We got ours . 19 year old Paraguayan Josue Colman. Hope he is a difference maker we sure could use the help.

Happy Boxing Day!
Gonna take a look at the table over my lunch break to see how things are shaping up in the PL this season.

Real barn burner this year. City is really going to feel the pressure of having to play 60 pt football for the second half.

More likely, City invincible or City 100+ points?
I'll take the latter.

Oh, and I don't think I've broken 52 points in a half season even in football manager.

National League South has a pretty good one going. http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/national-league-south/table

Man, Leicester and Burnley City all causing problems.....
Doesn't bode well for games vs bottom of the table Swansea or Stoke. Arsenal's wondering how they can add "City" to their name before the next match with United.

(please be good, please be good)
Aside from signing a player at a position where they absolutely have to improve, it's a statement signing.

AND WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO WITH THIS LOAD OF LIVERPOOL CASH, GAO? SPEND IT ON ANOTHER LEAD-FOOTED DANISH MIDDIE?

Transfermarkt lists it at 78.8 MM Euros (no idea how they purport to know this info so soon with any certainty.)
If accurate as reported, its by far the highest transfer price for a center back in football history.
Stones is second at 55.6MM Euros
3. David Luiz 14/15 transfer to PSG - 49.5MM Euros
4. Rio Ferdinand 02/03
transfer to United 46.0MM5. Otamendi 44.6MM
6. Bonucci 42.0MM
7. Silva 42.00MM
8. Thuram's 01/02
transfer to Juve 41.5MM9. Mustafi 41.00MM
10. Davinson Sanchez 40.00MM

Southampton might have sold too soon. Kompany just removed due to calf strain in the 11th minute. VVD's price is probably only going up at this point.

I am not bitter...unless VVD learns how to play DM, he won't solve Liverpool's defensive problems...

It's an Englishman... playing most of his games in the PL. I think that's pretty spectacular, and doesn't happen very often.

Footballguy
I don't know that any Liverpool fan thinks VVD alone will solve all problems. But signing an extremely good CB has to be considered a good thing.
I'm of the opinion that a GK is now priority #1 to improve the D.

I didn't think they looked all that great today against Newcastle. Newcastle looked even worse though.
I agree that they have looked good this year so far, but that defense is still a little suspect, and that's what is going to be a problem in Europe IMO. [insertliverpooldefensivejokeshere]

Maybe repost, but WTF?
£286million is not enough you say? Are you not responsible for how that money has been spent?

from a purely business aspect, it makes absolutely zero sense.
Lets look at some numbers.
*In the last 4 years, Liverpool have spent 173m on players from Southampton.
*Just a few months ago, 80% of the entire Southamptom club (all players, stadium, front office, coaching staff, academy, youth teams, etc etc) sold for only $200m
Take a minute to digest those two bullets

They've allowed 12 goals through 20 games. I guess we'll see how good the defense is when they play a team that can have the ball more than 35% of the time, but there's not really another defense in Europe that jumps out at me as definitely better. Maybe Atletico, I suppose.charvik said:

If a team is willing to give a gigantic offer, I think Real will pull the trigger on Ronaldo in the summer.

Really thought Hoiberg would be special. Not sure I've ever been more wrong about a player.roadkill1292 said:

HOT TAKE ALERT: The only thing that has made United a 43 point team and not a 37/38 point team like LiFC and Spurs is De Gea. I think he's probably been worth close to 5 pts in the table by himself this year.
I mean, I absolutely love the way Ederson is playing (his distribution is flat out amazing, like Pirlo wearing gloves), but De Gea is just head and shoulders above everybody at preventing goals himself.

Agree with all of this. Ederson distribution is just insane and he makes it look easy.
I will say that Liverpool defense has actually shown some good stuff of late (excluding the 3 goals against in 5 minutes last week). Robertson has done well. Klavan/Matip partnered well (Matip underrated, IMO). Adding VVD will hopefully keep Lovren out of the lineup.
Really just need to get a GK that doesn't let soft #### through.

Just in case anyone else is curious as to the last time the name Loris Karius was mentioned in this thread, the answer is December 10, 2016.
The Bournemouth defender levelled the scores at 3-3 and it was his shot that Karius spilled into the path of Nathan Aké for the late winner. Asked whether Bournemouth had targeted the 23-year-old goalkeeper as Liverpool’s weak link, Cook told TalkSport: “I’ve got to be honest, we did.
