I think we'll end up playing a few formations, even in-game. Now we're not just going to have wingers swapping sides, but players like Coutinho swapping attack for midfield. The opposition won't have a clue who to mark!
Yes, this is what I was thinking. I hope we're right!

Hadn't seen that - I was referring to towards the end of last season when he was proposing Coutinho could play in a midfield 3. And he mentioned fluid formations then in connection with that I think. I wasn't claiming to have invented how we might play footy this season hehe

Klopp asked about Coutinho/Barca: "The word is 'not' (for sale). There is no interpretation for that. There is nothing new."

Yea, but everyone has their price apparently. And we know FSG have already done the deal to sell him anyway.

Good number 9 play from Salah there. Interesting.

Some thing has been said by Leipzig (or whatever they're called) about Keita. We're saying Phil's not for sale at any price, they're saying Keita isn't either so neither can change their mind without losing face.

Please stay Phil

Fair point, well made! hehe Thankfully Coutinho isn't throwing a strop and demanding a move though. But I do actually hope VvD stays where he is.

Is PC training on his own these days? Must have missed that.

Vvd acting like a spoilt brat has no bearing on the club saying he is not for sale.

Has he actually refused to play (I genuinely don't know)? I thought he'd just requested a move multiple times and as a result you'd made him train by himself and not included him in pre-season tours.

Players politely asking for a move but still willing to give their all for the team that employs them don't tend to get told to train on their own and left out of pre season tours, surely.

To be honest, the very fact he's not involved in pre season games indicates he'll either rot in the reserves until he bucks his ideas up - or he'll be sold.

Firstly, youtube clips.
Secondly, going off people who watch the bundesliga and seeing him in their leagues team of the year.
He seems to be a huge improvement on Can and Wijnaldum.
Defensively and creatively. I think his and Hendersons energy infront of the back 4 would have helped us out when teams like to counter us when we sometimes get caught out.

Man Utds lack of success was more the managers rather than aquisition of players.
Watch Mourinho make them a force over the coming years.

I still think VvD will come. He's been training alone for the past week. I think they will take the massive amount of money that we have offered and get rid of a player that ultimately doesn't want to play for them.
Interesting to hear. I don't think he will be sold now, but was just wondering as a lot of people want him. The issue is youtube highlights are often very good looking but doesn't mean much often. Markovic joining us with his highlights on youtube plus their fans saying he was amazing has not really shone for example! I haven't seen him, so had just wondered if it was from rumours or if you watched him regularly.

They'll then use the money to bid £39 999 999 on Suarez so it looks like they are trying to sign someone good for the fans, but deliberately just below asking price, so the selling club doesn't actually sell them. Then write a letter to the fans apologising while laughing all the way to the bank about their net gain.

Can't gauge ANYTHING from youtube clips. Except that most, if not all, pro footballers have some moments when they do something great on camera.
I watched a video of the lad from Hull we just bought, looking really good. And yet even their own fans say there's much room for improvement, with Klopp saying he has potential. Video means nothing much.
