Bit out of left field but do you think that if Brighton sign Fati (at the time of writing they are in poke position) that possibly Mitoma could be signed by Liverpool?

Probably no chance but I thought I'd ask.

Many thanks ?.

To play DM or LCB?

how would you describe being in poke position?

is it like the thousand years of pain move in Naruto?

Personally I think the chances of Brighton signing Fati are slim.

My bad, no poking required lol. Was meant to say pole position) . Looks like they are in for grabenberch but don’t seem to be any real links to another DM or a LCB. Maybe dacoure, maybe hincape are possibilities.

I was actually thinking that if salah does go would mitoma be an attacking quality option. Not as a replacement as salah is unique but still an exciting player to add to the attack.

{Ed002's Note - Mitoma is a LW and Liverpool do not need such a player - nor do they have any interest.}

I could see a last minute move for Mitoma if it looks like Salah is going. I know he plays on the left for Brighton but he could move to the right or we could switch Diaz to the right to accommodate him. We switched Mane from right to left when Salah arrived and that didn’t work out too bad.

If Salah stays, which I fully expect he will, I see no need for Mitoma as much as I do rate him.

Razor he's in Brighton atm for talks.

OP, we have no room for Mitoma and the forward line is not the issue here. We have a couple of gaps to fill elsewhere which are more important.

Razor, what did you think of GGR's reply to your post? Whooosh!

No interest at the moment Ed but if Salah expressed a wish to leave Mitoma could become an option.

The rumour was we’d look to Felix to replace Salah and that’s not like for like either. I’d prefer Mitoma to Felix any day of the week.

{Ed077's Note - why not go for a right sided player though?}

Salah will leave next summer.

Which right sided attacker would anyone go for if Salah were to leave? Seems a glut of left sided players but not right.

(Not a call for negative FSG out type posts, but for actual suggestions of potential replacements)

You can never have too many right footed left wingers ……

Perhaps, with the inverted right back and Salah leaving at the end of the season we just field a left sided team next season? Saves us the fuss of having to cover the right side of the pitch.

I played right wing for the best part of 15 years Ed but had spells on the left wing and even at centre forward and number 8. We have a habit of pidgeon holing players into one position but Mitoma is a real talent and could be played anywhere across the front line.

{Ed077's Note - if you say so. But we also have a habit of trying to for a square peg in a round hole.}

In answer to Quo Vadis question - Szobszlai could play in place of Salah as he's a right sided midfielder? Spend the Salah fee elsewhere (if we had to) .

Saka would be the dream replacement for Salah. No chance tho. Maybe Bowen could be a good replacement on the right.
