Some months back I mentioned the possibility of Bryan Mbeumo but Ed001 mentioned that LFC has never been interested in him. (Apologies if that's not the exact response) . I wanted to know what changed to bring him to our notice this time around. I still believe that he's one of the best options for Salah's wing. His adeptness and speed as well as Premier league experience should sway this for him. I'll take him now and keep Harry developing for another couple of seasons.
{Ed001's Note - are you sure it was me?}

Agree, He looks a cracking player.

What do you think of him as a player Ed1? Do you think he would be a good addition to our squad? I would assume if we are interested, it would be as Salah replacement in the future.
{Ed001's Note - he is ok, can be very good but inconsistent and spent a bit of time out injured recently. Not really a Salah replacement though. I am not convinced he would be much, if any, of an improvement over players already at the club, such as Szobo, for wide right.}

To be honest everyone is looking at potential Salah replacements when slot doesn't play inverted forwards anyway. Wingers in a slot system (if used at all) will be more like traditional wingers, sprint to the byline and cut back into the box for a tap in.
I might end up being wrong but I think Salah will either play on the centre next year or play on the left with a more traditional winger role.

We can do a lot better than Mbeumo and no, he is not a cracking player. For me, the players are out there that we can get so I don't subscribe to hyping up a decent player just to make him someone who would improve us cos frankly, Mbeumo won't. I ain't selling Diaz and Gakpo to be replaced by Mbeumo and the ilk. He's decent. That's it, IMO.

Nevada, Slot plays inverted fullbacks and sometimes both invert at the same time.
