They've already been punished for that one I believe.

For a laugh an experimental 5-3-2 with wingbacks Forster Cedric Stephens VVD Yoshida Bertrand Romeu Davis Tadic Gabbi Gallagher Midfield is the hardest to work out I want someone to play killer through balls, to mix it up with the wingbacks crossing, hence Tadic but it probably leave us light in midfield from a closing down working hard point of view.

Maybe all teams from Liverpool should be banned from the PL until they learn to play nice ...I can live with that

That our midfield is are not up to it was pretty well demonstrated last season its our weakest area of the squad but it seems the club ( or at least Les) don't see it that way when he said we have the best midfield options in the league last summer it was laughable.

What this report https://a.msn.com/r/2/BBEm2xV?m=en-gb

WTF was that

Isn't he one of the talk****e crowd along with Micky Quim...

It's Liverpool the talks will probably be so "secret" Lazio won't know they are going on.....

He is no where near as bad as people are making out. Not a top quality full back by any means but a decent back up player for squad depth.

Just sounds like his agent using us to secure a better deal out of Torino tbh.

And yet none of that matters if the club just says no. What Liverpool and VVD want doesn't come in to it when he is only one year into a nice long contract. For once saints hold all the cards they just need to show some balls to go with their winning hand.

yes we destroy teams like San Marino and Scotland in qualifying how do we do in actual tournaments....

Because England are an extremely average footballing side...

But he did clearly meet/talked with Klopp without our permission hence Liverpool's hasty retreat.

well its works for JWP who gets away with being bang average because he is still young....

Not something that normally stops us buying a player

Yeah my thoughts exactly "although Saints feel well-placed to withstand bids as long as Van Dijk doesn’t agitate for a move." Is like a invitation for him to kick up a fuss.

I don't mean all in one go obviously but people suggesting we have a lot of players so we don't need to get anyone are missing the point there are quite a few average players in our team that we could upgrade with better. If we really aren't selling any of our better players (and unlike previous summers having to find replacements for them) now is the ideal time to replace some of the lesser ones with better.

we need ship some of the lesser players and replace with better surely we can find upgrades on JWP, Clasie, Davis, Long, Forster and possibly Tadic, Boufal and Hoj. If we are keeping all our top players then this is the ideally time to upgrade the squad with some quality.

I was under the impression a lot of our senior players where in the 65-75k a week bracket now are they not?

Nacer Chadli has apparently fallen out with Pulis and be might looking for a new club likes to play AM better than what we have?

Well I'm pretty sure saints would have taken 90 million for Mane had anyone offered 90 million...

Once the window is closed he will basically have a choice play or sulk and train with the under 23s it's not ideal but the club needs to put it's foot down and show they are not a soft touch any more.

On the other hand if we can get in someone better and ditch Austin or Long it's a no brainer. The whole plan is to recruit players who are better than the ones you have surely?

Looks like another pool target trying to force a move I wonder if VVD will be doing the same... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4671802/Liverpool-target-Naby-Keita-attempt-force-transfer.html
