Any guesses as to Sturridge's thoughts in that pic?

The fat burner is on the back burner.....

Really looking forward to Wed, the squad is again taking shape nicely with key players returning.

Can being available and likely to start is immense. Himself and Milner (who is in great form) at CM negate the need for Lucas to start ahead of Toure & Lovren.

Lovren seems rejuvenated lately and the maligned by some Toure isn't looking like a 35 year old. We don't have much to worry about at CM or CB imo.

Clyne you'd expect to be as consistent as ever on the right, Moreno unless he's targeted should be fine with Milner and a CB covering when he attacks the flank.

That 6 and Mig starting mean the other four are Coutinho, Lallana, Firmino and Sturridge, unless Henderson starts alongside Can in which case Milner might get the no ahead of Lallana.

I'd prefer to see Henderson on the bench though, don't think he can offer anything over Can or Milner in this game.

Mignolet having an "episode" is my biggest worry, possibly my only one really.

Heading into the summer, it's GK, CM & striker to replace Benteke & Balotelli are the must haves.

I reckon he's happy out, chance of two up top if Seville go ahead and we need to get adventurous.

Luis Alberto.

Apparently, he's looking forward to coming back to fight for his place under Klopp next season.

Probably in the same way Benteke is.

Good news about Loris Karius even though I'm a bit underwhelmed. I got a text saying Liverpool had signed Karius Lloris this morning and I thought Karius was a spellcheck mistake for Hugo:(

I used to be with it, but then they changed what *it* was. Now what I'm with isn't *it*, and what's *it* seems weird and scary to me.

I know we might have an issue at CB depending how things work out in the next few weeks, but signing Richard Keogh from Derby is not the answer.

Looks a bit like Joe Allen before he turned into Jesus.

I don't know jack **** about Karius but just glad that we're working on getting our business done early. The earlier these players get integrated into the squad the better.

Its is Jonas Hector, that seems to have gone quiet though. Chilwell from Leicester City is the most recent link for LB

Dejan Lovren has been left out of the Croatia squad, that's good news for bedding in a new defence for the beginning of the season.

Isn't he only a teenager? He's hardly going to displace Moreno next season.

Interesting! Certainly helps with the bedding in process if he were to join us.

I presume he'd also know Can pretty well from going through the youth ranks.

<edit> actually it seems himself an Can were on different international youth cycles because of their birth months, despite both being 22. Still, a countryman there the same age can't hurt.

A couple of 22 year old German hearttrob's with fantastic hair let loose in Liverpool. What could go wrong!

We'll have some unreal talent coming through the youth ranks in about 15 or 16 years!

Looks like the search for a left back is on going ...

Klopp eyes swoop for Leeds defender (Daily Express via Official website)

Liverpool have set their sights on Leeds defender Charlie Taylor.

That is according to Football Insider, who claim the Reds are lining up a move for the 22-year-old this summer as they look to sign a new left-back.

Taylor is about to enter the 12 months of his contract at Elland Road and Leeds are reportedly willing to sell him this summer to avoid losing him on a free next year.

Celtic's Kieran Tierney was thought to be Liverpool's priority target, but the Scottish club revealed last week that they're looking to tie him down to a new and improved deal.

“Kieran has three years left after the summer,” chief executive Peter Lawwell said. “He’s done brilliantly well and normally when that happens we’ll sit down with them and try to reward them.

“We’ll do that with Kieran and look to extend his contract. I’m sure that’ll happen over the summer. The kid wants to stay and we’re eager for him to stay.”

Liverpool are also said to be keeping tabs on Leicester's Ben Chillwell, Lorient’s Raphael Guerreiro, PSV Eindhoven’s Jetro Willems and Cologne’s Jonas Hector.

No mention of Cresswell in there, from Klopp's perspective, he'd possibly cost too much considering the premium on English players.

GK: Loris Karius (In talks)
CB: Matip (signed)
CM: Grujic (signed), Zielinski (In talks apparently)
AM: Goetze (target)

It's crazy that we have all this lined up by the middle of May!

Do people think we'll go for a striker?

If all four strikers that we have are happy to be used as a squad then I think we are very strong in that area, Sturridge, Origi, Benteke and Ings. I think that is what Klopp has been trying to say too with regard Sturridge in that for Klopp there is no number 1 stirker, they all are there to be used as Klopp sees fit.

I don't see Benteke fitting in, he needs to be one of a two player forward line and how likely are we to see that? Sturridge, Ings, Origi and Firmino are all more adaptable.

Bayern Munich's Mario Gotze would fit well at Liverpool - Roberto Firmino (ESPN)

Roberto Firmino says Bayern Munich midfielder Mario Gotze would fit in well at Liverpool.

Gotze, 23, has been rumoured to be leaving the Bundesliga champions and has found it difficult to make regular appearances for the club since transferring from Borussia Dortmund, where he played under current Reds boss Jurgen Klopp, in July of 2013.

One of those speculated destinations is Liverpool, where Firmino, who moved to the club from Hoffenheim last summer, has helped the Anfield side to a berth in Wednesday's Europa League final, as well as an unsuccessful appearance in the League Cup decider at Wembley earlier this year.

The Brazilian midfielder told Bild: "Gotze I still know well from my time in Germany, when I played with Hoffenheim against Borussia Dortmund and Bayern.

"He has incredible qualities in attack. He would fit in well with us and will surely help us with his class also."

Liverpool will face two-time defending champions Sevilla in the Europa League final in Basel, Switzerland on Wednesday.

Of the match, the 24-year-old Brazilian said: "We have worked over the entire season so hard and deserve this final.

"But Sevilla is probably the most difficult opponents we could have faced. But we have beaten Dortmund and we won't hide.

"In Basel we have to deliver our maximum again."

Maybe Bobby already knows Mario is on the way!!
