Afternoon.
I wanted to get your opinions on this.
Wilfried Zaha is a very talented winger. If we are to challenge on all front next season I think we definitely need some back up for Mane and Salah. Zaha is more than adequate IMO. He can play on both sides and has in some occasions played as the Striker. This summer I can see Tottenham go in for him and I am hoping Liverpool can sign him before they do. He would cost around £40-50m.
Adrien Rabiot is another player I quite like and can see him being available this summer. Very technical and can play that 6 role. Very good dribbler of the ball and quite mobile, can play box to box too. Thiago would be a dream but I doubt we'd have any chance. Can see City all over him.
This summer I believe Rabiot and Zaha are the two signings we should definitely make.
(Pulisic is also another who could be a great signing).
Thoughts?
Wilfried Zaha To Liverpool

GK if we can get a top class one. If (and it’s a big of) either Alisson or Oblak are available then we should be interested.
I think we’ll be in the market for another CM. Jean Michael Seri seems to want to leave Nice but I’ve never really seen him play, just read the reports on him. Kevin Stootman we’ll get to see soon enough and he’d be a like for like (‘ish) replacement for Can - big, strong deep lying player with good passing ability.
If there’s a top level CB available then again, I think we’d be interested.
And the replacement for Coutinho. Lemar has to be favourite due to our interest last year and Monaco’s fall from grace since.
I’d be happy if we signed Zaha but I can’t see it if they want £50m+. Not when the likes of Draxler and Pastore are (allegedly because you can never tell) available and would probably cost a fraction of the price.

Lemar is the most over-rated player on this website.
Everyone seems to want him and whenever I have seen him he's barely been involved in the game. Think i might have only seen him twice though

1 poster said he’d prefer him to Zaha and 1 poster said they liked him. It’s not exactly over the top praise is it?!
Most people are suggesting he’s most likely because we bid for him last summer, but that’s very different to thinking he’s a world beater.

Would cost minimum £40m, only has 7 goals and 2 assists in the league this season and is entering his prime so would want to play every game if fit. Can't really see it happening to be honest.
I think a younger option from the Bundesliga like Bailey, Brandt or Pulisic is more likely, if Klopp decides Wilson, Woodburn, Ojo and Kent aren't ready to play back up to Salah and Mane.

No thanks. Would cost way to much money for backup. We need to bring Woodburn and Wilson through. They have a higher ceiling of potential. Also I love the fact that Liverpool actually give youngsters a proper chance. DON'T get me wrong I think Zaha is good but I believe he just looks even better in a very poor team.

Dont see us paying 100mil for a backup, rarely plays central, best from the wing.

He wouldn't be backup, he'd take Mane's place.

Maybe they'd rotate? Mane is great but inconsistent. You would spend £100m to sit him on the bench.

Well ofcourse, he'd rotate with the front 3, he would still get a ton of gametime, just dont see us spending 100mil for it
