Klopp on why we didn't sign a Coutinho replacement this window:

Nothing there that we didn't already know - he says we could have signed players but he only wants the "100% right thing" and that it made no sense to spend crazy money on the wrong players.

Sounds like what Wenger would say.

So why did he sign virgil for 75 million if he only wants 100% the right thing

Laporte is way better than vvd and cost half

BaZ87 · 3 Feb 2018 at 08:23

He didn't cost half as much and clearly Klopp believed VVD was the better player. The fact that City went for him before Laporte too would suggest that Pep agreed also.

Well thats just nonsense on both parts isnt it. Come on now.

Maybe not 'way' better but his FIFA 18 rating is 84 to Virgils 83, so he is very clearly indisputably the better player

Laporte has the makings of one of the best cbs for a long time he has it all

If you follow la liga you would have known about hom a year or so ago i cant believe none of the big boys have bought him earlier hes proper class

Otamendi came with the same rep to be fair. We will see though, he does look good from the snippets I have seen and Neville has been bigging him up, Man City don't usually sign duds under Pep.

Hope he signs and then Uefa ask for the ban to be extended to league games because frankly it should have been an all competitions ban, would be amazing. Seriously **** Evra, attacking a fan like he did.

McBain · 7 Feb 2018 at 10:52

3 months for kicking a fan.....seems weird he was only banned from UEFA competitions, can they extend that to domestic competition?

BaZ87 · 7 Feb 2018 at 11:50

I'm not sure that UEFA can ban him from domestic competitions - if they could they'd have surely done so to begin with. It would need to be FIFA to issue a blanket ban over all competitions but I can't imagine they'll do it now, if they were going to do it they'd have done it at the time of the incident.

Apparently the fan hurled very abusive language to him when it happened

He controlled himself when racially abused at least ten times, I don't see why he'd need to resort to physical violence now?

and probably nothing happened to those incidents!

Robbo · 8 Feb 2018 at 09:11

I quite like Evra, surprised he'd want to work with Moyes again though.

BaZ87 · 8 Feb 2018 at 21:19

We're supposedly no longer interested in Lemar:

Not a massive surprise really given that we made no attempt to sign him in the January. Somebody that Klopp's always been linked with and the links have never gone away is Pulisic - if I was going to bet on which attacking player we moved for in the summer it would be him. He'll cost a hell of a lot more than the £12m we offered 18 months ago though.

omnomnom · 9 Feb 2018 at 05:53

Pulisic is our owners drea. If they think hes Americas next big talent then they will spend big. The commercial aspect alone make it a gold mine for them.
