Probably get blasted for this but here goes.

Other than a striker, I really hope the club makes NO more signings this summer.

I think we have signed far too many players over the last 3-5 years and we need to work with the squad we have.

We have a great squad of players who with the right coaching and leadership can be developed into a world class team.

Players like Lovren, Lallana and Lambert who excelled at saints. These players do not lose the ability over night.
YES the pressure is increased, but the players around them are supposedly superior to those at saints.

With the right management, I truly believe in the players and feel if utilised correctly can create a formidable squad.


Over the last 5 years.
We have spent rucks of money in the transfer window and the majority has been a waste. There are so many examples it is untrue and quite frankly, it is embarrassing.

This has resulted in Rodgers being told "insufficient funds are available". Can you blame the owners. if it was your money would you be confident given our track record of signings ?

My answer.

- Work with what we have (Academy-Squad)
- Only buy necessities (St)
- Remove the players that do not want to be there. (E.g Enrique)
- Give the loaned out signings a fair and proper chance !

and most importantly
- Introduce players who do want to be there !!! Players willing to give there all (ACADEMY).
(The lads in the academy must be half descent otherwise they wouldn't be there. Give them a chance !)

Struggling for goals ? why not give Jack Dunne a chance.

Keeper is having a nightmare ? Give Ward a chance

WHAT IS THE WORST THAT CAN HAPPEN !

It is better than wasting millions year after year after year after year ., .

Stop wasting money.

Lambert is not good enough . Too slow . Mignonet is a good shot stopper and has improved , but off the deck he's dredfull . We need a powerhouse in the middle . A shield for the back four . a proper striker . A guy who can make the difference . Stop bargain hunting . We should have replaced Suarez with a top notch striker . And then cover the rest of the positions after that . Not the other way round . Goals win games . Last year we didn't fair too bad . So based on that a striker was essential .

Some players simply do not fit into this team. Lambert and Balotelli are two such players. They, along with players with no future at LFC (Borini, Enrique, Wisdom, Ilori, Manquilio perhaps and the free transfers out of the club, Gerrard, Johnson and Toure) all probably will leave and that does create spaces in the team.

I agree with the sentiments of not wasting money, but we probably will have to 3-4 players this summer.

17 Apr 2015 11:17:45
What is the worst that can happen? Well we could end up further down the league table while we find out how good or bad these youngsters are. That is quite possible.

I do agree that we need to clear the decks tho. Take stock, see the wood for the trees, assess what we actually need. 2 forwards and a keeper! Persuade Lucas to stay and sell a bunch of bit part and loaned out players. Then add a few up and coming players to the squad.

17 Apr 2015 11:52:49
Agreed, but what you indicate. Is a change in the management team.

Who would be a suitable replacement for Rodgers, is a difficult question and is more important than any player changes.

The 'spine' of the team is not evident and apart from Lucas and Coutinho really needs to be looked at.
Yes another goal keeper. Commanding centre half and striker. Why did we sell Agger ?

17 Apr 2015 12:20:05
'Goals win games' but it clearly doesn't win us the league.

17 Apr 2015 12:24:48
So you would be happy starting next season with Henderson Allen Lucas and Can vying for the midfield slots. Sorry my friend but that simply isn't good enough. Liverpool need a lot more than just a striker this summer. Lallana marcovich balotelli aspas jones manquillo toure Alberto borini lambert Allen and mignolet are simply not good enough to play for liverpool. Now this might sound harsh but it's the truth you won't win anything with squad players which liverpool have in abundance. To move to the next level we need to sign proven quality e.g pjanic irallamendi firmino players of that ilk not players who have come from one good season at a mid table premier league club.an dare I even say it is be even tempted to sell sturridge because as he's proved through out his career he spends more time on the sidelines than on the pitch. Oh and I forgot to mention Enrique who seems like a professional twitter poster than footballer. Lacazette is a player I'd go all out for also

17 Apr 2015 12:50:05
Irish Rover- We need to develop a core group of players who are familiar with each others presence and style of play. The most obvious example was at UTD. who was it who said you can't win anything with kids ? what happened ??
times have changed mate I agree, but the fancy foreign names are not always the be all and end all.

Yuri - Maybe additional support to help Rogers make the decisions. Especially when it is so evident that he is out of his depth.


Fencey - Exactly

Redmick - How can you say players of that ilk in regards to pjanic irallamendi. To me they just sound like typical Foreign chancers. Would you not rather an academy prospect be given a chance ? or do you just want an open chequebook.

17 Apr 2015 13:12:41
I could live with just a striker if it was an absolute world class player like Benzema, Aguero etc. if we could only get one.

17 Apr 2015 13:43:48
I'm with you icevalley

I feel our biggest problem is someone putting the ball into the back of the net but I'd also like to see a solid CM player to go in with Henderson could be can but then we'd need a CB.

I agree with other posts saying lambert and balotelli aren't good enough so sell them.
You could argue then saying your selling 2 players and only getting 1 but at the end of the day neither of them play anyway so it doesn't matter anyway.

I feel last summer Rodgers bought players to bulk up the squad rather than players going into our starting 11.

17 Apr 2015 15:05:52
Ice valley just to use lallana as an example liverpool paid 25 million for him when he wasn't even needed. Both he and coutinhos best position is am now I know who I'd rather start with.

17 Apr 2015 15:25:54
Depends who goes and how much we managed to re-coup. Have over 10 players who could possibly go and could get anywhere from 25-50m (50 being very very optimistic!).

