It's funny how depay was rarely mentioned but as soon as Liverpool declare interest fans are grovelling over him. I hope he ends up at united. We have to spend wisely this summer and depay will fetch 25 million. He is a player we do not need. When is Ibe getting his chance? When he's forced to play on loan elsewhere?
And if 25 million is spent on depay there is no hope in he'll we sign a top midfielder and striker which we need. Milner is being sought which is another poor transfer decision.
It's simple. We need 3 top players. GK. Striker and midfielder. Milner is not a top central midfielder. DepaY is not a striker and website gone quiet on goalkeepers.

People like big names and Rodgers collects Attacking Mids and CBs like tic tacs.
Depay fits the bill, I imagine it has something to do with the Sterling situation also.
I think some of our defensive woes will be repairs by a coach who knows how to coach some sort of defensive shape into the team. If I could pick one it would be a top top striker with Sinclair, Origi to cover and hopefully to play alongside Sturridge if we can ever get some sort of consistent fitness out of him.

Big Al for manager then? Its simple!

I think we'll stick with Mignolet as #1, we may sign a decent backup GK though.
I'd prefer Keita Balde Diao as striker to Depay.
I genuinely think Sterling will go if a very high offer is made. Somewhere over £30M will see him go.
Other sales will raise a bit of cash.
I still think we'll get top 4. Man Utd will lose tomorrow.

I agree Big Al, though if we sell Sterling I think that Depay would be a suitable replacement, having watched PSV a number of times this season he can certainly do a job as a striker as well however. And with Johnson leaving and Flanno's contract situation uncertain, I think we should be looking for a right back as well.

Kyles I would assume the interest is due to sterling but I still think give the shirt to ibe. Give him a long run of games. He's an excellent player and is proven and put the 25 million into a top class striker or a vidal type midfielder.

Big Al is right. We have a ready replacement in Ibe as well as Marko and Ojo to come in. We need goals and a topstriker should be the priority and using 25m on Depay who like Sterling, is NOT a striker by nature, is NOT what we need. We spend money a lot BUT get the wrong players for positions that we already have people to cover which is why, we have failed in the TW unlike the other big clubs who know what they are doing.

We don't need someone who can do a job as a striker, we need an actual striker.
Depay is going to be a top player, but we don't need him.
