      Divock has scored some vital goals for us but there is a reason why he doesn't start many matches for us. Brewster might be good but we need someone to offer genuine competition for the front three.

      Do we also need genuine competition and cover for VVD too? Add genuine competition for Robbo and Trent as well? We now want like for like standard on the bench ya?

      Daily fail linking Bruno Fernandes to us. Very Alonso like player. I'd take him.
      freekick would be solved.

      Bruno isn't Alonso-like. Aouar is, who I hope will play for us one day.

      Looks like we will sign either of Bruno or Pepe, unlikely both. Would be happy with the former and Wilson as a wide-player option.

      If we want to beat City then we need the same quality they have, currently our first XI is the same if not better than theirs but as long as they have better quality on the bench then they will win the league.
      We have adequate cover for VVD, we also have ok'ish cover for Robbo and Trent, and we certainly have very good cover in midfield but what we do not have is any meaningful cover for Sadio, Bobby or Mo, the drop off to Divock is to large.

      All we need is one more good quality Fullback, to play either flank but especially LB and a top top striker who can be rotated in plus offer another option from the bench. Quite often this season if the fornt three was below par thee was just nothing Jürgen could do about it as he had nobody on the bench who could come in and change things up.

      Been watching and reading up on him a fair bit, and he is supposedly more like Lampard/Dele Alli type than a playmaker.

      I would like us to buy him and sell Lallana, but just can't see it happening.

      He has pin points long passes like Alonso, he looks quicker on the feet. Because of his passes he reminds me of Alonso.

      no players are totally alike, but his passing range does remind me of Alonso.

      I believe the really strong technical players are more than capable playing the 6 role. With dominate teams such as us, City or whoever, you are likely to have more possession, and to make better use of possession, having a ball playing midfielder controlling from deep would make more sense. So I can see Bruno playing as the 6.

      Anybody think Diogo Jota (Wolves) would be a good addition if we can actually manage to make them sell?

      Pretty mobile/agile forward that can play as a striker, but can also be deployed on the wing if needed. Does not have as much pace as Mane, but he is at least as pacy as Firmino if not a bit more, good movement off the ball, has decent finishing as well as being able to assist his teammates around him. High work rate. Comes back to support the defense.

      Scored 9 and assisted 5 in the Prem this season. He's only 22, so lots of room for progress. I guess the price wouldn't be outrageous, but not super low either. We'd have a player who is already playing in the Prem, willing to sit on the bench and fight for a place and most importantly I feel like he fits the mold of forwards Klopp likes.

      "Klopp is prioritising other areas of the field, with the Reds boss needing a new goalkeeper, left-back and forward in what is expected to be a conservative summer compared to last year."

      Echo has done its best to dismiss Kruse, Depay, De Ligt, Pepe, Etheridge.. and may be now, even Bruno Fernandes. There is trust in Brewster, Origi and Shaq but it also says attacking targets [plural;D

      Jürgen does like his signings to be integrated into the squad at the start of pre-season. Interesting few weeks ahead. I trust Edwards/Jürgen to pull a rabbit out of a hat!

      Can only judge from the 2 games he played against us in the CL, but the dude could not hit water if he fell off a boat.

      I read that Barca need to generate 60M in sales during June to balance the books -- I'd like to see us offer 60M for Coutinho just for a good laugh 🤣
