As much as I love little Pipco, i really hope the club just accepts the inevitable bid from Barcelona and let him go.
The only issue then, is how do we replace him or improve the squad when everyone knows we have £100m+ to spend. We'll be quoted overinflated prices.

I'd still go for Ox, however the CB role is a major concern.

Why go for Ox? He isn't a centre midfielder and isn't a replacement for Pipco? I haven't seen anything that makes me think he isn't any more than a very bog standard winger.

Ox and VVD I'm hoping for. Then if we signed someone like Seri, Keita or Lanzini on top of that it would be sufficient. Keita would be my first choice but if RBL are defiant that they aren't selling then Seri or Lanzini would be good back up options imo.

Ox can play in any of the offensive positions in midfield. He's versatile and has a great engine suited to Klopps style of play.
Pipco was likely to play the AM with two behind or left side of a 3 with a holding midfielder. Ox can definitely play both positions.

Not saying he's as good, but who is that's reachable for LFC?

Spas, Ox is patently poor and would be the worst "replacement" for Cou, ever. We need creativity in midfield and if we think we can rely on Bobbie and Lallana to do that then we will struggle, mightily.

We need a matic type player. As well as a coutinho replacement.

Bingo, we can't attract players of Coutinho's quality to directly replace him therefore we need to bring in different players to help improve the squad and minimise the affect of Pipco leaving.
We 'replaced' Suarez with rubbish. This time we need proven PL experience.

This is why we won't win anything. Sell coutinho and buy ox are you joking?
Whatever money we get for Couts should be ALL used on a player equally as good.
Didn't selling Suarez and buying 5 average players not teach you anything, we went from League contenders to 6th and have barely recovered since.
We need top players not more average ones.
