I don't think there would be a better midfield in the league than Henderson/ Wijnaldum/ Keita.

The amount of energy would overwhelm any team. With Lallana to come in as well and Can (maybe) and Grujic, we have such depth there.

Gini gets the shout for me as the energy from him Keita and Henderson would just wear teams down so quickly, freeing up Lallana for later in the game if we need him to be a bit more creative.

Even without Pip that would be an exceptional group of players in my opinion.

I have never watched Naby Keita play, only youtube videos. Is this guy really that good? For the kind of fee he would command, you expect him to be a superstar.
i would love to see more of Grujic though.

Something that does sound better is
Henderson
Coutinho Keita
Now that is a dream midfield! Andnif we have a midfield of that quality no reason we can't win the league.

I don't see how we can keep Coutinho and get Keita if i'm honest.

You would assume that those two and club captain are going to be the regular starters.

So there's no chance that we could keep Gini, Lallana, Grujic and Can happy with enough game time.

Grujic would most definitely lose his work permit, Can is already stalling on a new deal so would likely leave, either now or next year for free, Lallana wants to be playing regularly and Gini was Klopp's chosen guy and played almost every game when fit last season.

I really do think it's going to be Keita or Coutinho.

Red dawn, we bid for keita before Barcelona came for couts so that was clearly the intention- to have both. Barcelona may have had ongoing interest but their first choice is veratti.

Henderson - Keita - Coutinho would dominate the league! This is title winning midfield after Masch - Xabi - Gerrard!
