We need to sign someone who will give us what mane gives us when he goes to the African cup.
Other than that id say were ok unless some leave though I would personally sign a goalkeeper who can dominate there area preferably one with premier league experience and in there 30s
Ojo, Ejaria?
I am fine if the gaffer wants to go grab another player to cover Mane...that being said were not going to go drop £30 million for one and get a like for like comparable to Mane...so if we are going to go grab a lesser quality clone we need to compare that type of player to what we have in the two above.
We want cover yes...but we don't want to throw up a roadblock for those behind who are obviously sitting right behind the 1st team and waiting to come in.
We lose Mane to ACN...we could play
Coutinho, Lallana, Firmino as a front 3
Firmino, Origi, Lallana as a front 3
Firmino, Lallana, (Ojo/Ejaria) as a front 3
4-4-2 with Hendo/Wijnaldum/Coutinho/Lallana/Firmino with Sturridge/Origi up top.
Seeing how our players don't really seem to have defined positions up front there are a ton of combinations/formations we can play.
Again if the gaffer wants someone I am sure we will get them, but I am also sure he is looking at a couple of kids that are just about ready to step in and he does not want to throw a roadblock in they're path.
