Liverpool are keen to improve their squad in January and are interested in signing France midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, 24, from Real Madrid.

 

Yeah I've seen that but it's closing in on silly season for January transfers

Kerkez and a good midfielder would really give us a great chance of getting over the line this season.

 

The tight cunts that own probably don't agree/won't pay.

This feels eerily similar to when Klopp took over, and the midfield was getting run through. Lots of talk about not wanting a proper tackling DM, not how he operates, needing passers, spread the responsibility etc.

 

Then we got Fabinho, and immediately saw what we'd been missing. Dunno if Tchouameni is the answer, but as long as the midfielder brought in isn't Ugarte levels of rugby style yard dog I reckon we'd be able to utilise them.

Kerkez might be a good long term target, but what would he do for us this season? We have two left backs already and he's like 20 years old.

I've said this before, there is nothing wrong with Tchouameni on the ball. Real Madrid did not pay 85m or whatever it was for a donkey. The problem is that they've lost Kroos and there is no one like him.

 

The reason we shouldn't do it though, is the financial package. The fee and wage combo is too high.

What do you do with Robertson, who is a high earner, and Tsimikas who the manager likes and who is performing decently? Left back is for the future, not mid-season.

Kerkez might be gone by summer.

 

If he's in our long-term plans, sign him up. 3 left-backs for half a season isn't the end of the world.

Unless you're trying to force someone out, it basically is the end of the world. None of those 3 can play other positions. You're basically putting one of them in the reserves every game and that just won't happen. Unless you signed Kerkez and loaned him back.

I think the midfield definitely needs work. Other than Gravenberch, they've all looked incredibly inconsistent under Slot.

 

If we can get a top midfielder in January, it could make a huge, huge difference to how this season ends up IMO.
