I've got them on my ones to watch at the World Cup, but alternatives for midfield are Johan Manzambi of Freiburg, Paul Wanner from PSV. Both young talented players. Also Richard Rios from Benfica. All great options for me. Let me know what you guys think.

I'd like a seasoned DM, mid-20s who has 'presence', can break up opposition attacks and is comfortable on the ball and can pick a pass. Ideally someone who is used to playing a pressing game and is not injury prone.
I like the idea of a couple of youngsters but, having watched our back 4 be exposed first the last couple of seasons, I want someone who has played at the highest levels and can add solidity to the team straight away.
Not sure who it might be, I only really watch Liverpool but hopefully the club is looking for someone along the lines above.

Moonona Stich would be a good DM match for your criteria, WDW.

The title winning version of Gravenburch pretty much ticks all those boxes, Wdw, the way he covered beyond the defence and broke the lines with a drop of the shoulder was superb.

Rios is 26 and fits your bill, Wdw.

I agree, No 8. Wdw has just described Gravenberch to a tee.
It's just baffling that Slot didn't keep him in that position last season. He was a revelation in the title winning campaign.

Gravenberch is dreadful. Whoever decided to give him a lucrative contract halfway through the season needs sacking, playing like he did when Klopp was there n he would've been out the door if Klopp had stayed.

The balance isn't right in our midfield, individually, though, Grav and Szob are good players. We just need someone to complement their games. I don't think Macca is that player, and Grav needs to find more consistency. Someone like Fabinho would help bring it together.
