I've been about as patient as anyone, but I would really like to see the rest of our business wrapped up in time for new recruits to have 1-2 weeks to settle in before the season kicks off. I'm very confident that we will have a significantly improved 1st team by the end of the window. I'm just starting to doubt that we will have much of that business completed in the next 7-10 days....
I'm going to step back a bit and play Devil's Advocate.
We spent most of last season and much of the one before (apres Rodgers) banging on about the positions we were crying out for cover for.
Milner slotted into the Left Back role and carried it well.
Quality of the squad was dire.
When you actually step back the targets we were asking for are starting to happen.
A Lethal Winger : I dont think anyone has the legs and speed that Mo Salah has . Tick .
A Left Back : The lad Robertson . Domestic player rising through the leagues on merit and landing himself with us. Tick.
A Striker : Have we unearthed something special in Solanke ? 20 a season ? Being fed by Salah and Mane ?
I'm going to say why not ? If not in his first season then second quite possibly. Tick.
A Defensive Midfielder : VVD ? Keita ? A.N. Others ? When and if it happens Tick .
Goalie ? Seems as if Klopp has placed his faith in Migs who pulled his socks up at seasons end. Karius still holds his German
national team status . Danny impresses.... is he going to be our new number 1 keeper ? Tick Tock ?
The window is still wide open with weeks to go.
The jigsaw puzzle we were always in haste to point out is slowly and surely coming together.
