KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Who should we be targetting?

Liverpool will have been scouring the leagues for prime targets since a miserable January window, and a constructive, if unfulfilling, summer transfer window. Unfulfilling, because having targeted Dahoud, Zielinski amongst a series of young promising players, the club failed to sign enough players to compete on all fronts this year. Now, we have pressure on the club to rectify that.

Depending on where you pin your expectations, you will either believe this window will provide Klopp with a decent kitty, or a monstrously explosive one. I've tried to restrict the options to five per position, listing players from prime targets to young potential. Time to speculate to accumulate. Who should we be targeting? Who isn't up to scratch of the options I listed? Who should be on the list?

You missed off Joe Hart on the GK list.


I would sign Schmeichel, Keane and Drinkwater.

Just to annoy the Man Utd support.

I also think we need more aggressive players.

So I would take Jsmie Vardy upfront. And carvalho.

That's a good list, but I really hope there are other options. There aren't many improvements in that list. I'd want us to aim a bit higher.

A new keeper is a must. If only to mentor Karius.
Ryan Sessegnon is a must. Loan him back to Fulham.

Valdes
Sessegnon
Tah/van dijk
Keita
Werner.

That would be a decent start.

I don't want Man Utd rejects. No one should. We aren't Sunderland or Everton

Not even Javier Hernandez?

The only player I'd want from Utd is luke shaw. And that's only because we need a left back

Luke Shaw?

He is pure cáck, mate! Even worse than Moreno in the defensive department!

I wouldn't mind us getting De Gea, looks like he's off to Real Madrid.

If that happens then Schmichel will be replacing him at United

I heard we're going for Van Dijk and Bertrand. That might be quite a good group in defence. those two plus Lovren, Matip and Clyne. Should be able to coach a better defence... esp if Migs keeps up his new level.

I suggest we then want a top attacking player to replace Strurridge and share the load with Mane et al. And also because Coutinho deserves to play with much better players around him.
