don't ask, don't get? the way I see this squad is gk 1 worldie, 1 option and 2 good kids rb 1 Trent, one **** senior option, 1 kid lb. 2 options rcb. konate but rest are gone lcb. vvd but fading. no cover. no 6. fabinho fading, 1 kid lcm. thiago fading, rest are goners rcm. Henderson fading fast. one kid. lw. Diaz, gakpo, carvalho cf firmino Nunez rw salah jota. 2 kids. Gordon and doak that midfield is an eyesore. Keita, ox, Milner are all toast. Jones has constant injuries. we need 6 seniors imo but with 3 fading it's a big issue
I think problem is numbers as well. Job for Mito but do we have enough space for more foreign players after gakpo? Also just wonder if with midfield we’re waiting till summer where we will have more squad places. Said after summer window, we’re so overcrowded in midfield that was prob the reason we didn’t sign anyone, despite fact we needed more quality. Hendo fab thiago elliott keita milner Ox Arthur Bajcetic Plus Jones, Carvahlo who have also played in midfield. That’s essentially 9-11 players for 3 positions. Squad morale is just as important and we’ve said how over last few years those fringe players have never kicked up a fuss about game time while we’ve been winning trophies and that def helps. Suddenly sign 2 more CMs and become massively overcrowded and have to drop players from the CL squad as well. Might be wrong but think just waiting till summer, Milner ox Keita will move on and free up about 400k a week and 3 squad places.
hmmm numbers. foreign 17 1. alisson 2. adrian 3. konate 4. matip 5. vvd 6. robertson 7. tsimikas 8. fabinho 9. Keita 10. thaigo 11. nunez 12. jota 13. Diaz 14. firmino 15. salah 16. gakpo 17......... ARTHUR home grown 8 1. Kelleher 2. trent 3. gomez 4. Phillips 5. Milner 6. Henderson 7. oxlade 8. Jones (I think he's hit threshold?) u21s carvalho elliott ramsay so the simple answer is Arthur to be returned to nice to make room for Fernandez and Bellingham can be an u21. we can't be letting Phillips go if we've no cbs.
on squad morale. simple solutions artur to juve. he won't be fit. put Keita in as makeweight for Bellingham Milner and ox can go **** off. I'm sure Jimmy would agree. they can fill in as subs here and there til the summer as thry are reliable older players... or can play rb.
I know Elliott is young but i think he is past the age when their will be a sudden growth spurt. I will be amazed if more than 1 ready to start CM is signed this window
Prepare to be amazed. Seriously, I have no idea - but a lot of signings have come out of the blue in recent years so I wouldn't be amazed at whatever happens. What would amaze me is if Klopp and co were blissfully unaware of the situation in midfield and weren't attempting to resolve it.
