So Melo was our #1 fit we were after all along then yes?
I agree, I think Tielemans is better than a lot on here say he is and donāt think he has an attitude problem at all. Heās playing for a garbage manager. Melo hurt himself in a car crash whilst drunk driving, Iād be more concerned about that than anything Tielemans has done.
But that doesnāt mean Iām absolutely desperate for us to sign him, there are better fits out there, particularly bearing in mind what our midfield is actually missing right now. Thereās been a lot of clamour on here for players who wouldnāt actually solve our current midfield issues.
Jones is back, Thiago is back soon. Melo might not even be needed all too much. He might end up looking quite good. Iām not expecting fireworks but Iām at least willing to see him first before throwing a tantrum.

The party line since Klopp decided he wanted a midfielder about a week ago was that we were āattempting to find a mix of what Thiago and Naby Keita provide with ball retention and carriesā
Since people who seem to know what theyāre talking about are saying he is very much like Thiago in many respects, then I wouldnāt be surprised that out of the available midfielders that he was very much our number one target.

You shouldnāt write this after writing the following post
Nobody has said we HAVE to go for a loan player. What if we have definitely got a deal in place for Jude next year? We may also have had talks with another midfielder and decided that those 2 along with our current crop is enough. Klopp may have said he wants a player for ONLY 1 year so they donāt get in the way of the new incoming players or the youngsters coming through. All of this may be wrong though but i find it funny how youāre bringing up others using baseless suggestions when youāre using them.
Should also mention MarcusBerglund in this too as heās already decided that itās the owners fault and wonāt be swayed. Youāve just decided weāve made a mistake and have to get someone on loan. You also think we left it late in the window but Klopp was expecting Thiago and Jones back soon, he may have decided we could make it a few more weeks especially as he didnāt know Keitas illness was ongoing and Hendo would do his hamstring beforehand.

Oh, hell no. But if we need to āpanicā, better to panic with a loan player with potential upside than to get rinsed on deadline day for someone we didnāt want just three weeks ago. It appears the club has a āwho we really wantā, probably not available until next June. It can be frustrating, but the discussion we are having is a lot like the one that was happening around our defence - when we ended up with VvD rather later.

How do you reason that.
Oh, I hadnāt realised.
Looks like a shorter Adrian, whilst sat down.
Have we handed him a long-term contract then?
The guy has not cost us a beanā¦ wages yes, but that is to be expected
We need someone we can put into the side like āRight Nowāā¦ he fits the bill
He is fit and available, which to me makes him more important at the moment than the many that are still on the treatment tableā¦ Another way to look at it, is that we might not need him in a few weeks when others become fitā¦
Lets give the lad a chance, for he might surprise us

Juve are all over the place. Im seeing now they are in talks to send Zakiaria to Chelsea, someone who only got there on a long term deal 6 months ago.
They have at some point in this window floated getting rid of every single CM they already had except for Locatelli and the only ones they have left are the ones they couldnt find moves for or players they brought in - Pogba (injured), Paredes (loan). I think people really underestimate the human side of this and hopefully we can provide a once good player a platform to show heās better than he was allowed to show while stuck in that mess of a club.
