where do you think we need to strengthen in the summer ed001?
would also be interested as to which players you think should be brought in. cheers.

{Ed001's Note - we need a keeper and left back as the main priorities. Everything else is not vital. They are desperate needs though. I don't know who though, I got asked months ago to write an article about the best left and right backs in the world and the only reason it took me months to do the right backs and that the left back one is still not done, is purely because of the lack of quality full backs around. At times I have liked the look of Gaya from Valencia, but watching him closely last night and he is as poor defensively as Moreno. Like Moreno he relies on pace rather than ability, reading of the game or positioning. Though he does offer very good delivery. We might need to hope Smith or Moreno can be taught how to defend.

As for keeper, personally I would suggest Zieler, he seems to offer the best all round package for a team that needs a quick fix. He has lived in England before, so he wouldn't struggle to settle and speaks English fluently. He is also a very good keeper.}

I would like to add a couple more addition.
Desperately need a RW. Someone who has pace and trickery. Very much like Matrial / Mahrez mound. His pace won him the penalty, you just can't handle pace.
A world clas CDM/ CM. A proper £30 mill Player and not messing around. We lack discipline and passing perfection in the middle.
Rest on the basis of outgoings.

{Ed001's Note - we have a central midfielder coming in and Stewart for the defensive role. We do not need to throw away money so you FIFA players can masturbate over them. As for the right wing, we have a whole host of young wingers, again it is throwing away money due to a lack of patience. Develop what we have, not spunk money on needless buys so that we can lose any hope of getting quality young players to sign for us in the future.

Let's give Klopp the chance to develop them, that is what his main strength is. No more of this collecting players like Brendan did that you want.}

Totally agree Ed, develop what we've got rather than blowing money on someone who may not settle and will need patience.
Just have patience with the youth players, it will pay off.

Correct me if I am wrong Ed.
Markovic future is uncertain and I would personally allow Lallana to move on which give us only 3 youngsters for the wide role. Ibe, Kent and Ojo. I would defo add one world class Winger and bed the three on the other side.
Stewart is certainly in my books to play for the next game. I would move on Milner and bring a CDM which will push Hendo and Can further ahead and release the shackle from defensive duties.
These two signings along with a keeper and LB would take us back into Top 2 or 3 next season.
I don't think they are money wasting. Two paotiona which we have never filled in long time.

Cheers.

{Ed001's Note - one world class winger? Stick to FIFA because you are dreaming. You are talking about fantasy crap. This is real life, we are not going to get a world class winger. We need to develop one.}

What is wrong with people lallana for me is good enough, he works hard can use both feet and is really starting to push forward under klopp if fifa give him an upgrade will people like him more. Markovic will hopefully get a run in the team as he could be a real top top talent and very exciting. I think milner, allen, benteke maybe even lucas even though i think he is brilliant all need to move on and let's start giving the younger ones more game time. Gomes can cover lb, ings will be back and then get a new keeper and that will be a winner for me.

any knowledge as to what klopp wants to do with markovic eds?

{Ed002's Note - There won;t be any decision at this time but Liverpool know that there is interest in him and the player will not want to be pushed to the fringes of the team again.}

Im sure a lot of LFC fans on this site including me want us to sign a new top quality winger. But like Ed001 said, where is that 'top quality winger' going to come from? Does anyone honestly think Bale, Reus, Moura, Douglas Costa or Robben will want to come to LFC right now? It may be time to give Kent, Ibe, markovic and Ojo their chance in the first team than splurge 15-20 million on decent wingers who may be no better than what we already have. Ed002's list of wingers the club has had watched includes Gokhan Tore, El Ghazi, Nkoudou etc. Do we really need these players and are they going to come in and set the league alight? I very much doubt it because all of them lack experience and play in low quality leagues (no disrespect intended) .
Personally, a top GK and a LB will do for me. If things still do not get better, then may be the club could look at a winger and CM next January.

"Spunk Money", now there's a line I wasn't expecting to read whilst eating my breakfast, bon appetite Ed.

{Ed001's Note - I am sure it made it taste all the better mate.}

You might be thinking of Ed2 there 😈.

{Ed001's Note - ah no, that is Ed007 who thinks of Ed002.}

I'd be fine if we only got one new signing in a genuine first team contender at GK to compete with Migs, having said that, looking at the other positions

1) I personally don't mind the LB issue as I think Smith can make the step up if Moreno fails to improve defensively, or if not him then worst case switch Flanno to LB (leaves us a bit exposed on the right but that's a worst case outcome)

2) Def agree no need for CM with Can playing well with Hendo, Grujic to come in and lots of alternatives like Stewart

3) I would be perfectly happy with Markovic, Ibe and Ojo competing for the "pacy winger" option should we need one, and Coutinho, Firmino, Llalana remaining as our "A team" with Milner as utility backup. To be fair though if we could somehow find a Sanchez type character and we let go of Benteke and perhaps even Milner at a decent price then I'd go for it. could jump us forward a year or two in terms of development IMO

4) no need for another striker or CB (assuming we keep Skrtel as backup)
