      I think you need to watch Keita play a bit more.

      It's OK he's got Pulisic going into the midfield.

      #6 in the base of the 3, role Hendo plays. Keita does not play that role for Leipzig and wont for us

      Coutinho played a lot of this season in a midfield 3 for us, you saying Pulisic couldnt?

      You say Keita doesn't play the deepest midfield role (#6), but have you actually watch Leipzig regularly this season? He has played that role and dominated, as has he played in the 8 role, right and left midfield/forward too.

      He is an upgrade to all our midfielders regardless of the roles they play, and with Keita being more effective as central midfield hub player, we will probably see the best in him as a #6 in the midfield 3 or an #8 in the midfield 2.

      No one knows where Naby will play next year but suffice to say playing him as a No6 would be a waste of his talents imo.
      His passing to break the lines and ability to run with the ball, has all the hall marks of a great No 8.

      I'm not saying I watch them every week but any time I see him he is a progressive forward thinking player with licence. And if he plays #6 are you suggesting he puts Henderson on the bench or Henderson plays further forward?

      I don't think it's a waste of his talents.And whilst I agree he has all the hall marks of a great #8, I too think he has all the hall marks of a great #6. He is basically Wijnaldum with balls and some added bonuses :D

      I agree, no idea where or how he will be used, but I would have no qualms if he played as a 6, 8 or 10, just think he should be the focal point of the team for us to see Keita at his true best.

      Well, I am sure it'll be similar to this season where our midfield will be rotated. But if Klopp decides to play him as a #6, I have no doubt he will be our best #6, same goes with #8 and #10.

      TBH, hardly seen him play. However, do feel that we need one more goal-scoring midfielder AFTER Keita and may be Jorginho. Will be a strong midfield squad

      Keita - Jorginho - Chambo | Milner - Hendo - AM | Grujic - Gini - Lallana.

      Will be an interesting summer!

      To paraphrase George Harrison's quip (on which football team he supported as a boy), there are three midfield positions in Jürgen's system, and Naby Keita plays the other one.

      Don't disagree, but I also think this will look much different than when Phil played there.

      Echo quoted someone else in their rumors bit. Really don't see him coming here.

      Among other things, we don't need to be signing Real Madrid and Bayern Munich's rejects. We're as good as them, now. Saw something today about Vidal being linked. Not a bad player, but he's only linked because Bayern are bringing in Goretzka and so Vidal will be surplus to their needs. That is not our problem. Jürgen will continue to recruit the players who, sooner or later, will contribute to this being a championship-winning TEAM.

      Think the story came from Don Balon which is basically seen as a joke source. Everything I’ve seen that uses them as a source say how they basically shouldn’t be paid attention to. Constantly going on about Salah to Madrid.

      With how badly Chelsea are doing this season, we should put in a bid for N'Golo Kanté  ;D

      Robertson last year.. Wijnaldum the year before

      Just out of curiosity, if Saints and Stoke go down with West Brom, do they have players who can make it to our MatchDay squad of 18?

      Fraser Forster as GK #2 if Mignolet is sold? If Jürgen is planning to stick with Karius as #1 that is!

      yup - no credibility whatsoever.
