After the sale of Coutinho, a healthy revenue and profits from our champions league campaign there is no doubt we mean business this year. Keita, Fabinho and hopefully Allison and Fekir. We will be a serious threat to City. Yep. I don't think money will be a problem (within reason of course. We're not City). I'm more than certain that we won't be selling any of Salah, Firminho or Mane to cover the cost.

While a new CB would be nice, I think back up for our front 3 is more important.
My priority list now is:
GK - oblak the best choice but pricey
Winger/versatile forward - not sure who, but someone in the mound of Martial that can rotate across the front 3
Creative mid - Fekir
CB - Alderweireld/Lenglet/ De Ligt etc.
Maybe the CB should be a priority over the creative mid, but it looks like we’re close with Fekir either way and I think he’ll be a great addition

Looks to be a wonderful buy. No tap dancin and 12 months of foreplay. Fookin brilliant. Who is next I wonder? Surely a top notch striker? Klopp doesn't really buy expert strikers but rather attacking midfielders. We haven't been linked with any strikers but have been linked with the likes of Fekir and Pulisic, nor even Salah and Firmino are/were pure strikers Didn't Klopp buy Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang & Robert Lewandowski for Dortmund? if he can find the equivalent for us I'd be happy!

the most important buy right now is a new goalkeeper closely followed by a CB and then a Creative midfielder. Seem to be making inroads with Fekir. I'd prefer Oblak over Allison. Can't see us buying a CB unless Matip or Lovren leave, Gomez will be moved to CB now I think with TAA establishing himself and Clyne returning from injury, I'd like another quality CB, but I think we need a new GK/Forward/AM more, so prefer funds spent on them.

Also the new fab buy we made is capable in defence too ! ? Yep, but I think he's been bought primarily as DM, as that's the position we have been struggling, especially with Can leaving. Handy to have someone who can play CB/RB also though in an emergency, he's supposed to be a beast in the air and very dominant, so will really help defending set pieces.

Good passer and boss at pens too. Nice to have another Brazilian for Bobby. Alison would be mint as well.

Fabinho hasn't played in defence for about 2 years. He was used at RB and LB for a while. But has made the DM position his own now.

Yep I know that the only time he has played for Brazil was at lb to my knowledge
Just saying he’s versatile ? Yeah he is. He's tall quick and can do it all. In pretty sure Klopp will never buy a specialist player. Just one that can fit in every where!
