A quality centre back is more important for me than a CF.
Firstly Gomez isn't injured. Been fit for a while now. Obviously just not ready for the first team.
Also, if we want depth, moving on players from the positions that you are buying for makes little sense.
If they're happy to player bit part roles, Lucas, Sturridge and Moreno can all contribute next season.
mane....dont forget we will have lovren..matip..gomez for cb but only studge[always injured] and 1 other in origi; really need a proper cf first.
For me, Gomez is getting ready. To replace Milly and for Milly to move to midfield next season.

I was thinking he'd be good for a DM role in MF next season. He's disciplined and got a good head on his shoulders. Plus he's getting older.
I'd also be very surprised to see Gomez as a Left Back for us long term. He was ok there for the first few games of last season, but very limited going forward.
First stop is new keeper. Mig is going through that stage where we all think he's not that bad but he's only a moment away from dropping a clangger.
We need a new spine in summer.
-New keeper
-Centre back
-DM
mane...agree, but surely a lb too!!!
the way i c it we get a lb so milner can cover mf, gomez covers lb and cb and we also have a new lb and dm, up front we also have ings..new cf..origi and firms as a false 9.
A LB is definitely necessary. Moreno is clearly out of favour and will, in all likelihood, move on. I've always liked Rodriguez at Wolfsburg whenever I've seen him.
I'm not sure we'll buy a CB actually. Depending on how well Matip and Lovren do for the rest of the season and whether Klopp rates Gomez enough to be back up.
Milner I'm just not sure about. He's lack of calmness in possession is beginning to irritate me. Too many aimless punts up the field.
A CF is a certainty if Sturridge goes imo. A pacy wide forward similar to Mane would be great as well.
GK is a big question for me. How much faith does Klopp have in Karius? Another squad gk would be pointless so it would need to be a definitive number 1.
We definitely need a proper DM imo. Henderson does well there but I'd rather have him compete with Wij for the box to box role and get in a specialised DM.
the wolfsberg LB yes please..hes fkn amazing;i believw karius will be our no 1, just needs time.
Its only one game im not gonna go overboard cuz next week is another story. The players have to stop talking and get the consistency back from the early part of the season.
You guys should sign Kasper Schmeichel. Always rated him.
New keeper is a must for me.
If so inclined, I'd be willing to let Lucas go and sign a new CB. Alternatively, he could stay one more season while we see whether Gomez is up to it. Matip, lovren, Klavan and Gomez if he is good enough wouldn't be too bad.
Signing another top CB, even with the sale of Lucas would really push Gomez down the pecking order and his development would be in jeopardy. We could keep Lucas next season and decide whether to buy a new top CB in summer 2018, thus giving Gomez a great chance to cement a his place in the team.
In short, allow Lucas to leave and give his limited role and apps to Gomez, as understudy to Matip, lovren and Klavan. See how he does. Bit risky but the potential returns make it worthwhile for me.
No Love:
Both Lovren and Klavan are not good enough. Both have a big mistake in them and lapses in concentration.
Don't worry about Gomez progression. We need 3 top quality CBs. At the moment we only have 1.
3 centre backs
Which PL has 4 quality centre backs then Kash?
It's time for Lucas to go and be replaced and that it's for me at centre half. He's not mobile enough to play midfield for Klopp which is why he never plays there. He's too erratic at centre half to be relied upon.
Sign a top centre half to partner Matip and have Lovren, Klavan and Gomez as back up and we will be fine in that area.
