Napoli’s holding midfielder Jorginho would be the Merseyside club’s first choice, the problem being that the Brazilian-born Italian international would be the same for just about every elite side in Europe. (@_pauljoyce)
Klopp wants a goalkeeper, a number 6 and a replacement for Philippe Coutinho this summer. Alisson and Jorginho top of the wish-lists for the first two, as per @_pauljoyce
Jorginho is a quality playmaker from deep. Questions over him defensively but if you put a more physical midfielder to cover, then next seasons midfield looks more interesting.
Napoli have been having a great season, but don't watch Serie A. Whats he like? Comparable to anyone?
Pirlo - deep lying playmaker. Classy on the ball. But not great defensively IMO. Perfect player to have start against teams who sit deep.
You would restrict his full attacking ability if you ask him to focus on doing all the dog work for Jorginho. Jorginho is class on the ball but I would much prefer someone like Diawara or even Zienlinski.
If we could afford it, (can we?) I'd like M-Savic. He's going to be the best CM in the world in a couple of years time. But alas I fear he'll be out of our (and most clubs) price range.
Of course you can, last summer you had enough for Keita and VvD so bought them. Now you should have January's budget (if any), this summers budget plus the Coutinho money. Around £250m I would have thought.
bollocks we have £250m to spend in the summer unless we are going all out and taking out , probably very big,loans.
