My opinion is that we will wrap Lavia up pretty soon and we’re happy to wait up until the end of the end of the window for a more experienced midfielder - I’m guessing Tchou and Caicedo are the ones we’re waiting for ie will Real sell Tchou and will Chelsea buy caicedo.
I'd put it more like
Will real buy mbappe and then who needs to be shifted.
I don't see any reason for brighton to want to sell caicedo on the last day if they resist to that time. They have the contract length as the boy is an idiot.
I am not so sure we want 2 CMs at this point or really want a CM and CB.
Currently I do think his no 1 line up has a box midfield with trent moving in beside SOMEONE and szoboszlai and macallister up the park causing utter mayhem. I think he will be happier that he has jones playing ok to cover LCM and elliott for RCM but he really then is looking at thiaog, bajectic and morton as odds and ends.
My view would be when thaigo goes then a CM becomes his next thing IF bajcetic isn't in his thoughts.
Currently the CB situation is scary. Konate is a bit of an injury concern. gomez scares me, his confidence is gone. Matip is shot through so IMO the really obvious issue is CB AND if he buys a LCB then he's got that option you love of dropping robertson to make this a proper 3223.
IF I were klopp then I'd be thinking cover that off and focus on the two major comps. theres a great excuse this year to play kids all over the domestic cups and peoepl will buy it.
Look at the line up he might have (given he needs b list players for europa as well)
Quansah, Bradley, Chambers, Koumetio, Clark, Doak,Bajectic, Morton, Mcconnel, Scanlon, Koumas, Cannonier, Frauendorf, Gordon, Mrozek. Theres barely a reason play a senior player bar to give a run out to gomez and kelleher.
If the decision is to spend it all on Lavia now then my big worry is CB. I really don't think we have that covered.
