Keita will cost them mega money as well, right? Don't know the exact fee.

Only 48 million.

Okay Pizy, I heard you the first time...

Very good defender but it's crystal clear Coutinhos on the move. No way are Liverpool a club to spend 123M on two players (Keita & Van Dijk) w/o getting anything in return. 

Think Coutinho leaving will have a much bigger (negative) impact than the arrival of Van Dijk. Yes he will probably improve that defence, but Coutinho is the X factor in that team.

[Leif 6,006]

when i look in his eyes, i dont see a warrior.. i see a skittish deer, which has had some brutish performances, but perhaps due to being caught in headlights, evoking adrenaline.
in consistent day to day combat, he lacks the deadly focus of the river salmon. 

 

[Special Juan 27,093]

They still need someone to play next to him

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Ignoring the insane prices for a second, there is no doubt that Keita and VVD lift that team up massively. They already have arguably the best attack in the league and with the additions of Keita and VVD, their mid and defense also gets a significant boost. Still too many holes in that team to challenge city though.

[Georgy 439]

We are pathetic that's the truth. Excluding Van Dijk who is no way near worth 75 mil. A club with half our revenue spunks such money while our worries are to end on a plus each season, disgusting stuff.

[Pizy 17,860]

Though Coutinho is looking likely to go, Liverpool are assembling one hell of a team. Still weak in a few key areas but their style of football will ensure they'll batter most sides.

[!Hazard! 3,394]

We'll struggle to make the top4 next season if the board don't wake up. Top LWB, CM, RW, RWB are an absolute must. Get two of them next month and the other two in the summer.

 

Oops this was Virgil's thread. Well good for Liverpool, they are building a very strong squad and VvD is exactly what they need at the moment

[Unionjack 7,531]

Its a bit of a sod that a club like the dippers can get in a player they know they need yet we just watch.

I bloody hope someone takes their thumb out of their arse and earns their wages.

[Laylabelle 9,292]

That's the problem we seem to jump into action near the end when it's to late. Or do the it's fine we're happy with squad talk. Hopefully this window ain't wasted otherwise long 

[cfcs most wanted 657]

Liverpool's next match is against Leicester and Man city is also coming up. I guess Virgil won't be a Virgin anymore because these teams will fuck him 

[different level 1,056]

£75m, lol. Not worth half of that.

[Magic Lamps 11,446]

He is not remotedly worth that much and he probably know that himself. Imo he is not even half a level above any of our cbs. He will improve pool because they are shit at the back but a single defender does not make a defense great. A good defence coach does. Which klopp is not.

[LAM09 6,535]

No idea how Southampton managed to get £75m for him. Got to laugh at the fact City were seriously after him as well.

 

 

[BlueLyon 9,359]

If our defence turns out to what is expected, I dont mind him at pool. Better there than city for sure.

But if we get problems in defence, we just missed on quality solution.

Either way not sure what people are about. Yes the fee is absolutely ridiculous, but he is fantastic CB. 

[Thor 2,117]

One of the best CB's in the PL. 

 

People acting as if he is just above average simply because he went to a rival. He is a walk in for any team in the league. 

[Fulham Broadway 16,386]

Fucking stupid amount exacerbated by TV revenue entering the game, and Southampton sniffing their desperation. They need a keeper too and will have to pay Desperation Tax on that deal too.

Makes me realise we dodged a bullet with Stones and Christiansen is actually better
