Come on, it was clear that they were more obvious upgrades on Lovren and Karius.
If you look at our squad it's lacking in the forward areas, can you think of obvious upgrades who will definitely transform our team who play on the left and the right? Even Oliseh at the moment I wouldn't call someone like that.
The only player for me who moves the needle would be someone like Eze and even then I don't think we actually need him to transform our midfield.
Obvious upgrades on Lovren and Karius didn't take much. I don't remember think that Van Dijk was going to be one of the most dominant CBs of his generation and I had no fucking clue who Allsion was.
I will say that Van de Ven already impresses more than Van Dijk did in his first Lierpool season though and Vicario can definitely reach Allisson levels.
It's definitely in the forward spots they need to find a game changer and in the Ange system that probably has to be a wide forward. I'm with you on Olise but Eze is similar imo. I really like both but they aren't game changers.
What they need to find is a player in the WF spots who can decide games on their own and impact games even when they don't because defenders need to be aware of them at all times. In form that is a Leao/Kvara type. Can we find one that is just about to explode that you and me don't think is obvious right now? Well, that's why Lange gets paid 6 figures and watches football for a living.
