From what i can work out the players we are interested in are:

Chilwell
Hector
Karius
Zielinski
Gotze
Silva

I have never seen any of those players play but i guess any addition at goalkeeper and left back is welcome. Zielinski and silva seem slightly unneccasary unles we get rid of a lot of players. Hector is apparently more defensive minded which is exactly what we need. I was still hoping for perhaps a holding mid to push Can and Henderson more but maybe Grujic is that player. However i fail to see the point of chilwell as he is just another joe gomez surely? And personally i like joe gomez so i'd much rather see him or smith given a chance.

The outs that everybody can virtually agree on are:

Mignolet
Moreno
Skrtel
Lallana
Milner
Benteke
Balotelli
Allen
Alberto
And all the academy players who will be moving on.

If all that happens i'd consider it a very successful summer and cannot wait for next season with a squad of klopps own players.

Lallana will stay, Klopp said as much the other day. I can't see Milner moving on either on his wages and the sort of club he'd want to go to.

Agree17 Disagree15

20 May 2016 18:54:38
Joe Gomez is a cb not a lb Rodgers just stuck him there like he did Flanagan. I really like Gomez he's got a lot of promise, good with the ball at his feet, is comfortable with a challenge and not bad in the air. just hope he comes back from injury well.

Agree11 Disagree14

20 May 2016 18:54:50
Milner's leading our assists table. I'd keep him on the condition that he's usually played on the right of midfield rather than in the middle.

Agree10 Disagree15

20 May 2016 19:07:00
AW, Migs not be moving, neither will Milner. Lallana, I think, may make way for Goetze, but not necessarily. I think illori will move on too.

Agree4 Disagree14

20 May 2016 19:53:12
Aren't we also interested/ linked with another midfielder? Dhroud is it?

Agree1 Disagree14

20 May 2016 19:58:53
Perhaps Goetze will replace Coutinho? Barcelona have been looking recently and something was said earlier in the year, about him wanting to move on if there is no champions league football at Liverpool.

It wouldn't surprise me if a decent offer came in for him at least. We're not in a position where we can reject the advances of clubs like Barcelona, we haven't got the finances and we don't have any European competition next season.

One thing is for sure, Coutinho will not sell cheap, so if he does leave we'll at least get a tidy sum for him.

Agree1 Disagree17

20 May 2016 20:44:40
I don't think Goetze and Coutinho are related at all. I would aso be not so sure either of Hector or Silva are coming in. While Liverpool has scouted both players, we have not made any effort to move for them, and are concentrating on bringing in Zielinski, Chilwell, Karius and seemingly Goetze.

Agree2 Disagree14

20 May 2016 21:36:46
Mignolet has a 5yr contract.
He will not be leaving unless some fool offers us more than his contract is worth.

Agree5 Disagree14

20 May 2016 22:09:24
im sure whoever klopp buys will be the right player for the team, he knows what he needs to do after this season so i will put my faith in him to get it right instead of trying to second guess him, if he brings these players in then he needs them yes we have other players in the team already but he might not see a future for them because unlike us he sees them every day and knows there weaknesess, like lallana for instance he is a good player but there's hardley any end product from him and i don't think he is at the right standard for us maybe Zielinski will have a better end product because these 2 are very a like, also the players he is buying he is getting them cheap not like BR who over spent on players, its so refreshing that he is getting players this cheap for a change,

Agree1 Disagree12

20 May 2016 23:47:07
Great insight despite having never seen any of them play.

Agree2 Disagree10

21 May 2016 01:11:06
I don't agree Lallana and Milner should go. 2 of our most consistent performers under Klopp. Allen could do a job as a squad player. Moreno - has still (some) time to learn how to defend. Not sure he will though!

Agree3 Disagree13

21 May 2016 07:00:34
AndyM, lalana should go if Gotze replace him. Milner can go if we get Zielinski.

Agree1 Disagree12

21 May 2016 14:52:38
Andym that mean no one significant leaving and based on that no one coming in. Simple tranfer window.

Agree0 Disagree4

22 May 2016 00:45:17
Skrtel, Benteke and Allen, if he moves, all significant 'Outs'. I don't see CM as a priority for strengthening. Matip and Grujic both significant 'Ins' already done. A GK and Lb needed (Lb whether Moreno stays or goes) . I hope for a lot from Ings next season.

Agree1 Disagree3

20 May 2016 07:56:53
With apparent interest in dahoud now, plus goetze interest? Grujic signed and zielinski a possibility as well, surely midfield will
Be well and truly stocked up. Who do the eds see as possible departures in this area? Also can the eds share any light on the hector interest are we still interested or has that gone now?

