I hope those urging klopp to spend 60/ 70 mil on vvd are not the same people who are going to slag the deal if he has a bad game. Don't want him for that money. Can ed give us some alternative cbs we would be keen on please?

{Ed025's Note - keane or mcguire?..

LOL Ed025. FSG will be expecting a title challenge next season, not a bottom half of the table finish. Suggest some better defenders please.

{Ed025's Note - koulibaly and david luiz..better?..

I'll be honest Ed025, neither Keane nor Maguire look capable of being anything more than mid table players. Which is fine if you want to finish mid table, but not so good if you're in the Champions League. You know my misgivings on Keane, but Maguire is too slow, shockingly poor in the air, lacks concentration and gets caught out of position and loses possession to often.

{Ed025's Note - yeah..but besides that.. :)

Napoli are ridiculously hard to negotiate with, they make the lad at Lyon look easy to deal with. So I can't see Coulibaly happening and Luiz isn't going to leave Chelsea anytime soon!

Gimminez, Rudiger, Monalas, Laporate. There are plenty.

Laporte only looks good because he doesn't have to play Pulisball. He's a bit short for a centre back at 5'11" so would be battered here, and considering crosses are the weak point we want someone at least competent in the air.

Ed025 is right. We need a sturdy english speaking centre back, nobody talks in our back line its all silent and uncomfortable. Keane or maguire may not be great but in all honesty are probably the same level of half the centre backs with fancy names everyone wants to sign.

{Ed025's Note - you make a fair point wooly, the likes of john terry was a very average player but got the best out of the other players, and even though he is a total scumbag of a person was the lynch pin of chelsea..

Jerome Boateng of Bayern Munich. Winner's pedigree and mentality. Has not played much this past year so could be enticed away, if Klopp wanted him. A little older, but could still give 5 years to the team.

Laporte is actually 6ft 2.5 inches not 5ft 11 so would be more than capable in the air.

Should also try Bernat from Bayern. A very good Left back.
