Interesting reading through tonight's posts. Macca saying "We will have to add a striker of quality who can play across the front 3 positions, I personally think it will be Werner and maybe a top fullback and if I am being greedy a number 10".

Sounds like Macca thinks we will go for Werner?

Thanks.

It what Ed002 says is true and we don't have too much cash to splash unless any first team players are sold, then a versatile fullback/ winger like Laxalt (who will be quite cheap) and a rotation option for our front 3 will be all we can expect. We don't need a CAM as Shaq can play there and OX will be back soon. I'd also have Grabara and Kelleher fighting over the NO.2 Gk slot than waste money on a aged backup GK.
We could easily sell 5-6 unwanted squad players like Origi, Sturridge, Clyne, Moreno, Lallana, Ings, Chirivella etc and replace with 2 quality signings and integrating Wilson, Philips, Lewis, Brewster into the first team squad.

{Ed0333's Note - good little post that mate. You can come again.

I don't think Macca was saying we will be going for him. Rather that he hopes we will.

{Ed0333's Note - oh damn I just put my life savings on Werner signing this week.

We have sold Solanki already, maybe another 2 or 3 soon. Why are we assuming that we would only buy if we sell a starter (player from the starting 11)?

To get our hands on a forward like Werner who costs around 50 million euros, the club's going to have to do a mass clearout of the forward line (Origi, Sturridge, Ings, Kent) . Its still a decent amount of money raised and we need a player like Werner to allow for effective rotation across the frontline. I am tired of seeing us get kicked out of the domestic cups early on year after year. There is a lot of potential to improve our squad without breaking the bank. It will just need some smart planning from Klopp and co.

I really don’t understand the love in with Werner - he was awful in the World Cup and don’t think he fits our system at all.

Give youth a chance, Jones, Brewster, Wilson or Woodburn, they won’t turn in to great players sitting in the reserves.

No not at all Indian Buzzer . a lot will depend where we finish at the end of the season. If we win epl and have a good run in CL then I'm sure will have no problem acquiring klopp's targets. Neither I see 50m euros a big deal as u in today's market compare to what clubs earn in CL Tv money sponsors etc in today's world.

I honestly don't think we have been losing in cup competitions because of player personnel. It's simply the club's approach to them, as to why we haven't progressed at all. That's it. And if you listen carefully to Klopp's press interviews before the Wolves game, you'll realize that when he was talking about what a busy December it was, and how tired the players were, he was setting everyone up to see 9 changes for a game that he did not expect to win. Maybe if we get he title (finally) this year, Klopp will say "hey, I now need one of those Cup trophies as well", next year. 😉.

Andy Fields: because Solanke wasnt even playing. if were getting someone whos not even playing it better be a guy to keep all our players in cotton wools after each game. especially Van Dijk!

OK I'm confused to as to how you guys are getting that Werner is going to cost x mount it doesn't work like that again Werner would not be coming to sit on the bench.

I haven't seen Wilson this season, but he has been getting good reviews at Derby. I know the Championship isn't the premiership, but Neves has done well with Wolves. Personally, I think Wilson has to be with the team next season.
Also, I'm not sure I'll go for Werner. I'll prefer someone that is more versatile.
I think we need to get a forward next season. Salah, Mane and Firmino have been playing lots of games. We're lucky they're Ronaldo/ Messi kind of durable, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to rest them from time to time.

{Ed025's Note - wilson is not the answer realtofel, unless you can bring him on just to take free kicks like they do in american football, the rest of his game is awful mate..

I live just up the a38 from Derbys ground and there are lots of Derby and Forest fans around here, they all say that Wilson has a terrific free kick and passing range but he's way too light just yet and gets knocked off too easily, they also say he goes missing when there is work and tracking back to do,
The reports all clearly give credit to his goals which is obviously going to happen but in reality it looks like he needs to fill out and have another season somewhere like Derby while he's at least developing his game, he tries a few tricks too many apparently too.
He's young yet, let's not clamour for him to be the next big thing too soon.
