Di Marzio wrote:Napoli is ready to make a significant addition during the January transfer window. The partenopei want to close the deal for Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Kramer next week. Napoli aready has an agreement with the player who wants to take next step in his career in Italy, their sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli wants to schedule a meeting to close the deal for around €15 million sometime next week. Should Napoli not be able to close the negotiation in Janury they will postpone it to next summer.

Were they supposed to buy a world class centreback in January before Klopp even knows who fits properly into his team and who doesn't? or who will be healthy?

What are you judging Caulker's ability from anyway?

I refuse to believe Liverpool can't snag someone better on a loan deal. Or throw in some youngsters or something, they can't be much worse.

Caulker played for Spurs, I watched probably 15+ games of him not including his games for QPR. So I feel as if I can have a say, and I don't think a person here would disagree with my assessment of him, Art aside, and he doesn't really count.

kicker (my translation) wrote:The rumour refuses to go away. It swirls from Italy across the Brenner to Leverkusen time and time again: Napoli wants Christoph Kramer, rather today than tomorrow.
Recently the supposedly serious journalist Ginaluca [sic] di Marzio claimed that the player had agreed terms with the Southern Italians.
The man from Sky Italia - regarded as the transfer pope on the 'boot' - now announced that Cristiano Giuntoli, Napoli's DoF, will travel to Leverkusen next week to pry the German International away from Bayer. [..]
If the official indeed has planned this business trip, it would be advisable to cancel it.
Because his plan is challenged by two quite substantial statements:
"We won't sell the player", says Bayer's transfer executive Jonas Boldt.
And Kramer's agent Gerd von Bruch tells kicker: "There never were any talks. We know since Rafa Benitez's time that Napoli is interested in Christoph. But: Christoph does not want to go to Napoli"

RedOranje wrote:Caulker's signing wasn't an emergency loan deal with an eye on the rest of the season, it was an emergency loan deal with an eye on the Arsenal match.  Our crisis was (and still is, to a degree) so bad that we could quite possibly have had a single (1 [ONE]) fit central defender at the club for that match (INCLUDING potential U21s anywhere near the first team) for the Arsenal match.  Caulker was brought in with that in mind (and, yes, the rest of the season as a secondary concern).  The move materialized in less than 24 hours.  With the club clearly pursuing a higher calibre of player in the summer, it was a move out of necessity as a stop-gap, built upon expediency.
