    So with VVD now at the club and Keita coming in.... who else would you like and in that case what would be your favoured starting 11.

    I'm assuming Coutinho is going in the summer.

    Just a bit of fun... here's mine

    ----------------------Mignolet---------------
    TAA---------Gomez-----VVD------Emerson
    ---------------Keita----------Goretzka------------
    ------------------------Lemar---------------------
    Salah--------------Firmino------------Mane

    Midfield 3 could change positions and GK needs upgrading.

    I'd like to see TAA and Gomez as starters and I'm hoping we go in for Emerson. I believe we did in the summer but he was injured?

    Anyway that's probably way off what we'll be but I can dream!

    What do you reckon?

    Happy New Year Everyone <diva>

    ----------------------Horn---------------
    TAA---------Gomez-----VVD------Emerson
    ---------------Keita----------Goretzka------------
    ------------------ ----Messi---------------------
    Salah--------------Suarez------------Mane

    Though I suspect Messi may struggle to get into our team atm <whistle>

    Can't take this seriously when you're too ignorant to even include the great man himself; Flanno!

    Lots of talented freebees this summer! I'd be picking Goretzka, Meyer and De Vrij for certain. As a wildcard, experienced midfielder for rotation, what about Moutinho as well? I'd also be looking to nab Moura from PSG although I'd cream myself if we persuaded Coutinho to stay instead with a strong CL performance and maybe up to second in the PL. Two actual signings, a goalkeeper and a forward playmaker and a bunch of freebees.

    Flog Mignolet, Lovren, Flanagan (sadly he's gone backwards through injuries) Henderson, Sturridge, Markovic (is Bogdan still here? He can go!) and Origi for anything we can get. 8 out.
    Goretzka, Meyer, De Vrij, Moutinho, Moura and Horn in. 5 in.

    Horn
    Clyne---------De Vrij-----VVD------Robertson
    Keita-----------Goretzka
    Coutinho
    Salah--------------Firmino------------Mane
    Gives you a squad of Karius, Ward (he might look to move on), Matip, Klavan, Gomez, Moreno, TAA, Lallana, Wijnaldum, Grujic, Milner, Moutinho, Meyer, Moura, Chamberlain, Solanke and Ings.
    Also Woodburn, Kent, Wilson, Ojo and Ejaria from the kids.

    Just give me a job now, boys. I'll get us there.

    butlands agent seems to want to get him noticed.

    his move to stoke to learn the game has gone on about 2 years too long.

    not sure we are interested.

    Butland isn't all that.

    Can't believe people don't rate Matip.

    I'd keep Gomez at RB for another year and play Matip VVD good contrast between them, could be a great partnership.

    Two years ago, he was the dogs bollocks. After the injuries he's had alongside the decline of Stoke, he needs to move to reignite his career

    I do rate him but just think Gomez is our man going forward. You're probably right though to keep Matip in for another season while Gomez gains experience.

    VVDs face yesterday when Matip ****ed up was funny. He was like 'wtf is that dick doing?'

    Matip can be the experienced backup, we should be getting De Vrij on a free to start next to Van Dijk and then say bye to Lovren forever

    Funny but no, Matip is a very good defender.

    Butland is ****e imo. We missed a trick when Everton got Pickford. He'll be top drawer within a couple of years.

    I think Matip is overrated by Liverpool fans because our alternatives are Lovren and Klavan. Previously, it was Toure and Skrtel. Not exactly hard to look good when compared to those.

    I think Matip is a good player to have in the squad but do think it's a position that can be improved. He's not the fastest so you'd expect him to dominate other areas but he just doesn't. Considering his height, he's terrible in the air.
