Quick question ed. is Ragnar coming in to cover LB with Moreno or will we still look for a LB?

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Centre back but LFC want Chilwell but cannot agree over cost.}

Klavan plays primarily at CB but he's played left back sporadically in his career. My guess is that he's emergency cover at left back only.

Cheers ed

Just seems like another knee jerk signing.

I thought we need to trim the squad, would make more sense to leave a kid as back up and wait for sakho and Gomez to return.

Couple of months time this guy will be warming the bench.

We never seem to learn.

We have Lovren, Sakho and Matip as first choice CBs, and with our injury history that leaves us one injury away from two experienced senior CBs. Also bear in mind we've sold Skrtel, lost Toure and obviously Caulker so bringing in one CB isn't the stupidest idea in the world.

Gomez is a fantastic talent but young and recovering from a ACL injury, I personally am happy if we get Klavan and then hope we move on Illori, Wisdom and then use Gomez as cover for the FB positions and cup games at CB.

I see your point zimbo but we can't keep buying players to make sure we have cover for cover.

May as well kept toure whos used to the league rather than bringing in a soon to be 32 year old whos got to get upto speed.

Also i'd imagine he's cover for matip, lovren and sakho so when is he going to get his game time.

Also not to forget that we lose Matip when he leaves for ACON.

He looks like a decent ball playing CB and also isn't slow. Similar to Lovren with more miles on the clock, but still at an age to improve and go up a level when surrounded by better players.

Agree with Lavers and I am sorry Zimbo, That approach is the reason we have a large squad. Buying players to Cover for cover.

I think he's a player who will give his all for the team. He's versatile enough to act as cover in two positions and is driven to become his countries all time greatest player. I for one look forward to seeing him play.

I think is is ok signing. May help us during the long season.

Plus all the reviews given by other posters seem to suggest he is a decent player. Si where is the problem?

Klavan is a big part of the reason we could not score a single goal from open play vs Augsburg in the EL last season.

I wouldn't assume he's coming to be break glass cover, he may surprise people and push his way into first choice, he may also be there to push Sakho (injured I believe) and Lovren to step up and maintain a higher level - or be dropped.

Game of thrones. You say it's the reason we have a bloated squad yet you keep going on about dahoud and zielinski----- two midfield players that we are well over crowded with.

Of course, Harry only goes on about players that he wants. If he doesn`t want you, you are adding to the Bloated squad. But Zielinski, Dahoud and Kovacic wouldn`t.
