Liverpool Transfers: 6 Players Brendan Rodgers Must Consider This Summer

5. Dedé

Dede 2 Here's another centre back that I believe would fit BR's mould for a defender. Dedé is a Brazilian defender currently plying his trade for Vasco Da Gama. This player has a decent eye for a pass and is very quick for a centre back. The fact he can pass well and is comfortable in possession whilst in his own half will definitely make him attractive to BR. The fact he is still playing in Brazil is a worry however. Why have none of the big boys already picked him up like Luiz and Dante? His inexperience at the top flight may count against him here when compared to Shawcross but I believe he'd still be worth £8-10 million. He'd probably be cheaper than Shawcross anyway - with Ryan being English.
