    Agree with that, and it tells you a lot about the state we are in right now.

    This transfer says * ALL about us, other than that we were looking at a quality player, and almost got him. 99.999% of the clubs in the world will lose out to teams like Liverpool if they're competing for a players signature

    We had a * agreement. They reneged... I understand why they did, as I said, but it's bullshit to pin this on us * around... he was done, ready to sign and then they pinched him. It happens, we'll live, but people are jumping on this when we did * all wrong.

    There's plenty we can focus on that's OUR fault, but this isn't one of them

    It’s poaching on the total schnide, but unless it’s inked on the paper, by player and club I guess there’s no rules for other clubs to approach.

    Not necessarily so. Players will look at where they can get first team football and where they can progress. Liverpool is an attractive alternative but the lad knows he aint playing when everyone is healthy.

    It looks like they are defiantly signing Ozan Kabak on loan, an option to buy for 18m.
    Also they are trying to sign another one.
    Klopp even said himself that normally they wouldn't look at Preston to sign a player but because of the injuries they had too.

    Klopp really doesn't mind shuffling the pack and moving a CM to CB while leaving a CB on the bench.

    Only one winner there...

    “An agreement” means * all.

    Get the deal done, sign a pre-contract and this won’t happen.

    4 Liverpool CBs injured and he's on the bench. I'm sure the money will make it worth it for him though.

    Can't blame him for making that move :56:

    Football and financial no brainer..

    Probably take any player a while to settle into what's demanded.

    He will go on loan to a club like Burnley side next season, and never play for Liverpool again (if he ever does). It was a bizarre move on Liverpool's part.

    Lol, Klopp just said there the centre halfs on the bench would only play if "there were no other options"

    He will get a decent loan and he knows it, as previously said he will head to Burnley or Southampton type club while collecting the Liverpool money. I think he knew that when signing. To be honest I don't understand why Liverpool didn't just stick an under 18 centre back on the bench.
