Yeah, though I’d say the closest question would be, could we find someone who isn’t necessarily “only” a false 9 like Bobby (he’s really only a false 9 or single 10), but can play centrally better than Origi did (when he did, because he was used on the left a lot of the time he came on).
When you look at it, apart from Salah, we could maybe really do with a proper striker who Klopp judges good enough to play centrally more than Origi. Especially in games when we struggle to finish off chances, but we create a lot of openings.
Maybe we need someone else in our forward roster apart from Salah who attacks those balls. Mane and Jota are fantastic because they can both combine at high level but also go in behind and get their very good number of goals.
So I’m looking at possibly a player who does have his weak points, isn’t a complete type of player, but in some off the ball/linking areas he’s good enough for Klopp to put him on or start him centrally (and with Salah still being on the right side of him).
Someone who puts his qualities on a little pile much clearer, more convincing and more consistent than Origi, who is also a better finisher, too. It would make sense to me because Origi is the next one we should move on.
The other alternative would be to get maybe a right sided attacker and then look to sell one of Shaqiri/Minamino (and that could depend on the market and who attracts more interest). I think Elliott will get a similar or better loan than at Blackburn.
