If there is one area where we do not need to strengthen it must be in central defense.
So this of course is me suggesting us buying a central defender.
Before you go all crazy please let me explain. I don't think both of Skrtel and Agger will be here come next Season - with the latter looking the most likely to go seeing as Rodgers has spend loads on Sakho last Summer.
That leaves us with say Skrtel, Sakho, Toure (getting older) and Illori and perhaps Kelly. However I don't think Kelly will be a CB anytime soon if ever at all and Illori, despite the reviews on here is completely unknown for me. Could be beasty - could be Hobbsy.
Erik Sviatchenko is not your average footballer - more an intellectual artsy type - but he could turn into a quite brilliant one. He has got it all in his locker in my opinion.
Having turned 22-years-old a few month back he is not particular young and he is still playing in Denmark which perhaps doesn't bode too well you think.
For me however is in the same bracket talent-wise as former teammate Winston Reid (now West Ham) and FC Copenhagen's Bryan Oviedo (now Everton).
He is strong as an ox, he's got great balance, he is fast and he is a very capable footballer all-round. He is also very strong in the air despite only hitting around 1.85 cm. Fearless in the way he addresses the physical aspect of the game, not unlike Sakho really so that part of the Prem certainly won't be an issue for him.
A very clever lad on and off the pitch who would've played outside Denmark by now if it wasn't for a lengthy injury spell last Season and this will defo be his last in the Superliga, should he not get severely injured again.
I believe he'd be available at around £3M and considering what caliber this amount would normally fetch of players this could be an absolutely steel and definitely a buy of great value. As a 3rd/4th choice back-up with potential to improve rapidly when being trained and tested alongside the best.
Happy New Year all 🙂
