Looks like you have a few quid to spend on a midfielder.

 

Who is coming in then?

Lemar seems to be favourite,,,,but I wouldn't mind Mahrez

Yes Mahrez would be a good fit.

 

Could he play CL games as well?

I saw some gossipy rubbish about Lanzini from West Ham. Not a bad footballer but light years from Coutinho's quality. You have to figure Liverpool have been working on this for some time, but if so, mum has been the word.

Yep....one reason why I'd like him. Can see us and the Arse getting one each? Altho' the 'Little Man' is supposed to be after Mahrez as well.

Couts wasn't a worldie when he first arrived....Lanzini has potential, altho being S. American, he'd probably go to Barca after we'd turned him into one

Yeah, I had seen Coutinho at Inter when he was very young and I didn't think he would amount to much. Couldn't have been more wrong. All in all he's a perfect fit for Barca. He'll slot into midfield right away and clearly the long term replacement for Iniesta.

Actually Ronnie, looking at stats on Sky....Eriksen looks a good like for like fit. How much do you want for him?

Fenway won't spend that kind of cash lol.

When you manage to sell a player for that kind of money, a guy that will by no means start every game, you just have to say "congratulations!"

 

VVD is far more significant in the bigger picture because you defense was putting CL qualification in doubt.  With a tighter defense and the remaining strength in attack you must be considered a favorite.

Are you signing Mahrez too?!!

£142m in for Coutinho! Well done for duping Barca.
£75 million out on Van Dijk's transfer fee.
Presume the +£60 million money will be spent on the defence.

really disappointed with coutinho. would never have begrudged a lad born in brazil a move to his dream club in spain, but there's ways of going about it. and the nike angle really sticks in the craw. sh*thouses.

 

i hope we try to bring another body or two in this window, maybe lemar would be nice, but we also really do need a striker. if firmino is out for a few months through injury we're kind of stuffed. 

 

mostly i hope that we actually have this coutinho money to spend and that we haven't been mugged by FSG again. if it turns out that van dijk and keita were paid for with the coutinho money then that's not very good.

it's not really duping them, he's a brilliant, world class footballer and it's about market rate albeit in an insane market. barcelona set the bar themselves with what they paid for dembele really so balls to them. 

BBC are reporting that Mahrez is having a medical with Liverpool today. He is eligible for CL. No fee mentioned as yet.

This is a surprise to me. I would've thought Mahrez's on and off performances would have dissuaded Klopp. But, Klopp could probably light a fire under him.

 

*A quick google brings up having a medical or Liverpool absolutely not interested. Go figure.

Think Mahrez may have to change his agent before we go after him! #screwyouKia

The BBC Mahrez medical news story (source Bien Sports plus a French publication) looks like duff info. If Mahrez hung around John Lennon airport for a couple of days, maybe things will change.

The wine and craft beer selection is  overwhelmingly fantastic. 

Some of the finest booze known to humanity. 

The good stuff is in the back fridge and garage ???????

Alfie better hope we spend some money this window or we will be taking the Net Spend Trophy that has had Spurs name proudly stamped on it year on year! 

 

“After Coutinho's sale, Liverpool have the lowest net spend in the Premier League over the last 2 years,at -£34 million

The next lowest is Swansea with -£19 million, while the two highest are Man City with £292million & Man Utd with £257million“

Actually Bobby if you put Countinho's transfer at 105m which is what it stands at at the moment then them figs are incorrect, i'll not have anyone take away Spurs title that easily

They've got a color analyst doing big La Liga games with an ironclad opinion/judgement about all and sundry every 30 seconds. Maddening.

i just had to google what a color analyst is, never heard that before. in england they're called co-commentators. and about 90-odd percent of them are utter berks who add nothing to the game and only speak in cliches. michael owen might be the worst of them as it goes. though phil neville is pretty appalling as well.
