EvilHawk posted:I think we would have kept him if he hadn't had a crazy release clause demand (iirc he wanted something over £100k/week, but a release clause <£50m). There's also an added fact that he'd simply get less game time this season. Fabinho is going to be at least our second choice DM. Keita is going to be at least second choice CM. You'd wager Henderson is going to play more often than not. We're looking at Fekir who is probably going to be playing in CM as much as anywhere else. Throw in everyone else and that limits the game time for someone who wants to be our first choice number 6. Can is not a good player and frankly I won't miss the occasional wondergoal since we probably conceded more goals from him cheaply giving away possession or fouling people than we scored thanks to him. I think it's no coincidence that some of the team's best performances were after he just stopped playing in the second half of the season in favour of three of Henderson/Wijnaldum/Ox/Milner in midfield instead.

Brony Car posted:What’s the source? He seems too old with too high a wage for FSG’s tastes. And, like you said, he’s not consistently great. He's only 26, same age as Firmino and one year older than Mane and Salah. Presumably he would just be a backup for the front three which I guess would be okay? We could really use some rotation for next season so they don't get burned out by playing almost every game.

Wengy posted:Shaqiri is also good in the 10 position, as I said, I don't think Liverpool are really stacked there tbh I don't think Liverpool really play with a 10 right now, but I can't tell if that's because Coutinho left and Lallana was injured and Klopp didn't trust anyone else to play that role, or if it's because his 4-3-3 doesn't have an attacking midfielder because the front three don't need one and the defence needs the help of three more defensive-minded midfielders. Like, could Shaqiri do the kind of box-to-box thing that Ox and Wijnaldum were doing last season?

Wengy posted:I'm not sure he'd be effective in that role; he'd definitely have the stamina, but I don't think the Ox/Wijnaldum position would really play to his strengths. But who knows. In any case, he'd give you an option for those times you might want some added creativity in front of the deeper central midfielders (and a mean free kick / corner taker), and he'd do well on both wings. That's cool, I'd be happy with him signing for the relatively cheap fee that's being said in the media. Seems like a solid depth signing and if Liverpool are planning another season with long cup runs we could really use the depth.

Waroduce posted:Is there a rule on the maximum number of times a player can be transferred in a window or year? Or can you just buy em and flip em like pancakes if you want I think you can only play matches for two teams per year (can't remember if it's season or calendar year though) but that wouldn't stop a player from being transferred like ten times in one window while no matches are being played. Presumably the thing that stops it is that eventually the player would say no and refuse to sign a contract with the next club.

The Kimoa Kid posted:Why would you leave it this late when it's such an obvious need? Because it's so obvious that every club will demand sky-high transfer fees. 65m for Alisson ffs that's an insane amount of money for a keeper who conceded 7 goals when we played him in the CL semifinal. Any sane manager would make up a story that Liverpool actually aren't interested in a keeper because in football saying you're interested in anything ever means paying more for it. Just look at how Klopp's transfers went last season, he made it really clear which players he wanted and ended up hugely overpaying for some of them because it was so obvious he wanted to sign them and not anyone else.

The Kimoa Kid posted:Don't only approach super obvious targets, maybe? Leno is by nooooooo means a guarantee, but he only cost 20m. That's exactly what Klopp and Liverpool have done so far this season, signing Fabinho completely out of the blue when no one even knew they were interested in him. The point isn't that Liverpool are going to sign Alisson, the point is that Alisson is the keeper people keep linking to Liverpool and as a result the price that's touted for him is insanely high. It would be the same no matter who the keeper was because everybody knows Liverpool need a new keeper. All I'm saying is don't trust anything any manager ever says during a transfer window. Klopp might sign a new keeper or he might not but saying he definitely won't because he said he trusts his current keepers is dumb because he might be saying that because it's true or he might be saying that because he wants to try and keep transfer fees down.

I don't mind Shaqiri as a backup so the front three can rest occasionally, also I think he was cheap as hell so it's not like he cut into our budget for signing better players.

I don't think this is CL money, this is the Coutinho money. Liverpool had 150m sitting around plus whatever the transfer budget would have been for this season anyway, and it looks like most of that's gone on Fabinho and Alisson. I think the club would still have money to sign Fekir if they want to, but I don't know anything about him except that he played about five minutes at the end of most of France's World Cup games so yeah. Before anyone says anything, I'm pretty sure last season's signing weren't paid for with Coutinho money. At the start of last season Klopp wanted Salah, Keita, and VVD, and so presumably he had the transfer budget to sign those three even before selling Coutinho. Maybe some of the extra money Liverpool had to pay for VVD was covered by the Coutinho sale, but I think most of that money has just been sitting around burning a hole in Klopp's pocket for six months.

I can't speak for all Liverpool fans but I'm happy we're addressing our keeper issues. I don't know a ton about Alisson but people who've seen more of him say he's good so that's fine with me. We're spending a lot of money but that's the market these days and there aren't a lot of keepers available. I might have been happier with someone like Schmeichel who's proved he can win the Premier League, but Klopp doesn't like shopping around once he's decided on a specific target so oh well, I think he's earned some trust when it comes to transfers after Salah and Van Dijk were so good last season. Maybe it really is better to overspend on players your manager thinks will significantly improve the team instead of haggling over a few million and ending up signing a bargain backup Wenger-style.

That's a weird post because you forgot about the existence of Robertson who was a revelation last season at left back, and also our new midfield signings Keita and Fabinho, neither of whom are really attacking midfielders but we didn't really play with an attacking midfielder very often last season, I think Klopp prefers a proper 4-3-3 with three central or box-to-box midfielders and three out-and-out attackers.
