Huddersfield have bought circa 8 decent players, Brighton a total of three, an Australian and two relegated Bundesliga players.

I'd say Huddersfield has given themselves a swinging chance.

Do you have a link? Everything recent seems to indicate that Liverpool are going to hold on to him:

The original source is Tuttosport today, so I wouldn't read too much into it. That said, there have been rumors about Can to Juve for months, so it wouldn't shock me if he does end up moving by the end of the window.

It was a Daily Mail article so take that with a giant pinch of salt.

Can't find it now though :( that'll teach me for not posting sources.

Your anti-German/Turkish midfielder hatred has driven you mad.

In all seriousness, though, given market prices, I would like to see who you think Liverpool could get at 35 million that would be an adequate replacement, let alone a full-on improvement.

Can is one of those players who is decent at everything and great at nothing. Perfect for Liverpool.

Can's problem is that he's supremely confident and thinks he can do everything, when actually he's only good at like one thing and that's sitting in front of the defence. So nine times out of ten when he gets the ball he loses it with some aimless dribble, misplaced long pass, or wild shot. The one in ten times when his dumb decision works out he looks good, but most of the time he's just losing the ball and then fouling people trying to win it back.

The best part about the Can to Juve story is that he's allegedly going to be converted to CB and be Bonucci's replacement

The one in ten times when his dumb decision works out he looks good, but most of the time he's just losing the ball and then fouling people trying to win it back.

From the reports I've read, Can actually wants to be the deepest-lying midfielder. When he's moving forward, it's usually because Liverpool have to commit more people to break down a side defending resolutely (or defending badly but looking better when thrown against the Scouse Clowns). He also took a long time to get through some injury issues, so I think the rustiness earlier in the season wasn't a sign of him hitting a ceiling. Your evaluation of him surprisingly dismal.

Also, given the physical exhaustion that comes with Kloppball and the English fixture schedule, I'd rather not let go of any midfielders until we got some more deals in place. If Keita and VVD are still the only major transfer targets left, then letting Can go is tempting fate.

Watchi Liverpool bungle the 2-legged CL qualifier now.

He did decently well as part of a back 3 under Rodgers, so this isn't a completely bonkers idea.

No, replacing one of the worlds best CB with a garbage man midfielder isn't bonkers at all.

at these prices, clubs should be giving more youngsters and lower-level league try-outs a chance.

there's clearly a failure of scouting, coaching, and back-office management that's contributed to clubs throwing money at whoever The New Sex is.
