I'm an optimist, so yes please to Mr Fekir if he wants to join us.

A GK, RB or CB and DM next and I'm happy, plus replace anyone significant who leaves ideally as the squad is pretty thin.

Get this window right and next season could be quite interesting! :)

Please stop saying DM. We ain't signing one anytime soon. Klopp wants a DLP, not a pure DM. And forget about CB as well. Klopp like Lovren and will keep him as VVD's partner next season.
Fekir
A RB
DLP
Keita

These 4 signings will be Klopp's summer business imo.

Agree with Buzzer, but think Butland or another keeper will join also.

Not striker?

Would like Reina over someone like Butland though. Would cost less and Karius could get some helpful tips from Reina on how to be the ideal sweeper keeper. Butland would just shatter the confidence of some of our talented young GKs like Grabara.

And how is Ceballos a DLP Indian! Stop giving this lecture. We are not linked with any true DLP. Ceballos is the next Wijnaldum. Converted midfielder.

Harry, I did not mention Ceballos anywhere in my post and at no point of time have I ever said Ceballos would be a good option for DLP. Like many, I believe Ceballos lacks the discipline and awareness to play the role and is better off as an advanced midfielder.
Would like one of Jorginho or Neves to be our DLP, not Ceballos.

You have said Klopp wants a DLP Indian and the only midfielder we are linked with is Ceballos and this page has already established him as the successor of Alonso! The fact is we are doing what we did an year ago! Buy Wijnaldum and play him somewhere else to suit our requirements.
You are right about Ceballos. He lacks discipline and is not a good passer of the ball. He is a Lallana and Lallana itself can't find a place in our midfield. We don’t need anymore advanced midfielder.

Hang on Harry, I thought Ceballos was the next Lallana? Now he is the next Wijnaldum?

I honestly don't believe you've ever watched him because you can't even be consistent. It's like your throwing handfuls of waste, hoping some of it will stick.

He is totally different to Lallana and Wijnaldum. They both started as left wingers and converted to attacking midfielders.

Ceballos started as a central midfielder, and due to his versatility has covered on the left and behind a striker. He us still a midfielder by nature though.

The three strongest aspects to his game are tackling, shielding the ball, and dribbling out of tight situations. He is an unorthodox midfielder, but of all the players we've had in the last few years, the closest we've had to Ceballos was probably Joe Allen. Ceballos is essentially a superior version of Allen. In Spain, they have dubbed him the next Modric.

He can play line splitting passes and switch the play, but I admit he doesn't have the vision and passing range to loft a perfectly weighted pass in behind like a Jorginho/ Pirlo type player, or to hit a raking diagonal in behind the full back. But he defends much better than either of those guys ever have, and shields the ball better when he is pressured. Not every DLP has to be able to bend a perfect pass in behind the defence.

Ceballos will be tasked with bringing the ball out from the back with composure, and feeding one of Keita, Ox or Fekir who can then break on the opposition at pace. Klopp is building a counter pressing system. He has repeatedly called our tactics "counter pressing" in multiple interviews. He doesn't want 70% possession like City, and a pass master dictating the game. He wants to draw the opposition out, and pounce on mistakes at scintillating pace.

Harry, we have also been linked to Jorginho and Neves. Both are DLPs. I still don't think we will be signing Ceballos. He will stay in La liga imo.

Cmon MK Wijnaldum is an example of how we buy a player and play him somewhere whe he has hardly played before. And why do you think you are the only source for player info? Type his name on google and you get 756 sites to dig about him. Ceballos is not a Deep lying playmaker. Now do you want to play him there? That’s upto the manager. He could play him anywhere just like he played Milner and Wijnaldum in the holding role. Would he do a job? Not as good as someone who actually play there. Do you want to repeat the henderosn saga for another year?
I was reffering to Indian who claims we are after a DLP. I don’t know who! Do you know? We are not after any DLP. We are after Ceballos! Please stop calling him a DLP.

MK

Ceballos Shields the defense!
No he doesn’t MK. That is just a wish! His strength ( a few you have mentiond while a few you are exaggerating ) lie s elsewhere.

Our midfield three should be
Kieta - Fekir - Holding mid / DLP / DM / Positoonaly sound CM / Old school Souness / Alonso.
