yes, I saw those reports today that the club feels Hector is over-valued at 20 million....and thus are not interested.
maybe Milner is a fall-back for now - maybe Klopp cannot find another left-back that he is keenly interested in, at this moment in time.
I would have thought a priority.
Moreno is not good enough - end of story. I'm not even convinced that he is good enough as cover.
I'd have preferred to see Moreno sold this Summer and replaced by a proper left back. With Brad Smith also being sold, I don't understand weakening the squad, even though £6m was a good fee for Smith, it wasn't worth weakening the squad so much for a mere £6m. We should be seeing 2 left backs arrive.
It's one thing moving Milner there if necessity dictates during a match, but to play him there for more than that, or see him as a second choice left back, is asking for trouble.
I just don't understand the attitude of paying £50m+ on Mane and Wijnaldum, yet 'making do' to the degree we seem to be with the left back position.
As we've always said, strong teams are built on strong defences, and for that you have to have quality in each position. I'm not saying spend record breaking amounts, but buy quality all the same.
I don't know anything about Chilwall, and have never seen him play, but considering that Arsenal bid for him in January, and we've bid for him this Summer, he must have something going for him. Klopp obviously rates him above Smith, and good enough to challenge Moreno, so I'd rather have seen us up our £7m bid to £8m + £2m in add ons, getting somewhere near what Leicester wanted, when we received the £6m offer for Smith. I know we don't want to be paying over the odds (any more than we already do), but sometimes a priority or approach has to change if a situation alters, and therefore requires it.
Holding on to a lead is just as important as obtaining that lead in the first place.
