If Lucas Leiva does leave this window, I'd much rather replace Leiva the midfielder than Leiva the CB. I'm aware Henderson has the position (rightfully) locked down, and that Can and Stewart can fill in. But with Europe around the corner and the high pressure style we play, it's not a bad move to make. At some point, Klopp will have to use a rotation next year, we have to make allowances for injuries, and there is no outstanding defensive, U23 midfielder waiting in the wings.

Kevin Stewart?

Buy one in the summer then. Who wants to sit on a bench for 6 months?

Kevin Stewart is already his replacement as he is a pure DM. Hendo is not a pure DM as he can break up play and also be a launch pad for our attacks.

Lucas deserves to see out the campaign with us and decide his future in the summer. He can contribute in two areas, so unless we think Gomez is fully fit and Stewart is our best defensive midfield option, I think we should keep him.
