100% do not want a player with his injury record.
Why not Torres?

If that's what he means then ok, I don't think that makes them as a whole club, more "football people" led, we don't have a DOF, but we've got a different structure. But I don't see many Liverpool fans blowing smoke up their arses and calling them football people some will praise literally anyone to get a dig in.They have a DOF I believe? What’s your take on that? Does that make them better run than us? I don’t know
That’s what I think too. We’re a well run club and a good team, good coach etc. A loss and a draw later and everyone else is the epitome of well run clubs!If that's what he means then ok, I don't think that makes them as a whole club, more "football people" led, we don't have a DOF, but we've got a different structure.

I was referring to this Michael Edwards guy who annoyingly just seems to get deals done without much fussIf that's what he means then ok, I don't think that makes them as a whole club, more "football people" led, we don't have a DOF, but we've got a different structure.

In my humble opinion, we will also get deals done early mate but we need stability at the club. Edwards before Klopp arrived was getting criticized by the Liverpool fans for his poor signings. But under Klopp they signed players for a specific way of playing the game which entails fast transitions/high tempo football.I was referring to this Michael Edwards guy who annoyingly just seems to get deals done without much fuss
Now there is a CB partnership I could get on board with but would never happen in a million yearsHarry Pinero who is a United fan, had Konate on his YouTube channel.
You never know mate. Harry Pinero seems to be working on a deal for Konate and hopefully Woodward and Judge can show Ramos the way to the theatre.Now there is a CB partnership I could get on board with but would never happen in a million years

I agree. The injuries will ruin him, he already lost valuable time in his improvement due to being injured so much at a young age.We'd be nuts to sign him. Look at his injury record. We can't afford another Jones or Bailly.
He’s been in place for a while now(2016), so it’s not ‘just seems to’. Five years on some of it is working well. Ultimately it’s Klopp who calls the shots on who he wants though.I was referring to this Michael Edwards guy who annoyingly just seems to get deals done without much fuss
Basically this. Think he's got so much potential, but we shouldn't be taking the risk on some one that injury prone. For all Maguire's faults, it's been very nice having a consistently fit CB.We'd be nuts to sign him. Look at his injury record. We can't afford another Jones or Bailly.
He has a very dodgy record re injury. In the most physical league in Europe right now that’s going to place even more demands on his body. Yes, he’s a better defender than Upemecano but maybe there’s a good reason BM went for the latter.My worry about konate is that if we don’t get him now with his release clause at 40m we will be quoted 80m next time we go back, or Liverpool snap him up to play beside vvd
I think the main reason was probably his superior passing. Konate is a better defender and stronger aerially, but Upamecano has the potential to be one of the top ball playing defenders in the world.He has a very dodgy record re injury.

There could be a multitude of reasons why they went for Upemecano. Obviously we’d have to check his injuries very carefully and perhaps put him on a management plan. But look, Pallister played with a bad back, in fact United installed a special bed on the team bus just for him. Ledley king played for years as did Paul McGrath with dodgy knees. Neither of them trained full time to save them for match days yet both were among the best ever cbs in the PL.He has a very dodgy record re injury.

No big loss with his injury record, good player but never got the hype looks slightly clumsy on the ball and bit too reliant on his physicality.David Ornstein saying LFC have made big strides in signing Konate.
Ed is no longer in charged for that anymore now.Meh would have liked him here. Although his injuries are a concern. Good price though. But frustrating that Ed only comes to life in the last week of every transfer window.
Yeah I doubt anything will change under that Murtough guy. Been part of that failing system for years.Ed is no longer in charged for that anymore now.
Price is set by his €40M release clause is it not?Reported to be around £35 million. Potentially a great deal if he stays fit but that seems a big if.
Hard to argue with the price though.
Murtough was in charged with our youth and woman’s team before so he wasn’t part of that you called failing system. So we don’t know whether it will still be the same system or no.Yeah I doubt anything will change under that Murtough guy. Been part of that failing system for years.
Yeah you’re right.Price is set by his €40M release clause is it not?
Seems good as a 1vs1 defender, might have to develop a bit on the ball mind you judging by the stats in the article in the Athletic.Yeah you’re right.
I had seen a tweet saying a deal for €40 million had been agreed but I’ve now just seen The Athletic post that’s the price Liverpool are paying to match Konate’s release clause.
Still a good piece of business all things considered if he stays injury free. Which, again, is a big if.
Fits the exact profile Klopp seems to want in a CB though.
I read an article detailing that it was aerial dominance (and speed) Klopp valued in a CB because it allows him to push the defence up high and box the opposition in.Seems good as a 1vs1 defender, might have to develop a bit on the ball mind you judging by the stats in the article in the Athletic.
