Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours thread

At least they are good in winning the title..

 

We need a good summer of recruitment otherwise we will be rebuilding continually for the foreseeable future

 

We already have Keita coming in.
Get another midfielder, Keeper, Striker most likely too

 

we need

lb cos I'm not.impressed by Robertson going forward tbh. ... thus far hes been so so. good at the back mind. moreno is a flaming liability.

gk. very obvious to us all.

cb cos lovren is a mistake waiting to happen. Matip is after going out of my good books with his pathetic efforts to clear it.

No 6 cos none of them can stsy in position

wide.forward cos we have no reserve.

striker to compete with firmino... or move salah to no 9 and get two wide forwards.

 

I'll say it again, that Doucoure is quality.

 

Looks it

 

I think someone just needs to tell him he needs to take a touch before crossing. He can't cross first time for ****

 

He can if he fires it in low, put some great balls in over last month or so.

To be honest, has no real need to cross it in high as none of our players are going to win headers in a packed box.

 

Firmino and Salah can head a ball, they just prefer to hang outside the box

 

Valencia used to put some great low, hard crosses in for us and we got many goals/own goals from it. Now most of his crosses are high and produce little.

 

Haven't watched you lately but Valencia had turned into a very good wing back late in his career, he never convinced me playing on the wing.

 

He did initially but his delivery over past few few games has been poor.

But there is scope to improve. Could be a shrewd signing.

 

I think we need to go all out on midfield.

Assuming Can is going, only Keita is worthy of playing in our midfield. We need two more plus Keita.

 

Doucoure if the price is right.

 

No issues with Robertson, seen earlier on in the season he does know how to put a dangerous cross in - just hasn't been there last couple of games. Will still need a LB though as we should be letting Moreno go.

Midfield is going to be the key area, Keita coming in but Can going out leaves us with very little options.

- Wiji's form has absolutely fallen off a cliff and not sure what he offers us at all right now to be honest.

- Henderson seems to be playing with less caution and getting stuck in a bit more, when he's disciplined and doing what he should be doing he's a decent enough player. Just seems to think he is Gerrard after a few good results and it puts pressure on everyone behind him as he leaves gaps.

- Milner will come in for a few games here and there as he sees out he's last year, nothing wrong with that.

That's just not a midfield that is going to do anything but challenge for 4th again, and **** that 3 seasons running.

 

Our midfield will be very different next season, Milner is getting on and wont be there Can will go Keita will come in, question is what type of player do we add?

So I think we need the mix we had with Coutinho.

Keita fills B2B Hendo is in at the DM slot which isn't good enough and we don't have a creative player.

Same if we go like this.

Still not good enough at DM keita as one of the B2B and then AOC or Wijnaldum or Lallana as the other B2B are any of those good enough?

 

Yeah agreed. Defensively I think he’s been very solid and first and foremost, especially in our team, defenders need to defend.

The full back dont need to be attacking loads, just offering an option out wide to help stretch defences for when Mane and Salah cut in and he’s been doing that so no complaints.

 

DM is a pipe dream. Klopp doesn't like them, he'd rather have two B2B workhorses complimented by a creative AM.

 

That will be fine if we get 2 midfielders who compliment each other and defend when needed, last night was a great example of 2 midfielders working together Capoue and Doucoure were superb and covered each other all night.

 

were they playing 442 then?
