So you can only be a striker if you are 6’ 7” like Crouch or it’s fine to be just 5’ 9” like Salah?...but but but VVD,

If I were to make a case for "short" defenders, names like Baresi, Cannavaro, to some extent Thiago Silva who is 1.83 m tall, come to mind.So you can only be a striker if you are 6’ 7” like Crouch or it’s fine to be just 5’ 9” like Salah?

Not fucking Carra.
Whatever we paid for EndoThat Fulham defensive midfielder is a top player but he'll be 29 at the start of next season. So, how long's he going to be good for? And what would you pay for that? It would have to be lowballing really and they aren't going to take that.
They aren't going to sell him for 18M or whatever we paid for Endo. Not with Bayern etc. sniffing round. Puts him in the 'don't bother' category which is a shame as he's great.Whatever we paid for Endo
Bayern had a deal for £60m ish on deadline day that they fucked up. So about that I’d say.That Fulham defensive midfielder is a top player but he'll be 29 at the start of next season.

I agree, but we're not in the business of signing "older" players unless they're free like Milner or we're desperate, like Endo. Or if it's a goalkeeper I guess.They aren't going to sell him for 18M or whatever we paid for Endo. Not with Bayern etc. sniffing round.

But no defensive midfields of that quality.I agree, but we're not in the business of signing "older" players unless they're free like Milner or we're desperate, like Endo. Or if it's a goalkeeper I guess.
Also we have like 8 midfielders already and a RB who wants to play in midfield.
We have somewhat of a situation in midfield at the moment.But no defensive midfields of that quality.
Look, I agree, it's a non-starter. But he's there or thereabouts the best in the Prem at the moment and most of the other (foreign) contenders are unknown quantities.
But yeah, £60M, no chance.
I dont remember using those words, but I do think a tall CB is best.So you can only be a striker if you are 6’ 7” like Crouch or it’s fine to be just 5’ 9” like Salah?
Well we’ve got big Nat back in 2 weeks or so, so all sortedI dont remember using those words, but I do think a tall CB is best.
Well, Endo is a squad player, no better.
Badger, no idea, he's injured too often.
Apart from a worldie, MacAllister has been average to good, no better.
Slobber is ace, we know that.
Gravy looks good but is by no means a settled starter yet.
Elliot is fits and starts.
Jones was our best MF second half of last season and, when he's fit, is still a starter for me (or thereabouts)
Thiago I couldn't give a shit about
Morton fuck knows
Play Trent where he wants
So the numbers are there, I'm not sure the strategy is.
Klopp has ruled out a CB signing, and you can see that with only 3 playing in MF and with Thiago and Spanish Naby to return he isn't going to be thinking about adding further MFs regardless how much I protest.We have somewhat of a situation in midfield at the moment.
Endo 30 (DM)
Bajcetic 19 (DM/CM)
Macca 24 (CM)
Szobo 23 (CM/AM/LRW)
Gravy 21 (CM)
Elliott 20 (CM/AM/RW)
Jones 22 (CM)
Thiago 32 (DM/CM)
Then there's Trent 25 (RB/???)
Out on loan:
Morton (CM)
We can only start 3 players in midfield and we currently have 8. Imo we only have one specialist DM in the squad and that's Endo. Bajcetic isn't proven, but it could where he ends up. The rest aren't really the typical defensive midfielder, they're more like playmakers.
Thiago leaves this summer, that's one problem solved, although skill wise he's probably our best midfielder.
So now we're down to 7. Trent apparently wants to play further forward. I don't see Klopp giving Trent a place in midfield this season, but if he does give him a position in midfield next summer, someone will have to be benched, the question is who?
The only way we sign a new DM is if we sell Endo. Thats how I see it.
We'll still have 4-5 players on the sidelines looking to get time on the pitch and that might cause some issues. Cause who among those 23+ aged players would be fine with being a squad player?
This made me chuckle 😀he isn't going to be thinking about adding further MFs regardless how much I protest
