Hi guys,
Just wondering regarding our ST situation, obviously Sturrisge looks on the way out, leaving us with Firmino and Origi plus the youngsters to battle for the position. In my opinion Origi has the potential to lead the line in a year or two and personally think e could be lethal. However can we rest on Firmino playing up top? I know we have been linked to some names Demele, Azmoun and so fourth but it's just more unproven young strikers.
Firmino to me offers something different to your Kane's, Costa's etc in that he brings others in to the game more with his skill and vision, but I feel he's not an out and out striker you never see him playing on the last man, of course he chases down the opposition all day long but I feel we need a proper striker who'll grab goals even on his/ our bad days and play Firmino behind them .

{Ed002's Note - There is also Ings.}

I really wonder how Origi can become world class in two or three years when he hardly gets any game time.

Similarly Grujic's transfer was also a gamble. He has hardly featured and even if he wasn't injured, there wouldn't have been many chances come his way.

Can we count number of such fringe/ potential youngsters who have gone on becoming top players?

Cheers.

Origi can become good not world class.

Personally not sure that Origi will ever be the bags of goals scorer LFC needs and I am sure Firmnho isn't that player. without a player who will consistently I don't see how winning the league can be viable.

In Klopp's philosophy it's no player is world class the collective team is greater than the 11 individuals.

I think and hope Danny Inges will be a perfect fit for us.

Although it'll be the middle of next season (hopefully)

My take. Ings will take a long time to get back. Certainly not next season. Origi is a hit and miss and Firmino misses more sitters than what he actually scores ( Still the best player though ) . I expect the club to sign a striker at the expense of Sturridge. He could be an already finished product or another young potential depending up on what our total budget is for the summer.

There is an issue regarding the position of Firmino with the arrival of new striker. Klopp doesn't fancy 2 up top nor he plays someone off the main striker. It's mostly a 4-3-3 and in that case Firmino will not fit in on the flanks.

A winger and striker will come in as FSG will be convinced to go once again for the league and possible good run in the CL.

I gave no clue who makes the way or who goes to the bench but two quality players will certainly give us results.

Cheers.
