Ed002, if you were Klopp who would be your realistic targets for CB, CM and FW this summer?

{Ed002's Note - Assuming sufficient sales to raise the money, of the players Liverpool have shown at least some level of interest in, Konate (CB), Bissouma (CM) and perhaps take a chance on a youngster to replace Origi - Ricky-Jade Jones (S) or Matthew Hoppe (S).}

Agree with Konate and Bissouma but definitely need a new attacker to come in who can make an instance impact.

{Ed002's Note - The problem would be that he would be replacing Origi and unless one or more of Jota, Mane, Firmino or Salah then he would only get the same number of opportunities as Origi. If Mane or Salah were to go the choice would be different.}

CB - Konate (if Kabak does not convince Klopp until the end of the season
CM - Hard to disagree with Bissouma, being BPL proven and an upgrade on Gini
FW - Patson Daka (if funds permit) and Zambia unlikely to qualify for AFCON.

Thanks ed002.
So say bobby or Mane leave, who would you bring in to replace?

{Ed002's Note - Patson Daka.}

If Mane were to also go, Ed?

{Ed002's Note - The Patson Daka as a striker would be attractive.}

Ed, what are your thoughts on Darwin Nunez and Amine Ghouiri to replace Origi?

Given that Bissouma plays for a PL team, we may find we are priced out. Are there suitable alternatives?

Also, would Kounde be of interest to us? I feel he would complement Virgil better than Konate.

{Ed002's Note - These are all players that Liverpool has no interest in. An English club who enquired about Darwin Nunez were told he won't be available before 2022. Amine Ghouiri is not for sale.}

CB B White or Webster.
CM Bissouma or H Barnes
Attack Neto or Raphina
All PL proven.

I think konate, bissouma and a young striker along with minamino coming back along with all injured players would be enough next season.

What will be interesting is who will be leaving to make space for these players. They always struggle to move what some may consider squad players.

Ed002, Mane and Bobby in no way should be guaranteed first team players next season. Simply Jota is not enough as competition. Salah looks a little burnt out as well coz our regular front 3 have been run into the ground.
Man City have Mahrez, Aguero, Torres (all good enough to be first team players) on the bench and able to step in when the others need a rest without a drop off in quality. Liverpool need similar blend of quality and depth coz Origi, Shaq and Minamino are just not up to scratch.
A player like Daka or maybe Donyell Make is exactly what we need. Someone who is a genuine threat to Firmino and Mane's places in the first team and who we can build our future forward line around.
I'd say Daka replaces Origi and Minamino. Elliot replaces Shaq.

{Ed002's Note - Players of a higher-profile are not going to move if they are not going to play and Liverpool do not have the money to add such players.}

Just out of curiosity, how much would a player like Daka or Malen cost? I'd assume in 30 million pound region along with agent fees.
Maybe LFC will need to find buyers and good prices for Origi, Minamino and Shaq before we look for that type of forward.

{Ed002's Note - Of that order.}

I'd never heard of Daka before but have been checking him out on youtube (not always a concrete source of credibility) but from what I saw he reminds me a lot of Mane. Very fast, strong and decent with both feet. Also still very young. I'd love to see him in our red shirt!

Patson Daka looks great!
How much will he go for? Big money?

No offence to anyone on here, but all these talks gives the impression that the Academy is non existent or is useless or clueless in identifying, recruiting and developing emerging talents.
Thanks.

{Ed077's Note - in what way? Players come and go every year, at every club

Why not explore the academy and give them a chance instead of looking for other team's players, e. g Nat Philips, jones.
