nadavTKL 1,787 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Disappointing summer so far, in terms of the players we're being strongly linked to and Cech's imminent transfer to those cunts. What made us so great last season was the amazingly decisive transfer window we had. I thought in this window, we should have been in a position to shop at Harrods, now we're going for bargain buys. I understand we were need to bulk up the team a little with more squad players, but the lack of a world class superstar addition is a let down. The simple fact is that outside of Hazard and Costa, we have no reliable scorers in our main XI. You need at least a 3rd reliable goalscorer to take the next step in the Champions league. I'm not naive to believe that Oscar is all of a sudden going to metamorphose into Zico or be "next season's Hazard" or whatever fairytale being spoken out there. It ain't happening. Can you tell which top players are there for us to buy? you all need to look at the market, at all the top clubs, not just what our club is doing.. you can easily see that the options are very limited.Bayern are also looking for a winger, looks like they're going for Douglas Costa. PSG are doing something? Real? City are after Sterling for 50m pounds, you think we should be that desperate?Seriously, besides being grumpy about the transfer window, can you tell me who would you want us to buy? how could the club make decisive transfers this time again? lets see your ideas.According to the latest we're after Pogba, and interested in Sterling for 40m pounds. Are there any other available players do you want us to go after? The Skipper, Starman60, Strike and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddish-Blue 2,509 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 They could of used that money to sign a quality defender instead of Firmino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unionjack 7,531 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 With just 4 weeks till the US tour I hope we have some irons in the fire. Can just see how busy it gets on here in the closing days with just Falcao signed. (Touch wood that the Dippers beat us to him. Maybe if we ask them nicely?)

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hope Mourinho 'angry' because we're selling Cech to Arsenal and then go all out to buy Pogba or Sterling or Griezmann. I am okay with Cech leaving if that is the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 The better question...why isn't Rodgers signing a defensive midfielder and/or defender? Liverpool have such an unbalanced squad.You are right. They need to strenghten both ends.But that is Brendan...playing Can as CB and RB when he is actualy a decent DM/CM prospect.

One of those players who dominate the midfield. Should already be in this very average Dunga side.Hope someone is watching him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadavTKL 1,787 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 They could of used that money to sign a quality defender instead of FirminoBut Sterling will probably get sold to City, Firmino comes as his needed replacement.With Liverpool leaking to all media they will sell Sterling for 50m pounds, i dont think they rely on keeping him.Now they'll go for a striker, Bacca or Benteke it seems.

Of all their attackers now, the only one they look like selling is Sterling (and maybe Balotelli if they can find a buyer). Otherwise, it's pretty much a top-heavy squad right now, which is just ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, it's pretty much a top-heavy squad right now, which is just ridiculous.You cant expect Liverpool to be ok with options like Markovic, Borini, Lambert and Balotelli. They will look to sell the last 3 imo.For potential starters, they have Sturridge (who is injured for 3/4 a season), Coutinho, Lallana (who was poor last season), and Sterling. If Sterling is gone, Firmino is a must to replace him.I agree their squad is very big squad right now, but players will leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just find it puzzling they are strengthening the slightly less urgent area first. And some of their players will leave...assuming they can find a buyer.

I think they'll count on Skretel-Sakho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionsden 4,689 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Firmino is a great signing for Liverpool. He's technically strong and one of the most creative players in Europe over the past two seasons. I'm not sure he's a priority signing for them though. they needed a quality striker and a couple of defenders more.I'm a bit disappointed because he's a player we could have used to take the creativity load off Hazard and fabregas plus he's an upgrade on oscar as far as creativity and being a pure no 10 is concerned.

Well, one is City, other is United probably. I'd take him as he's versatile and creative, a bit of a hot head, though, is he not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's more creative, i didnt see it, but to spend another 40m on a bit more creativity?Firmino is also not someone you should pay 40m euros to be our right winger. So i can see why we didnt go fot this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
