Hi Ed's hope you've had a great Xmas, I've read online (not twitter) that Dayot Upamecano is available for 30 million, this is very cheap for a player of his age and quality so I'm not sure how true it is but if so would you see Klopp taking an interest in signing him? Hope you have a great new year everyone 👍🏻

Many thanks

Red GT.

{Ed001's Note - I very much doubt that there will be any movement on central defence when both fullback positions have so little cover and the midfield might lose a couple of players in the summer...}

Yeah Ed001. With Clyne, Moreno, Lallana and Milner (hope not) adding to it Origi and sturridge, we can expect a 3-4 signings and also back up keeper when Mignolet departs.

We have 4 senior CBs in the squad. The fact that 2 of them suffered injuries at the same time is simply unfortunate, not a reason to sign a 5th CB. Like Ed001 said, the cover for Robbo and TAA is bang average and needs upgrading the coming summer and we could do with another forward to compete with our front 3 while Shaqiri drops down into midfield. OX also back next season so i think that the MIlner and Lallana departures will be covered by these 2.

I would keep origi specifically for derby day!

Is there a good chance that Milner will go in the summer Ed001? I'd let Winjnaldum go before Milner tbh.

{Ed001's Note - depends on him.}

Every time i read Coutinho hard time in Barcelona makes me wonder if there is a little chance of him returning here he could replace Lallana but i know it won't happen just a dream. 😩😩😩.

I like the idea of Couts coming back as our Lallana replacement, ie. squad player we rarely use other than to rest others for the last 20 minutes of the odd game.

It would be funny to see Couts fulfill that role after the way he forced his way out.

In practical terms it can’t happen, his attitude would be cancerous to our squads current dynamic, but it would be funny him warming our bench week after week.

I’m not bitter about how he left, honest.

{Ed002's Note - Coutinho will not be returning to Liverpool.}

I don’t think our full back cover is too bad atm, Milners versatility really helps this but if he left it would leave us thin on the ground.

{Ed002's Note - Fabinho is a more than capable RB.}

If Adam Lewis steps up, I think LB back up position is covered.
If we really look TAA future is in Middle then we have to buy a first team RB
When Lallana and Milner (hopefully not) departs, we have Ox to cover. Maybe anyone from Academy (I don't know)
I think we need a quality forward who can rotate with our front 3. Wilson needs another loan to Prem team IMO
And then a back up GK as Migs will leave
If Matip also looks to leave we have Nat. If Klopp deems he isn't good enough now then another 4th choice CB
I think this will be our summer transfers. Rest depends on the outgoing.

LB cover/ competition should be a priority, especially with Moreno complaining about Klopp's man-management and not playing as well as his expiring contract. Someone who can also double as a RB as well would be perfect.

I'd like to see Camacho given Clynes role next season. Gomez and Fabinho both more than capable RB plus Milner. Maybe invest in a left back who can play LW? I hear Gareth Bale is available (kidding)
