Quick teaser. We all agree we need additions to the squad but we also have players who can do a job. I will list positions and say who we have and who you realistically think we can get as an upgrade.
GK: migs - begovic
LB: lose Moreno and keep smith/ flanno.

Begovic, no thanks.

A Goalkeeper can Win you matches and Lose you matches unfortunately our current Keepers FORTE is the latter, we start every game with a one goal handicap sometimes more makes you wonder sometimes if far eastern syndicates are involved?

Moreno can't tackle or defend very well, seems to be scared of getting hurt and pulls out a lot, not all the time I must say. With his dribbling and ability to cross (he can cross but a little hit and miss) he plays more like a left winger.
Just an observation and opinion, I am NOT saying we should keep him and play as a left winger - so please don't take this out of context and I know many would like to see him go/ replaced.
I like the look of Brad Smith, crosses really well, can get up the wing well - defending is ok but will improve with experience.

I think germany is definately the go-to for goalkeepers right now. They seem to churn them out at an amazing rate, a bit of nifty scouting could see us find a true bargain, must be something to do with the coaching or philosophy because they have so many of a good standard.

Don't think it's just goalkeepers, they redesigned their youth structure a while back, and look at the plethora of players they have now.

Can he be coached does he have the right attitude are the questions I'd ask about Moreno
And Smith crosses well but who to aim at we have to many players looking for passes outside the box rather then in the mix.

Yes, Fencey. They learnt from the French and the Spanish that developing your youth from a technical and skill stand point was the way forward and like clock work, they are now dominating football the exact way France and Spain did. Another thing they did was they started including German born immigrants like Klose, Podolski, Gerald Asamoah and many other German born Turks like Ozil, Can and the lot, all that has benefited them like it did the French. As for Moreno and Mingo, their individual errors have cost us goals and points this season and I hope Klopp will move them on.

Moreno should go if he can be sold but who will buy him?
At LB we have Flanno, Smith and Gomez.

Not Gomez for me. He's not a CB and was already getting found out before his injury at LB.
