Don't think he's as crap as the season he had. Do think he played well out of his boots during Euro 2016.
Wouldn't make a significant difference on what we have and similar to Hendo, Gini, and Can he's another player who hasn't yet seemed to have decided whether he's a #6, 8, or 10.
Doesn't matter as we likely won't sign him or anyone else anyway.
Klopp doesn't play with a traditional 6, 8 or 10.
He's said it many times, that he expects players to not only rotate, but to be aware of chances that arise and take advantage of them regardless of where they are in the midfield, leaving another midfielder to fill the gap left.
Starting positions are pretty irrelevant in a Klopp team; it's all about movement, rotation and taking advantage of gaps.
In other words, he wants players to be mentally aware, clever, and able to take advantage of opposition mistakes.
We saw Henderson, Gini and Can all in what people term the "number 6" position against Hoffenheim.
We saw all three in the "number 8" position, and the "number 10" position, as well as Firmino.
