Liverpool fans are in two minds over the prospect of signing Daryl Janmaat.
The Dutch defender has been linked with a move to Anfield on a free transfer as the Reds try to overcome a defensive injury crisis.
Joe Gomez's knee injury suffered on international duty looks set to keep him out of action at least a large chunk of the season and sees him joining Virgil van Dijk and Fabinho in the treatment room.
It has seen the Reds become linked with Janmaat - but his previous record at Watford and Newcastle United have left some fans questioning whether he would add much. to Jurgen Klopp's squad
Janmaat is available on a free transfer after leaving Watford in the summer.
He is fully-fit after overcoming a knee injury and, according to Teamtalk, is keen on a move to Anfield, even on a short-term deal.
Naturally a right-back, Janmaat would potentially add depth at the back, particularly with full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold currently sidelined with a calf injury.
The 31-year-old has won praise from Gini Wijnaldum, who has played with him for both the Netherlands and Newcastle United.
Wijnaldum is said to have given Janmaat a glowing reference over a potential move to Anfield.
The move would only be a stop-gap for the Reds but would add experience to a backline that is lacking in numbers.
Both Rhys Williams and Nat Phillips look set for increased game-time following Van Dijk and Gomez's injuries, but neither carries much first-team experience.
By contrast, Janmaat carries experience of a 13-year senior playing career that has had spells at Feyenood, Newcastle and Watford.
It is not the first time the 34-time capped Dutch defender has been linked with Anfield, with Brendan Rodgers having been keen on signing him for the Reds in 2015.
