The only thing Smith has is pace and crossing. The buy back clause is a bit pointless on this occasion.
Forgot which journalist but one of the reliable ones said Klopp is expecting one more signing now, which will surely be a left back?
Also re: the net spend point, I think you'll get some people moaning about that but in reality it's fantastic business this summer from FSG and Ayre. We've got all of Klopp's targets (who's evidently happy with FSG given he signed a new contract and commended them in his latest interview) and got rid of deadwood and still kept a relatively low net spend. FSG haven't always got it right but this summer is an example of how to run a football club the right way.
I would've liked another midfielder but I have a theory that Klopp might be being patient with Dahoud. It's obvious how much he likes him and I think it might be like when he decided not to bid any higher for Teixeira in January and wait for Gotze (which didn't happen). It's virtually impossible to buy Dahoud this summer as Gladbach will not replace him with anyone better, have Champions League football and Dahoud doesn't exactly want to leave.
I'm still pretty optimistic for the new season now.
Karius
Clyne-Matip-Lovren-new LB*
Wijnaldum-Can
Mané-Firmino-Coutinho
Sturridge
*Amavi, Hector, Willems or Wendell
In away matches and games against bigger teams I'd go 4-3-3 with Can, Grujic and Wijnaldum in midfield and Firmino, Coutinho and Sturridge up top.
Having Wijnaldum, Mane, Firmino, Coutinho and Sturridge on the pitch at the same time absolutely guarantees a plethora of goals. None of our midfielders come close to Wijnaldum's goal record (if he plays there which Klopp said is a possibility) and it took Lallana 2 seasons to get the same number of total goals + assists as Mané got last season alone.
