Apparently the club has confirmed Sakho will wear No 3 shirt which means he stays.
With Klavan coming in, All three of Ilori, Wisdom and Lucas is off clearly.

Why is Lucas clearly off? He's a central midfield player.

18 Jul 2016 14:00:10
With the amount of midfielders we have I think his only hope was as a rotating cb/ cdm which is what Harry is getting at and the squad needs to be trimmed somewhere.

18 Jul 2016 13:55:12
Can, Hendo, Grujic, Milner, Wijnaldum, Brannagan, Stewart and we play only 2 in the middle most of the time.

18 Jul 2016 14:57:56
Not being negative towards the lads but Lucas is ahead of Brannaghan and Stewart. Milner plays out wide more than he does cm.
Lucas has looked very sharp during pre season to be fair (I've watched 2 live) . Never mind the level of the opposition, he clearly has stepped his game up.
And probably due to lack of strikers more than anything but we have been setting up with a clear 4-3-3 formation. Don't see klopp working on a formation for no reason.

Wijnaldum, have I missed that confirmation?

18 Jul 2016 15:11:13
Apparently he's offered to sign all of the new season shirts already purchased with the no.17 on as a gesture to apologise to all of the fans who bought the shirt, might be simple but shows he cares about the club and the fans, got to love him he's a top class fella.

I'd imagine Wijnaldum would play in the 3 behind the striker, no?

18 Jul 2016 15:29:21
GW is not yet a LFC player and you are already mentioning him. There is no confirmed interest in the first place. Whatever you feel or read from the tabloid becomes news. The lad is useless and I'm sure Klopp is well aware of that. GW and Sissoko are not confirmed targets.

18 Jul 2016 18:13:38
Yes ginger, and that's the problem we don't need another player that plays the 3 behind the striker. A mistake Harry has made I think is that wijnaldum actually doesn't play in the central midfield role like the like of hendo, can, Stewart etc so he would actually be competing with coutinho, firmino, mane, Milner, lallana, ojo, marko. We are far too overstocked even if marko was to leave or ojo on loan or something. I just don't see any signs of lallana or Milner leaving so it makes no sense unless at least 2 players leave.

As for midfield, it is a position we are in bed of more quality. I'm talking about central midfield. With the likes of Allen and Lucas mooted to leave, Brannagan, Stewart largely untested at the highest level, grujic, hendo and can seem to be our first choice midfielders. So if we persist with using the youngster for the midfield, why not in the more forward positions and centre back?

I hope GW doesn't happen even though I think he's a decent player, it just makes the transfer window even more senseless. We need a central midfielder and left back that is all. Use that money for that.

GW is getting a lot of stick on here, while at PSV a lot of teams were after humour off by an injury, not being the kind of person who lives by stats but his for last year speak for themselves. Probably better than those for most of our midfielders last season. I think he's a good buy but my concern would be where he fits in. We've paid 30 odd for mane, United are looking at 100 for pogba, we got 15 for ibe. This season prices are all inflated, Newcastle rightly so want their share.

18 Jul 2016 19:57:47
If Wijnaldum signs I hope he is played at left back. Left back at Melwood.

18 Jul 2016 21:41:37
Why are people including GW in our list of midfield players. He plays for Newcastle!

19 Jul 2016 18:50:23
Two thoughts, one Lucas, as he gets older, isn't going to suddenly discover the extra yard of pace he lacks that means he ends up committing fouls in danger areas and two the likes of Brannaghan are going to remain untested at the highest level until we have a squad that means they get some games. But, if we're going to let Lucas go then it would make sense if it was actually because we have a direct replacement for him.
