Are we? I thought the noises were that they were surprised how good the uptake was. Hospitality behind the goal would be a tough sell though.

Also hate the fact it's Pardew.

So is it because we've got a new guy in there messing up the system. Or have we just been individually s***e? Can't see us breaking them down as they now park the bus. And we still have to stop them scoring. Lol

5 points clear in the champions league spots with a win tomorrow.

If he could stay fit he gets in any team. I can't see our high pressing style being conducive to him considering his fitness record is similar to Sturridge.

https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/journalists-conned-fake-whatsapp-number-spreading-riyad-mahrez-transfer-rumours The solid info was a fake. It's why our journos were quick to say it was b******s. I don't think we've ever been that interested.

https://twitter.com/MelissaReddy_/status/954318263005188096 It doesn't sound like the worst loan deal in the world but i don't think we'll take it.

It was originally a story in Don Balon. Which means it's made up nonsense.

It'll be a loan deal they want I expect. If Chelsea do buy Caroll I can see West ham coming in for him.

If we went for our top target (Allison according to Joyce) he couldn't play against Porto anyway. I'm not sure who we could get who could play UCL.

They wouldn't sell us a bag of chips from their concession stand so it doesn't matter whether we could do with him.

Who was the goal keeping coach under Rafa? Corrigan left in 2004 (and he was terrible by all accounts) with Achterberg taking over in 2011.

Mig is (with a few obvious exceptions, Arsenal being the latest of them) a great shot stopper who does not control his box at all on set pieces and has terrible distribution. From what i've seen of Karius he has all of Mig's bad qualities without the great shot stopping. He hasn't had a long run in the side due to injury or being dropped. It's obvious we're going to get a keeper in the summer (and with any luck not a moneyball one) but i would honestly prefer Mig until the end of the season than Karius given what is still at stake and that now is not the time to be experimenting. Klopp really does seem to have a blind spot when it comes to keepers. We don't know what's going on behind the scenes with Mig though which might have hastened his demise. And i would take Dudek any day over either of these two and he wasn't that great a keeper. Also Joyce has written in the times today that we'll defo be having a new keeper in the summer and that Allison is the top priority (and he can't be got now) So we're definitely seeing the last days of Mig.

Chelsea are in as well now.

Would be happy with him or Allison.

He has a release clause (100m euros) so he is in theory getable.

He's not even a journo anymore. Just a fan.

Aside from his play in the final 3rd I though Gini played very well today.

Lazy from Gomez. Just like against Arsenal. Useless from Karius.

We're going to need at least 3 I think to win this.

Reading that it has Sturridge and Milner also at 120k. Even if it's not entirely accurate we know Coutinho was our highest paid player at around 200k after his new contract so it gives an idea of how much extra 400k on one player would be.

Could we afford to pay one player 400k a week? Probably. Would we? Not without f***ing up our whole wage structure. Who is the highest paid player is probably Salah now that Coutinho has gone and that is about 120k a week if this is anything like correct. http://www.totalsportek.com/money/liverpool-player-salaries/

Yep and it ruled us out straight away. Anyone complaining we should have got him needs to look at his salary. He's decided on Man U purely because they've gone way over Man City's salary offer. We could never have been in this race.

Sanchez is going to get 400k a week from Utd. Bats*** money.

If we get 30m for Sturridge we've played a blinder. No chance.
