The odd cup game?

Well, he is either very confident or delusional. In times gone by (without cancerous agents), most young players would see the benefit of joining a team like Brighton whilst they're his age. Playing regular games at the top level.
Now you have CJTC agents and their parents receiving £1m for a season (Abraham), so their untried princesses can learn their trade.
It's all wrong. It really is.

Moreno will go, but as you say they still have cover everywhere, with Trent A-A as backup to Clyne.

It seems these young prospects,just have no chance to play regularly for the top clubs.Gomez will IMO never,get to play for Liverpool as first choice,i reckon he needs to realize this,as Liverpool etc ,just go out and buy Van Dijk etc........Brown and Gomez only chance is to establish themselves at clubs like ourselves,with permanent moves,not loans,until they become irresistible to the top teams,as finished articles.
Written off he's coming from moment Koop says wants to look at him . He's a very good player so he will want him. I don't think he a wants to come here and b Liverpool want him out anyway .
All noises Point to no and have done for weeks .
Hope not pinning loads on this like we appeared to with Abraham

I read something a few days ago that Gomez wanted to stay and fight for his place, all very admirable but..... This is where Klopp needs to be a manager rather than a coach, as others have said, he is way down the pecking order at Liverpool, he should be told to go on loan, prove yourself for a year, then when you come back you are in a position to be first choice.
I wonder if this is why the Izzy Brown deal is taking so long, maybe weve been waiting on this outcome incase we need Tomori on loan again instead.

To be honest, I don't really see him playing that many games for us. He might as well play League Cup games for Liverpool as make the odd sub appearance here.

Not seen such Bravery!
We need a 9th defender, maybe Tomori is a more realistic target ?

Very true, back up here or back up to the back up's at Liverpool, he would probably get more game time here and possibly, if he plays a blinder, keep the shirt.
All if's and maybe's though, stay at liverpool, probably wont make the 25, but as you say there are cup games and training everyday in front of Klopp. Maybe make the 25 in February.

If true another chunk of wasted time. Onto the next target quickly please
Whos koop?
He has signed a new contract at Liverpool. http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/spor...ew-liverpool-deal-12516125?service=responsive
I think he will get opportunities in the various Cups for Liverpool and he will not count in their 25. He wants to stay at Liverpool.

Albion tinted glasses, I think. Gomez is excellent and would almost certainly end up being first choice IMO.

Told Liverpool he doesn't want to go to Brighton on loan and wants to stay and fight for his place, according to the BBC site today
That looks like another one of our targets gone.

Here is the article the BBC gossip section quotes: http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/joe-gomez-wants-stay-liverpool-13366964
It's clear that Gomez is Liverpool's 4th choice centre back currently and is saying the right things to ingratiate himself with the fans and the Klopp. But it's also clear that if Van Dijk (or another CB) signs, he is off and probably to us.
I like the 'impressed against Palace' bit. That makes him special to me.

That was before Van Dijk told Southampton he didn't want to play for them.
If and when Van Dijk does join Liverpool, that will push Gomez down the pecking order. Plus they signed another defender yesterday in Robertson, again another position where Gomez can play.
Come the end of the transfer window when Gomez hasn't been selected in the match day squad for the first batch of Prem games for Liverpool, I think he will reconsider his loan options.

If we're basing the "he doesn't want to go on loan" on that article and it's quotes then that's a very weak link.
His quotes are what any footballer would say, i.e. I'm trying to force my way into the managers plans, im training hard, my aim is to break into this team.
If it is made clear to him that his best chance to impress Klopp is to go get first team football at a PL team then he will go out on loan.

We'd have to give him plenty of first team game time. I think Klopp / LFC insist on this when they loan out.
That's a leap in logic. Don't think it would mean that at all. At the moment, he says he wants to stay at Anfield and fight for his place. If it becomes clear that he's not going to get any first team opportunities and he's got anything about him, then he may start to think about going on loan far more positively.
