Now too much at stake so dun tink the club will do this unless it has won enough (another 10 epl + 10 ucl) wif £1b in reserves... Look at mu arsenal having difficulty to return to winning rhythm.. sign wrong manyzer and chiu end up in midtable

Liverpool sign Greece defender Kostas Tsimikas from Olympiakos

 

Liverpool have made their first signing of the transfer window by bringing in Greece defender Konstantinos Tsimikas from Olympiakos on a long-term deal, the Premier League champions announced on Monday.

 

Financial details were not given but British media said Liverpool paid £11 million ($14.38 million) for Tsimikas, who has played three times for Greece since making his debut in October 2018.

 

The 24-year-old left back made 46 appearances for Olympiakos in all competitions last season as they won their 45th Greek Super League title.

 

Liverpool won Europe's elite club competition in 2019 but were knocked out by Atletico Madrid in the last 16 this term.

 

Tsimikas, who has had loan spells at Danish side Esjberg and Dutch outfit Willem II, has Champions League experience and is expected to provide cover for left back Andy Robertson.

 

"We've watched Kostas for a long time and are really happy that he's joined us. It's the perfect news before we come back together very soon," Klopp said.

 

"He's a very good footballer with an attitude to win and to compete, and I really like his mentality. It fits perfectly with the mood and the desire we have in our dressing room."

I hope Thiago will be next for Liverpool, with Wijnaldum being a bitch about signing a new contract

i feel nowadays those online people use the word "legends" too loosely. any ex players they will call "legends" already...

 

i remember reading somewhere people calling louis saha as "man utd legend".

yes, he scored a few goals for man utd. but, i can't agree he is a legend.

 

the above ex-player managers played well in their times. but legend might be too much for them.

 

If Zidane is a legend, he should be a juve one. He went RM to play a few good  years later. Pirlo was better for Milan.

 

Zidane, Solksjaer, Arteta, Lampard and Lampard were surrounded by good teams. Don't think they can hard carry the team consistently over a period.

Which is why im surprised at his attitude. Easily replacable with a more creative midfielder who can assist as well

Zidane and Lampard have done enough to be legends. Solskjaer rarely started games and Arteta did more for Everton than Arsenal. 
agree with @meng.huat that former players are not legends, need to earn that right

To me, no. 
That era of players only Gerrard can be called a legend, Xabi Alonso and Hyypia are honorable mentions.

I honestly feel Carra only had 1 good season at Liverpool. The rest he just spent shouting at players. 
Trent AA has already surpassed Carra imo. Trent will be remembered a genuine legend in 20 years.
