Any news on a left back, I saw something about cresswell the other day don't think he would be a bad signing, especially if he wants to go Russia playing for liverpool would give him a better opportunity to do that. Not so sure of the guy from napoli if they want moreno 🙈.

Cresswell is bang average. Half the West Ham population want him gone, and there was much ridicule over him getting a call up from his own supporters. Not an improvement on Moreno at all. Think we will end up with Ghoulam coz he refused to sign a new contract with Napoli and they want Moreno as a replacement now than lose Ghoulam for free.

It's been argued that Gloulam possesses the same faults as Moreno, plus goes to AFCON2019. It would be a rookie move on our part, unless another LB comes in before 18/ 19 season.

Hello i would thought 15mill or less for kieran gibbs of arsenal would not be a bad buy . any.

Gibbs? He's worse than Moreno!

Not the AFCON issue again please! It's every 2 years for a couple weeks! So I'm guessing you don't want Keira either?

Gibbs is far better than Moreno.

{Ed001's Note - not sure about that personally. Gibbs is also fragile to the Nth degree. All the moaning about Studger would be doubled about him. He can't defend, poor going forward and is lightweight. Not sure why anyone would want him.}

The AFCON does become an issue if 4 of your first team players leave though. This is assuming both Ghoulam and Keita comes in.

Ghoulam was pretty good the season before last, but whenever I saw him last season, he struggled and it was the other full back Hysaj who impressed me.

Gibbs better than Moreno is the funniest thing I've read today, I concur with Ed001's comment!

got to agree with The Real AG, look how we fell apart when Mane went off to the AFCON, now imagine another 3 or 4 other first teamers leaving too,
and its def not for a couple of weeks!

This years AFCON was 14th January to the 5th of February.

We had more than just Mane missing during this period. Matip was out, I'm fairly sure lovren missed a couple games, as well as injuries to lallana and couts and a couple others if I remember correctly (not sure though, it's not what it used to be! Lol) .

This is why klopp is trying to add players like ox who are value for money for the experience they already have and can fill multiple gaps and push the starters for their place but people on here seem to only want players that will go straight in and start week in week out.

And more to the point there are another 2 transfer windows after this one to add players before the next AFCON!

Gibbs is not even worth commenting on as he is that poor. I would take Ghoulam over Robertson any day provided his defending can be worked on cos I think it can cos unlike Moreno, Ghoulam is coachable and much better going forward (10 assists last season) than Moreno.

Gibbs seems to be a bit fragile but there is absolutely no doubt that he is a better footballer than Moreno. But it is all irellavent as neither are good enough for LFC.

{Ed001's Note - there is a lot of doubt that he is a better footballer. Technically, physically there is almost no doubt that he is worse, by a long way, than Moreno. The only advantage he has, being as he is lazy, is that he does not chase back and lunge into wild challenges. However I would rather have the better player that actually tries, than a 'can't be arsed' type like Gibbs.}

Creg, yes of course I still want Keita. That's a completely different scenario. Which was why I said 'unless we sign another LB before then'. My point was he's got the same problems as Moreno, PLUS the fact he goes AFCON. Keita is a world beater, and for those 3 weeks he goes AFCON we would have capable replacements in GiGi, lallana, Can etc. I doubt Milner will be still pushing at leftback in 2019. So my point stands, id rather not replace a player not deemed good enough (Moreno) with a player who has the same faults, PLUS the fact he goes AFCON. As we would only need to find another player before that season anyway.
