This Ben Davies deal could end up being a very smart bit of business I think. ALso indicates we have a big money move for a CB lined up for the summer as Davies will probably be a backup only. VVD, Gomez, Davies and a top quality first choice CB signing (Konate/ Diego Carlos) is good enough for me.

{Ed001's Note - or that Klopp still trusts in Matip?}

What's the point of keeping Matip though? He is brilliant when fit, but his injury problems are as bad as Keita's. There is no stability at the back when we keep chopping and changing our CBs time and again. It just makes sense to get someone with a better fitness record and build from there.

{Ed001's Note - I wasn't saying that, I was just saying that you were claiming it indicated something but that it was much more likely that it did not indicate any such thing.}

Aah ok. Poor choice of words from my end. My OP was more to do with what I would like to see happen in the summer.
The only way we should be keeping Matip is if he accepts a pay as you play deal. If not, might be very difficult to find a buyer anyways.

{Ed001's Note - if we can replace him, then I would defo offload him. It wouldn't matter if he was better than Beckenbauer and Maldini combined, his fitness issues make him a liability. The only reason to keep him is if they can be solved, which seems unlikely as they have been getting worse.}

Does klopp think we can pump cement into matip and all of a sudden he is solid? Bullcrap he can't be trusted .

Sadly Matip is made of glass, curly wurleys and lollipop sticks. Good player if they can swap the glass for titanium from Van Dyke DNA.

Curly Wurly's are very flexible and can be tough enough to brake, can we go with Crunchies as he unfortunately seems to crumble easily 🤣.
