Does January really make sense to go for him? I know Monaco bombed out of the CL but he's cup tied. Unless they keep Coutinho and bring in Lemar I don't think it really works for us until the Summer.

I doubt any move for Lemar happens in the winter but there would be huge advantages to buying him now: you ease him into the team and its style before you need him as a main player, and perhaps you find a way to rotate Salah and Firmino - who have played roughly 80% of Liverpool's minutes - out to keep them fresh for CL fixtures and a close race for top 4.
I think that he would be Cup tied either way. It honestly doesn’t bother me either.Didn't the CL change it's rules to allow teams to change the registration for a set amount of winter signings? Or was that just a proposal that went nowhere that I'm totally misremembering because sleep has evaded me again.
I agree, but I was speaking more to the idea that Coutinho would be sold and Lemar his replacement. That doesn't make sense for Liverpool in the winter -- which is why I said unless they were planning on buying him on top of keeping Coutinho in which case I'm all for it.I doubt any move for Lemar happens in the winter but there would be huge advantages to buying him now: you ease him into the team and its style before you need him as a main player, and perhaps you find a way to rotate Salah and Firmino - who have played roughly 80% of Liverpool's minutes - out to keep them fresh for CL fixtures and a close race for top 4.
Never mind, didn't realize I was looking at old postsMessi's international play has, and always will, be a crutch. Complimenting him on qualifying for the WC is what it's gotten to.
He clearly is more effective, but that is ridiculous.
Emenalo was unceremoniously dismissed. That probably hurts things.Matt Law has Chelsea going after Lemar, Barkley, a striker, and possibly a left-wing back if they don't get Lemar. They view Lemar as both an option at left-wing back and as an attacking option. Looks to be either Lemar or Sandro as the big marque signing, at least that's the ideal plan.
Alex Telles and Philipp Max were also named.
Hopefully Emenalo being at Monaco now could help facilitate a deal with Chelsea.

You sure that Pool is selling Coutinho in Winter? I don't know if I can see that, always thought they were going to keep him for a full year and sell him for a lot in the summer window. Whatever happens, I think Arsenal are the front-runners solely on how desperate they will be. I can't see Sanchez signing a pre-contract with City because he probably wants to move the soonest as possible, will sign one as a last resort. Because of that, it would open a spot and I suggest that Arsenal are the only team that can guarantee Lemar the most playing time even if there is zero CL that comes with us.Yeah that’s Liverpool’s Coutinho replacement. We will see how it goes.
I don’t think he goes this winter but stranger things have happened. Liverpool has the money though and Klopp may want to get Lemar in early to settle in so he can be firing on all cylinders by the start of next season. Also he may want to avoid the feeding frenzy Liverpool can certainly provide a lot of playing time especially with the way Klopp is rotating the squad. Lemar would be an automatic choice whenever they went 442 and will get plenty of minutes. I don’t think that’s an issue. If Coutinho goes that’s even more time for him as well. Monaco will sell him to the highest bidder and I don’t think it’s more complicated than that.You sure that Pool is selling Coutinho in Winter?

That team can't defend. I guess they don't defend too well now either, ter-Stegen FC.
Seems like Van Dijk is City's main january target.
