One thing is for sure. It will take a quality left back to come in and be as consistent so Milner was last season. He is just the kind of full back successful teams of the past, not just Liverpool had. Bit like Denis Irwin for me. Understated but quality, gives 100 per cent and has bags of experience. No drama if we don't spend big on a left back. definitely need cover tho which is why robertson would be a good signing.

The lad has plenty of potential and is Young enough to be eased into playing for a huge club like us. I hope VVD happens as him and Matip together would be immense but can't see us going back after our embarrassing public statement.

I see what you're saying. I think Milner produced more going forward than Clyne did. Neither was bad defending and I know Milner cut back onto his right a lot (let's remember he played their out of duty not desire), but he was at least creative and solid taking pens. What exactly did Clyne produce? I can use my left foot better than he can, and I'm an old hack 😀.

I think I have it right that Milner scored seven goals and one assist, Clyne no goals and one assist. Even taking into consideration penalties that speaks for itself. In defence, Clyne is reasonable when the ball is on the ground IMO but poor in the air.

I think that RB is as key as LB next year. Also think with a left footed winger in the squad then Milner at LB isn't as problematic as it was last season, where both Coutinho and Milners lacked pace and both their natural instinct was to cut in rather than get in behind.

All of Milner's goals were penalties Zimbo, ridiculous comment.

The ideal situation would be to get a LB, RB, CB, CM. This won't happen and we all know it. I think more important in this order is CB, LB, CM, RB. I believe we can be fine with Clyne for another season, yes he's not exactly incredible but if needs be we have Milner who could step in and TAA. I think splashing money out on a RB this window would be a mistake and TAA would be probably history.
