Hey eds, with ed1 saying we want to replace both cbs and that matip was a stop gap does that mean (klopp) sees a back four of TAA, gomez, VVD and robertson? klopp bought klavan was he a stop gap aswell?

Im curious to know if klopp wanted VVD and another or has he always seen gomez as a main part in his cb partnership?

Thanks.

{Ed001's Note - Klavan is a back up.}

So did he want TAA, Gomez, VVD and robertson for the season start do you think with loveren, matip and klavan as back up? I know gomez can play LB aswell. Just curious ed.
Thanks.

{Ed001's Note - no, Gomez was to be phased in, if he was up to it.}

So maybe as it stands now ed TAA with matip/ loveren VVD and robertson with gradually over the season gomez bieng fazed in next to VVD (if signed)?

{Ed001's Note - yes, if Gomez is good enough.}
