We'd also need someone like Pulisic imo who could come into the front line without there being much (if any) drop off in quality. We've been lucky over the second half of the season with injuries but we can't always rely on luck.
Jorginho, Pulisic and Lemar would cost a few bob but if you add that £50m that you are talking about to the Coutinho money that's been promised to Jurgen we can afford it.
Don't think that's very realistic yakka to be honest mate. Lemar would cost a fortune (I'm not even sure he's worth it) and we can't afford to strengthen every position with £100m players. We also probably will have to accept that most of Coutinho's money have already been spent on van Dijk, Keita etc.
Personally, I'd be happy with two £50m signings. Anything else, even someone like Pulisic, is a luxury for us IMO. Knowing us though, we'd probably just sign Doucoure and maybe one or two unknowns, keep the defence as it is and be told a familiar story about how "Karius is going to be like a new signing".
There was a little snippet the other week either in the Echo or the Mirror about Lemar and how gutted he was when his move here fell through last summer. He said he genuinely wanted to come here but we backed off when his price sky-rocketed after Arsenal threw their hat into the ring. He said he still wants to come here.
He hasn't had a stellar season so I don't think he'll be going for anything remotely near £100m this summer, plus after missing out last summer if Monaco continue to ask ridiculous money for him I could see him really kicking up a fuss, he won't want to miss the boat again.
I think we could get him for a reasonable price this summer (£60m-£70m).
Don't forget mate Jurgen said himself that he has been promised all the Coutinho money.
I'm expecting some serious significant signings by Klopp this summer, at least two, (Especially if qualifying for the champions league or even winning it), should attract some stellar names. After VVD and Salah coups, we are heading only upwards.
I would love our midfield to line up as keita, Lemar and Lallana /wjnaldum, next season, with the departure of Hendo and Can.
Tabloids on the LFC website keep suggesting we are close to netting Lemar!?
We need the creative types who can unlock defences and score 10-20 goals a season. Lemar and Keita fit the bill. Other than Lallana, the rest of our midfield are not really goalscorers.
Let's hope so.
