Firstly and foremostly, a BIG Thank You to all the Ed's who do a fabulous job running this site. A big selfless act indeed!
Overall, I think we did fine in this transfer window. As Ed002 pointed out in one of his earlier replies, AOC was a strange one, but having said that our recruitment policy has been significantly better since the bespectacled naughty charmer took over, so we will have to wait and watch. On that note, I wanted to get the thoughts of the Ed's and fellow posters on using Ox purely on the wings? I know he would like to play CM, but I think he possesses all the qualities to play on the wings and might infact do pretty well there (one of the front 3) - pace, strength, directness, and decent dribbling/ crossing/ shooting abilities. I could be wrong, but get a feeling with our team setup for counter attacking, he could do well in that setup and score a few too and may I dare say, have an impact similar to Salah/ Mane. Do the Ed's and posters see this or do you guys think that he would be just average regardless of the position he plays?

{Ed025's Note - he is average for me abbasep, i dont think hes a bad player but my concern would be where does he fit in?, if mane or salah get injured i suppose hes a half decent stop gap but he has said he wanted game time and i just bcant see him getting it mate..

Rotation - he can play in pretty much all positions except GK, DM and CB.
He will get plenty of games, especially if we qualify out of our CL group in the top 3 positions.
I'm more concerned with our defense - I watched Lovren's "highlights" on YouTube last night to make myself feel better, not feeling better now lol.
Reckless sliding tackles, poor marking and he is sloooow.
But we need to support what we have and we will.
He was part of the squad that got us into the CL so let's get behind them.

Where Aoc is concerned I think if klopp can get the squad playing the same way no matter the starting 11 he will a manager who is going to rotate players quite a bit. We've already seen Salah not start the 2nd game of the season. When we have more players back rotation will be a thing we have to deal with. Hopefully it works out.

i agree. I think he's perfect for rotation with the way we play as either a winger or the side midfielder who gets up and back to support our fullbacks and wingers.
