Honestly I'm expecting very little activity from us outside of outgoings. If some of the right players are available though, we might make a move like we did with Alisson and Fabinho, but it sounds like we're really happy with the squad we have right now (hope it doesn't mean we fall behind while City tries to get even better)
quote:

Front line (7 total): Salah, Mane, Firmino, Divock, Brewster, (new guy and Harry Wilson?)
I'd throw Shaqiri up here and also keep in mind Ox could play on a wing if needed. I know it's not ideal, but we've also seen Milner, Gini, and Keita play on a sing also so I wouldn't be surprised if Klopp feels like that's enough options (they might not be great options, but they are options)
quote:

MF (8 total): Fabinho, Henderson, Gini, Ox, Keita, Shaqiri, Milner, Grujic
That's plenty of bodies for basically 6 spots, but I wouldn't count Shaq and I wouldn't be surprised to see Grujic leave or go back out on loan. Still, 6 bodies for 3 spots will probably be considered plenty by Klopp
quote:

Defense (8 total): Virgil, Matip, Lovren, Joe, Robbo, TAA, (2 additions, but its hard to say as Milner, Fabinho and Gini can all fill in if necessary)
Backup LB might be a need, but technically Gomez, Milner or Fabinho could cover. Again, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if this is left alone
quote:

Keepers (2 total): Alisson and Karius (I'd like to see him back)
Backup keeper might be one area we legit do need to address but we also have 2 youngsters that could compete for that role considering it would basically only include cup competitions

Not saying I agree with all of that and don't think we should try to strengthen, but Klopp has always been a "let me stick with the guys I have and get them better" as opposed to always just going out and throwing money at problems

If we did ride with the guys we have, I have no doubt they could still compete for the league and make a run in CL, but I'd like to see us try and capitalize on all of this positive momentum and really try to strengthen our bench with a couple of big signings.

I won’t lie, every time I have seen Grujic play next to any noticeable talent, his game is nearly elite. I would like to see him with the big squad.
