Liverpool supporters seem divided about the prospect of signing Mario Gotze.
A great number would be ecstatic about the Bayern Munich star making a €50m switch to Anfield – as reported in Bild – and linking up with his former mentor Jurgen Klopp.
But others aren’t quite so sure. They don’t see the merit in splashing out a fortune on a position that is already well-stocked with the likes of Adam Lallana, Philippe Coutinho and Robert Firmino.
Could Liverpool do with a World Cup-winning playmaker? Or would he just clutter up the place?
We have the pros…

Sturridge
Coutinho Gotzë. Firmino
Might as well hand us the 2016/17 BPL trophy now.— Dem (@BDD_LFC) January 8, 2016

Mario Gotze to #LFC
Yes please !
It’s well known he is Klopps golden boy that’s for sure.
Him and Xhaka would be epic signings 👌

Tough to get excited about Gotze..has struggled to maintain his fitness, NOT the player we need and I honestly believe Coutinho's superior.

Not sure why we'd need Gotze. I mean, he's top class but.. I think we have more pressing need in other areas. (unless we sell Lallana ofc)
