In the last two season Coutinho played twice as much on the left and Hazard twice as much centrally. They are both attacking creative midfielders who can interchange positions hence they are comparable which was my point to begin with.
Fekir is also a versatile AM who can play centrally or on the right. Klopp wants versatile players who can interchange positions, not rigid. Hence we have signed Shaqiri and I expect Lallana to play the role this season also.
I wouldn't get so fixated on us signing a dedicated number 10 as Klopps system is fluid so it's not a necessity.
I don't think you understand the type of player we're lacking and the type of player klopp wanted/needs. Your posts suggest you don't.
Hazard makes no sense. We've got Mane, Salah and Shaqiri. I've no idea why you've brought him into the discussion. He is not the type of player we need or what we're short on.
I asked you and you ignored me. When the Fab Four would play, where would coutinho be? I'm not denying he was used on the left on some occasions. But when we had a full strength side out, where would coutinho be?
Likewise, klopp wanted to sign fekir. So same question. If we had a full strength side out, where do you think fekir was going to play?
We are lacking that player who can play as part of the midfield three but be the top of the triangle. We have Lallana, and personally I rate Lallana, but his injury problems are a big concern.
Yes you're right. Versatile is key to how we play. We all interchange. Its great. But we still sign specific players who play in specific roles who have specific talents. If we didn't, why don't we just play James Milner in the 10 then who's the most versatile player we have?
So actually, it is important that we sign a 'number 10'.
