One interesting transfer could be Mario Götze, he recently announced he would be leaving Dortmund on a free this summer, Klopp knows him well and it has been reported we have been in for him before, I think he would be a great buy, he's had injuries, but if we can get him playing he'd be a great buy.
He has the creative and guile to open up teams and can get a goal. You know a freebie won’t cut it with the spend, spend, spend brigade. Unless we pay at least £60m for him then he’s rubbish and FSG a tight.

It worked out well with the likes of Milner & Matip, so worth considering, if we get him on the right contract he could be a good buy, he is still relatively young at 27, if we can keep him fit, he would be a great signing, even if it is just as an impact type sub, one thing our MF sometimes misses is that bit of skill/guile to open up a stubborn defence, so he would add that. Klopp knows him very well, so I would be happy to go with his judgement.

It worked with Milner but given his age, he wouldn't have cost a lot and no I dont think it worked with Matip if you look at how injury prone he is. VVD hardly missed a game if you want to compare

A player is free so must be dump. Bayern really took a chance on that feeebie Lewandowski all those years ago didn’t they?

What we need isn't another injury prone bench player.
We've had enough of that with the likes of Lallana, Shaqiri, Lovren and Matip.

No, you probably are not aware but Bayern planned it that way as they knew the player wanted to join them, and Lewandowski was not injured, but you wont know these things

We all bow to your superior footballing knowledge. The point still stands. Not all free agents are injury prone rubbish as you suggested in your previous post. Goetze was a cracking player but as others have said we’ve had / have enough injury prone players so I’d not bother taking the risk. Might as well give Lallana a new contract or keep Shaq.

VVD hardly missed a game if you want to compare Matip was tremendous for us in the second half of the 2018-2019 season, he was key to us winning the CL, for that alone he was worth it as a free transfer. I agree Goetze would be more of a risk with his injury record, but he might be worth the risk with his ability, we go into it knowing his injury record, I am sure at 27 he will still be looking to play at a big club in Europe, so he might agree to a pay as you play bonus type contract, so less risk for us.
