Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp must add proven quality stars in the squad this summer. Moreover, the German boss is also interested in signing young starlets for a bright future.
The Reds have already signed a young Serbian midfielder in the form of Marko Grujic last winter. Lately, reports have suggested that Liverpool have agreed a deal in principle to sign Belgian teenager Samuel Bastien.
Now, according to reports (ESPN), Liverpool are in a competition with the likes of Manchester United, Ajax and Borussia Dortmund to sign highly rated Turkish youngster Emre Mor and at the moment, the Reds are winning the race to lure the 18-year-old starlet.
The teenage boy is a versatile attacker who can effectively play as a center forward and also as a right winger.
Last season, he scored 2 goals and provided 2 assists in 13 games for Nordsjaelland and his impressive performances have earned him a place in the Turkish national side for the European Championships.
In your opinion, should Liverpool sign Emre Mor?

According to the various websites we are after kids from France, Turkey and Belgium . . . and I might have missed a couple as I got fed-up counting them all. It’s getting boring saying it now but when the rest of the top clubs are about to spend big, spend HUGE, we get a £4.7m goalie, a free transfer CB and young Grujic for a few million before embarking on a crusade to rid the rest of Europe of any and all players about to enter puberty!
I didn’t think our transfer activity could go downhill after the events of the last few years but is Mr Klopp taking us to depths even we haven’t experienced before?
God, I hate being so negative about my beloved Reds but this is seriously tawdry stuff and, for the life of me, I can’t see us catching the likes of City, United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs if we are going to either buy from the footballing equivalent of the Pound Shop or kids in the hope they don’t get detention on match-days.
If we are busy buying kids why did we let Liverpool-mad Dele Alli get fed-up waiting for us to bid for him before finally plumping for Spurs? Same with Ericksen, wasn’t it? Seemingly destined for LFC, we messed about in the vain hope Ajax would take two million quid less than they wanted and in came Spurs to snap him up. We dallied, they didn’t! We don’t exactly strike like a cobra . . . more like an industrial skip rolling uphill!
Are we ever going to sign a TOP player, a player who can make a difference this coming season? I’m beginning to think we are now becoming a club too obsessed with signing very young talent on the off-chance the players concerned my just be another Rahim Sterling and can then be sold for a good profit. That is NOT the future I want for my club.
Will the other big clubs be messing around in the bargain basement and kindergarten? No, they’ll be getting the top talent from the Euros and, somehow we’ve got to catch and then overtake them with THIS transfer policy.
Unless things change that ain’t gonna happen . . .
Benteke, Firmino, Markovic, Lallana, Lovren…..(£120million?) all out of the football ‘poundshop’ that lot eh? I hope to god we NEVER end up with a manager or owners who would lead us down the Man City, or Utd route an just throw crazy money around. There’s a better way, an honourable way and Klopp is the very best person to take us via this route to success. Stop complaining…an enjoy the ride! Bumpy though it may be!
Yes totally agree with all said!!
I am forever having a quick look on NewsNow to see if we can actually sign a player out of nappies but no it’s always someone for the future! The future is this coming season and there’s no point signing the next best 12 year old as it does nothing as by time they reach 16 they’ve matured and developed and now have been bread to think getting in the top 6 is the Liverpool way!!!
Let’s be honest Lfc do not breed winners anymore and don’t like saying it but the Mancs still expect to win the league no matter how deluded this sounds but we don’t, in fact I don’t think I have ever heard an Lfc player saying anything like we are looking to win the league this year .
Lfc are breeding the same mentality year in year out but it’s not a winning mentality.
Give klopp a chance,judge him at the end of the season, i am sure we will sign a couple of top class player’s, let’s unite together and bring the good times back,we are liverpool YNWA
Guess you clearly don’t get Klopp’s philosophy why buy a star when he makes them , buying big names doesn’t always guarantee success look at utd how much they spent.
Former season ticket holder for seven years, been to minimum of 600 games at Anfield, first saw the team in 1963 and watched every good player we’ve had since then many times. Can even name the team from first game I saw! If that’s an armchair fan then, yes, I’m currently an armchair fan! For my sins I live in Manchester so apart from the stick I get I also have a round-trip of 60 miles for every game.
Ask most fans what they want and they’ll say a few good prospects coming through, yes, but a team that will challenge the big boys next year.
If we don’t strive for that now we just become used to being second-rate and that must NOT be acceptable for LFC. Are we to be just a feeder club? We’ll lose every other good player we’ve got if finishing eighth is our expectation for the next few years. Will most fans settle for not winning the title for 3 or 4 more years whilst kids mature? I doubt it.
Don’t forget, we are going to be competing for new signings with our main rivals who will each be spending £150m on the best players at Euro 16 and as we are already starting from well below the other teams, judging by the league table, that ain’t gonna be easy.
Sure Klopp will do a good job but, so far, his signings haven’t had the wow factor, YET, other than a new keeper which was vital. Let’s see what happens . . . but when Gotze and Zeilinski seemingly aren’t joining us because it “would be a downwards step” or because we are taking too long to get a deal done it SHOULD be a cause for concern. We’ve dawdled too many times on transfers, losing some very good players by doing it.
We need to see a couple of big deals done before the best players are snapped-up by the other clubs . . . or we may end up getting the proverbial Balotelli again when nobody worth buying is left in the shop window!
Oh, yes, YNWA!!!!!!
Spot on too many fans have been brainwashed into thinking you buy a good kid put him in the reserves and in 2 to 4 years time you have a world beater well we have been doing this now for 15 years and i cant remember one single player who has developed through like they should have not one the transfer policy is set by the owners of this club and not the manager so Klopp will go the same way as Dalglish Raffa Rodgers all decent managers but not miracle workers you have to give the manager the tools to work with i have been underwhelmed by are signings even before seeing them play as i cant see any marked improvement on the players they are replacing ? this team needs Three Major top draw signings to get to the top 4 and this is the season to bring them in with no European Football I think too many of our fans are willing to accept mediocrity
This is incurable disease of LFC of buying starlets players and in proven players. This system makes me believe that LFC is a club of raising starlet and there is no need of lifting EPL at all. Thus is correct to term the LFC signing committee a proven and most failure committee in the world. And if possible let you continue to learn and conducting the field of signing top class players may be in 2045 you will graduate and start taking actions thereto.
