There does appear that at the very least he is considering a move to Liverpool. let's hope tha Klopps contacts with Germany will hold him in good stead. He is a quality attacking midfielder, great header of the ball, 6' 2" helps I suppose, a real driving force and very well rated as a great young german talent.
If we get him, it would certainly make a big improvement to the team. I don't have any information to confirm we will get him, just a little of my own internet research i've done in the last few days, which makes it seem plausible?

who is it you are talking of?

{Ed002's Note - Goretzka.}

Think he’d be a great addition. Specially if it’s on a free. May help with FFP. The Ed’s in particular Ed002 has said we have made our interest known to his rep. Time will tell what he chooses to do.

Don't think Goretzka will happen. Would rather someone who can sit in front of the defense and spray passes and start attacks. We already have Keita, Lallana, OX and Gini to play the B2B roles. We need to upgrade the Henderson position and my preference is Paredes or Rabiot. Goretzka plays further up the pitch.

Ah yes, the good old pass sprayer. Sees a 60 yard diagonal and plants it on a sixpence whilst simultaneously managing to make 8 defensive players lose their mind and run up the pitch, thus leaving space in behind. Genius. Or in other words, we need an attacking defensive midfielder who with one foot stops a goal then creates one with the other. Yarp, sounds good. Javi Alonscherano is a name that springs to mind. Cracking stuff.

Maybe while we're at it, we hijack George Weah's attempts at a political career and get him to teach Mignolet how to dribble the length of the pitch. Create some sort of keeping striker and bypass the need for the rest of the team perhaps? Saves his Liverpool career and becomes a cult hero all at once. DONE!

{Ed025's Note - i enjoyed that..

Goretzka and Kieta is exactly what you call a double pivot! Both are brilliant on the ball and equally good off the ball. This could also end any persuit of a DM or a Specialist holding Midfielder in the summer!
