😆 Milan are paying some crazy money, 25m euros for 31 year old Biglia. Lolito is a master of getting big transfer fees.

Linked to Golovin. Might wengs have unearthed another gem?

Agreed - my point is more to do with the numbers of starting players they are signing, and the speed with which they are taking direct action.
Also we've been linked to Kessie, Rodriguez, Kieta & Belotti in the last couple of summers so it's not as if they are buying dross.

A new Dzagoev?
Doesn't look like a DM as it says at the start of the video.

Liverpool Exclusive: Klopp willing to pay Arsenal £40m for Oxlade-Chamberlain

Would bite their hands off for that price tbh. Maybe get Sturridge in return, one of their crock + some cash for ours.

Agreed & I think Sturridge would be better able to play more minutes in our style as we are not so intensive off the ball meaning less demands on his body. He's still a better goal scorer than our current CF options with the possible exception of Sanchez. That said I'd like to see them together as part of a front 3 with Ozil.

If Welbeck spends this much time injured at Arsenal then imagine what it would be like to have Sturridge here. He'd play 5 games per season.

Bryant

We should go in for Belotti again.

Was talking to some LFC supporters at work and they say the word is that Sturridge's injury issues have been rectified with his trip to the States, but the reality is that his style of play doesn't suit Klopp's style, regardless of his capability as a goal scorer.

85m release clause?

GooneriC

£50 million + 1 and they can have a sniff.

mdgoonah41

mdgoonah41

lorddulaarsenal

Belotti doesn't seem all that to me

I'm just throwing out another player we can go for. He'd be cheaper than Mbappe or Lukaku. There's not many in Belotti's age bracket with his production aside from the likes of Kane, Lukaku, and Icardi. I like the other parts of his game as well; he works extremely hard and is relentless, similar to Costa/Suarez.

As for the types of goals he scores, sure it might not be impressive, but he is versatile:

Here's a table comparing Belotti, Kane, and Lukaku:

Khanuppet

Buying aguero could have a similar impact for us as buying van Persie had on United. I'm all for it get him in and pray he stays fit.

Shady

There's chat that we will bid for Rodriguez. Probably houseboat at this stage, but the calibre of player we will need to replace Sanchez.

Rex

Problem is we need James to play WITH Alexis rather than as a replacement.

Klaus

Belotti is a proper striker. Big, quick, predatory and deceptively skillful. I'm not sure whether he can reach the level we should aspire to, but then again I'm dead certain that Danny Welbeck will never be anywhere near it either and he still started for us last season.

Claudius

Klaus, you're right. When folks are always complaining about the quality of strikers we are linked to I always like to remind folks that it's been 9 windows since we lost van Persie, and there are no signs that we are going to ever bring in the next Henry. Would you rather sit around and wait for the next Henry while we wince everytime Welbeck and Giroud are in front of goal? Or will you take one of the better but not super quality options on the market like a Belotti or Lukuaku or Lacazette?
