Fabinho and Keita are totally different players. And I think Liverpool should be aiming their sights a bit higher than midfielders who can "get by".

When you think you're fucked you're only about 40% fucked.

Thiago undoubtedly has far more ability than Fabinho, Henderson or Milner,that goes without saying.

However he's no spring chicken and he has taken a step down which would make you wonder if he sees it as just a money making move.hopefully he performs at the level we've seen him at for Bayern.

Thiago.
Pearce.
Nuff said?

Excellent signing. The ridiculous thing is we have signed a world class player, at his peak, from one of the biggest clubs in the world and current CL holders....for £20m!  We were that club for years....being picked off by Barca or Madrid....If we can keep Gini for this season you could see Fabinho covering the 4th CB spot as needed. Gini goes for free end of next season and we invest in a top class CB.

Maybe get some money in for Wilson and Gruijic to buy another WF....Sarr is the name being touted. Think he'll be the late in the window deal

Fabinho isn't up to it at centre back,or midfield for that matter. His main talents seem to be getting away with persistent fouling and falling over to win soft fouls.

Still need cover for Mane and Salah for sure. But apparently Watford are hoping for 40 million for Sarr, which I can't see Liverpool forking out.

I'd like to see another centre back for this season. Surely there's someone suitable, maybe late career, out there who'd be willing to come in and play 10-15 games in the hope of challenging for a trophy. Fabinho is superb in the defensive midfield role. Leave him there.

Have to agree. Different sort of player from Gini. And better legs than Milner. When he gets a run in the side he gets stronger as well. Would really like to see Gomez steady himself again, as I had big hopes that him and VVD would be the 1st choice centre pairing for a few years. Not so sure on that now unfortunately.

I would prefer Fab as Defensive MF. I am simply saying as a 4th Choice CB, if needed. VVD, Gomez and Matip are all excellent. I think it would be difficult to find someone to do what Lovren did last season so improvise

Bronco

Gomez is not a competent defender for a top 6 club. He makes mistakes far too often. Lovren,for all his flaws, was much better than Gomez ever will be.

Last resort though.

Maybe Klopp still has Steven Caulker's number. :P

And Caulker could provide cover for Firmino as well so win win.

Fabinho is as good as there is in his position. Liverpool hard to stop this year.

That's a top signing for Liverpool. If Gini stays who is the starting midfield 3?
