Andrea Ranocchia (Inter)

Following Tuesday night's 1-0 defeat of Stoke City during which Dejan Lovren, the Liverpool centre-back, limped off with a hamstring injury, Klopp swiftly moved to plug the gap with Andrea Ranocchia, Italian website TuttoMercato has claimed.

Ranocchia, the Inter Milan centre-back, is struggling to get regular first-team football at San Siro under Roberto Mancini and the two clubs, according to TuttoMercato, now just need to agree a fee before the move can go through.

With Martin Skrtel, Mamadou Sakho, Joe Gomez, Jon Flanagan and Lovren all out injured, the Italy international would more than likely stroll into Liverpool's starting XI should Klopp and Mancini agree a fee.

Well, our standards don't really matter anymore so the only question is, is he uninjured? If so, sign him up. Whether he's good or not, we need warm bodies.

This happened very quickly. Anybody know more about him  like is he a LCB or RCB, his strengths and weaknesses

From what I recall, he is a right footed RCB.  I always thought he looked solid when I watched him a few years back, but then again he did have Zanetti and Samuel on either side of him with Cambiasso sitting in the holding role, so they may have been responsible for making him look better than he actually is....

F**k that!!!

No more shitty Italians!!!

F**k that!!!

Madness, watched him at Inter and Lovren is more reliable than him ffs.

Good,
 he signed for Sampdoria on a loan deal
