Liverpool is getting Aaron Long from the Red Bulls on a loan it looks like. He is prob the best CB in MLS. He would be in the Prem right now if not for transfer regs last time around. I believe Southampton tried buying him. Don't think he's a UCL level CB, but he's coming in with a whole lot to prove which you can't always say for loanees.

It’s going to be Mustafi. I wish they’d get 2 but one is fine for now. I don’t know who Aaron Long is but I’d trust Jurgen if he wanted him.

“Utah! Get me two!!”

Glad Harry Kane finally hurt himself with that jagoff move he always does.

Thiago for Liverpool vs. West Ham:

Most touches (119)
Most passes (102)
Most final third entries (15)
Most duels won (8)
Most tackles made (5)

This was with Origi and Shaqiri starting up front with Salah.

He’s not playing with Lewandowski anymore and not slowing anyone down either. If he’s higher up the pitch, all good.

Hopefully they can make a chase of it in the next few months. Looking forward to seeing who got injured today.

Liverpool signed a defender from Preston today. Looking to get one more before the window closes. That second goal gave me a boner. Not gonna lie :) lol

USMNT jailsexing TandT

Bryan Reynolds looks to have signed with Roma. Saw him in the stands.

I heard the UK wouldn't admit Long into the country or issue a work permit becasue he is so notorious for having "bloody dodgy hair cuts".

We will need every fucking one of them

Michael Edwards just sold Mustafi to Schalke and Liverpool doesn't even own him. LOL.

This is classic stuff. Also keeps up Liverpool's weird January tradition of buying two players on the same day who play the same position.

They'll get a big money centerback this summer as well but two today will help them carry on through the rest of the season.

I mean.... we really just need someone (two) solid CBS that are not liabilities back there so we can pull Fabhino and Henderson back into MF. We are only 5-7 points off first (MC has game in hand though). Unbelievable really when you think about it.

Mustafi to #S04 is done! That should open the door for Kabak joining #LFC. Medical is already booked. #AFC #DeadlineDay

Getter done. We need bodies right now.

Liverpool could have two centre backs for less than £25M.

Ozan Kabak - £2.5M loan fee + £20M
Ben Davies - £2M

I love the guys heart but Matip needs to be sold. He cant stay healthy more than two games in a row. Phillips is playing well but not completely buying in on him yet. Williams needs more time (he is making yound man mistakes).

Im almost at passing on Gomez too. His injuries are becoming more serious and often by the year.

They're going for three now. Davies, Kabak and they are pushing Marseille for Duje Caleta-Car. Stay tuned.

Matip's contract runs through 2024. He's 30 in August. I think you can get good money for him but everyone knows he's injury prone at the moment. At least he is in England.

Phillips is a back up. He can make the senior team. Start him in domestic cup matches.

Williams needs to go on loan where he will get games. Simple. Too much being asked of him too soon. Not his fault.

Gomez is only 23 and has suffered some bad freak injuries. He can also play fullback. No chance they give up on him this early, nor should they.

Doesn't Matip got 3 years @ 120 week left? No one will pay that for an injury riddled player. Good player when healthy.

Yes. Wouldn't underestimate the silly market for center backs now, even with the pandemic still going.

He's very good when healthy. He simply isn't a starter in the Premier League. The ideal partnership is Virgil and Gomez. There is going to be competition now.

2021/22 could be some season if all these guys are fit and there are fans in the stands again.

Would be easier to just have a Liverpool thread like we do other teams.

This is the EVERYTHING SOCCER thread. In all fairness when this thread was created, the forum was populated by a bunch of Neanderthals who thought soccer was primarily populated by persons acting like this:

Agree. Not trying to be a dick about it. We have NFL threads as well as team specific (Browns, Bears, etc...). Or just change the title to "Everything Liverpool and some other soccer stuff"

Nothing is better than the people who join soccer conversations for the sole purpose of making it known that they don't like soccer.

Like every uncle at Thanksgiving that needs to remind the family they don't watch NBA Basketball. Yes, everyone knows and no one cares.

Liverpool FC is a soccer team. This was the right place as far as I knew.

I didn’t mean to infer you were being a Dick. Having a bit a fun. Maybes it’s worth opening a forum and Subforum for teams but IMO there isn’t enough of a dialogue going to support multiple threads about soccer. I’d love for more people to post on other teams but it seems there are a still only a handful of posters who regularly contribute to this thread.

Nah, I think 1 thread for soccer is fine. I like seeing the Liverpool fans freak out at the thought of just finishing top 4, as if that wasn't their best hope just 2 years ago ;)

Truth is, I was trying to be a little Dick. And if it's one thing Liverpool fans know, it's little dicks. All in good fun :)
