It could be we smell a bit of blood with all the turmoil behind the scenes at Barca. If the interest in Dembele is legit we might be able to take advantage and get an absolute steal.

I think the only one who drives a ‘normal’ car is Jürgen Klopp in his Opel, but he’s paid a lot of money to drive a normal car  ;D
Its an estate into the bargain 😀

Surely he must be allowed to drive another car when he is not on official LFC duties? Be a bit shit having to drive an Opel/Vauxhall when you are as rich as him.

I don’t think he is.

He used to have a leased Porche in Dortmund, but the second he signed his deal with Opel, he had to stop driving it and it sat in a garage till the lease was up  ;D

I love how the Bale transfer is the big transfer news for the day. He's so far from what he was, but the UK media are playing it like Spurs have pulled off something huge here.

Do they realise what Thiago will do in this league?!

I think his Liverpool career has already peaked. He’ll never make as big a contribution to this club as this.



We should keep it as this perfect moment, and not run the risk of ruining his legacy.   ;D

Unrelated, but look at Mane there at 3-0 down

At the same age that Sarr is now (22), Mane has signed for Southampton. If the reports are to be believed, we were interested in him at the time, but decided to sign Markovic instead, for a similar amount. Our scouts obviously thought that Markovic is a better prospect than Mane.
So what you're saying is that our transfer team are not infallible?

Thiago would walk into any European top team. There isn't another club in the PL apart from LFC at the moment that can attract a player of that level.

Bale has played something like 4 games in the last 6 months. He will need weeks to get up to match pace, Spurs will be basically be paying for him to get fit. By the time he does they could be out of Europe, out of the League Cup and off the pace in the league....they are hanging their hats on him being and immediate superstar....don’t see that happening to be honest
