Having strengthened his squad by signing more than a few stars, Jurgen Klopp is still looking to reinforce his midfield department.
The Merseysiders are linked with midfield stars like Moussa Sissoko of Newcastle United and Anderson Talisca of Benfica.
As far as Talisca is concerned, reports suggest that the Reds are close to signing the Brazilian international from the Primeira Liga champions.
Sport Witness cite reports in the Portuguese media (O Jogo) claiming that a deal to sign the 22-year-old Samba star is done with Liverpool and Wolves for a fee of 20 million pounds. However, the report says that Liverpool are the priority.
The above mentioned fee is very low as compared to Talisca’s release clause (Daily Star) of 37 million pounds ($48.5 million).
Anderson is a versatile star who can play anywhere in the center/attacking midfield and also as a secondary striker if needed. He was not a regular starter for Benfica under the management of Rui Vitoria last season (6 league starts). Overall, in 34 games last season, he scored 9 goals and provided 1 assists.
In your opinion, do Liverpool really need Talisca?

No!
we dont need him at least for this season
this player is overvalued
just buy Marcelo Brozovic and Willems
We’ll soon have about ten players for four positions in midfield and barely a striker or left-back to our name! Try keeping ten players happy – when you take into account the egos these players have got – when many of them will play every third or fourth game!!!!
Mind you, I’d still go for Sissoko as he’d be the defensive midfielder we’ve been lacking since Alonso left!!!!!
As for this Benfica player, his stats don’t add up so let’s stop trying to buy every attacking midfielder ever to put football boots on!!!! Grotesquely overpriced with stats like his, sorry!!!!!
Mo Sissoko for me. If Lucas goes no specialist dm. Can is hollywood type and gets caught out as seen in the dortmund game. No need to panic if no right type of lb. Moreno will do. He creates the most in his position in europe and I have seen him getting in the tackles when the defense is split.
Can also got caught out against Sevilla. Worry no dm and also we lack creativity at times in the middle as Couts was a no show against Sevilla.
No set piece specialist be it corners or free kicks. Top four will be a struggle.
Sadio is one hell of a buy. May save Klopp & Buvac.
Dude I see the portuguese league A LOT!! I’m portuguese… And I can tell you Talisca is one of the worst players in Benfica… He has ZERO tactical knowledge, he has ZERO movement knowledge and he has no idea what’s his position… You idiots may call that versatile… HE’S NOT VERSATILE HE JUST HAS ZERO IDEA WHERE HE’S GOOD, because he’s bad in every position… I did not tought of Klopp has an idiot coach that let’s himself be manipualted by agents or even by playesr that play 2 or 3 big games well but the rest of them badly…
I can guarantee you if Talisca was good Benfica would enver sel him, Like I sai before if Liverpool buys TAlisca, they are being idiots and I’m done, I hate idiots…
HIRE SISSOKO he’s awesome, fuck Talisca he would be even worst than Markovic, Markovic is actualy an awesome player was just use in stupi positions by Rogers, he’s an attakcing miedfielr/secondary striker he’s awesome there, but I respect that LFC wants to sell/loan him. But Talisca is shit, either buy Sissoko or buy no one more for that position becuase LFC doesn’t even need it…
If SIssoko is bought it’s one of the best buys LFC can make if Talisca is bought then everyone should be actually done with that shitty owners and tell them to f*ck off.
Liverpool now has enough attacking options! Now the team needs balancing with addition of a proven Defensive Midfielder and Left Full Back to cover the defensive department! Klopp act accordingly as defense has been a major problem at LFC
I’drather go for sissonko than talisca who has just started six games come on klopp do not just follow every fool
we will become champions with all these household names we need sissoko and hector at left back and we will be fine for the rest of the seasons plenty forwards and midfield options to date, we have no european this year so our team should be all fit and ready and willing to wear the red shirt with pride. klopp will do well if he gets those guys please
No,no,no,my dear klopp, just focus on our full backs and defensive midfielders, i think if you go for Hector(Fc Koln) or Willems(PSV) are better options than Ben Chilwell and then go for J.Mario(sporting cp) , M.Sissoko or arther M.Kovacic are better altternatives than TALISCA .so please, do not do sign because ther no where he can fit in our squad especially among the available attacking midfielders like coutinho,firmino,milina,lallana,hendo,can, mane,wijnaldum,grujic etc among those there is no one he can bench or start ahead of.so with talisca, i can’t see him in liverpool shirt twice in a season if he joins with lack of european football, means less games likely to be played.
we need an out and out striker not another midfielder!! If not here’s
. My team……
. STURRIDGE
. COURTINO. FIRMINO. SANE
. GREJIC WILJINDUM
. MORENO. LOVERN. KAVLAN. CLYNE
. KARIUS
We need sharp wingers…that’s all
sorry MANE not sane……how could I forget such a great player !!
Personally speaking lets stop picking the bones of relegated clubs,pay for a decent left back as our Midfield is a tad over crowded to say the least.We need a quality striker as sturridge is not going to go all season uninjured.We buy youngsters to bring on from the academy,well lets give one or two a try,there is nothing to lose in trying and that is what they are there for.20 years ago almost 50% of our players were home grown talent,Robbie Fowler,Michael Owen,Jamie Redknapp and so on.This all went wrong when Graham Souness brought all his has beens from Rangers and since then we have never recovered,just my view.
