According to Klopp we are done regarding incomings, at least first team players. I suppose some players will leave such as, Ings, Mignolet probably Origi. I would have liked we signed a top free kick taker as we don't have one since Coutinho left, would have liked a better CB but we have a world cup finalist now. My main worry is cover for Firmino, and hopefully Sturridge can play that part effectively. Thoughts?

I hope it is. A few fringe players can bring some money back in and it's been a great window.

Klopp's team is slowly coming together and every window he improves us with quality additions.

Brewster will get a chance and I'm not giving up on Sturridge yet. He's still a match winner when fit and we'll use him. Solanke/Ings etc.. for cup games.

Now we've got Shaq we can play him on the right, Salah down the middle - even Bobby as AM.

Another AM would've been nice but there's Ox to return and he'll probably give Lallana one more chance until he brings in a top AM next year with another CB.

Optimistic times for an exciting, youthful team. This is Klopp's Liverpool.

Just hoping it’s to smoke Lyon but I guess chances are we’re done buying

Sturridge will break down again, I have no faith in him even last season when he was on the bench he still picked up injuries somehow. I would rather that young guy Wilson, looks like a brilliant finisher. I think Brewster will get a chance aswell since he just signed that contract.

The main glaring issue was a goalkeeper and a top keeper has arrived after calls for one for the past 3 summer windows, every other signing is a bonus to me once we got Becker. It was our top priority so I am very happy about this window.

Wilson has gone on loan for the season to Derby, which surprised me as he looked the one most likely to step up to the first team, so I was still expecting us to sign an AM.

Sturridge has looked good in pre-season, but we have said all this before, hopefully he can remain fit enough to add cover when needed, but I think Klopp is looking at Brewster & Solanke to play more.

As long as we do not sell any first team players, we look good to go, I'm expecting a strong PL challenge with this squad.

That'll be in a years' time - not sooner. So I expect us to still sign Fekir now.

Wilson already gone on loan and Brewster won't be fit before Dec, so you can forget about those 2

In brief Fabinho replaced Can, Keita replaced Coutinho and Shaqiri replaced Ox. I would say an improvement to our midfield. Last season Lallana hardly played, so if he stays fit, it would be an addition.

I'm happier with this transfer window than I've been since our current owners arrived. I credit that to Klopp and I'm delighted to say the guy is growing on me more and more by the day. Mind you I said I'd judge him on what he wins for us, and on that score the jury is out. However he's doing well and I feel this could be the season he comes good on the winning front. We still need a couple of signings such as the outstanding replacement for Coutinho, a centre back and top striker, but this has been a very good window, well done Klopp and back room staff.
