Go for it Skully...

He weighs more than all three of those, and is significantly taller than Kolo

What would you consider an ideal build for a CB?

Well I've seen him play many times and he gets bullied by big strikers and thats one of the reasons he got dropped by Ancelotti.
Kelly or Wisdom can be our 4th choice...
 
I'm happy with Toure and Agger with Skrtel as backup at the moment, wait till January/next summer for Papdopolous in my books. Toure has been a pleasant revelation.

No - get sakho in, the potential to be world class is there. Then get papa in the winter and you have 4 good to excellent CBs. It's too important a position (see Dmish's 'spine' assessment) to miss out on stars.
 
Sakho close to Liverpool move

resize
PSG are willing to listen to offers for defender Sakho, and Liverpool have stepped up their interest this week after losing Sebastian Coates to a long standing knee problem.
Sakho ticks all the boxes, and wants to move to Anfield, but the clubs are haggling over a fee. If they can agree in the next few days, this one will go through quickly.

I think this one will happen - either loan with option to buy or we'll buy him outright. He's got the potential to be a Coutinho like signing - young, hungry player that takes his chance.
 
At the very least, he'll challenge Agger for his starting place, competition which Agger could do with in his current form. At best, Sakho is a younger, bigger, left-footed Toure who could make the defense more dominant.

We either cash in on Agger or play him, anything else would be borderline crazy.

But why sell Agger? If Sakho comes in, we'll still have only three senior, proven and rated centre halves (Skrtel leaving is a matter of when). We can't expect Toure to keep up his form and fitness for the entire season at age 32, or expect Agger not to be injured for the same period.
 
So we could be getting more 'steel and grit' in defence ?

You say that because he's black?

Are we not in a position where we'd rather have £20M to spend on first teamers or tomorrows stars than "use" them on a back-up?

Doesn't Agger's fitness have to be 'managed' over the course of the season due to his injury-proneness? If that is indeed the case, then I wouldn't currently be confident of any of our other centre backs being able to adequately fill in on the left of central defence.
 
We need at least 3 top class CBs to get through the season. There is no point discussing who is going to replace who. Look at United or Chelsea, they use all kinds of combinations.

A better question to consider is whether Sktrel will be sold if Sakho is here. If Rodgers can also bring Illori then he should be able to sell Skrtel and loan out Wisdom.

But let's sign this lad first. That would be GREAT news.
 
Ehm.. what happened there??

I did not make a comment about anyone's color of skin so seriously, what's going on? I don't even know how to double quote like that...

Come on Ross, can't you turn down the trolling a bit?
 
Well, Spurs are about to wrap up a deal for Romanian defender Vlad Chiriches.

Maybe that's our transfer strategy -- wait for Spur to wrap theirs up first!
 
Sakho coming in will shake up the defence. Toure is doing the business and it may be Agger under threat. It will be great for the team. We need that type of competition for places so that there's no complacency.
 
@Liddellpool: #LFC have begun talks with Paris Saint-Germain over the signing of Mamadou Sakho, according to SportsDirect News
 
According to Barrett:

Liverpool have started talks to sign Mamadou Sakho, the Paris Saint-Germain centre centre. “We need to get a few players in and that will continue right up to the end of the window, the Liverpool manager said. “If we can do that, we’ll be happy.”
 
According to Di Marzio we're favourites and in pole position to sign him.
We've heard this before though without signing the player.
