Raheem Stirling is a defo out. Could be 50 mill cash or 40 with addon to 55 depending if city or Chelsea go for him.

Ins: Milner, Benteke, depay, cavani (loan to buy)

Ibe and illori to be used more with the latter used as a practice right back to utilise his pace

Expect some change in coaching staff but Rogers will stay.

{Ed002's Note - PSG will not be loaning Cavani; Liverpool have Ilori up for sale. But there remains a decent chance of Milner joining.}

We don't need benteke, when do we ever cross? We need a vietto type, fast and agile who can close defenders down fast

{Ed001's Note - I am so glad somebody else has seen that. Benteke is great if you are looking to defend deep and hit it up to him or put the ball into the corners to be whipped in quickly, in other words old fashioned direct long ball footie. Other than that, he struggles. He is technically excellent, but he doesn't use his ability well enough to be any more than a target man with good feet. That is if you forget about the fact that he is as injury prone as Sturridge.}

Thanks I needed a good laugh - Cavani?!? Leaving aside his huge wages, he's overrated. More of a United signing to go alongside Veron, Di Maria, Falcao as a huge waste of money.

Ed001 or Ed002

Just a though, if we had called a miss on Lallana and Balotelli, surely we could have used those transfer funds and gone for a player like Lacazette? The wages alone spent on Lallana and Balotelli would have been adequate?

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what you are talking about nor what you mean by a "player like Lacazette". Are we going to redo last summer again?}

03 May 2015 16:56:27
When do we ever buy what we need lurch?

03 May 2015 17:01:46
Ok Ed002. What I actually meant was use the funds and wages spent on Balotelli and Lallana to sign Lacazette?

Would we have had a chance to get Lacazette with the money made available to Rodgers last summer? What is your opinion Ed002?

{Ed002's Note - No chance - the player made it very clear he had no intention of moving last summer. Lacazette was not an option for Liverpool at that time.}

03 May 2015 17:15:57
And obviously Ed002, correct me if I am wrong, in LFC's current situation being lead under Rodgers, LFC would still not be an option for Lacazette?

{Ed002's Note - As has been repeatedly explained, Lacazette's position is complex as it involves another player, Fekir. There is interest in him from a number of clubs including Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Arsenal and, in particular PSG and there have been a number of discussions about his future. Manchester City moved on to buy Bony in January and now need to be making space if they are going to continue their interest in Lacazette. With Jovetic and probably Dzeko leaving in the summer nothing will come of it unless Aguero were to also leave. Guy Hillion has been looking at Lacazette but there has been no offer made by Chelsea - but they have seemingly lost out on their identified targets and they are looking for forwards. Much will depend on the future of the other player and what happens in terms of success this season and Champions League qualification. My expectation is that he will stay at Lyon.}

I can see the points some of the guys and Ed001 make here against Benteke, injury prone and him being more a box tall strong forwrd and we are not a team that play direct or have a lot of crossing - so we are risking a new (even if surely better) version of Balotli in terms of someone nut suitbale to our style. But the thing is I think that anyway we have to add this element to our game and get wingers who can cross well as well as mroe presenece in the box. If we keep on trying to penetrate from the centre it will be as easy to stop us as it was in many games this year. And we are desperate for players who can head from corners and free kicks - that header from gerrad yesterday was so so rare this season and he is leaving.

Benetke is a beast of a player, with a very good consistent record of scoring in the PL - if we can get him, which I doubt, for me it is a no brainer.

03 May 2015 19:03:12
It is not. He is made of glass, not consistent enuff, no movement and not good enuff for where we wanna be.

03 May 2015 20:23:00
Ed001, in your opinion please is Vietto more likely than Ings? I appreciate "most likely" questions are hard to answer but wanted your thoughts please mate. I've been following Veitto & Ings this season since we've been linked and I can't figure who is the better fit in our style of play. Both have scored similar amount of goals this season in struggling sides. As has Origi.

Also with our interest in Depay, is he being looked at as well as a Striker or is he seen as a Striker please?

Appreciate your feedback mate

{Ed001's Note - Vietto would be better, but Ings seems more likely. He was all ready to join in January, Ings I mean, it seems (though I am not convinced he is in any way shape or form what we need, especially lacking the character to even take a penalty for Burnley) he is still keen to join us. I really hope someone at the club has the sense to see that a player who is too cowardly to take a pen in case he misses it and Burnley go down is not what we need. We already struggle when it matters, we don't want to add someone who will hide rather than step up when it matters. If we sign him, then whoever is making the decisions should be sacked for not doing their job. What ever happened to researching a player's personality and character before choosing them?? We are simply not getting transfers correct because we are not doing enough research on them and making sure they are what we need.

Depay is seen as a wide attacker, as he is a wide attacker.}

Ok mate cheers for reply. I agree with you that i'm not convinced Ings is exactly what we need But he seems the only one that keeps cropping up.

04 May 2015 10:31:42
Can't understand anyone wanting to throw cash away at Benteke.
He tries for about 6 games a season. His goal scoring is average. He's basically another Balotelli in my book.
Could be amazing, but not prepared to put the effort in which his talent requires.
Besides that, he doesn't fit our system.

Ings will come because he is cheap.

04 May 2015 15:31:03
If Ings doesn't want to take pens I'm sure balo will have no issue is taking it off him and burying it :)
