Yeah I’m with you on this. Big fan of his. He starts for Arsenal though so not sure he’d want to go back to being a rotation option as there’s no way he’s going to start ahead of Mane or Robbo when everyone is fit.

He is young enough though, he can play right down the left and would get plenty of games. Is he not out of contract next year?

Yes, end of 2021. He’s a jet, and was always one of their best players every time I caught their match. Madness they spent big money on Tierney last summer.

I laugh when they talk about Tierney in terms of Robertson, he could be like him.

He needs to stay fit and do it, talk is cheap.

Sarr would be good if he has a relegation clause but he has to get better technically. He's very impressive physically and has great potential because of that but he's a bit awkward and unclean on the ball. 

He's come a long way over the season though, which bodes well in terms of work ethic. Genuinely thought he'd never played football before at the start of the season. 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Just watching Thommo on SSN and he's 100% correct; stand still and go backwards, strengthen while you're on top.

 

Werner would have been ideal but that's history already. We should be looking to bring in 3 players; a proper left back to back up Robbo, a creative midfielder who can unlock defences and chip in with goals, and a wide forqard with real pace.

 

Can't see it happening but that would be a perfect summer window imo.

[joe_fishfish]

Don't think we'll get a midfielder, we've got loads of options in there even with Lallana leaving.

 

Saka's the one for me, good backup for Robbo and a wide forward with real pace in one package.

[El Dangerous]

Saka is interesting but he’d have to be more than that to get a game in our forward line. If he’s a full back option then he’d need more game’s than we’d be offering to develop. Good player though and Klopp is the perfect manager for him.

[Lee909]

I like Saka, reckon he's using our Interest to push the Arsenal offer up though.

He’s been playing CM too!!

Yeah according to Twitter he’s real close go signing a new contract with them.

[Harry Squatter]

City allegedly after Koulibaly but will cost them £72m. Hell of a lot of money for a 29 year old, especially one who has never played in England. Good player but he's not the long term replacement for Kompany.

He's got another 3 or 4 years in him and City won't give a fuck about the cost. 

[Lee909]

Inter getting Hakimi for 36ml. 

That's some business.

Arjen Robben is going to play for Groningen next year for the first time since he was 18.

Is he still any good?

No idea. Groningen aren't very good though. Depends how fit he can get himself I suppose. 

[m0e]

We want a player to come in to cover for the both Salah or Mane for 2 years.

 

Ideally, he'd be a proven international who's had experience at top clubs.

 

That was meant to be Shaqiri.

 

But there's no point having cover from someone who is never fit.

 

Never fit cover is about as useful as a flat spare tire.

 

That's the best description I can think of about Shaqiri.

 

A flat spare tire.

 

I am also sick of seeing the experiment of Oxlade and Origi out wide, and am pretty sure I'll be adding Minamino to that list too.

 

There are plenty of players who would add more value out wide. The concern would be how their arrival impacts on the overall culture and harmony.

 

Oxlade can play 2 positions in the middle 3 well, and both wide positions to a certain level. Origi can cover for the front 3. Neither player causes any problems for Klopp, and both are well liked by their teammates.

 

We have Elliot and Curtis Jones to bring in too.

 

My feeling is that unless Klopp believes a signing will maintain the overall quality of the first team when starting, he won't be spending big.

 

My feeling is that he didn't believe that to be the case with Werner.

[Harry Squatter]

Leverkusen didn't qualify for the CL and they were prepared to lower their valuation from £90m to around £70m after missing out.

 

Hope he doesn't go to Chelsea.

Hasn't it been done to death why we didn't sign Werner?

[RoyHodgeGone]

First of all I want to see Ben White. I know he's only playing in the championship but he looks THAT good. Some sort of cover at left back. Given the strength of our midfield I wouldn't mind someone who is better going forward than defending. Preferably someone versatile who is young or a mature player on a free. As for a marquee signing either a creative midfielder or another attacking option. 

 

If well sell Origi, Wilson, Grujic and a few others it seems feasible.

That the reason we didn't sign Werner, isn't the reason you think.
