Eds it seems Vidal is the latest link. can you shut this down before I start getting my hopes up please!

{Ed025's Note - highly unlikely i will say..

Bayern turned down an offer from an Italian club, plus he's 30 years old, so at the wrong end of his career.

Can we stop with this 30 nonsense please!

Vidal is absolutely quality and could still be for another 3-4 years.

Xabi alonso was class up until he chose to retire at 34/ 35
Ibrahimovic still did well in toughest league at 33
Would you turn down Ronaldo, messi? Suarez (forgetting his antics for a moment)?

Robben? Ribery? Modric?

3.) 09 Aug 2017 08:09:16
87red, I would never turn down Luka Modric. he is to me, the most complete CM in Europe.

Vidal'a style is combative and all action, his legs are going and it would be short sighted to spend a fortune on a player who has maybe one or two decent years left.

Hey eds, just wondering why you think Barcelona wouldn't go back in for Coutinho? Surely if we asked one more year of him and he had the season of his life they would go back in for him? If this is what's turning his head to go this year it's understandable. If I were Klopp I'd be telling him to play his heart out this season and he could have his pick! (Obviously want him to pick LFC)

{Ed002's Note - It is not a case of "turning his head" he has been courting them. They are looking for a replacement for Iniesta, and they are looking now.}

Afternoon Eds. just wondering if you guys could give us an opinion on who we may target (if any) for a replacement if Coutinho does go? Mahrez? Reus? Gotze? What's your thoughts?

First time post! Been on this site for years. addictive!

{Ed001's Note - Salah?}

1.) 08 Aug 2017 15:28:24
Move Firmino back to the attacking midfield position and hope for one of Origi/ Sturridge to start firing, alongside Mane and Salah. It'll strengthen our midfield further too with Firmino's pressing and work rate, not to mention his ability to thread passes through to the front line.

2.) 08 Aug 2017 15:29:57
So would you add any one Ed001, if Coutinho did leave. I. e. A Striker, CAM, CM or do you believe we should focus on defence as we have enough creativity and fire power? I think we do need to strengthen our defence but I think if Couts leaves we will be seriously missing something in our attack that will be hard to replace. Most goals scored from outside the box since he's been in the prem, that's hard to replace in tough games.

{Ed001's Note - I would add a midfielder, we will need to defo if Can does not sign a new contract.}

3.) 08 Aug 2017 15:36:24
Please not Ed001.

Salah is great but moving him deep like we intended to play coutinho in wouldn't make any sense this season.

{Ed001's Note - no, you are missing the point, Couts was our left winger, so we have already replaced him. If he stays that is different.}

4.) 08 Aug 2017 15:52:49
ED01

I thought Salah would be the ideal replacement for Couts, as he seems quite comfortable across the front 3.

If that happens, do you see us going back in for Brandt? Left footed left winger? Has he decided his future is elsewhere, or could he see Liverpool as an option if Couts were to leave, and we declared an interest in signing him?

{Ed001's Note - I would think nothing has changed for him, he was the one who was not keen to join us.}

5.) 08 Aug 2017 16:23:17
Brandt like Lallana and Ousmane Dembele, is two footed. He rejected us due to playing time so don't see why he would suddenly change his mind.

6.) 08 Aug 2017 16:41:44
Brandt/ Meyer.

7.) 08 Aug 2017 16:49:44
He was not keen because he would have been second choice to Coutinho.

Coutinho was then moved to the middle, where he is/ was expected to play this upcoming season and replaced by Salah on the left wing.

If, Countinho goes, and Salah plays in the middle, that leaves a gap on the left wing. If Brandt was brought in he would then be the first choice, left footed, left winger.

It is not hard to work out.

Meyer wants to go to Spurs.
