I've got an idea Jurgen.

 

Belgium have quality players, none of which want to join us, like:

 

Vertonghen

Alderweireld

Courtois

De Bruyne

Tielemans

Dembele

Lukaku

Hazard

Mertens

Batshuayi

Carrasco

Kompany

Nainggolan

 

 

But why not 'risk' the outside chance that the Belgium U21's might have a couple of players who are decent, especially defenders, and put some bids in for them?

What? Are you suggesting he sign players based on the fact that their senior team currently has a good crop of players?

That's your idea?  Buy random players.

 

This is getting into momesque/code-esque territory.

Care to clarify what you actually meant? Because it reads like: "Belgium have a good first team, so why not risk buying their youngsters". Which, obviously, makes no sense.

You're trying too hard to find a pattern or a hypothesis that almost guarantees a successful transfer. There obviously isn't. But if you're telling me none of those Belgium u21's are gong to be world class then you're a very brave man.

Some lovely names in that squad.

We should go for one of Nordin Jackers, Dion Cools or Wout Faes.

What we need is a centre back that's brilliant in the air and a centre back that's fast and good at recovery tackles in a situation where the opponent hits us on the counter. 

 

Non of our central defenders are fast or particularly good in the air. Kurt Zouma is pretty fast and Van Dijk is a monster in the air. Them two would sort our problems out at the back. 

 

We also need a really strong goalkeeper. I don't know why we're looking at spending up to £90m on Lemar when we'd be much better off spending £50-£60m on Oblak.

If we were looking for a striker for any particular reason, Kevin Gameiro at Atletico is starting to get marginalized more and more, and with Diego Costa's arrival in January, he'll probably play even less.

 

He'd be brilliant for Klopp's style, albeit he's getting a bit old. He'd be a short-term option.
