Robertson is the left back and we have Clyne who can provide back up if needed plus also AA and Gomez - for the first time in a while the back line is prob somewhere that doesn’t need strengthening
Only see snippets of Fekir and he does look very good - certainly would give a lot of midfield options

Looking more and more likely. They're flashing the cash left right and centre, it's got to come from somewhere.

Haha. That was too easy. It was a joke, you need to chill out.
Lemar's going to Atletico - preliminary agreement was signed back in June.
I’ll hold my hands up, completely forgot about him! Knew they’d had TAA break through and completely forgot about him!
I think he works better further forward (as one of your 3), but think your midfield has been strengthened well.
Forgot about Robertson..... not sure I rate Clyde there though and imo Gomez and AA need to play on their preferred roles so they can grow as players, not be moved about and then lose confidence.
Gomez next to VVD would be a brave call, hard to leave the best cb in the world on the bench 😜, but feel Gomez is a great prospect at centre. He was found out a few times whenever a cross came from the opposite side when he was playing full back.

Spending the Coutinho and telly money we have been in credit over the past few years - add in a few players like Sturridge , Ings , Mignolet going adds a few pennies in
Happy to have a wager that come the end of the transfer window Salah will still be a Liverpool player. Only people that has even mentioned Salah going to Madrid were the Madrid based media just before the CL , since then the player and agent have laughed off any previous talk.
How much realistically can you expect for those 3?
I reckon just getting of Sturridge from the wage bill would be a bonus. The other 2 hardly set the world alight either. I know the market is crazy, but I don’t expect them to cover a single decent player purchase.

Yep Gomez got caught out a few times with someone on the back post but think he will end up as a CB - Klopps response to that quote was funny , in fairness to Lovren since VVD arrived he has been brilliant - I expect Klopp sees him as part of his number one partnership , hopefully it’s a partnership that keeps getting better - the arrival of VVD was immense for us
The if Fekir does arrive then the options for the front 6 are impressive and finally has a bit of depth to it with players like Gini , Henderson , Shaqiri, Ox being back up maybe
I think if the signings go through I can see this as the line up to start
Gk - Allison/Ward
RB - AA/Clyne
CB Lovren
CB VVD
LB Robertson
M - Henderson/Fabinho
M - Keita
M - Fekir
F - Mane
F - Firmino
F - Salah
Think on paper it looks a very good 11 but got to rely on the front three firing
Could be a great season to look ahead too

Just read that Liverpool are 4 million short of Roma's asking price. Could be Rammel talk but if Liverpool are 4 million short, I would suggest they find it very soon. An excellent buy.
joking aside, it did make me chuckle that they are looking at a keeper that let 7 past him when Roma played Liverpool last season

Just a random question...
What on earth is going on with goalies gloves! These are freakin huge, how easy do they want it?

It's that time of the year when the new kits are out, Utd have started the silly season by charging £183 for a full " authentic" kit.

Man City’s is £160. You don’t charge as much because demand isn’t there because you don’t have the fan base. Save any faux outrage.

I think you're misjudging Fekir, there's very little chance of him playing midfield in a 4-3-3, unless it's very advanced. You'd be looking at a 4-2-3-1 in that case, which is a bit different to what you lot were playing last season. I'd say he plays in the front three if he arrives. Your squad will be enormous by that point. Zero chance of keeping everyone happy. You'll have to make some sales, Wijnaldum for example is getting nowhere near this team anymore.

Who the hell buys the full kit anyway?? :rofl:
As a Spurs member, they send me a 15% discount for the online store on my birthday, and luckily my birthday is September so it's a decent excuse to order a new Spurs shirt then.

Oh, and I've just seen these quotes from Daniel Sturridge:
“I see myself staying at Liverpool, hopefully being part of the team week in, week out,†Sturridge told the Daily Mirror. “Pre-season is going well, so for me it’s keeping my head down and building on that. I’m excited about the season ahead and it feels great to be back.â€
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Good luck with that Dan!

Such a shame what happened to him. He really would be the perfect partner to kane.. pace and skill. Shame he developed injury issues

Yeah, Fekir's more of a central CAM/False-nine type player, imagine the role Griezmann has been playing for France, so wouldn't really slot into a 4-3-3 midfield.
Also hilarious that even after specifying "if the transfers go through" it's still "Alisson/Ward" in Phil's team. £62m and he's still in possible rotation with Ward.
I would expect Liverpool to line-up:
Alisson
TAA
Lovren
Van Dijk
Robertson
Henderson
Fabinho
Keita
Salah
Mane
Firmino
Struggle to see how you play Keita and Fekir in the same team and maintain any sort of balance. If he signs he plays instead of Firmino or you risk going too top-heavy, or you play him slightly out of position on the wings, a position he's okay at but he's no Coutinho. I don't think Liverpool really need him, feels like spending money for spending moneys sake.
