Aubameyang? Paper talk or real interest?

Apparently him and Klopp don't get on.

My personal view is that signing a player in his late 20's who is nigh on 100% reliant on pace is a risk that is no longer worth it for us. Before Salah signed, I'd have taken him; in fact when it was mentioned in the summer i even advocated the signing of Aubameyang. We have a lightening fast goal scorer now though, and Firmino has added goals to his game this season. So i don't think Auba is needed anymore.

I'd rather prioritise a keeper. Then after that another midfielder and a right back (so Gomez can play central with Van Dijk) . As far as strikers go, I'm happy with Salah, Firmino, Mane and Solanke.

Can’t see it.

Only as a loan deal. He has too much baggage for anyone to take him on permanently.

Yeah my personal preference would be a good keeper and another good Cb. Bring a bit more balance to the team. If we can concede less goals we won't miss coutinho as much.

Agree the current front 3 are great. Play really well together - especially when they choose the unselfish option in the box. However, if Sturridge, Origi and Ings go is the squad resilient enough to cover a medium/ long term absence of Mane, Firmino or Salah? Need to bear this in mind. Solanke is OK to give someone a rest but not sure if he could cover for an extended run.

Goalkeeper is a must for me - as is a creative mid to replace Couts.

Nice to have: new CB to play with VvD, new striker.

If Klopp who created Auba as a CF, does not want him here, that should tell you all you need to know esp. since he and Klopp don't get along and we can see why. The guy is a complete arse, gets suspended and fined at will at BVB and is an unrepentant bell. Sorry, I'll pass.
