We should go for Lemar, change our system into 4-2-3-1 and make a swap deal with Pool for Coutinho in winter or summer.

If it wouldn't work, we would have:
1. 4231 which doesn't suit us
2. a player who didn't click even in the new system
3. an overpaid player who doesn't fit nor in 433 and 4231, and we would need to buy a new 100-150M guy in the next summer either way

Don't you think 4-2-3-1 would fit us better given the squad we have right now? Sure, 3 attacking forwards behind Suárez are probably too offensive, but we haven't got a single mid in our squad who is able to control the game.

No they didnt.

He is a better player than Lemar who you seem to want them to spend 100m on.

160m for Coutinho was worth over paying for as he is a brilliant player.

He is a very good player, but he isn't worth 100m let alone 160. PSG have distorted this transfer window with their crazy prices. You only aggressively went after coutinho after you lost Neymar, so how has he got so much better mid season? You lost a vital player, and had 200m+ in your pocket, so people will ask for alot.

Busi has been controlling the game more and more and his range of passing has increased.

What he lacks is any pace and if left exposed is a liability.

Potentially Paulinho to do a bit of the donkey work and hunt as a pair with Busi could work.

I know maybe being far too hopeful on Paulinho though.

He is worth 100m in this market before Neymar transfer.

Would never have got him for 100m before Ney left,

There is so much money in England they dont need to sell. Especially teams in situation Liverpool were in.

He had that one good game against Sevilla last season though and yet Lucho chose to play Gomes instead of giving him more chances.

He might have played well in midfield once but he's always been much better on the wing. Valverde was able to recognize that instantly. The only problem for him as far as the wings are concerned is he's not quite playing on the same level as Deulofeu and Dembele is in another class to him overall.
