The ‘Buy Nabil Fekir’ Campaign

[Jose Jones]

We’ve got the best collection of right backs in the league. You people are weird.

[TheHowieLama]

I could name 10 collections better

Go.

[VladimirIlyich]

Nabby Smiles,if he gets his move to us.

[razor]

Right back is one of our weakest areas?

 

Aye, alright.  Keeps me awake at night does our weakest area right back.

 

I also want a new main stand.  Probably one of our weakest areas of the ground.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Yeah, this is something I disagreed with Paul about s few months back. TAA, Clyne, Gomez, and now Fabinho. I've got no issue at RB.

[Barnesey]

I came on this thread to learn how close we are to signing Fekir.....

[an tha]

Right back is an area we are OK in in my book.

 

I wish we could mould TAA's attacking qualities with Clyne's defensive ones mind - because if we could what a right back we'd have.

 

Clyne is a boss defender but is awful in terms of attacking - makes bad decisions, final ball is poor/wrong too often....but he is sound defensively.

 

TAA is boss going forward - but still naive at times defensively. All that said he is young learning all the time.

Fekir and Alison in. Ings, Mingolet, Sturridge, Origi, Moreno, and one MF out.

We need a squad so I think that is too many outgoings in one go.

[aRdja]

I’d rather not spend more cash on fullbacks as though they’re important... they are rather boring. Like goalkeepers, having amazing ones are great, but not really essential... City dominated the league with Fabian Delph as their leftback.

If you don't include Moreno think thats fine. None of them got a look in last year anyway. The midfielder is covered by those coming in and Klopp will want a path for the kids too

[ZonkoVille77]

Ings, Origi and Sturridge weren't at the club last season more or less. So it's no different getting rid of them for good.

[Dr Nowt]

I reckon Bert will just be kept on for the last year of his contract and released on a free next July, so we have back-up for Robbo when he’s unavailable without compromising squad depth elsewhere.

 

If we do sign Alisson and Fekir that will be our lot for this summer and the likes of depth at fullback, potentially upgrading Matip and Klavan and looking at a striker will be booted onto next summer.

 

Not unreasonably, given the expenditure we’re attempting to make.

[El Rojo]

I do not come on her to be Fekired at.

[an tha]

Bert Moron is just kept around to hang around with Firmino isn't he!

City dominated the League with Delph as their LB because he had a £billion worth of players ahead of him and 99”% of opposing teams didn’t bother attacking them. They could have played Moreno there and it wouldn’t have made a difference.

Okay, Chelsea walked the league with Moses as their wing-back... France won the World Cup with worse full backs than Spurs. All I’m saying is with Goalkeepers and full backs, you don’t need the creme de la creme for you to win trophies.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Disagree.

[Greycellgreen]

But we probably would of won a trophy if we had a competent goalkeeper.

[aRdja]

But we probably would of won a trophy if we had a competent goalkeeper.

Agreed. Exactly my point. We didn’t need De Gea against Real, if we had Pope we would’ve conceded two of the goals.

[VladimirIlyich]

I'd rather keep Origi than the other two.

Klopp: “A lot will come once the other boys are back. We will be fine at the end. At the moment I am happy with the squad. Could something still happen? We will see."

 

Welcome Nabil.

Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has made the sensational claim that the Reds are back in for Lyon star Nabil Fekir.

 

The Reds had been set to unveil Fekir as a summer signing ahead of the World Cup but the £53million deal collapsed at the last minute in strange circumstances with a row emerging over his fee and a long-standing knee injury.

 

But last week it was suggested, however, that Fekir remains determined to join Liverpool this summer and his stance will force Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas – known for his tough negotiating skills – to discuss a restructured deal.

 

The Liverpool Echo did suggest that the £66m deal to bring Roma goalkeeper Alisson to Anfield would end Liverpool’s summer business, but Souness has hinted otherwise.

 

Souness told beIN SPORTS: “[Georginio] Wijnaldum, [James] Milner, Jordan Henderson, [Emre] Can to a lesser extent, [Alex] Oxlade-Chamberlain was a different type, but certainly those four, all workaholics, no real great, cute passers of the ball but very solid citizens.

 

“I think it is very interesting that he’s [Klopp] bought two [Fabinho and Naby Keita], and I hear today he is back in for Fekir.

 

“So that tells you he’s not happy with his midfield.

 

“But if you were looking at Liverpool last year, you don’t have to have too much creativity from your three midfield players when you’ve got those three front players.

 

“The big danger is you go for more creative players in midfield but do they give you the same level of pressing, intensity the current players offered.

 

“That’s one for the manager to call, very interesting though.”