Believable1 Unbelievable14

{Ed001's Note - there is set to be a major clearout in midfield, no one is safe. Hector interest is still there, lb is the main priority.}

20 May 2016 08:21:39
So we could be buying a lot of players this summer and selling even more?

Agree3 Disagree15

{Ed001's Note - I expect a lot of movement in and out, yes. We need a major overhaul, particularly outs though.}

20 May 2016 08:45:05
Eds as you say Lb is a priority but do you see Chilwell as ready to come in and play there week in week out? Could we well sign 2 Lb's?

Agree2 Disagree13

{Ed001's Note - I remain to be convinced from what I have seen, but the scouts will have seen a lot more of him than I have. We just have to hope, that if it is just him coming in, that he is capable of playing every week. I do think there is a chance of two coming in though.}

20 May 2016 08:56:39
Any Midfielder we are trying to get in except for Peter? Since Volland has signed for Leverkusan, who else is the priority now ed?

Agree1 Disagree13

{Ed001's Note - I never said Volland was a priority, I gave him as an example when someone said we were not looking at wingers to show they were wrong.}

20 May 2016 10:14:44
I would hope Emre Can is safe. :)

Agree11 Disagree16

20 May 2016 10:02:49
Still amazes me when people nitpick the edd, these dudes are giving us this proven reliable info for free. This is a tame example but i was moved to reply anyway just to thank the eds. Cheers guys.

Agree8 Disagree13

{Ed001's Note - cheers mate.}

20 May 2016 10:21:28
Apparently Koln are bringing in a new LB so perhaps Hector will be leaving.
Out of the choice of Chillwell (a young prospect) or an international player I would have to go with Hector, at 6' 1" he looks a proper defensive LB, something we have not had in a very long time (Joe Gomez' brief spell there aside) .

Agree1 Disagree13

{Ed001's Note - they do expect to lose Hector. The only question is to who.}

20 May 2016 13:16:04
Only time I've seen Hector was in his international appearance vs England, wasn't that impressed.

Agree5 Disagree11

20 May 2016 15:14:34
Haven't been impressed with most of our incomings tbh.

Agree0 Disagree13

20 May 2016 09:00:32
Oh cheers Ed. any other particular Wingers we scouted heavily? And Midfielder too?

Agree0 Disagree10

{Ed002's Note - You need to read the posts and use the search engine.}

20 May 2016 09:54:42
Eds, with noone in midfield being safe, do you believe that we have several midfield targets (the ones mentioned in the original post) having deals either in place or under discussion? Do you also think that he do could be up for the chop?

Agree0 Disagree10

{Ed002's Note - I don't think there are any plans for Lucas to leave right now and with Henderson, Can, Lucas, Milner, Stewart, Allen, Brannagan, Rossiter and Chrivella all playing in an area (where only two would typically start) and Grujic arriving I am not sure it will be the priority area where the club will look to make changes in the summer. I do however think that Allen may well leave and Rossiter has gone. If Lucas were also to leave and a decision made not to promote any of the youngsters then perhaps the club would look to this as more of a priority.}

20 May 2016 10:00:46
Ed1, would you mind giving your opinion on who in our midfield is likely to stay (if anyone)? I would have hoped Henderson and Can stayed but if no one is safe that truly is a massive position to be completely changing.

Agree0 Disagree8

{Ed002's Note - I don't think there are any plans for Lucas to leave right now and with Grujuc, Henderson, Can, Milner, Stewart, Allen, Brannagan and Chrivella the club will need to make changes in the summer if there are any further additions. Allen could move on as there is interest in him.}

20 May 2016 11:36:07
Ed do we stand a good chance of getting Hector or have we been more focused on Chilwell? Also i take it Klopp sees Gomez as a centre half but because of his age he will be down the peckinh order?

Agree0 Disagree10

{Ed002's Note - I am not going to get in to saying iof something is a "good chance". I suspect Joe Gomez will be on the fringes at best.}

20 May 2016 16:44:09
Who else is nterested in hector apart from ourselves. Thanks eds.

Agree0 Disagree10

{Ed002's Note - Right now I am not aware of any other interest.}

20 May 2016 19:52:38
I know people might disagree, but I think Henderson should be sold too. His best season was playing right side in midfield 3. If I remember right, Kenny tried playing him in double pivot, Rodgers and Klopp this year, he did not impress at any of those times. With Klopp preferring double pivot, be best to get put someone that excels in that role alongside Can, whether it's Grujic, Brannagan or buying someone.

Agree2 Disagree11

19 May 2016 22:43:51
Eds are we pursuing Dahoud at all?

Believable2 Unbelievable10

{Ed001's Note - I am not sure what pursuing actually means. There is interest, not aware of any active attempts to sign him yet though.}

20 May 2016 13:16:28
It involves a large net.