But priority is a striker - be hard to get one of genuine quality but do also have Origi coming back. Everyone mentioning 'marquee" signings can keep dreaming - we can't attract these players w/o CL football and staying in line with FFP. Not seen much of both (not through trying but hard to watch) but Kokorin and Adriano could be options - would like Volland but don't think that is realistic!

Hopefully Lucas stays and Allen goes - but if Lucas wants to leave then we have to keep Allen as a squad player and get a good DM in. Can't afford to replace both so imagine it is one or the other.

If Skrtel goes then tbf don't think we need to replace him as have ilori, jones, sakho, lovren, wisdom, toure, and if needed Can to play their (provided we ditch the back 3!). FB are sorted tbf and mignolet isn't the best but don't think we can afford to replace him but maybe get a decent keeper on a free?

Also we don't need him but konoplyanka.should have signed him instead of both markovic and lallana last summer, would have saved us +£40m and is a natural wide player which I still think we lack (except maybe Ibe).

17 Apr 2015 21:01:14
We do need to evaluate what we have before buying anyone else.
That is 100% true.
I think we will need more than 1 player though.
For me, Balotelli,Lambert,Borini,Johnson,Gerrard and Jones are definitely leaving.
That leaves Sturridge and Origi as our only two strikers so we must surely by another one.
4th choice striker should go to Sinclair in my opinion as Sterling can play there in an emergency as shown all season.
I would introduce Ojo next season as well to add another wide man.
That leaves a right back and a centre midfielder.
So 3 players in my opinion.
Top up the rest if needed with the academy.
Like Ward as back up goalkeeper. a position which is rarely needed.

18 Apr 2015 01:50:40
Lallana not good enuff your avin a laff. With proper movement around him he will be great

18 Apr 2015 08:16:20
Expected to leave :
Gerrard, Johnson, Balo, Lambert, Jones, Borini, Coates

Might Leave :
Illori, Wisdom, Allen, Toure, Manquillo, Enrique, Lucas

We need to Buy:
GK/ RB / CM / ST (2 in number)

From the leave list I would want Illori, Wisdom, Toure, Lucas to stay. this will reduce the need for RB, needing 4 new players.

GK : Cech 10M
CM : G.Medel 15M / Milner Free(5M)
ST : Higuain 35M / Morrata 20M
2nd ST : D.Ings Free(5M) / Hernandez ManU (10M)

So i all we need to buy for 40-70M odd.
Cech/Milner/Morrata/Ings : 40M
Cech/Medel/Higuain/Herandez : 70M

Team

Cech/Migs (CB)
Wisdom/Flanno/Moreno/Smith (FB)
Lovren/Sakho/Skertel/Illori/Toure (CB)

Lucas/Medel(Milner)/Can/Hendo -CM
Lallan/Coutino -AM

Sterling/Marko/Ibe (WF/Winger)
Stru/Higuain(Morrata)/Origi/Ings(hernandes) (CF/ST)

18 Apr 2015 09:41:50
I´m not sure why most of you prefer a right back? We have Flanagan, Wisdom, Manquillo and Mclaughlin. It might not be great right backs, but what would happen if Moreno got injured - Enrique (will most likely be sold in the summer) and Smith. I´m not sure that Smith is ready yet.

18 Apr 2015 11:56:51
I think most are missing ice valleys and my own point.

We are not going to have vaste amounts of money to spend this summer unless someone like sterling is sold , so with the money we do have its best to buy 1 class striker rather than 3-4 average players.

Red till death2 I think you are going to be bitterly disappointed if you think either of them scenarios are going to happen.

Although it would be nice to get medel and a striker.

18 Apr 2015 19:52:37
On another topic, off all those RB`s we have had before the season began, Kelly would have been better to have around along w/ Flanno and GJ. Just shows how usless BR is with transfers. We had Flanno (injured, I know), Wisdom, GJ and Kelly for RB. What does BR do? He loans out Wisdom, sells Kelly (for a pittance which is even worse) and brings in Manquillo (on a 2 yr loan, again aweful business) to compete with a spent force like GJ. WTF? Now we are finding out that Manquillo (after some flashes of ability early on) is not even better than Kelly nor even a spent force like GJ YET BR sold Kelly and brought in a replacement who can`t get a game. Yet many on here think BR is a fine manager that needs more time and NOBODY above him. If you believe that, I have a bridge in london to sell you. Kelly was the best we had to compete with GJ at that time should NEVER has been sold and he is proving it at CP right now because he was never given a chance to regain full fitness and now he has. I hope the same fate won`t befall Flanno and Tex.

I think this is possibly the dumbest post I've seen. We are a mile away from the top teams, everyone else can see the divide but liverpool fans, it's pretty tragic really, we've lost no end of ground on our "rivals" and no doubt when we are in a seemingly different, but much the same scenario next season, if brendan is still in charge, he'll blame it on yet another year of transition. We need a manager that can grind out results no matter how poor the performance, which is effectively what LVG has done. I'm fed up with going on good runs and then the players bottling it, or the tactics being so wayward it's like they've been drawn up by a 5 year old. We get far too many injuries, and imo we aren't ruthless enough. No idea which manager should replace brendan or what tactical basis they should impose, but personally I'd love to see more positive play with a high line and less of this full back shite. Get a good CB and RB in and lucas fit and I'm sure we'd be immediately better. l
