The best news this summer for me would be ilori taking over from skrtel and mignolet getting replaced.
That and nothing more and target next summer for a syriket as I don't believe we will struggle as much of we can sort that defence and gk out.

I don't think replacing mignolet is important right now I know he had a bad start to the season but the last 3-4 months he was fantastic stop chopping and changing formations and players in the defence and it will be A lot better

Behave.
Where does the experience come from then?
I rate Llori, but after one good game then everyone is raving about him.
I'm not directing anything at you mate, but the fickleness on these pages are disturbing.
Cup games are a good start for him to adjust to the physicality of the game, but to start him in the league is dangerous.
He'll be a little green and needs nurturing to the demands of the Premier League.
Needs chances though and especially alongside Skrtle (who regardless of talent is the most experienced centre back we have).
23 Jun 2015 21:00:08
I would say Toure is more experienced than Skrtle. Skrtle should be sold, in both Sahko and Lovren we have two centre backs experienced enough to play alongside Ilori.
Why have Skrtle play with Ilori?
23 Jun 2015 21:42:06
What's a syrikit? Is it a Syrian national football kit?
23 Jun 2015 21:46:41
I don't get the Toure contract. Only makes sense if we were selling Skrtel to me. Surely Lovren, Sakho & Toure is enough experience and we can just use Ilori & Wisdom. If we ain't selling Skrtel then why do we need Toure? As a foursome last season it was hardly the dream team. I can only presume Ilori's injury history is the worry. If Skrtel gets his contract all this Ilori will be given his chance pre season rings hollow. Would we have 5 senior CBs in the squad? Doubt it.
23 Jun 2015 21:30:16
Totally agree mate. People are raving about Ilori when he's had a couple of decent games. Don't get me wrong, I hope he gets a chance but its not as if he's Thuram or anything.
23 Jun 2015 22:16:42
Davey.
Lovren alongside ilori.
It I got my wish
Cech
Wisdom/manquillo
Ilori
Lovren
Moreno
Lucas (in front of them)
Ilori is completely inexperienced but we've had him for 2 years, he's doing alright in the u21 team and so is Carvalho and I'm.sure people would wet themselves if wr signed him.
Ilori has the.Potential to make him and lovren the next best lpool centre half's.
I'll ask you one question and answer truthfully_ can lovren and ilori be really more worse than lovren & Skrtel!
23 Jun 2015 22:44:41
Fickle, people have been calling for ilori to get a chance for two seasons mate. Its not about two good games, he was bought for 7m for a reason because he obviously has talent. I suspect much like ibe, sterling etc if he wad given a chance to prove himself we might have saved a fortune we spent on lovren.
No one is saying he is thuram or the next messiah, just give him some chances and see if the fee we paid was justified or not.
Fickle, some people need to step out their glass houses.

People aren't ' raving' about llori. They're just confused as to why we've bought an 18 year old promising centreback as well as giving one of our worst defenders an extended contract ( skrtl) we paid 7 mil for illori yet he has been deemed unworthy of a single minute in a game for Liverpool so about how about we make the most of what he has to offer before buying more players for his position. It's not like we had solid centrebacks last year that were insurmountable due to form. He couldn't do any worse than what we had for most the season . Good as can was for a couple of games( before he was blatantly targeted as a weak link) he should have been gaining experience as a midfielder and illori doing the same as a centreback.
24 Jun 2015 05:22:55
Davey Bootle, why would you play Ilori anywhere near our worst CB in Skrtel? He will simply make Ilori look pants just like he makes all our CB's look like pants. Ilori/Sakho for mine.
24 Jun 2015 05:40:12
Skrtels agent is in Istabul. I expect him to leave.
24 Jun 2015 07:47:17
Considering Toure looked well past his best 2 seasons ago and Skrtel is clearly declining I have to agree with the idea of both being odd. But then neither Lovren nor Sakho would be the main man in a top 4 side defence either. Have to agree about Illori, he's not a teenager and surely he's at the point where we need to start putting him our regularly or move him on. Same with Wisdom. Comparable/better sides are fielding players of similar age and Moreno/Coutinho/Sterling are also similar age and being trusted to play regularly.
