Mikky

Nail on head - he’s effectively number 9 if we go on the basis we need 2 players for each of the back four positions - come an injury crisis (which we are all too familiar with) he becomes very useful

He’s been on that sodding bike for ages

The ideal squad player - provides decent cover

Would sell Miggy - should have enough cover with Minteh and Murphy alongside a top quality RW

Miggy and Wilson for sure I’d even sell Longstaff if it’s means bringing in a 6 - we have to have a 6 just to give us a different look

No thanks

Yep - I was clearly wrong about both Ake and Akanji - just shows what good coaching can do also

Miggy > RW Wilson > CF Longstaff > CM Targett With some money left for a CB and LB Wouldn’t mind a forward too

Yep - save your legs and players - bigger fish to fry

Hmmm CB LB CM RW CF 5 positions for me - with Wilson and Miggy sold at the very least - and Hall not purchased

I’d prefer a change in system tbh - my preference has always been a 4231 - the personnel we have for me says 4231 The “2” - Tonali - Bruno - Miley - CM (one’s I suggested) - means Longstaff is redundant - to get the best out of Tonali he needs a partner - this can also be Bruno tbh - however we need a quality addition regardless - allows Miley to develop at a steadier pace I want my RB or LB to step in with the 2 to give us an overload in mid and stop us being done in transition The “3” - so many options LW - Gordon and Barnes with Willock -Joe - Anderson providing cover AM - Bruno with tactical flexibility to play Joe - Willock and Anderson to put the opponent off - I want a player in behind Isak hence I want us to move away from a 433 RW - Let’s say Bakayoko with Minteh - Murphy and Gordon as alternatives CF - Isak - Sesko and a young forward Effectively in Mid and Attack we are losing Miggy, Longstaff and Wilson and replacing them with 4 plus we gain Tonali and Minteh - gives us such a fresh look Doubt if we are this transformational however I think time is up for Miggy and Wilson - we need to go a different direction.

I’d add Alex Murphy to that list Hopefully we are in a position to offload this lot: Dummett J Lewis J Hendrick I Hayden M Ritchie R Fraser Further Loans G Kuol H Ashby Likely departures J Lascelles (I’d prefer he stays and is 4th choice) M Targett - done nothing last 2 years M Alimiron - time to move pn C Wilson - time to move on (L Hall - I have no idea - I will assume he leaves) S Longstaff - cash in on him Gain S Tonali Y Minteh New Signings G Scalvini - covers all 4 defensive positions P Hincapie - LB and can dovetail into the 3rd CB like Burn does LB - ? 6/CM - One of Y Fofana - M Caqueret - J Guerra - to partner Tonali in a 4231 RW - Bakayoko/Neto etc CF - Sesko and 1 more young striker

Agree - I am all aboard the Sesko train

I think he’s a really good player - technically excellent on the ball - can play a few positions - just needs a free run without any injuries to allow him to develop at the pace he was during pre season I’m a big fan

Can’t wait to have this guy back

Really good player for us if we play with a double pivot We need a 6 - so Ederson is the one - whilst we are there, we may as well put Scalvini in our trolley - such a quality signing he’d be

Apparently getting him for circa £12m…??

A great example is Trent - came into the Liverpool team as a skinny kid - Klopp understood this was an issue and gradually over time built Trent up - the same will happen to Miley - you just have to be careful with him so not to mess his body up so early into his career - because he’s been playing week in week out there has been no time for him to work on the physical side Flip this and he’s had essentially a free loan spell within the club due to so many missing

Absolutely no snag that Gordon can play the same position (or Willock and Big Joe) the greater the competition the better imo Just a shame what injuries have done to us

Pictures of him without the boot today

Yeah good player Zirkzee - real big season for him There’s also small talk of Sesko Ideally someone who doesn’t get injured every 3 matches

Yeah in summary - we have 7 midfielders - our number 1 is playing as is our number 6 and 7 and it clearly shows - the gulf in quality is evident

The 2 defenders I want this summer are Scalvini and Hincapie Scalvini plays RB - CB - LB - 6 Hincapie - LB and covers CB Juan Miranda would be nice also - completely rebuild that left side by parting ways with the likes of Burn and Targett and even Hall if there is no future for him - no time for sentiment in the summer
