We have shown in the past we can be pragmatic and move fast, as we did with Alisson last summer when we bought him late on after the pre-season friendlies started and Karius looked a liability, Roma also reduced his price, so we bought him.
Barca have just signed Griezmann for over £100 million, so I am sure Dembele & Coutinho will be pushed down the starting order, so I think they will be looking to move on as the front 3 will be Suarez/Messi/Griezmann, if Barca do a deal for Neymar, they will be right out the reckoning.
The PL clubs are one of the few with PSG & Juve who can pay the money Barca would want and the players the wages, so I can see a few last minute deals being done, LFC through the press have said a few times they don't plan a big signing, but if an opportunity occurs they could move, as they have done before.
We shouldn't wait for opportunities, that's my whole point, we have to go for 1 or 2 players who would improve our squad. Who could rotate with Mane if the latter is not fully fit or injured? Also don't think we can rely on Milner as LB should Robertson get injured. I am assuming here that Origi will be able to fit in Firmino's shoes and Brewster will have the same effect as young Owen. I agree, I would get in a quality forward line player who can play/cover for Mane/Firmino etc, I just don't see it happening, but I can see us doing a deal if the right opportunity arises, I think Klopp is taking a look at the pre-season performances and wants to bring in some of the players coming through, like Brewster & Wilson etc.

Just read this on BBC Sport and checked the website, not as clear cut as this sounds but where do they get this info from?! :-
Barcelona midfielder Philippe Coutinho, 27, has given his approval to a deal which would see him join former club Liverpool on a two-year loan deal with an option for the Reds to buy the Brazil international for £88m. (Calciomercato - in Italian)
