Lallana should return to the club we got him from, they will welcome him with open arms

 

Injuries have been of no help to him.

 

Hopefully he doesn't want to play in the Championship

 

Who’s available on a loan deal for CB cover? There has to be a decent CB available for a short period. This position is my biggest concern right now, closely followed by LB and then RB.

 

Harry Wilson's return to Liverpool confirmed by Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe
The Wales international will return to Liverpool's Melwood training base following a "strange" injury which kept him out of the weekend win over Chelsea

'Strange' as in 'non-existent'?

 

Caulker?

 

Takumi Minamino's final game for Red Bull Salzburg looks to have been against his soon-to-be employers Liverpool after he was left out of his side's matchday squad on Saturday.

The Japanese international attacking midfielder, who will turn 25 next month, was absent from coach Jesse Marsch's side for Saturday's 2-2 draw at Hartberg.

 

Forward is not a priority

 

This seems to be going smoothly. Wouldn’t surprise me if we give them one or two of our kids on loan next season.

 

Looking at last nights game, Hoever is nearly ready and should be TAA’s back up next season. Means we only need a LB as a priority but one that can quickly offer 90% of what Robbo does....

Elliott at 16 is a talent. Next year is huge for the boy......he could play a lot of the cup competitions next season.

After this we have Jones and Brewster who are flirting with the first team.....so we will need new signings for the first team squad.

Minamino appears to be one of them.

Sancho seems to be on fire. Will be a great signing for someone if he does move on. Imagine the meltdown by Pep and the internet if we signed him.....if we want to challenge for every trophy as City have the last couple of years, this is the type of signing we need - real rotation.

Midfield is tough. It’s been decent this year so I wouldn’t touch it unless a potential that could be KdB became available.

CB signing would depend if Lovren leaves or if Gomez gets fed up being 4th choice. We’ve been short here around this time of year for two years so perhaps 4 isn’t enough given the games we have but how would you keep them happy? So no change here for me unless we sell but perhaps a loan signing for cover over the next few months.

So basically For next season:

Sign Minamino
Hoever challenges (can also play CB)
Ease Elliott into the first team squad
Sign a decent LB
Sign Sancho

Surely we can get this done this January?

 

So someone that would walk into every other team in the world but be a backup away ours?

 

Pretty much. We’ve made our own problem here. I don see an easy solution tbh. I thought Sessegnon from Fulham was a good shout. Has big potential and could step in. That type of signing.

 

BREAKING: Takumi Minamino is set for a medical today, as he moves a step closer to completing his move from Red Salzburg. He should officially become a Liverpool player on January 1. [Dominic King] #LFC

 

Minamino medical today ahead of January move (HP: SSN)

I guess I’d better start calling him Minaminho

 

The Arteta thin is fun as Pep said to start with he wouldn't be allowed to leave and now he's backtracking as he cannot stop him. Seems to be losing his **** a lot lately.

 

And you've completely neglected that Arsenal are appointing a novice manager...

 

A Sessengon type (more than one position but don't combine CB and FB) is exactly how we need to address it
