      I suppose a lot of it will depend on how we set up on Saturday and how we actually perform.
      No disrespect to Brighton but If we win comfortably with no issues at the back then happy days.
      It's only if we struggle and concede stupid goals because of poor defending that we may need to look at further options.

      Whatever we do I just hope Milner never appears in our back four ever again.

      Lovren is expected back after the Brighton game.
      Matip is expected back after the Brighton game.
      Gomez is expected back at the end of the month.

      So Fabinho plays alongside Virgil for one game.

      Firmino or Salah haven't anything like the quality or options behind them.

      Club needed a 10 or similar attacking player in the Summer.
      Still needs it now. Ox isn't back until March at the earliest.

      If Klopp wanted someone I think they would be in now , he seems to want his business done as quickly as possible so I don’t think he will buy anyone

      But I do think we are close to having a deal for someone for the summer - maybe Werner or the lad from Lyon ( not Fekir )

      with Hendo and Gini in midfield with Naby and Fab alongside Virgil I am more than happy with our defensive capabilities. Sometimes these situations seem to resolve themselves and who knows what we may gain with having Fab alongside Virgil and Naby in with Hendo and Gini.

      if we could get someone in like we did with Virgil last Jan and they could hit the ground running then I am sure it would be considered.
      I bet nobody can name one player who would come here knowing ina few weeks Joe will be fit again and Joel will be back sooner than that.

      I actually think a move for Gary Cahill makes a lot of sense. He’s not getting a game this season but he’s s good player who I’ve always rated and I suspect he would keep himself ahead of Matip in the pecking order if he was to come in.

      As Klopp has already said how do you bring in a decent CB for a couple of weeks and then tell him thanks but bye bye!

      Sorry but this is nonsense, there have been plenty of good players bought in January throughout the years, yes it might be a bit more expensive but its not impossible. I would really really like to get another forward as that is the area we are most exposed, another CB would be nice but with Matip and Gomez back soon, plus hopefully Lovren not out to long then we should be ok.


      Who says that Gomez will be back soon... Could have a set back.

      And if Fab' gets an injury...?

      what somehere fail to see is that we only have one cb.VVD, and a stand in Fab'. Weathers changing and players pick up muscle strains and pulls. If Fab' picks up an injury, we rush back Gomes and he picks up an injury because of that never mind the CL and only having lets say Mapit it's the Premier League matches is were we will rely suffer..
      One lost in the next five games and we are only one point a head... It is only prudent to sign a CB in this window.

      Matip: January 19, 2019
      "There are still a few days to go until Joel is ready for contact. He can do all the fitness work already since a week or so ago."

      Gomez: January 30, 2019
      "[Joe is] getting better, it's getting better, but he is not yet involved. There are still a few days to go until we can have [him] in team training."

      There are literally dates set for them to come back.
      People are screaming for a defender that might only get 1 or 2 weeks of football.

      One or two weeks could make or break a season

      Do you have a realistic CB in mind who would move to be a number 3-4 in future?

      I had this thought after our league match against them.  He's really developed into a fine CB.  Tall, strong, quick, good on the ball, good passing ability, and reads the game well.  Think he'd immediately jump ahead of Lovren and Matip.  It would be between him and Gomez to partner VVD, or we could field all of them in a back 3. 

      Shame it won't happen -- not this window at least....

      Matip will be back this month. Fabinho will be fine for one game before that. This coady talk is kneejerk.

      Article is misleading. 36 million is his wages over 5 years. He's going on a free when his contract expires.

      Irrelevant that’s still a good deal imo for a player of his ability who stagnated under Wenger.

      Opinions buddy I reckon this is a lot down to his injury record which I believe Wenger has a lot to answer for like quite a few Arse players.
