A while ago but the point is, if we knuckled down and accesed out options and properly scouted players we will almost certainly find a good fit somewhere, Klopp basically built his great team using that method. Furthermore I have got a lot of faith Kai can make that role his own so I'm not half as desperate for a marquee striker as others.

Can the club suddenly pull one out of the hat this summer? 2 minutes ago, NikkiCFC said: Alonso say what you want was big success here. Wouldn't consider Alonso to be an unknown considering he had played for Bolton and Sunderland before we bought him from Fiorentina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can build it around one player like Spurs have done with Kane or you can build a more all-rounded team. I know which one I prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the front 3 turned up and then we had Alonso and Azpi as the wingbacks. We didn't even create any chance of note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
