Hi eds,

I guess Skrtl and Sakho are giving good performances oflate. What do you think are the chances of Lovren leaving the club this summer? If he is leaving, are we going to spend on another central defender?

Well said Ed001. I don't think we'll be buying anymore midfielders or defenders for quite a while - we are knee deep in them and an awful lot are going to have to be sold BEFORE we buy anymore

I honestly don't think we need to sign another CB this Summer. I hope and believe that Lovren will stay, as I think he can do a job at RCB and will eventually take over Skrtel's position. Then we have Sakho, who will be at LFC for a long time I reckon and deservedly so! And then we have Ilori and Wisdom returning from loans. I think if he keeps fit, Ilori can be a brilliant player for us. I'm not so certain about Wisdom, but I think he would fit in perfectly in this new system, so I'd love for him to get his chance. I'd rather give these players chances and invest in other areas of the team.

Totally agree with the above post.
Even if Can moves into midfield next year, and if we still play 3 at the back, and ignoring the fact that Toure may still be around, we would possibly still need 6 CB's.
You would have to think that Skrtel and Sakho will be nailed on (based on recent performances), with either Lovren or Wisdom filling the other spot and Illori and young Jones as back up.
If Brendan decides to revert back to a back 4 though I would think one or two would need to be moved on.

If we continue with 3 at the back then the strategy would be to carry six in the squad. With Toure expected to be released that leaves Can, Lovren, Skrtel, Sakho - and returning from loan Illori, and if he can play at CB Wisdom.

So if Can moves into MF, and Lovren did leave we'd have 4 which is very thin. That's why I can't understand why Ed001 keeps saying we are overstocked at the position.

Sorry - Andy but Lloyd Jones will probably never be good enough for the Premier League.

Hi eds,

Now that Sterling has not signed a new contract and we are looking for a center forward, what you do think are the chances of swapping Benzema and Sterling between Madrid and Liverpool this summer?

{Ed001's Note - low, very low.}

Do we have any interest in benzema? Would be a good signing if we can raise the money.
As for the swap rather take isco. I remember reading Madrid wanted to sell him too

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - right now, no, but I am sure there would be interest if we could sell some players to raise the funds.}

Do you rate the guy? I think he is a good striker but not a world class one. Rather try for lacazatte

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - Benzema is the best in the world at bringing others into the game, a perfect partner for any other forward. He is very similar to Giroud, but a lot better. Not the best goalscorer, but still an excellent striker. Lacazette is not interested in moving to us as things stand from what I have been told, so why even compare the two?}

Didn't know that about Lacazatte. We should have gone for him or bony in the summer hut alas hindsight is a wonderful thing.
I still don't think benzema would be the answe? WWould you be happy with him mate? I would rather go for someone cheaper and younger like vietto

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I would rather we got someone cheaper, but Benzema would be an improvement over the players we already have up front, other than Sturridge. He would also be a player I feel could partner Studger very well.}
