The OFFICIAL Liverpool FC thread - #DankeJürgen

Thank christ that, in England at least, such disgraceful behaviour at matches is more or less a thing of the past.

I see Liverpool are coming to the Aviva in early August to play Bilbao.
Tickets go on pre sale tomorrow​. What do they mean by pre sale as opposed to general sale? They don't go on general sale until August 2nd.

There are a number of pre-sales. There is a FAI pre-sale, a 3 pre-sale, SSE Airtricity pre-sale and then I think it is general sale (if there are any left!). Wouldn't mind taking the middle lad down as had a good wee day out at the Celtic v Barca match last year.

June 2nd surely for general sale?

If they anything like the United game the prices will be scandalous..

Got a couple there now. E55 apiece for the cheapest ones.

Still far too much for a pre season friendly. A friend of mine got Europa league semi final ticket for just 30 euro.

Where did you get them from?

Looks like Salah could be on his way from roma for north of 30m. Had a great couple of seasons in italy and only 24 but I'm nearly certain we were close to living him up for 11m a couple of years ago before Chelski gazumped us.  From memory he didn't do much with Chelsea but obviously has developed since then

Yeah we were in for him a few seasons ago alright.

Salah deal to be finalised in next day or two by the look of it

Big money. Has he been tearing it up for Roma? Talk of Ox staying at Arsenal now.

It's not big money, run of the mill players will be going for much more. It's the way of the world now if you wanna buy you pay through the nose.

[Walter Cronc]

True. 35 million bought Xhaka

He has been very good at Roma the last couple of years. My worry is that he was just OK at Chelsea, albeit playing under Jose I think. Very different system he will be going into under Klopp if he signs.

Agree what Boycey said above. £30m is the new squad player price for the leading clubs. Ridiculous fees going to be paid this year.

Salah- I think he is a good fit for Liverpool, his pace and work rate fit the Klopp model.

My fear for the upcoming year is that we saw a drop off towards the end of the season in terms of performance. Some of that is due to the toll taken on the players of the high press. There were not enough players of the caliber required for a title challenge to play, and not enough of the bench to step up as yet, even though it was good to see a number of the youngsters getting blooded. I think that there has to be a significant addition to the squad, Solanke is a good addition. I think Salah is a good start, and we need more like him.

Obviously there are a lot of pie in the sky rumors this time of year. Lacazette would be huge, but unlikely, Keita is the one I think we should break the bank for, and Van Dijk would be a great pick up.

I have always said that every great team has an outstanding keeper. Big Kasper Schmeichel for me would be the best candidate for Liverpool. I don't believe that either Mignolet or Karius will be good enough this season, and a goalkeeper for Liverpool this season will really need to excel in concentration through the game, and I think that we have seen both current keepers struggle there.

I am a big fan of Studge, and carrying him as a luxury is something that I believe Liverpool should do, but another player is needed for that role week in week out. Lacazette would be immediately impactful and would be an immediate fan favourite, but I'm not sure that Mr Henry is going to fund that kind of spending.

Id like to see how Joe Gomez and Danny Ings could do in a squad role.  I think Milner's days in the left back role are numbered even without Mendy arriving. I think he's a solid choice as a holding midfielder, but again only as a squad player.
