Liverpool: Reds look for top money for striker

Decent money. It’s better that we have money and maybe we’ll get a little bit more before August 31. You buy, you sell.

“They need somebody up there, someone who can be consistent, a big man who can hold the ball up”, the Sky Sports pundit was quoted saying on the Croydon Advertiser. Not because they won’t do it.

He insisted that it is “really important” that the rest of the strikers in the squad remain in shape and don’t “have the feeling we don’t care about them”. “We are pushing for him and we want him to be transferred to the club”. When you’re good enough to score four goals you need to avoid [conceding] three. This player can be injured and then maybe you’ve got a bigger hole.

Having no European football will help Jurgen Klopp because he will have more time to prepare his players to play his pressing style, but I think a top-four place is 50-50 at best.

Instead, Klopp views Ings as a key part of his side and believes he is finally approaching full fitness to be able to show his importance to the Liverpool team. “I have no idea what will happen”. Everyone has bought into his methods and we’re a force at the moment. Come on, open your minds, go for everything, fight for everything, each Cup. If it’s about us I know its bull***t and if it’s not I think “that could be possible, that’s really interesting”.
