The reason why this is pertinent is because a Chilean publication, in good authority, has lead us to believe yesterday, that Juergen Klopp was over at a Copa America fixture, the one where Chile took on Argentina, to exclusively gauge the compatibility of Gary Medel in his boisterous Liverpool side.
Now, as much Liverpool fans historically love the idea of a player who leaves it all on the pitch, and more exclusively the idea of actually having a specialised defensive midfielder in their ranks, after a time-gap that seems as gaping as Charlie Adam’s front teeth (this will never get old) – it seems a bit odd.
