Slot's Summer Signing Suppositions

[DerKrampus]

The season's done - Klopp is on his way out and we have a new manager on the way!

Based on your limited knowledge of how he likes his team to play and our current squad, who do you think we will/should sign to improve the team?

I think we should look at Manu Kone again - he's had a great season and is ready for his move.

It won't be Slots signings.

It'll be Edwards and Hughes summer signings and Slot, as.his job title suggests, will have to coach them.

Slot gets a major say on transfers at Feyenoord, there's no way he won't get any say at Liverpool.

[frank the tank]

He will be part of the committee

I think the summer signings woll depend on what happens with some of our current players.

Van Dijk, Trent and Salah will be into their final year of their contracts. Matip will leave on a free - along with Thiago.

There might also be questions around the futures of some other players - Nunez, Diaz are two that spring to mind. Someone mentioned Alisson too a few days ago and while i think that was likely to be bull****, you never know. If he had a proposal to head to, say Real Madrid, then the time when Jurgen leaves might be a good point for him.

I hope Virgil stays as i think he can probably help the mew manager. I hope Trent signs a new deal as i think we would struggle to sign someone as good - but if he doesn't then I hope his departure is prompt to be honest. To have some speculation drag on the whole summer would be annoying.

Apart from that, i think there might only be 2 or 3 arrovals...... Maybe a defender to replace Matip, possibly another midfielder and possibly a forward. The club will want the new manager to assess the squad

[danperkins]

I can see Virg leaving and looking for a new challenge, Trent too. Mo is definitely gone imo. Alisson is the one I really worry about losing.

[spud_gun]

I think the Dutch connection may see Virg stay for at least another season.

He can be the bridge between Klopp and Slots teams

[Exiled_red]

Not sure who we will bring in but given the performance levels due to tiredness and the injuries we typically get we need a large squad, for me the likes of Konate, Szoboszlai, Jota aren't capable of two games a week, we shouldn’t be replacing them but we need quality players who can fill in the gaps

It looks like Matip, Thiago and Adrian will all leave on frees so there will be spaces.

Also wouldn't be surprised if Salah, Kelleher and TAA leave for various reasons,could be another fairly big turnover of players if not a full on rebuild

[Charly]

We need to rebuild the entire spine of the team. I think we have a good squad on paper.

We need a new:

Striker (not sure Nunez cuts it, and will Jota fit into the system)
Right Winger (replace Salah)
DM - if we play with a double pivot
Centre back (replace Matip)
Right Back (if Trent goes)
Left back (perhpas Owen Beck can step up)

[Mark79]

Apparently Slot is a big fan of wingers and will often play as many as 3 per game (2 starters and a sub). He’ll rotate/sub them regularly because of the workload required of them in his system.

Given that Diaz is the only out and out winger in our squad and the question marks over him and Salah staying, I wonder if we may see at least 2 coming in this summer.

[Kenneth]

Salah has got to go this summer imo. Paying a fading player 300k a week so he can leave for nowt next summer has to be a no-no, particularly with his ego being greater than his value on the pitch.

He is playing 5-d football

[peterbread]

He should bring his Feyenoord u-18 coach to teach our forwards how to finish and piss off the Mancs and Arsenal with it. Robin van Persie.

I'm in agreement with you now. The weekend's touchline behaviour notwithstanding, I think it's time to go as I think we can blossom as a team if we had another Diaz on the right wing. Maybe Gakpo left and Diaz on the right is the answer? Then we just need a new forward, perhaps Slot will promote Danns to the backup striker role?

Never heard of him.
