i think following the insipid performance on Monday, we can all agree that whatever the end of season brings, we need investment in the summer.
I accept klopps reasoning for the no show in the January windows(no one worth having is available) and understand that last summer he wanted to purge and couldn't get all the players for the positions he wanted. HOWEVER. I am fully expecting, especially since the downturn in form, that this summer we bring in several established, strong performers for key positions and not youth or backup. people thatll challenge for first team
so the questions are ; which positions are key?
who fills them?
for me
gk - we need a dominant personality. established performer. mig can go and karius can be backup.
rb - happy with options here
lb - will Moreno ever develop? doubtful. new lb strong defensively. attacking secondary
cb - top drawer strong quick leader to partner matip. lovren Gomez backup. sakho is done(shame)
dm - mobile strong quick natural defensive ability please.
box to box mf - wij hendo can milner to occupy
am - lallana couts firmino another req with pace and trickery
cf - origi needs to improve, studge is gone im afraid, mane, ings(ever be fit?) we need more genuine pace and finishing ability to replace studge
suggestions on players
cb = we all know VVD wud be great. anyone else if we get outbid?
lb?
dm - William carvalho reminds me a bit of viera
am?
cf?
thoughts?
which positions and who to buy

Imagine the state of our defence when someone says we've missed Lovren

LB...Bertrand of saints, has everything for me.
CB...Van from Saints, again has everything we need.
There's £65m right there.

Wouldn't go Van Dyke - way too pricey. Bertrand is a good call though, even if it does mean raiding Saints yet again (4 summers in a row would it be?).
I'd like to see Sakho given another go, can't be much worse than what we've got?!

Klopp won't bring Sakho back in. If he doesn't go to Palace permanently then he'll probably go back to France. He won't be playing for us next year.

Van Dyke too pricey?
Is Lovren at £20m better value than Van Dyke at £40m?

Why are you using Lovren as an indication of value?

If we had to buy Lovren now we would have got a £35m quote from Southampton.

And there in lies the evidence we will continue to struggle..... doing the right thing and use Sakho to replace individuals as utterly incapable as Lucas or Moreno V the awkward immovable attitude of a German.

You are not a ;liverpool fan. You come here only when we lose. I had not seen you here until this year when the results were bad. You have a grudge against Klopp because he is a German. It will not suprise me if you are a racist UKIP guy who hates Germans Because of the world war 2.

What a complete drama queen you are.
And completely wrong.
And you need to invest in a new keyboard,
But other than that, appreciate the entertainment.
