The OFFICIAL Liverpool FC thread - Arne to Slot right in?

I'm pretty sure Ramos would have been a legend in any era.. A player that home fans love and opposition fans love to hate.

Really? I have a problem with so called tough guys who roll around like children when they get a bit back. Ramos is far from a legend. He's a sneak and a coward.

And that's before the CL final. The outrage over that game is pathetic.

Strange, I didn't hear you give off about Suarez

Suarez is a different animal completely but if you look back you will see plenty if occasions where I said some of his actions were bad. Suarez I would call a short fused lunatic. Ramos is different completely. More like Costa.

I wouldn't have a major issue with Ramos if he was just dirty. It's the way he lies down when he gets hit that annoys me.

Are there any 'hard men' left in football? Honestly can't think of any.

Sergio Ramos.

No he's not.  Dirty maybe but not hard.

Agreed, the polar opposite of a hard lick. Hard men don't go to ground like big girls blouses every turnabout.

It's more an indictment of Liverpool if this soft lad physically wrecked two Liverpool players than it is of the player himself. Ramos knows how to play at and over the edge. I don't know many truly great backs who weren't the same way.

Paul McGrath and Franz Beckenbaur are two.

[gawa316]

Shaqiri will a 12 mil release clause is being mentioned. At that price, it's a no brainer.

Yeah perhaps. But I'd expect they were both very appreciate of having a Kevin Moran or a Berti Vogts alongside.

It's amazing how Messi has stayed alive, let alone played 600 matches for Barcelona, when his career has run in tandem with that unhinged psychopath Ramos.

Lest we forget the hallion Pepe.

Yeah agreed. He'd be coming as a squad player and for that price worth the gamble. Has buckets of talent but can be a lazy sulky hoor but would add much needed depth to the squad.

He does not strike me as a Klopp player at all. Does he have the required energy and work rate?

Decent cover for the front 3 positions is a must for the upcoming season. Its not easy to get someone with quality to come that know they are likely to spend alot of time on the bench. For that reason I think Shaqiri could be a good option for 12m

While I'm sure it'll be discussed at whatever committee we have that decides transfer, I'd also be surprised if Klopp doesn't veto it. A lovely footballer, but doesn't run (or at least I've never seen him run!), and I doubt he'd be happy getting 10 minutes at the end of games, so a potential sulker/disruptive influence. Although maybe I'm wrong on this as it's just the impression I get from him. Personally I'd have him ahead of Lallana in the pecking order.

Klopp is building some squad.
Remember when Ricky Lambert was the major summer signing...
