If anyone wants to know how good Ricardo Perreira (RB for Nice, on loan from Porto) is, just check out his assist (long busting run and sweet pass to Balo from a brilliant finish) and sumptuous goal (cuts in from the right, curls one in with his left to the top corner).

I know we are interested and if we want to really upgrade the FB position (as he can play both) he is the one we need. He is top class.

Yeah, we need adept attacking fullbacks in order for Klopp's system to be taken to the next level. His system is heavily reliant on fullbacks contributing to the attack an unfortunately the players he has for the fullback positions are not up to standard to deliver the goods.

My hope is that Klopp brings in quality and major upgrades on what we currently have for the both fullback positions.

Fingers crossed!

From what I've seen seems to be able to cross a ball properly. Not saying he is a great player but watching Kingsley from Swansea yesterday and was able to cross from deep with pace and whip, which caused united problems. Don't need a big cf to score from those either as gives the striker a chance to get the run on the defender for an open header.

I think the loan back to Fulham may well be a perfect scenario, especially if Fulham manage promotion, it would give him the chance to play top flight and Liverpool chance to see if his potential still looks as good in the prem as it does in the championship.

If we sign someone then he should play with us. What's the point in loaning back. We need first team player. If Sessengon could playf for us, then fair enough else try someone. The last thing you need is another Grujic or Allan!

You're talking about Grujic and Allan like you've already written their chances off. Why? Still time for them to become important players for us, by all accounts.

Of course we need first team ready players, but I have no problem of season-long loans if our coaches think it will help their development.

{Ed002's Note - A loan for Grujic is a problem due to promises made to the player and others. Whilst much is expected of Grujic he was far from EPL first team ready and it was an error to bring him in at that time on the deal he got. Several small injuries and a couple of issues have disrupted his season. If central midfield was bolstered during the summer it would leave him wondering about his chances next season as well. Of several major sides interested in him at the time, it was only Liverpool who gave assurances. The others would have seen him on loan gaining vaulable experience. So a year older and no more experienced.

A further loan for Allan may be the only option due to work permit difficulties. Perhaps Liverpool will give a shot to trying to persuade folks he deserves a work permit and he will be a regular and valuable first team player next season. Else a loan or sale beckons - certainly no gimme.}

Fair enough, but there's still a chance that both players could end up in the Liverpool first team, no? Seems a bit premature to right them both off.

My point is that loans aren't inherently bad. Some work well for a player's development - take Harry Kane at Millwall or Lukaku at West Brom, for example. Others, like the aforementioned, may not be so beneficial.

Ed can you elaborate on the couple of issues Grujic has had in addition to the injuries at all? I was unaware. I will use the search if it's been covered previously cheers.

{Ed002's Note - No, I don't think it appropriate but some work needs to be done.}
