2 more transfers this summer and we are good to go
For me Bissouma in midfield although Neuhaus was my preferred option but that ship has sailed
Malen up front, lightning quick and knows where the net is
Both will add value to the team and both will have a substantial sell on value as per the FSG model.

I would be happy with that as well, but I would be happier I think with one signing if it was for a truly top player. A midfielder as good as VVD, Salah, Allison etc. Put the money into signing who Klopp thinks will be the best. Barello for me.

A MF as good as VVD, Alisson and Salah. his names is Thiago.

I am not getting into this debate again but let’s hope you are right LFC. Thiago needs to prove it on the pitch no matter who he is playing alongside.

i'd go for one more signing but one that is for the first team and not the squad and I'd go for a top class 20 goal a season striker that fits our formation and would replace Firminho in the first 11. If we sell Keita, OX and Grucic and have the money then go for the midfilder but we'd still have Fab, Henderson, Thiago, Jones, Milner, Shaq.

War machine, a midfield of Jones, Milner, Shaq would not win any games. Cold hard truth, we do need another midfielder as the lack of quality after Henderson and Fabinho as the starters is quite alarming.

Hence I’d buy one if ox, Keita. And Grujic were sold. We are heavily stacked with midfielders and can easily cover injuries. If Salah is injured who’s going to score the goals. A striker is more important imo and needs to be a starter not a squad player. If we have £50m to spend I’d buy a £50m striker not a £25m striker and a £25m midfielder.

I agree with you to a certain extent but a £50 million striker is not always better than a £25 million striker. Look at man utd, probably the most expensive team ever assembled and the likelihood is they're not going to do an awful lot. Sir Alf Ramsey once famously said I never play my best players but I always play my best team.

Thing is war machine, none of those players did adequately cover during our injury crisis last season, when both Henderson and Fabinho weren’t playing in midfield we looked as soft as sh*te, teams just played through us. Just imagine if we lost Fabinho and Henderson for any extended period. We’d be done for as none of the rest are remotely capable of playing a disciplined anchor role. And in Keita’s case he’s not remotely capable of playing with any competency whatsoever.

Agree with you Vx4 but I think we are at more risk if Salah gets injured re goal scoring as look at the scoring output from rest of the team. If edwards and Klopp can pull 2 hats out of the bag then fill the 2 positions. If it’s 1, I go for striker.

That’s why I’m disappointed we didn’t sign Daka, I think he’d be great signing in that respect and wouldn’t have broken the bank. You’re quite right that if we lose Salah we lose a huge amount of our goals.

Yves Bissouma (CM) interest pending klopps request to Premier League to switch to 5 a side during African nations.

Afcon would mean we miss Mané and Salah for 2 games max. The winter break overlaps it.
It’s not as much an issue as some think.
