Hi Ed's, hope you're well, just wondering about the full back situation, I know we are looking for a back up LB but is Hoever seen as a potential back up RB or is he still too young being a school boy and all? Also with the new lad Sepp van den Berg signing would this mean Lovren is free to go to Milan as rumoured or is it unrelated?

Many thanks

Red GT.

{Ed002's Note - No, the club want someone with experience to fill that role. These are children you are talking about - not first team players. At best they will perhaps get a run out in an occasional league cup or FA cup game if Liverpool can struggle past the early rounds.}

Is sepp left footed?

{Ed002's Note - He is a child, his feet are soft and pliable and haven't matured yet.}

Oscar De Marcos would fit the bill.

Lol ed02, i get it, he's a youth signing. But we have to get excited by something in silly season! Ill google what foot he favours.

I think we lack a lcb. Obviously whoever came in wouldn't be starting many games but there are always injuries. So a talented youngster with first team experience seems a good shout. Pace is pretty important for our cbs so an ageing player seems less likely.

Robbiesline, although Lovren has mostly played on the right hand side of defence recently, that is just to play VVD on the left where he prefers. Lovren's preference is on the left and played at lcb for Southampton.

Hopefully Ed Klopp will take the domestic cups more seriously this year mate.

Football ages always make me laugh.
A 17 year old is considered a child whilst in the real world most of us over a certain age today (who left before they raised education leaving age), probably already worked a year+ in a full time job as an adult.
And when footballers turn 30 they are past their prime, getting on a bit and close to retirement. But again in the real world that won’t start happening till we are over 60 xD.

Thanks epic p, yeah i remember him on the left a lot. I prefer him on the right though. I thought klavan had come good by the time we sold him. Understandable that he wanted to leave but would've made me, as a fan, feel more comfortable.

Our defence was poor since we sold Agger. Well, not brilliant. Its so much less stressfull watching the boys with such a solid back 5 again.

OGRed_Phil, a 17 yr old by any other name is STILL a 17 year old hence, is still a child. It's that simple.

RedWolf child support and child benefits stop at 16 unless the child stays in education studying a-levels or equivalent though ;) unless it’s all changed now, no idea xD.
