with his arm and convincing the Ref to over turn the linesmans decision.

Even though your team won 5-0?

Good 5-0 win though, overall we seem to be winning a lot more games that we 'should' be winning. Still don't understand why Mignolet is still playing though.

£75m

Stoked to get him when considering it looked like City were going to swoop, but £75 million f**k me...

I guess that’s the market these days

 

[Twizzle]

No, its ridiculous money. 35-40 mill is probably what he is worth

Also being a January transfer would up it a bit too.

A new keeper this period would be great too.

He is worth what teams will pay. United and City were both going to bid in the 70's, so Liverpool had to as well.
Makes our push for top 4 a lot stronger now.

Stevie G and some coaches are pushing for Butland, scouts are interested in the Roma keeper. (This is all online source atm)
I was more open for the Kevin Trapp link but he hasn't been playing much.

The market doesn't care about what players are intrinsically worth these days.

Graham Kelly has a lot of hope to get Goretzka on a pre-contract agreement. That'd be a big coup considering he's attracting interest from the likes of Barca and City. Our links with him in the papers have been nowhere near as strong as they were with VVD so that would basically be a surprise signing.

 

[saint.nick]

I also highly doubt we will sign a goalkeeper in January

or what teams are forced to pay, you could have bought 2 for that money

you seem to have a lot of confidence in him making you a stronger team, he is only one player, Soton have conceded 30 goals already this year, one man cant defend on his own

There's no such thing as teams being 'forced to pay'. Clubs set these fees because they know its what clubs are willing to pay. English teams are getting relatively richer and are now comfortable with paying more money.

You make a valid point in the second paragraph, but Liverpool plan to have a unit of better individual defenders than Southampton, and VVD is one of the key pieces of that puzzle - he was never planned to be a magic cure.

Mate, we learnt our lesson from 2014-15.
Instead of replacing Suarez, we brought in 4 players for the price.
We already have a good CB in Matip, so we essentially signed 2 centrebacks for that price.

 

[Jack_Napier]

Matip is dross and I doubt he is anything but squad filler after the summer TW window. A centre half pairing of VVD and Matip would be shocking imo, both get caught out of position way too much, VVD luckily has pace to recover. Matip is the Yaya Toure of centre half, lumbering giant.

It's a lot of money for VVD but it's not my money so who cares. Klopp's wanted him and he wanted us so hopefully that brings the best out of him. His Saints form has been less than inspiring but he's better than what we have at the moment.
