Alex Teixeira

[Lecter]

Klopp says "the situation changed". So either it changed and that's why we made our move or it changed and that's why Ayre came home empty handed.

"I have nothing to say about this,” said Klopp. “We could talk about a lot of players in the world and I could, if we had time for this, talk about the qualities they have.”

"The whole situation changed obviously. I think I always said if our situation changed then we had to change our opinion.

"The January window is not the best and if you are under pressure then everyone wants prices where you think 'Are they crazy?'

"If you take a new player now we have two days to the next game, four days to the next so it is not a perfect moment.

"We have to watch the market, to think about what makes sense for us now plus for the summer.

"If we find a solution which fits for both transfer windows, winter and summer, and a player could help us as quickly as possible then of course we would try.

"I have always said we will watch the market and we will see if something happens, there are a few days to go.

"Nothing has changed in my mind or opinion. It is a little bit different with Steven Caulker.

"If there is a good player and we see a longer option with time to work together and not only for three games and all the others come back then we would think about it.

"If it was possible we would try to do something what we would want to do in summer.

"With player prices I think we should ignore this but we think about it, that's all. It (thinking) didn't change."

QFT, didn't you understand that?!

Seems pretty clear to me, we decided to try for him but they know we are desperate and they want crazy money so we've walked away.

I think those words can be spun any number of ways to be honest.

The more negative will have one view the more positive another.

Those who like the full facts will stay sitting central

I dont think he said all that in relation to just the Teixeira question

The first line is obviously a reply regarding that

The rest of it appear to be a general reply about the January transfer window

I read it as though they hadnt planned to do anything in January but the situation has changed as they are exploring the market

That doesnt mean we are close to tying up Teixeira by any means, in fact I read it as though he was being non-committal about Teixeira

Ayre went all the way over to see them and came back without a deal. I see little to be optimistic about but to be honest I don't give a **** if he signs or not cos I know **** all about him

I find it odd that Ayre went all that way without any kind of encouragement in the first place

Do we categorically know that Ayre has returned?

Next season's Sky jackpot means every Premier League club will be rich so prices can be jacked up accordingly.

Been spying on Tony Barrett on the rattle as I tend to do

He doesn't know what's happening but he's intimated that Klopp is the driving force behind the interest rather than the player being one the TC showed him and asked him if he's arsed. Or words to that affect.
