And now being linked with Leno and Karious, both GKs in Germany to replace Mig.

And so it begins.... Lol

We actually have good players for the gegenpress he plays. All the midfielders holding a tight unit, with the attacking players sticking close together - FB's offering the width.

So in that sense: Clyne and Moreno bombing forward, everyone else compact and pressing high. Change Migs imo, and we're in an alright shape for the gegenpress.

On current players and form, I'd pay Ings instead of Firmino
 
Klopp kops it said:
Klopp has informed Liverpool that he wants to sign Porto midfielder Ruben Neves, 18. (Metro)

From Emipre of the Kop:

You won’t be able to find a tabloid newspaper this week that won’t publish the ‘Ruben Neves to Liverpool’ story.

The 18-year-old currently plies his trade for boyhood club FC Porto and despite his limited experience has already skippered the Portuguese giants. You may have seen him in the Champions League this season totally outplaying Chelsea stalwarts Ramires and Mikel, so it’s no surprise the rumour has generated so much online excitement.






The Echo cite it in their transfer roundup, theMetro and the Express naturally rehash it, and the Mirror’s Dave Maddock tries to explain it – as if it’s his own.

“[Lijnders] identified Neves as an outstanding talent, and has recommended the midfielder to Klopp, who also had him on the radar at Borussia Dortmund last season,” Maddock stated.

“The new German manager has insisted he will not rush into the transfer market in January, dismissing the idea he will make some huge money signings by insisting he wants to look within his squad to try and fill any gaps that emerge over the coming months.

“Instead, he will make one or two signings in key positions, with left back his first priority, and the defensive midfield role another high on his to-do list.”

In fact, the link was born on Twitter, with Liverpool fan and apparent ‘ITK’ (how we despise that phrase…) Graeme Kelly announcing the news on Saturday.

Although it’s now in the Portuguese press (O Jogo to be precise), it definitely emerged via this Liverpool fan.

Kelly is generally respected on Twitter, as these following comments from ‘Liverpool Twitter’ prove. Normally we’d ignore a Twitter rumour, but if Kelly’s comments send Reds into a meltdown and cause national newspapers to discuss it, it’s worth us covering it as well!

Ruben Neves has a £29m release clause, which in this day and age is actually a reasonable price for arguably the highest rated teenage holding midfielder on Europe right now.

Lucas is our only natural anchorman, and signing Neves, even if he were to only arrive in the summer, would be an enormous coup.

While we’re not going to claim any inside information, (all we’ve done is explained where the story came from), we really hope it’s true.
