KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Priority acquisitions for next season

I think we will all agree that a CD is the 1st priority and for at least a year and it looks like it's almost finalised.

For me tge next priority is a CF, Firmino has been very poor fir quite some time and we need better.

If we still have funds, then a midfielder but I don't think we need to replace Gini unless we sell Naby. Hopefully Naby stays and plays regularly.

We need to sell Origi and Shaqiri and probably Matip or Phillips

Central striker.
centre back.
and a replacement for Gini.I hope Keita gets sold,he isn't good enough.

But dont think his sale will provide enough fund to buy a better midfielder, his problem has been staying fit rather than being bad

he was dragged off before half time in his last game.he has shown very little in his time here to suggest he's got it.

I think we could get away without a central defender albeit we look to be signing one.

We need a very good central midfielder Henderson is getting injury prone, Milner coming to end of career and Keita a total waste of time other than for medical research

A striker and another possibly another attacking midfielder if mane or salah leave.

Harvey Eliot will make the grade this season and Jones will progress

Plus more squad players

You think we can get away without a central defender? No way, both Gomez and Matip won't play all the games from experience, we don't know how fit VVD will be after such a bad injury and I hope we did have to play Rhys and Nat together again, it has been a disaster in waiting. As for the midfield, we will have Fabinho, Hendo and Tiago starters and with Milner ageing, it can be a worry with only Curtis left on the bench, however, it depends if Naby can keep fit, if he goes, then definitely needs replacing

We defo need a new CB, with Vvd, Gomez & Matip long term injuries, even if they are fit for start of next season (I doubt it), they will probably getting smaller injuries being out so long, Matip & Gomez injury records are poor anyways at the best of times, so we need to bring a new CB in, looks like Konate is the one, seems we will not be signing Kabak.

I would keep Phillips as a squad player as he is good cover for CB and has proved himself, Rhys should go on loan to get more experience and play regular football.

We do not want to rely in Fab as a CB again, he can do a job, but the MF really suffers with him at CB, especially now Wij has left.

I don’t think we can assume next season will be the same as this and have a huge bank of centrebacks assuming there will always be a massive centreback injury crisis. I have heard liverpool are keeping Ben Davies so Klopp must see something in him.

Midfield and up front are more my concerns

I don't agree, Matip and Gomez are usually injured and that leaves us with only VVD and we are not sure if his major injury will be all history. Anyway, we have already acquired a CB at time of writing which for me was a priority. I think now we need to replace Origi with someone much much better

I agree, CB business done now, I would just send Rhys on loan, not sure about Davies, I can see him being flipped in the summer for a profit.

We need an extra attacker/CF, I guess that will depend if we sell Origi, also Shaq may leave, we have Minamino coming back, depends if Klopp wants to sell him also, I would like to give him a season, he looked good at Southampton.

I would also give Grujic a chance, Wij has left, so we have a space in our MF, I cannot see Wilson staying, he has not done much on loan.
