Hi Ed002, I've seen you mention a few times that we're looking for either a CDM or a versatile CDM/ CM, and I just wanted to see if you personally think we actually need an extra player there? Because I feel like our midfield is pretty stacked at the moment.
In CDM we have Endo and a returning Baj to compete for a place, with Macca already proving he can provide very strong cover if needed. Then James McConnell has looked a good prospect whenever he's played and I don't think Tyler Morton would worry me if he played a few games there, even if I imagine he may well want more playing time and leave on loan/ permanently.
Then for CM we have Macca, Szoboszlai, Jones, Gravenberch, Elliott and Clark. This is all before we even start the debate about potentially moving Trent into midfield, whether that be as a CDM/ CM (it's CM for me! ) .
So that's 8 bona fide 1st team players and 3 young players on the cusp of being 1st team to cover what is likely 3 positions. I know there was a bit of overlap between the two positions and maybe the new manager will see some of these players differently (Szobo for example as more of an attacker), but I don't really see the need to add anyone unless one or two of the 1st team players get sold (which I can't see happening) and/ or a lot of the young ones go out on loan. So I'd be interested to hear your thoughts if that's okay!
{Ed002's Note - I think it is a valid point but the club has continued to look to add in that position and have been continuing to scout players in both positions.}

Sorry Ed, I've missed this, where did he say he sees himself in the longterm?

Not to mention Bajčetić coming back next season too and Gravenberch coming into form just before his injury! I also think Tyler Morton has it in him to be good Premier League player, even if in all likelihood it's sadly not with us. Let's not forgot our latest midfield find too in Joe Gomez (kidding, although he definitely hasn't let us down there) .
For what it's worth, in my opinion our strongest three at the moment are Endo, Mac and Jones (if Jones or Macca could get used to the right side, which I'm sure they would) . My mind does seem to change constantly at the minute because we have so many options, which can only be a good thing!
It feels like the midfield has gone from real problem position to ridiculously strong strength in depth in the space of half a season, which just shows how incredible a job Klopp and everyone running the club is doing. He's leaving us in such a strong position - the future looks very bright!
