I think Liverpool should just try for one new addition, a quality striker to finish all the chances we create each match. Dusan Vlahovic Has been mentioned previously and has many suitors. But a proper offer would be my preference and move Firmino as midfield cover. He is young and shows huge potential but if he turns into a 30 goal a season player, a huge asset in the future. We just need to perhaps speculate to accumulate as will need a new striker eventually.

Firmino is not a midfielder.

Firmino was a midfielder before he joined Liverpool 🤦🏼‍♂️.

His best position now could well be AM. I think he could well play deeper this year in quite a few games.

Actually, Firmino started his career as a defensive midfielder.

FSG would ideally like the OX (who scored some 25 goals in like 220 games ) to play the striker role 😂😂😂.

FSG picks the team? Incredible.

So Bobby and Trent in midfield this season. We just need one more now to take up the third midfield position. Maybe Allison or even Salah to play the Dm role. We can sell the 8 central midfielders we have then 🤣.

Who cares where he started up. Carragher started his as a striker. Firmino needs to up his game generally as opposed to this AM nonsense. 🤦.

Thunderbird - This wouldn’t even be in the conversation if more money was made available to bring in proper attacking reinforcements. That’s where the criticism of FSG comes from. Not one person on this site has ever indicated, even remotely, that FSG has anything to do with team selection.

Alli is s striker in my team, great heading ability.

The thing is Bobby should have been shipped or replaced by now. he is what 30 and we don't have a natural or any kind of replacement for him yet. Klopp has no other options than experimenting with what he has today.

How many senior games did carra play as a striker IPC? That is a false comparison. Firmino has played his entire bundesliga career at AM (4 years and circa 140 apps) .

Klopp turned him into the striker role. It’s hardly outrageous to suggest playing him there could be an option.

Bobby dropping into the middle is a dumb idea, rather a desperate attempt to cover the cracks. We will have to change the entire setup and system to play with an AM. Bobby doesn't have the legs to play in the middle and he would be a proper passenger in that role.
if he drops in then you may as well ask your full-backs to check their runs coz we don't have enough bodies to babysit them.
will not happen in million years.

I find is crazy Sinwave you think a player should be shipped because he is 30. 30! he has a good few years in him his game has never been about pace and that's what you lose as you get older, yes we need someone to come in a compete with him but he doesn't need to be pushed out Bobby suffered last year with no fans I think he feeds off that energy I am confident this year with a proper rest our front 3 will remind the world just how good they are

Bobby will play here for another 3 years then head home to brazil to retire.

Comical. Folks so desperate for a new signing they're writing players off as finished.
Cue the outrage when Klopp does the opposite to what they want.

Sinwave, if you think a player should be dumped cos he is 30 then, that should apply to VVD, Hendo, Thiago, Milner and in a year it would be Salah and Mane. At this rate, we will have next to NO top players yet and you're really going to lose your ship afterwards. This tells me that you literally have no idea what you are talking about cos your basis is deeply flawed.


Yousay Bobbie dropping into the AM position is a dumb idea to paper over the cracks and the fullbacks need to babysit him. You do know that Klopp has done that multiple times over the past 3 seasons and mostly, it worked with our FB's high up the pitch not having to babysit him and was NEVER a passenger cos he gets on the ball a lot more in that role, right? So what cracks were they papering over then when we won majority of our games with him in the 10? Did he have the legs for it then and suddenly doesn't have them for it now? You say it won't happen in a million years whereas it has happened already multiple times all the way back to even last season. Again, incoherent thinking.

Listen, you may want Bobbie gone and there are actually good reasons you can give to support such a point. However with the way you talk, it seems you just want him gone for literal NO reason other than your emotions and the need to get a new CF in. Sorry, that ain't going to happen cos Bobbie is going nowhere this summer regardless of how emotional your comments are.

Kloppers

sometimes you have to let players go when they have value especially for a club like ours lol that is struggling to meet two ends. I am not sure how many would be interested in signing a nongoal scoring defensive-minded striker but again he might bring in some revenue.
you don't need to go further than spurs who are about to sell their star player (nearly 29) for a sum that would revamp their whole team in one go.
there are only three players I wouldn't want to sell. Salah, VVD and Allison.

I have no problem if Klopp would like to hand over a group of 35 plus age group players to his successor in three years' time. It's no secret we are relying heavily on salah to score goals.

Milner will be nearer 40 to be fair yet nobody wants him to leave - makes you think that perhaps age might just be a number.

If, say, we were offered Messi and Ronaldo for a couple of years on fee transfers do you think they might be worth a shot?
