Ed001 you mentioned we had watched the RBL right back but that you had forgotten his name. I assume you are on about Klosterman?

I really like him as a player. He is similar to Gomez in that he can also play centre back, so we'd still be able to switch up the defence to a back 3 if the opposition were getting at us. I thought he was late 20's but he's actually only 21. That surprised me big time.

If we signed Navas, Klosterman, Keita and Ceballos we'd look good going into next season. I still reckon we have a chance at Lemar as well. I can't wait for next season. I think we'll mount a more serious title challenge!

{Ed001's Note - I don't recall his name sorry.}

very defensive though mk and that's klopp's problem with clyne. imo I think we'd be after heinrichs or sociedads rb. maybe weiser too, ex Bayern youngster.

RBL won't sell if they don't want to because they clearly won't need the money. So chances of getting their starting RB is close to none. I don't rate Weiser at all. He is decent going forward but goes missing and ouplayed most of his games.

Heinrichs is a good shout but leverkusen won't sell for cheap as they have a big company backing them as well (Bayer is a big pharmacist here in germany) .

Kieran trippier would be a good rb for us. Not the greatest defender but his distribution is first class, it would be like playing 2 3 5 at times!

{Ed001's Note - oh god no, he plays one good game in 20 and is awful defensively. He puts in one good delivery and it is highlighted for months to show he is great going forward when he quite simply isn't. Says a lot that Kyle Walker was a far, far better player than he was.}

I don't get this 'we won't get him cheaply' business. So what? A first choice player in our squad isn't likely to come cheaply because if they are better than we already have, they are pretty damn good. As long as they aren't asking us to fund a Bayer Leverkusen Space Program, I can't see FSG or Klopp pulling shut the purse strings for a player that they actually think will have a positive impact on our first team and get us better results - especially if we can show that we're competitive for the CL title this season by getting past City and getting into it for next year.
