Rumours of Lewis from Norwich. Thoughts all?

Personally I don't think he is good enough to push Robertson, but for a low fee as a back up i guess he is home grown and will give us more balance on that side when Robbo misses games.

I just really hope Klopp can squeeze more out of him. His performances last season were lacklustre but i guess he's still just a kid. Klopp has earned the right to sign Paul Konchesky and still have my backing!

Everyone questioned the signing of robbo and look how that turned out. The majority wanted Mendy over him.

If the club have identified him as a good option then I trust their opinion.

Plus if Larouci is an option for Norwich then knowing Edwards it’ll be a straight swap!

I really like him actually, athletic versatile and fits the HG quota I think? I no he represents NI but he’s been at Norwich for a while so I think he counts.

{Ed002's Note - Being Home Grown is nothing to do with which country a player represents.}

If him and the Algerian CB do join, perhaps Neco can have a season long loan in the championship.

Did anyone think gini or even robbo were going to be good enough when klopp wanted them? Trust the manager his track record with sigmings is pretty good, other than Karius and Shaqiri he's signed players that have all. improved under his management.

I think he would be a good signing all things considering. He is probably better than the likes of Larouci at the moment with a lot more experience. Can play in a couple of positions and is young enough to improve and become a long term first team player.

Strange one this for me if there is any truth. Problem with us signing any player as Ed keeps telling us is who will want to come to get minimal game time. Robbo doesn’t miss many games but he been playing every week for Norwich. Also why not give Larouci more game time instead of shipping him out.

Then there is the question mark is he good enough to step up to the bigger stage?

{Ed002's Note - Yasser Larouci (LWB) Reims look to now be losing Hassane Kamara and they are starting to look for options and that includes Larouci. Brentford are expecting to lose Benrahma and want a left-sided player capable of covering the LWB and LW positions - and Larouci is a LW who has been converted to LB - and their interest is no secret. As many youngsters are doing, Larouci wants opportunities in the first team and Liverpool cannot offer that, and given a little something else going on, he may well look to options but I don't think he has asked to leave.

If Liverpool do make an offer to his club then Lewis will have to think very seriously about a move which for all intents and purposes will stall his future career as he will be simply be providing cover for PL and CL games and getting opportunities in the FA Cup.}

If he's really only going to cost £10-13m then I think it'd be a decent signing. He's young, homegrown and can cover both the LB and LW positions. Room for improvement, yes, but when Robertson joined us he wasn't a world beater either, and now look at him.

I like him HMB, He is so quick and skilful and is perfect for the way we play. Robbo needs competition.

It might not happen yet as he apparently wants some assurances over game time.
If it goes through then it's a good deal for me.
We'd have to pay way over the odds for a player already at Robertson's level, so this transfer would be very clever.

Shaqiri has done nothing wrong at Liverpool other than being injured, some people!

I mean i personally championed the signing of Robertson. But i don't remember anybody wanting Wijnaldum including myself, and people even criticised the Salah signing after his perceived failure at Chelsea. Klopp does have a habit of pulling a rabbit out the hat so i will not moan too much about anybody he wants at the club. I do have my doubts over Lewis but i am not the guy who just ended a 30 year wait for the title! Interesting reading everyone's opinions though. Lots of interesting views. Cheers lads.

Robbo is streets ahead of lewis socant understand why he would want to come to Liverpool to sit on the bench, he would be better off going somewhere like leeds.

Acered, he may see it as a chance to challenge himself to see if he can go to the next level as a player at a big club under the guidance of one of the best two managers in club football. The lad (to my mind) looks a decent prospect, be a good result if we could bring him in as it would take the workload off of Robbo.

Next year the season is even more condensed. Throw in CL, FA Cup and league cup games then there could very well opportunities for Lewis to get games when we are resting Robbo. He would need to be happy knowing he’s backup to Robbo.

Fair comment 6Times i was just looking at where he would get game time now.

Im guessing the Lovren money is paying for Lewis if we get him?

{Ed002's Note - It doesn't really work like that.}

putting aside whether he is 'good enough' or the liklihood that he is coming - I don't see this as a good move for him and I don't see Norwich selling him for 10mil lol

IF he wanted to come and be an understudy, then it is just the fee. take it at 10mil, but to me that is an unrealistic figure.

If you have the attitude where you are happy to be back up we should look elsewhere.
We want players that are there to take a place in the first team through graft and their determination.
Competition breeds success in my opinion otherwise complacency creeps in.

I can't believe the defeatism of some people. Maybe he thinks that if he works hard enough, he could become better than Robbo? If he's that ambitious, then I say he's worth pursuing.

Why is everyone saying that he'd consider moving to be a backup? If he's got anything about him, he's got to believe that he can become the best in his position. And so far, at his age, and what he's already shown, maybe he can be?

Epic, he is only 22 yrs old, and already an International player, he could be joining the League Champions, and next season I think that he would get plenty of game time, so yes I agree, if he has the right mind set, it would be a win win .

also heard that Jamel has returned home early from his holiday, to see what develops, something is going on .
