Eds and Reds

Banter post please-

Which premier league player do you think would improve the team and is feasible?

I think Son for the first team and Ayoze Perez for the squad.

Would son improve the first team? A good player but plays in a position where we are arguably strongest.

{Ed002's Note - The problem with these fantasy questions is there is no mention of who he would replace - assumed in this case to be Firmino.}

I'm actually struggling here with this. I think our back 5 are perfect as they are. Our front 3 have proved they are up there with the best in the world.

Wouldn't swap fabino for anyone. Henderson. Gini Milner all perfect for the box to box role. So if keita and ox can provide a good number of goals and assists from the advanced cm role I think its more about options from the bench than starters.

I'd say son myself. Or max arrons from Norwich to cover left and right back?

I would take Bernardo Silva or KDB any time over are more forward midfielders. Fabiano or Kanté is very close I think Kanté gets round the pitch better but Fabiano is by far better in the air so would just leave Fabiano with age being on his side. Kane over Bobby would be close for Kane's goals but not sure how it would affect the way we played.

De Bruyne would be perfect for our front 3.

Not in a thousand billion years would i swap harry kane for roberto firmino.

Yes, kane scores lots of goals, he gets most of spurs goals. But our goals come from our wingers, mane and salah. And that is down to bobby in large part. And hey, the lad always gets double figures, with a wc creative mid he scores 20+. He is technically better than kane and has that brazilian flair that kane lacks.

Dont get me wrong, kane is a brilliant forward. You don't smash records at his age if you're not. But i think i may be in love with bobby dazzler. Especially with that red hair.

But back to the question

It would be easy to say bernado silva and kdb. Or Son or erikson. But i love our midfield. Its a horrible question so i agree that i would pick squad players pushing for a start.

I agree with john Aldridge that zaha could thrive at liverpool, only thing with that is he operates on the same side as mane AND origi (whom i am also in love with, been a weird summer) that said, all three players are versatile and i think origi, with his new found confidence and legend status could cover well at cf.
And id take ben chillwell. To cover lb and push robbo that extra 40% that klopp believes (and i do too) he has in him.

We have a brilliant team, we don't really need to sign anyone but with ds am and sm all looking to leave or gone those are the 2 premier league players id pick. And id grab pepe reina as back up keeper. Gks get injured and the gap between alisson and migs is frightening. We need someone who can come in and play well. If its a prem gk i have to pick id go for young nick pope.

and is feasible? B Silva and KDB are not.

Maddison or Brooks probably for me.

Son wouldn't be good enough to replace Bobby if Bobby was to go, which won't happen. if it did we would need an elite level player to replace him, which isn't Son.

At the moment, I wouldn’t swap our back five for any prem player, neither our front three - maybe there are better players but not for us. If you play Fabinho as holding and then one box to box and one more attacking minded player. Hendo and Gini deserve a spot so one can fill that role, so just an AM for me. Bernardo would be perfect but unrealistic. Not sure who is achievable in the prem that would be better than the ox or Keita in a more attacking role.

I would probably pick ox to come back. nd maybe some explosive sub to run at tire legs. and a cb incase there is a cascade injury. or maybe sepp is d answer for that. well wow. in future sep hoever nd gomez? (?°?°?) ?.

I don't think there's any realistic PL signings we could make that would improve the 1st eleven. Bernardo Silva would be the player I would sign if we could, but we can't.

For the squad, any young, talented full back that we could get for less than £15m.

I think jorghinio would be good for us. Joined the wrong team.

Jorginho is woeful and not what we need. Can’t press or tackle.

Remember it's fantasy before you have an aneurysm. It would help if you gave a player out for your in.

Etheridge > Mignolet (if he wanted out)

Zaha > Origi

Pogba > Keita

Milivojevic > Lallana

Sane > Salah (if he wanted out)

Thats a joke BG, right?

Pogba for keita?

Zaha for origi?

Sane for salah? (play on opposite sides btw)

And i don't understand why Son would be considered a Firmino replacement. Bobby is a CF and false 9. Son is a winger isn't he? If anything id have thought Son would be a salah replacement. And actually if we did lose mo next summer, i can't think of that many players who id prefer to fill his boots than Son. (if he is left footed, not sure if he is)
