The german Media linked us with Max Meyer from Schalke (yes, again) .

Apperently he would be available for €15mio which are peanuts these days for a talented young player with a decent amount of first team experience.

Any thoughts/ news? I know tottenham is interested aswell but we should have the advantage with Klopp and a few german players.

My issues with this is, we have plenty of young talent who we should be giving chances to before forking out money for young players like Max Meyer, no matter the amount.

Has not looked ready for EPL from what have seen of the current U-21's tourney and not seen enough of Bundesliga to really judge him too much. I also very highly doubt that he will be available for that amount to an EPL team.

Salah signing has ended any possibility of him joining I would think and from what I have seen of him would rather give our own youth a chance.

Meerkat: Meyer is a Central midfielder though so i won't see a problem with signing Meyern and Salah.

I haven't watched the U21 but i do watch the Bundesliga (rarely miss a match day) and he looks promising for a U21. Decent ball controll, not one of the quickest players there is but still has a fair amount of pace to him and he wants to develop.

I think he won't be a bad choice for squad depth but on the other hand we can't just add 50 Midfielders. The media likes to link us with every player there is on the market and evenmore with every decent young german player because of Klopp. I hope that our transfer business will be solved as quick as possible so that the squad can start preseason as complete as possible.

No better than our current young crop from what i've seen of him in the U21s.

I agree, Crammie regarding every German player being linked to us bcos of Klopp. As for Meyer, I am not that keen on him as he is an attacking midfielder who will not dislodge any of our starters and will not agree to being a bench warmer so I call nonsense on these links esp. since he's been linked with us since Klopp took over.

Afcom will come around again and we will need width. Don't get a great deal of promising German players here ozil. Let's face it. they are winners. Klopp will win the league if given the time although I think this is our year. With a bit more depth I think we would have won this one just gone. We're sensational at the start. So what if you concede every week if we're scoring 3/ 4/ 5. Anything else we sign ie cb lb will be a bonus. Like to see more of T. A. A this year and maybe ojo and solanke. Max Meyer will be z smart move. I been waiting for klopp to slowly bring the low lands over to liverpool. Could set a precedent.

Ojo, Wilson, Woodburn just get rid of those talents then Jonny?

No of course not Bobby. Although Meyer has already got experience at the highest level. More a first team player than another promising talent. He's already delivering the goods. Woodburn will get through, needs to bulk up is all and ojo and t. a. a will I believe. None of those are wingers either. In 3 yrs he'll be £35 mil player at least.

Also if you get a group of very good youngsters playing together week in week out reserves, under 23s. It can only be a good thing. Some other team did alright with their kids. Poor now though.

BobbyJ do you not know, everyone else's young players are better than ours. Why play your own young player when you can spend £15mil and buy one! Madness or "far away feilds. "

But your putting another player in their way blocking the way to the first team.

Doesn't make sense to me and what i've seen of Meyer he is by no means 1st team ready for Lpool.

If we sign vvd and Meyer the team is starting to look quite Dutch or deutsch land. Nothing wrong with that. I like ox coz he's another England player.

Jonny: England players are more expensive though because they are english. If you look back at the euros or even the world cup most England players came from Liverpool (i think at the worldcup we had 9 players in the England squad) .

Also if we get vvd, meyer and keita we have a Afcon/ Dutch/ German side. :D.

Crammed you would have to admit that £25 mil is a good deal. For an English player. Not like we're paying over the odds for him coz he's English. I think Meyer would make it in the first team. Like I said I'm sure Woodburn ojo and tta will get through, buying Meyer does not halt the progress of any of those three. He's a winger. Tta wing back and two strikers. I know it's controversial to praise the gerries but I for one wouldn't mind a few more at Liverpool. Can is class, hanman was different class and he's big reason we won European cup. There good at football.

Tbh I have never seen Meyer play live. But I don't know how anyone can say he not as ready as Ojo for our first team when he has played regularly in budesliga and in European competions.

Also he is currently playing for Germany's u21s and has player for the senior side where ojo was with our u18s.

Jonny: i don't think we will buy Meyer just to put that out there. Ox would be a great signing and i would prefer him over meyer any time of the day.

But Meyer is a CM/ CAM not a winger to clear things up. He had to play some games as a winger because a) Schalke have Goretzka, Bentaleb and Geis as their main CMs and b) Schalke has a problem on the wings with Konoplyanka who played like sh*t, Embolo beeing injured, Chupo beeing inconsistend and Caliguri not having a great time either.

Jackored - Simple really he's playing in a lesser league as a whole and in a worse team one that finished 10th last year so that's how he gets in.

Ojo for the record is a winger so Meyer would be in direct competition.

Like the above everyone is too quick to glamorise the foreign import and justify it somehow via price-tags its just wrong. Give the current acadamy graduates a chance or why bother having one and paying for one to run?
