      Doesn't score a lot, but he assists a lot. 3rd best assist provided in the league behind KDB and TAA with 9 of those. Considering they often leave him on the bench and play him late in games, this is even more impressive.

      Just need a striker then who'll be in the box for his crosses. None of our strike force would complement Troare.

      You'd think that at first but look at Trent and Robbo. Also, he's more than just a crosser of the ball. He can take it into the box, pass it, etc

      However, I do agree that another striker would be our priority. But our wings also need back-up and Traore can play anywhere on the right flank.

      I'd say we need back-up for Robbo definitely if Larouchi isn't up to the grade. Can't keep relying on Milner as cover.

      Wouldn’t mind us seeing some of Adam Lewis, who FWIW, I would probably put ahead of Larouchi. But I think his knee injury has held him back a bit.

      Everyone should just relax for a week or so and enjoy watching what is one of the best sides to win this league.

      We will strengthen, I have no doubt about that, but maybe the virus will delay that but for me I'm just enjoying how good a football side we have built right now.

      Yeah completely slipped my mind, tbh Larouchi came to mind with the pre-season games and the Everton cup still fresh in the memory banks and was impressed by him. So either them two hopefully make the step up and it'll probably keep the bean counters happy if our reported financial situation means we're not spending much whenever the transfer window start and ends!!

      Tbh not worrying just looking at the one key area I'd say we need to bolster.

      Spot on boys, we see what we missing when Andy is not there.

      Let's hope either of the lads make it next season to be Andy's understudy, just like Neco is TAA's. Get the chance, come on and do as good as job as the senior boys.  And we don't need to spend any money. Win Win.

      For anyone who missed it there was a cameo of Adama Traore on MOTD last night (24/6/20) after they had broadcast the Wolves game.

      Monster.

      I don't know about Traore's attitude (which is the #1 thing Klopp looks for in a player I think), but everything else about him screams Jürgen Klopp project/player. If this whole virus thing didn't happen, I'd have my money on us completing his transfer this summer.

      Let's hope we still do. Someone able to play anywhere on the right flank like him + a back up for Robbo and maybe a striker and I would be happy (Not that I am not already happy, we're about to win the PL  ;D :D )

      If we sign Traore I guess we won't really need a striker as we could play Traore on either wing and Mo or Mane through the middle if needed.

      Signing Adama would certainly open up a lot of options.

      I still believe Brewster will become the player many expected prior to the injury.   The question is how soon.

      Agreed. It would be however a good thing if we could add striker with a bigger frame and a bit more talent in the air as it would compliment TAA  (and hypothetically Traore) main weapon.

      Of course I'm not saying we change the way we play and ditch Firmino. I just think its nice to also have a more traditional striker because there's some games where you need to pump in crosses and have a tall presence or two in the box in order to break a deadlock.

      Also, one thing I think a lot of people noticed. Mo in a more central role behind the striker (sort of like an AM) is magic. The few times I've seen him drop low, take the ball and start something from a central position he had the required vision, that feeling that he's almost gliding across the pitch with the ball and that wand of a left foot that made him dish out some nice defense-carving passes. Just pointing this out bc this could essentially mean that we can play a 4-2-3-1 with Traore on as the RW. I could see Firmino, Mane and Salah almost free roaming between AM, LW and ST in this formation if we master it well.

      LB cover and Willian and Fraser on the free is good business. Win it again next season and save money for reload following season

      Fraser is overrated with a questionable attitude and Willian won't come here to sit on the bench plus he would command a big salary so a hard pass for me on both players.

      I dunno. Maybe Willian can make some good money somewhere outside of Europe and get find a good run of games. However, to me at 31 it seems he would be a great fit for a big club in a similar role he's in now. I could see him taking a wage cut for a super sub role with the best team in the world and chase trophies on his way out. He would be a great guy to bring on for the final 15 minutes to either press the ball or to see a game out.

      Why the f**k would we sign a 31 yr old has been who is no better than we already have, where is the improvement or sense to be gained? he was a good player in his day but not now, signing this kind only hampers our young lads, we have players such as Curtis Jones, Harry Wilson etc who are young , hungry & determined, we don’t need a has been warming the bench who will gladly pocket thousands each week and not give a shiny sh*te whether he plays or not.

      Willian brings way more experience, is PL proven, has way more work rate than Wilson (something Harry seems to be criticized for fairly regularly) and is a quality player who can come in and play a role for us. Any other time I wouldnt be for it, however, if we can get Willian in a deal that works for both parties he may be a nice stop gap until next season when our money options are a lot more clear.

      There will be a lot of Football to go round and we're getting to a point where we will need to rotate more regularly with the rush of games and the aging of players. Willian in a lot of ways is like Mily. Has great cardio, doesn't have as many miles on his legs as you might think (been a regular sub for a while now) and has a great understanding of the game. We could do a lot worse in a pandemic stricken off season
