Liverpool: Sign Lovren, Move For £8m Meyer And Look To Offload This Midfield Misfit

Liverpool suffered heartache at the back end of last season after looking likely to win the Premier League trophy for the first time. Brendan Rodgers had the Reds firing on all cylinders but their feeble backline cost them dearly, and Manchester City won gold. A few tweaks will have to be made this summer ahead of next season, so here is how I would play it if I was in charge.

Going back to the defence, I would look to sign Dejan Lovren from Southampton. Liverpool may have already wrapped up the transfer of Rickie Lambert and be on the trail of Adam Lallana, but I think Lovren would be the most important of the three.

He is a natural leader and would shore the defence up no end.

The next person I would move for is Max Meyer of Schalke, who the Express are reporting is an £8 million target. He really is an exciting playmaker and can play anywhere in attack, so would naturally fit in at Anfield.

He is still only 18 but he scored six goals in the Bundesliga last season and created 39 opportunities for his side.

Last but not least I would like to see Joe Allen offloaded. Yes he improved a lot last season but I still think he is a level below our first team midfielders and he slows down our play too much.

Liverpool fans, do you agree?

Agreed, but full back positions and the right side still need to be improved.

Your a joke. Nice grabbing headline grub

I think Allen will come good, has improved and like Henderson I think the price tag took some getting used to. I like Lovren and I would add Caulker to that. If Moreno comes in that could give us a young and strong back 4 of Flanaghan, Lovren, Caulker and Moreno.

Meyer sounds good and may be a more cost effective option instead of Shaqiri, although I would like to see Tello come in also, 2 players for the price of 1.

Finally lets get Sanchez, that would give us some serious quality with a bag full of youth and potential.

Do you lie to your mother to ?

I agree we could use Lovren. Meyer? Admit I don't know anything about the player. I disagree with off loading Joe Allen though as we may need him to come in and keep possession to perhaps kill off a game. Not to mention we just need more able bodies to absorb the increased amount of games we face with CL football now in the frame. YNWA.
