Hi eds, with keita looking unlikely could Leon goretzka be an option now?

{Ed002's Note - Leon Goretzka was of interest to Southampton but Schalke said they had intention of selling in the short-term but he has been reluctant to listen to offers of a new contract and they are now willing to listen to offers. Juventus are struggling to get their first choice option in midfield for this summer and are thought that they may be returning to Leon Goretzka - but have not made approaches to his club or agent. Arsenal might well look to him if they cannot get their preferred target. Spurs, Manchester City and Bayern Munich are also looking to Goretzka as a possible option. If Liverpool are unable to sign their first choice it is possible that they could also look to Goretzka.}

Lets hope so as he is a young physical specimen which we need in the center of the park. At 6'2" he won't be bullied there. Technically gifted box to box player scoring 8 goals from there last season. A cheaper option to Keita. All Klopp needs to do is now make this happen and walk away from VVD and move for Tah instead. It would free up more funds for maybe a world class goalkeeper?

24 Jul 2017 11:04:51
Tah had a really bad season mate, not sure he is the answer.

24 Jul 2017 11:17:31
I would gladly take Tah and Leno of Leverkusen hands I believe they would be a big improvement on two problematic areas we clearly have after yet another season of not addressing the problems last season. Both would cost less than the price being mentioned for VVD. I'm not convinced VVD is the right person for us. His concentration wonders most games. At least in Tah we would have a young strong tall defender with a lot of promise who is highly regarded in his homeland. To be capped for Germany at 21 should say it all. I feel he will compliment Matip well.

24 Jul 2017 11:22:13
Turning our back on vvd would be pretty nasty at this point I feel. I wonder who's idea it was that he should tell Southampton he won't play for them? Agent? Someone at pool? We need to stick to this one.

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool has publicly withdrawn all interest in the player. They have not withdrawn that statement.}

24 Jul 2017 12:24:41
At 70m he should be the worlds best in his position but he's not even close to being the best in the division. He doesn't offer anywhere near value for money. Southampton obviously put a residuals price tag on him to scare away the wolves circling around. But for some mad reason Liverpool took the bait. Back away maybe with your tail between your legs but 70m in the bank is the best result. If it goes through at 70m other teams will be rubbing there hands at the opportunity of getting many more millions out of us than the players are worth. It set the benchmark for others to deal wit us.

24 Jul 2017 12:57:07
What is the obsession with getting another MF player, yes I would have liked to get keita but we have plenty of youngsters who can shine instead, grujic should be pushing for a start IMO.

24 Jul 2017 13:28:33
Eds, is Juve's 1st choice Can? Or completely unrelated?

{Ed002's Note - No it wasn't, but others are not available and they are going down their list.}

24 Jul 2017 13:45:06
Am I the only fan who can't see the value of Grujic just yet, at the moment he reminds me very much of a Jonjo Shelvey type player, has some vision but can't tackle, isn't the quickest and his positional sense isn't great.
I know he's still young but I think he's far from being a reliable first team player for a while, if at all.

24 Jul 2017 14:41:51
I like Goretzka. Very good player with a bright future.

However, would he be an improvement on Emre? I'm not sure.

Would he provide a skill set we don't already have in midfield? Again, I'm not sure. Keita is very fast and would add a lot of energy and ability to the middle.

Goretzka I think is too similar to what we have in terms of style.

24 Jul 2017 14:42:03
I agree Trevor, not the finished article but for league cup, etc, can prove himself. Shows enough to be hopeful of first team in the future though. Looks cleverer than JJ.

24 Jul 2017 14:44:04
So Treverpool you have basically watched him in 2-3 games, give him a bloody chance man. I for one hope he gets the game time he needs he will surprise a few.

24 Jul 2017 15:13:31
I've not based my opinion of Grujic on these pre season games however the pre season games have confirmed to me that at the moment he's over hyped by some fans which isn't really fair on the lad.

24 Jul 2017 15:20:43
Leon goretzka is better than emre can and grujic together.

24 Jul 2017 17:28:14
Fifa stats are not gospel.

24 Jul 2017 17:46:58
Grujic might turn out to be just OK, or could turn out to be our version of Dele Alli - we won't know until we play him. I think he deserves a chance to prove himself on rotation or in cup games, and while we have Hendo, Can, Wiji, Llalana and Coutinho in midfield, we have enough cover if he doesn't quite make the step up this season.

24 Jul 2017 18:34:07
For me grujic is more of a goal threat than our other cm at the moment, he has shown great attacking position in the few minutes he's played so far, very promising player just hope he gets a consistent run of games to prove it.

24 Jul 2017 22:28:28
Trevor you don't want to put pressure on him but you don't want to compare him with Shelvey either. He's nothing like him at all. Shelvey was all ill disciplined aggression and attempted Hollywood passes. For me Grujic has shown much more game intelligence already.

24 Jul 2017 22:28:58
So Ed001 who would you like Klopp to bring in as a realistic fantasy football type scenario?

Which CB would you like to see in Liverpool's starting line up?

Which CM would you like to see?

And which forward would you like to see if any at all?

Personally I also feel the GK position needs attending to so let's throw that one in as well?

Please give reasons why you have picked the players you have and feel free to add any other positions you feel need strengthening .

{Ed001's Note - I really don't have the time nor inclination to get into fantasy football chat at the moment sorry.}

25 Jul 2017 13:53:03
I think it's pretty clear that van dyke could become best cb in the world. Better than stones easy. Good solid header of the ball while stones is doing a cruff turn in the six yard box van dyke clears with a strong pass straight into feet of midfield. Really hope we get him. For our sake and for his. Feel sorry for him, he should have been playing in Asia cup for us instead of being frozen out of s'Hampton.
