Heard a rumour this morning that we may make a last minute push for Leeds left back, Charlie Taylor.

No idea how true this is, just got talking to the cashier in the petrol station and he seemed adamant.

{Ed002's Note - As I said previously I would not totally discount it. However, Leeds did get a significant offer from another EPL side yesterday.}

I believe he might end up on Merseyside playing for the team in blue.

He got destroyed by Oliver Burke on Saturday. the 19 year old who just left forest. It's Burke we should have got.

Burke looks great, but unless it was a buy then loan he wouldn't have played.

I think Klopp made a conscious decision quite some time back ago to not go for a left back (after the Chilwell botching), because he trusts Milner enough to do an adequate job in the position. It also frees up one place in an already crowded midfield (in addition to Milner's rumored "must play" contract clause) . Where do you play Milner now that Mane is in the team? If Milner can bring the same hardwork and effort to the LB position as he did on the wing, then we'll surely be better off than with the risky Moreno. The differences are obvious and glaring. I agree with Ed001 that playing a righty on the left side is a weakness. But it'a not a perfect world. I'd be more than surprised if anyone is brought in before tonight's deadline.

A buy then loan would have suited all parties, the way he was improving at forest they must have been doing something right. We should send a couple youngsters there way, seem to do well, bamford lascelles darlow burke in the last couple of years came through the academy.

{Ed002's Note - That is not how loans work.}

I can't see how we can hope to reach top 4 with Milner as our left back. Don't get me wrong he does a decent job there but his positional awareness for that position isn't good enough and will cost us goals similar to the spurs goal. I'm very surprised a manager of Klopps ability hasn't focused on bringing in a top left back when he payed 25 million for a player we didn't really need.

"I can't see how we can hope to reach top 4 with Milner as our left back"

We won the CL with Djimi Traore in that position, and I rate Milner more highly than him at LB.

to what ed 2 said Rest of the squad salaries are listed below and the data is taken from trusted sources like Guardian, BBC, Premierleague. com etc.

Daniel Sturridge and James Milner are the two highest paid players in Liverpool ranks with both taking home £120,000 a week salary. Captain Henderson and Coutinho who signed new financially improved deals last year earn £100,000 a week.

NE red are people not allowed to learn anymore? Are players just born a position on the pitch and that can never be altered? The more he plays, trains and thinks like a full back the better he will become. I really do hate this 'he's not a left back' rubbish. He has all the attributes to be a decent left back (aside from being right footed but I don't see that as a massive issue) so if he puts his mind to it and is taught the role his positioning will improve. It's really not that hard to understand.
