Good Morning all. Two questions Eds, please. Firstly, I listened to a radio show where it was suggested that the game is now seeing fullbacks as almost the most important position. But still the most important is a proper 25-30 goal striker. Spurs seem to have these three areas covered RB, LB and Kane.

Second. Which in your opinion is the most important position we need to strengthen this summer. I could see TAA becoming a top RB and hope he's given that chance.

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - In answer to the first it is formation dependent - so there is no easy answer. In answer to the second, a proper left winger would be top of my list if it were down to me. Liverpool are a very good side and the left is perhaps a bit of a struggle, Brandt would be a step change if they can sort him out.

The kiddie TAA is well tjought of and does not seem out of his depth - should get more opportunities going forward.}

Cheers 002. Do you any clue as to the Brandt issue? I understand he is/ was no.1 priority, is definitely a player Klopp wants and as he plays in an area we need plus a decent transfer fee, surely he'd have played. So what assurances is it that has stopped this? Do players ask to be played regardless of form, fitness etc? Was that's what he was asking for a guarantee regardless? Does he have that currently.

{Ed002's Note - As I understand it, the situation is he wants an assurance he won't be starting from the bench. The asking price is also right up there, but Klopp does have the Klippertys for him.}
