Thiago is the biggest scam I swear I haven’t seen him play since that volley he scored against porto 2 years ago

didn't even know he had hip surgery, sounds like he might be back late Jan mid Feb if there's no setbacks

Thiago isn't real

 

[Haslerhasworms]

nope we're finished we had 25 shots and we couldn't even get one in if we dont get a striker in January than its curtains for us for the league

You paid overs for Jesus to get a striker and he's missing open headers from 5 yards out.
Even Richy would've scored that (if he wasn't offside of course)

 

[Haslerhasworms]

So if Spurs offered $80M you wouldn't sell him?

Huh?
Wtf would spurs do that?
We hoping Nice don't extend Todibo or if they do, looking at Dragusin from Genoa.
We also need a proper no 8 so hoping big ange has some pull for transfers

jesus isn't that tall enough to score those headers which is why we're after toney, though I can't see us getting a striker in January

 

[Haslerhasworms]

Is Toney back in January?
Has been great targetman for the Bees but close to $100m is just insane!

No. Not at this stage with the injuries we have. At the end of the season? Potentially, but not now

Never said they would, just saying that everyone has a price. And if someone offered the kind of cash for Gomez where I could get 2 or 3 replacements of similar quality, I'd take it in a flash.

yep, don't think anyone will even pay close to 100 million for him when there'll be better options next season

Matip and the 2 left backs. So we good at CB atm and we've never had a RB anyways. You don't think if the $$$'s were right you couldn't replace Gomez in the window?

Matip is out for the year. Tsimi is close to being out for the year. Robbo won't be back till Feb. Konate is injury prone. We've got no backup for Trent.

Would be madness to replace him now as it always takes time for players to find their feet under Klopp, and in Jan they'd have no time to acclimatise.

No way would we sell now and I agree

sell Gomez and get that sporting cb inacio problem solved

That would be madness imo and not that simple.

Gomez is playing brilliantly ATM.

Slots in at RB, CB and LB so is really helping out the team a lot.

As hyped up as Inacio is, he can't cover those positions so we'd need to buy someone else to cover RB.

Plus, there's no guarantees that he'd succeed.

It shouldn't be about "Which player can we sell to get this player in"..

Instead, we should bring an Inacio level player in no matter what.

Gomez can't leave the club. And he won't.

well - I disagree. there's some serious LBs you could possibly pick up on the cheap. and I don't think its as difficult to get into the klopp system unless you're a mid or a forward. Gosens would be cheap and functional. Spinazzola might be doable with Roma going backwards. Raum would be another TAA level defender but attacking wise would be awesome. Splash a bit on Netz.

if the $$$'s were right for Gomez, you could possibly do any of the above and have money left over.

villa are so lucky lmao. Need a dodgy pen to take all 3 points against fucking Burnley. Title contenders my ass

Nah. Not midseason mate and considering his current / our current form.

[Haslerhasworms]

To be fair it was a pretty late goal that did them at forest.
Nearly got a draw, bless 'em

 

[Haslerhasworms]

Also scored in TWO consecutive games so they're well on their way..
