Grealish would cost us in excess of 80mill, so won't be on our radar.

His workrate this season is massively improved, as others have said, he has free reign to go where he wants & the likes on Konta, McGinn do the shovel work for the team

The cost is an absolute non-starter, as I have said elsewhere I wonder if Elliott is/could be developed to play this role in future (it's a few years away at least though...)

Booby has been brilliant for us but at the end of the day this has gone on too long. We simply can't carry a non scoring striker no matter what else he brings to the side. Everton openly saying that they stifled Salah and Mane and let the chances fall to Bobby knowing he'd probably miss. Hopefully with Jota back soon we can be more unpredictable again. But for next season we have to go balls deep for a Haaland or a Mbappe.

Well, just think of him as an advanced midfielder then. His scoring record is better that the other creators.

My choice would be Haaland. Big & strong so can make use of the billion crosses we put in! Can provide for Mane & Salah and vice versa for him. Good on the ball so can score too!

Will be a high fee but 100% will be worth it if we go on to win more trophies!

Think that 1 signing will sort us out again. Virg will be back & hopefully to pre injury standards. Gomez back and again hopefully up to standards once he gets into his stride. Will need a good 3rd Choice instead of Matip. We’ll also need a solution for the 3rd midfield role, Hendo & Fab are 1st choice. Maybe it will be Thiago next season playing in a functioning side so gives Jones another year to establish himself as the more regular 3rd choice. So thats 4 for the 3 spots. If Shaq stays that’s 5 & if Gini leaves, we’ll need that replacement.

He's also everyone else's choice and therefore he's not coming to Liverpool to play in the Europa League.

Did the Everton players say that?

They've kind of spoiled it for other PL teams who were hoping to continue using this tactic while Klopp seemed to be the only person who couldn't see this. Now even Klopp will have been shocked that the truth was this blatant.

this is the potential reality.

Languishing on page 4, is it fair to say we may need an upgrade on Bobby? This might make for an interesting conversation given how popular he is.

[Shaggy]

I would bring in another striker but I don't think we need to (or will) sell Firmino.

[Scratch]

Nah, a good rest, a fully functioning midfield behind him and he will be back to being the Bobby we know; not a massive goal threat, but the glue that makes the front 2 tick and the leader of the forward press.

[Buzzo]

We need to be able to rotate and not have a huge drop in quality, so I agree, need someone, but also need to keep Bobby. Bobby wasa also tried out in the 10 position.

Look at City, they are effectively saying to their entire squad, dont expect to play every week. We have to try and compete with that!

[Doc_Piptorious]

Lautaro Martinez please.

Very high work rate, physical, quick, very good dribbler and good at holding up play and linking play, plus a decent finisher. Presses and harries players when Inter do not have the ball.

Probably a bit closer to Aguero in style but reminds me a little of Suarez in terms of his will to win at times (minus the biting)

Gini and Firmino two of Klopp's favourites. Also 'loved' by quite a few on this site

Anyway, yes we do need an upgrade or a change in formation. I don't think he should be first choice but he's too good to be on our bench (well, it would seem a waste for him (29 years old) to be on the bench).

[Rich]

The guy is an extravert - and needs an audience to perform. We need to keep him and see how he does next season.

I'd still look for another option up top though.
