With the signing of Klavan imminent perhaps Gomez will be used as cover for RB/ LB?

Theres rumours Clynn might be on the move or perhaps an LB now won't be coming in?

Sakho and Lovren both picked up a lot of Niggles last year, Gomez is returning from long term injury and apparently Matips injury record isn't the best so I think Klavan is a sensible addition.

I do fear it spells the end for Lucas though as he won't be needed as cover for CB and with us clearly in the Market for another CM his playing time will be limited.

While not a critical signing, Klavan makes some sense to me, I wasn't completely comfortable with the idea one significant injury and we'd be with Gomez as our backup CB on the bench. As talented as he is, he's young and just recovering from an ACL injury, so makes sense to have someone like Klavan who as a bonus can cover other positions too.

Gomez I'd love to see given a shot at RB, LB or CB in cup games and selective PL games once proven his recovery and hopefully kicks on next season with a bit more experience. If we go this route though, spells the end for Wisdom and Illori and perhaps even Smith (Klavan can play LB)

Lucas I can see as a backup to Can and/ or Hendo in deep midfield.

I wasn't aware klavan can play LB. If that's the case then I think this is our defence done for the summer. Klopp stressed he wanted his signings in before the tour.

It will be a big season for flanno and Gomez on the fringes to try and push themselves into the picture somewhere along the back 4.

We would sign a LB without a doubt and klavan is signed to cover CB's in necessary.
