Hi Ed002.brilliant analysis as usual. My question is on Jarrod Bowen. Do you see him as a realistic signing for Liverpool? Would West Ham agree to swap Phillips and Origi plus cash probably for Bowen? I think Bowen would be a very useful addition for Liverpool. Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - I think it possible but they are looking at other players. They have identified a possible replacement for Bowen.}

Can you elaborate on the other possible replacements? Is it Sarr and Traore? Thanks Ed002.

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool have looked at others but they are the most likely if Liverpool are to add someone.}

please not traore.
i like sarr but would AFCON prevent liverpool going for him?

I said a month ago i thought we'd end up with Sanches and Traore. Sanches injury probably throws that out the window, but i still think it'll be Traore as the attacking player. Sarr makes no sense with AFCON upcoming, and Bowen will cost a fortune due to the HG premium.

With Mane, Jota, Salah and Elliot, I feel the wings are pretty well covered.

I’d prefer someone like Matthew Hoppe as he’s more of a centre forward to provide backup for Bobby.

But if it’s Sarr, let’s hope he can hit the ground running.

{Ed002's Note - The advantage of Sarr is that he is versatile.}

Elliot looks as though from Saturday and pre season he is being tried as a midfielder, and whilst he can play wide too klopp may prefer him there as he is not rapid like our other wingers or a Traore/ sarr type player.

{Ed0666's Note - I think it was obvious from day one to most observers that Billy’s (my pet name for him) best position would be in the middle. He has great awareness and positional sense and can impact the game more from there.

What were peoples thoughts on Traore's change of position in opening game for wolves, apparently he was more central and looked a real danger, finishing was a bit erratic but with coaching that could well be improved ala Salah. if the money was right I think he is a good option to supplement the front players and could well do a job for us.

I think Traore has the right tools to be a successful signing for Klopp and obviously he's not the finished article. If he was, then he'd be out of our reach. Whether or not he's well suited to Liverpool is up to Klopp to decide. I'm sure he knows better than us.

I don’t get why afcon should put us off sarr it never put us off salah or mane yes I get all 3 would be missing but if he’s only missing 4 games max I say if he’s the future mane / salah replacement in the future I would think the club would look past that.

{Ed002's Note - It is something to be aware of and clubs think about it.}

Fair enough, I'm not gona argue with you, Ed.

As long as he doesn't block any youngsters, works hard and keeps fit, bring him on!
