Kelleher Gomez Konate VVD Tsimikas Ox Henderson Keita Salah Origi Minamino Good that it's 5-subs

Tick

if we could only buy 1 player this window, i think it's best to focus on getting an upgrade for Origi/Takumi i.e. 5th or 6th attacker. I believe last season's poor run was the drop in form of Mane & Bobby plus Jota's injury. And of course for not getting a proper 4th CB, which we have addressed. Ideally we need to sign an attacker plus Gini's replacement.

PLTBT!

Guess depends what role does JK sees Taki, Ox & Keita in the coming matches. Also how Thiago fits into the system. The boss seemingly was trying to go for the 4-2-3-1 system early in the season before the injuries. I can see him trying again for that system with a Thiago/Henderson/Fabinho/Keita/Jones as the midfield-2 once we get everyone fit. As much I love Gini, I can see why the club think he's not a priority signing, moving forward.

Hope Thiago doesn't get called up for the Spain national team.....

Chilwell's injured? I'd go with Fab-Hendo-Keita

AB1 Back-4 Fabinho - Keita Taki Front-3

I think Klopp himself would like to work with a set number of players. Anything more and there's some unhappy players not even on the bench. On top of that it's commendable that he's willing to really give the kids a chance to succeed. This sits well with FSG's overall vision to balance the budget on & off the field It's great, on paper, having 20 world class players but if everyone's fit, we can only play 11+5 players. Especially the 'big games'. Competition for a place is good, but so is job security that if i make a few mistakes, i'll still be in the team and the boss have total faith in me. Not to mention not having to deal with too many egos/agents of world class players. After the last couple of season, i have faith in our management team. and as long as we have Klopp, we'll be great. He's the key to our on-field success.

Reckon that'd be Cantwell.

Adrian, TAA, Matip, VVD, Milner, Jones, Fabinho, Minamino, Ox, Salah, Mane.

I want the gold league trophy (Invincible)

Is Naby back for this one? If not, will either start with Lallana or Mina

After Everton, our next match against Spurs are about 7 days away. And after that another 7 days before Mancs. (unless there's an FA Cup replay) So that would be the time for resting players.

Which story?

Smokescreen

Will Klopp and the backroom team be split as well?

Is Fab suspended for the match against Villa?

100% hunch

Keita & Gomez in for Henderson & Matip.

Allison TAA, Gomez, Virg, Robertson Fabinho Henderson, Keita Salah, Origi, Wilson

I think a lot of our transfer plan this summer depends on whether Milner sign an extension or he leaves. If he leaves, apart from getting another (experienced) central midfielder, we must also find another LB and RB who can deputise Robertson & TAA.

I'd go with Sturridge (if he's not injured already at the time)

Thought he's a Matic/Kante/Hamann type DM/CM?

This. I'd even put a dependable LB backup as a higher priority before considering a GK **unless Simon is shifted, in which we need to buy an experienced cheap backup
