lots of talk about lack of signings but in truth where do people see weakness in the squad and in what areas can we make space for a signing?
forwards - salah, mane, firmino, origi, brewster, duncan
attacking midfielders - shaqiri, ox, lallana elliot (wilson/kent)
midfield - fabinho,henderson, gini, milner, keita
central defenders - Van Dijk, Gomez, Matip, Lovren, Philips, Berg
fullbacks - Trent, Robertson, Lewis, Hoever, Larouci, Clyne
Only in the fullback positions can i personally see signings made without moving at least some players on. It would also need to be a player happy to rotate in and out of games.
I personally think Dani Alves would be ideal for a season purely due to experience and how he could help Trent. He is on about 160k so that might be the issue (although free agent)

Dani Alves to sit on the bench and collect his retirement package?
Would rather let one of our youngsters be given a chance.

I can’t see Duncan getting first team action this year bar cups, nor Elliott. We are very lightweight once you get past Manè and Salah on the wings, particularly since Wilson is leaving. Lallana is unlikely to feature and will probably get injured in any event!

Personally I would sell both Kent and Wilson and sign a wide player that can play either side to replace them.

Hoever looking good down the right tonight.
{Ed047's Note - he does look quality for what, a 17yr old

Hoever looks very promising. Lallana might be useful if he manages to stay fit!

Ed047 you could say Hoever is cleaning up down that right hand side. He’s neat and tidy in everything he does 😂.
{Ed047's Note - Yes JK you could! 😂

Dani Alves makes no sense when you have Gomez and Hoever able to fill in for TAA. Not at those wages which he is going to demand.

LFC is not a retirement home. If Alves wants one on those wages, he can always ring up his BFF Pep at City.
