Rob Gutmann is joined by Josh Sexton, ESPN’s Glenn Price, and Johnny Gibson making his ‘Gutter’ debut.
In the wake of the Leicester debacle it seems very important that we get back on the transfer horse.
Feels like a season that is petering out, and one that will leaving us with more questions than answers

Finally some gutter! Was contemplating canceling the subscription. Keep it up guys!
Of course there’s players that can be sold in the summer to raise funds.
Sturridge, Sakho, Moreno, Markovic, Stewart, Randall, Flanno etc etc.
Could easily raise £50mil.
IMO we need a reliable keeper, left back, centre back, defensive midfielder, striker and another wide player in order to compete. I fully appreciate getting all of these is unlikely. Some bargains are gonna have to be sought to leave money for elsewhere.
Teirney from Celtic or Taylor from Leeds look interesting for leftback if you don’t want to look at the likes of Rodriguez or Kolasanic.
Lovren shouldn’t be any more than first sub option centre back. He can play either side. We need a new leftsided centreback.
A defensive midfielder is required. Can Grujic fill that hole?
Brandt seems to be a target for wide left.
Who knows could fill that 20+ goal a season striker role?
Lacazette?
Love this show, I was surprised when it was mentioned we have only a few moves to make in terms of selling to create some extra finances. After the last two windows and selling Ilori we are about 7 mill in profit and if you add this to potential selling Mignolet, Randell, Moreno , Leiva, Stewart, Sturridge, Sakho, Markovic Brannagan, Flanagan , Wisdom could free up around 80 mill.
Not huge when we need a quality keeper, centre back, left back, defensive mid, wide player and striker at least, but we are not starting from scratch.
Think Klopp will spend and the owners having given him a long contract will back him but its important to remember what he took over 18 months ago, a massive squad some on big contracts and a lot of mediocrity which will take time to sort through. The vast majority of us were delighted when Klopp became our manager, but compared to many of his counterparts he is not a massive spender, he is not the type to spend 100 mill on a player and so talk of Aubameyang and alike is extremely unlikely especially if you consider we are by no means a cert for the top 4.
For me our scouting has been for a while way of and needs to have a much better strike rate to enable Klopp to have the tools he needs to mount a concerted challenge on the title.
Thanks Lads
Llorente would be a great back up plan.
