For fun as we aren't signing anyone today.

If you could sign one player on deadline day today that is currently still playing in world football that you feel would make our first eleven better - and you are allowed to put aside money, availability and rivalries - then who would it be?

I'll kick things off - Bernardo Silva.

has to be mbappe to improve the first 11. I'd also sign Julian Brandt.

Definately mbappe for me.

Mbappe all day everyday.

Mbappe is popular choice but who would you drop in our first eleven to make the team better then? Firmino?

Kante, all day and every day. We have enough firepower we are consistently at or near the top of the scoring charts. Kante would give us the drive from midfield that just isn't quite there in some games.

{Ed025's Note - you have a plethora of midfielders who work hard but dont create anything reddawn...its someone creative you need which is why i went for silva mate..

Interesting . loads of Mbappe and Bernardo Silva, just one Messi and no Ronaldo.

{Ed025's Note - if messi and ronaldo were made of chocolate they would eat themselves roy, great players...but arseholes mate..

Hazard for me. He can do it all.

Mbappe, with Sadio Mane moving to CAM. It's just difficult not to pick the worlds best young player. Build the team around him and you're set for years to come. That or you might just pick him for the resale value.

Otherwise Havertz is my choice, a creative midfielder who's extremely versatile. If I don't have to factor in age then it would be Kevin De Bruyne or Kante.

Hazard, or Peter Crouch.?

Ed025, i get that point but the thing is Kante was a creator when he was at Leicester too, he was able to pick the ball up deep and make driving runs at the opposition and also pick killer passes, he terrified the opposition both when defending and when launching counter attacks.

I think a lot of the issue with our midfield at times is that they do work very hard but they lack that impetus to really drive at the opposition and get them scared. Hendo, Wijnaldum, Ox, Fabinho, Lallana can all pick a nice pass but I think lack that heads up running at players from deep that is Kante's bread and butter. (with the possible exception of Ox who was looking more like that sort of player before the injury)

Plus having him in the squad would free up some of the other midfielders a lot. It would give the very dangerous Fabinho more time on the ball and we've all seen what he can do if he has time to play his game.

I respect your view Ed025, but will have to disagree this time. All the best.

{Ed025's Note - its all about opinions in the end reddawn mate..

Hahaha love it Ed

I agree the one thing we could really benefit from in the first 11 is a game changer from midfield. I’d go KDB just for his age compared to David Silva.

{Ed025's Note - another really good player SG..

===============

Difficult to disagree with you there mate . but I'll tell you something, as a Liverpool supporter I really did n't like Ronaldo until a year or so ago when I read about him and the charity work he does . loads of it unpublished . he really cares about children and their security, built few schools and hospitals in his home town, and donates all around the world .

{Ed025's Note - he does great work on that front roy, but as a personality on the field hes a bit of a mars bar mate..

Havertz.
