Aye he's always tried the midfield overload Barcelona thing failing to realise that Barca had Pique and the like at the back.

Very good question, but if Mourinho does really like him as a player he will at least feel included in the squad (reports of how clinical Mourinho can be in excluding players are already flying about).
Depay did look good vs lower european teams last season but vs EPL opposition he just needs some experience and belief I think
He recently rented Micah Richards' mansion so I guess he's staying.

Not sure on this signing, from our friendly tube it doesn't look like he can tackle standing on his feet. So expect plenty of bookings.
He loves a card. I made my opinion on the guy earlier in the thread but in short i think he's bang average.

Awesome, now for the love of Paisley, take that money and buy a goddamn left back !
Based on Klopp recent interview i highly doubt we will get the left back we need, he pointed out milner,klavan and clyne can play that position.
So to me gives impression he is going to try train Moreno into using his eyes and look at whats going on
Its silly imo..anyone "can" play in a position, technically even Moreno "can" play at left back. Should just buy someone, we have money, there are left backs out there, just slap the money on the table and be done with it.
He has been injured for what feels like forever, he got injured around same time as Ings did it was similar issue too but Gomez seems to be taking much longer to recover.
He did play at LB and did well in his brief appearance he was signed as a CB though.
It is i agree using "cover" and players who "can" for long term is not great, id rather have a solid LB who is only great at that one position, master of that instead of jack of all trades type.
Im not saying its bad to be flexible in football and play more than one role but imo you should always have 1 player who is just great at that one job
He's picked an achilles injury in his rehab. Theres been no time scale put on it but given the time he's been out I'd be surprised if we see him back fully fit before Christmas.
He done well at LB but being a right sided cm he wasn't comfortable when going forward on the left which goes against how Klopp wants our fullbacks to play.
As for buying a LB, as I've always suspected, Klopp made it crystal clear that he will only buy particular players that fit the exact profile he wants. He's not going to buy any old LB as a short term fix - if the player he wants isn't available then he'll work with who he's got.
