Only have to look at darmian to see how he'd do. They're very similar players.

I like that he's a young italian defender, it's just yet more attacking fullbacks in many ways. oh and versatile, can't forget that, as he can play right back. Not against it if klopp can get the best out of di sciglio but not going to be ecstatic if we signed him either.

I'm not saying we should sign amavi, but at the bare minimum we need stable cover for moreno, we might have that in milner and gomez, but that's not the manager addressing left back going forward.

I was sure de sciglio was or is primarily a right back. So do we want another right footed left back? After carra Johnson flanno Gomez why can't we just sign a proper left footed defender?

Are there many defensive left backs?

Daniele Padelli
Andrea Dossena
Alberto Aquilani
Fabio Borini
Mario Balotelli

Italians don't travel well especially in the English game. The likes of Fabrizio Ravanelli for Middlesbrough (1996-97), Gianfranco Zola for Chelsea (1996-2003), and Paulo Di Canio for Sheffield Wednesday, West Ham, and Charlton (1997-2004), all made an impact on our game and were successful, yet these three seem to be the exception to the rule.
Other Italians that have come and gone have been sent back to Serie A with their tails firmly between their legs, complaining of the pace and brutality of the English game.

No thanks on an Italian, we ALWAYS get our fingers burned!

not lfc news, but guardialo has signed what looks like a sterling replacement in jesus, a better finisher, could be a better player, and only 19 years old for 27 mil.

They have signed Sane as well so it doesn't look good for Sterling at the moment.

Pep will improve sterling over all game and improve him as a player ...

I hope we didn't put a buy back clause in when we sold Sterling ��

Well according to you, FSG won't go shopping at the Marks and Sparks like Man City so why would we try for Sterling?

Maybe Cech and Lavezzi though by the end of the week though eh?

I'd take sterling back.he was good for us and we would get him for half of what we sold him for.

He was poorly advised to go to city and his agent said it was rodgers who was the problem
