KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Would you take Ryan Fraser?

Agreed.

And when they finally are fit and ready we will have too many players to accomodate for in the first team squad.

I don't think we need Ryan Fraser.

We have a lot of players like him and I'd rather just pick a youngster to take a place on the bench rather than Fraser.

Lallana and Shaq can barely get a game. I'd rather use Elliot or Jones.

It's ok to play a kid in one off games but to have to rely on them for a sustained period of time, I'd not be comfortable with. Watching the Aston Villa & Shrewsbury games showed how physically, they are easily out muscled.

It does look like Shaqiri will be sold in the summer and Lallana will likely be released so we will have some gaps in the senior squad. Ryan Fraser has plenty of premier league experience and he also got some impressive assist stats last season - 18/19 he had 14 assists only 1 behind the top assists Eden Hazard who got 15.

At a time when Premier League clubs will be scrambling to add more homegrown talent to their ranks with likely restrictions on foreign players because of Brexit, Fraser is a no-brainer on a free.

we dont need Fraser but i would love to see us go for Harvey Barnes.

Not a bad shout that one. He is one of half a dozen or so young players at Leicester all 22/23 who could turn them into a regular top 4 side. We have a few in that bracket too and a couple a lot younger who look like they might be very special.

I don't understand where they're all gonna play.

We are supposedly interested in either Werner or Sancho (one likely, Sancho very unlikely)

Even if we get rid of Lallana and Shaq we still have several others who can barely get a game.

Origi Minamino Elliot Jones will all be wanting more games.

Ox can play anywhere these days as can Wijnaldum. I think Fraser would just block the path of the younger ones

It looks like Lallana will leave, Wij and Shaq may leave also, the likes of Milner will play less games, with all the games we play we need good cover, as we have seen this season.

I don't know what will happen with Wilson & Grujic, I can see Wilson being sold if we get a decent bid, which I can see as he has scored 7 goals so far in 21 PL games this season, which at a team like Bournemouth is a very good return from MF, that's 1 in 3, allot of PL strikers don't get that good a return. I could see him moving to somewhere like Leicester or Tottenham for £25-30 million. I can see Grujic staying, as he fits into our workman like MF better than a flair player like Wilson.

Why the hell would we buy Fraser or Barnes when we have Jones, Eliot, Grujic, Wilson, and others?

Possibly because Fraser is free. He is a high energy player. Signing him and getting money in for Wilson or Shaqiri is a no brainer in the same way signing Shaqiri for £13m was good business.

The first XI is picking itself again it seems and they have done well between them avoiding injuries and suspensions. Anybody breaking in and holding a place down in this team must be a fantastic player.

The back up plan to losing Wij, Milner, Henderson in the next 3 or 4 years has to start taking shape now. All the players you mentioned will have a say at some point.
