Yes the players we got off them have improved but their not world class with maybe the exception of Mane who has been sublime this season and shocked a lot of people. We need steel and blood and leadership in defense. Someone who can organize the whole backline. If you look back on what Liverpool always had was always great CB's, Hansen & lawrenson , Hughes , Hyypia and carragher. I feel thats missing from our team today.

So if it's not van Dyke then who is it according to you? Matip is top class, so we just need one good CB added to the squad. With Sakho clearly on the way out I can't see us not replacing him with a top defender in January. Last edited by van Gogh; 11/12/16 08:03 PM.

He's very good though and yes, it's bloody Southampton again, but if he's good enough I don't care where they come from. I suppose it more depends on who's available in January too?

We've been there before with players like Sanches who didn't want Liverpool but London. Maybe Klopp can find another player earning his trade in Germany? Niklas Sule at Hoffenheim seems to be highly rated. On Van Dijk, he was very good against us when we drew 0-0 with Southampton not so long ago. I know 3 Southampton season ticket holders who think he is top drawer and good enough to be playing for Barca or Real Madrid, they could be over-exaggerating of course.

With Sakho clearly on the way out I can't see us not replacing him with a top defender in January. We've tried the Southampton thing before and it hasnt really worked. We are looking to buy a player who is with a team whos 9/10/11 in the league and expect him to solve the defensive crisis. Matip will be excellent for us when he has a run of games for us but who hes partnered with needs to be someone of the same caliber. I think 20 million for a defender shouldnt be frowned upon because they are just as important as forwards. We need to look elsewhere outside the PL and have a list of strong CB's who we possibly could sign.
