KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Which 3 players do you build your team around.

I'd agree to that.

Hard to start off by making whole sale changes from where we are at.

Better try and get a few top players in and then get the spin off that!

Yeah just hard to see where those top players are going to come from, I still think Firmino can be a top player, just because he's not a top player for us, doesn't mean he couldn't be a top player in another system, as he was in the Bundesliga.

We'll definitely be looking in need of top liverpool players now Sturridge has been possibly been made available for transfer. Could do with the funds though, to help us get in another top quality player, but they don't come much easier/better than Sturridge for the price, and the energy, and ability he brings to the table. Kevin Volland, perhaps comes closet in terms of being a bargain.

I think it will have to be the Klopp draw factor that takes the first top quality players to Liverpool.

The club name itself is IMO no longer strong enough for that purpose as it stands.

If that means we need to go for players Klopp knows himself from before, then so be it. For example Götze, Lewandowski, Subotic and Blaszczykowski would all fit the bill - even though the latter might be a bit too old (turning 31 late this year).

I wouldn't say "spine, but the top 3 players we have now that should be regulars next season are:

Lovern
Clyn
Coutinho

Hendo would have been #1 before his incurable injury



I think Coutinho can be back to his best with players running in-front of him, it would gave him targets for through-balls and create good space for his shots

None of them. We have some decent squad players who could do a good job for us with the right support, but there isn't a single player at the moment who would be a great loss if we never saw them again. They are all VERY dispensable. And considering the amount of money that our last manager spent, that is an absolute disgrace.

If he's the future of LFC, we're well and truly screwed!!!

Didn't say he was 'the future', only part of it. We can't afford to waste two 25 mil + players, only one at most. bob and ben are recent signings really, letting go of new signings is never something a club wants to be seen doing.

Tell me how it's firmino fault that liverpool haven't got any real quality goalscoring forwards currently, other than the injured sturridge. I don't know how you can judge firmino, when as Ambitious has been saying, it's an average team overall, I think due to it not having a setup that works consistency, reliable goalscorers. Despite all this with a bit more luck, Firmino could of had 3 or 4 goals quite easily in 11 PL appearances, and his ratings don't exactly suggest he's playing poorly, which is exactly what I think whenever I watch him. And an average 2.2 tackles per game PL game shows he's trying hard to win the ball. There isn't more much you can ask of him given the circumstances.

This summer klopp shud sign and build the team round ie

Stegen or horn
Howedes
Bender
Lacazette

Quality spine

Completely developing a team around all new players isn't really the definition of 'building a team' an orthodox way because it's hard to know what you are exactly getting/building it around, not to say it couldn't work. What shape/setup?
