Hey ed, since there do exist some (unreliable, fabricated, untrustworthy) news reports linking us with Kevin Volland, could you say whether he will be available in the summer and which clubs are tracking him?

{Ed001's Note - if someone offers enough he would be available. He is a player Klopp likes, hence the stories.}

A player you rate ed?

{Ed001's Note - when I have seen him, mostly he has impressed, yes.}

Don't you think Ings and Volland are similar players though? Both diagonal runners and good finishers.

Would be a smart addition IMO, a proven goalscorer from out wide with pace to burn.

Yes and he proved he worked well with firminho.

I don't think Volland and Ings are all that similar. Volland, I think, more technical, probably greater pace, and often plays on the wing.

Ings plays up top, decent technically, but most importantly a lot of drive, desire. Very hard worker, like Milner.

Agree red planet, Ings is a hard working striker with a poachers instinct, Volland is a pacy winger who can also score goals. Would be a challenger to Milner, Llalana and Coutinho's spots but adds a different skill set to all those three. Closest thing we'd have to him is Markovic, Ibe or Ojo when are all still yet to prove they can step up (although I have faith in all 3)

Only ever seen him play at International U21 level where he has been great, but then so has Ilori.

Ings has pace.

zimbo: totally agree. Volland also has the versatility to play up top, as well, which is not a bad thing given that Benteke is likely gone, and the rest of our strikers seems to be injured often.

If Volland is that good, might as well go for him right, Ed?

{Ed001's Note - only if we need him, which would mean offloading some first.}
