Good luck to Mona, hope she enjoys working at LFC! A few weeks ago it was LFC about to sign Gotze but now, just like on so many other occasions, big London clubs (Arsenal and Chelsea) have now joined the chase and will almost certainly outbid us. Why does this happen every year? Just the same a couple of years ago with Christian Eriksen who we almost signed, week after week, only for Spurs to come up with the couple of million quid we wouldn’t pay and they got him. If we want Gotze, get him NOW . . . before Arsenal or Chelsea beat us to him.
We’ve got to get a new keeper with – as everybody who watches German footie on telly knows – Timo Horn being the best available, we’ve got to have a new central defender as Sakho and Skrtel aren’t good enough and Toure is too old and slow so let’s make progress on that front as well and then we come to the strikers . . .
I’m getting sick and tired of Daniel Sturridge’s sulking if he’s subbed and the number of games he misses. Is he happy? You’d never know from his facial expressions. He gets the ball, he shoots, even when there are other people better positioned. Not sure if he’s a team player but could we do better than him if Arsenal or West Ham want him? Who could we get?
This is gonna be an interesting few weeks but I just hope we SIGN players BEFORE they are snatched away because we either won’t pay an extra couple of million for them, whereas other clubs will, or we dawdle until players get fed-up waiting for LFC to make their moves . . . which is what happened to Eriksen.
Lallana has improved massively in the last few months but, apparently, Spurs want him. He’s played very well alongside Coutinho, Milner, Can and Co. so it would be difficult to replace him without it being a world star such as Gotze. Would Lallana want to leave LFC at this exciting time? He’d be mad to do it but, in football, you never know.
