KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Who would you like to see signed?

duff is one of the rare handful of players in the prem with a world class footballing brain..his body is a problem but a fantastic squad player imo.

I'm a bit surprised at the "we don't need a CB debate". We most certainly need a quality CB.

Carra is currently our best CB, bar none. Agger may be a better footballer, one who is excellent going forward, but if he's only going to play half the season he presents problems for us rather than solutions. I'm not saying get rid; he needs to be managed so that we can get more games out of him. Skrtel, well, I don't know if you've been watching Liverpool lately, but 3 of the last 4 goals that have been scored against us have been assists for Skrtel (the 4th goal being an assist for Howard Webb). It's a credit to him that he's played every minute of the season so far, but his defending is woeful at times. This is the guy who should be coming off the bench rather than starting every game. The greek is good against certain teams, and a liability against the rest. An aging blood-and-guts player, a crock, and 2 error-prone players, along with a handful of guys who haven't had a run in the team. That's not a first choice line-up in any man's language.

We need a quality player who will start alongside Carra or Agger, with Skrtel mainly in the reserves. If we get into the EL, then Carra must play every EL game alongside someone like Kelly in the center of defense, and Skrtel will be on the bench for both "squads" (cup and EPL) and Carra rested from the EPL during EL weeks. The greek should be retained for emergencies - he has a "free" extra season with us anyway, and there's no harm having him around.

i think we need to sign quality rather than quantity, there should be no need to hold back with regards to transfer as any additions would be first team regulars fr the next 5 years. i'd like to see us splash our cash on 2 or 3 signings. if we can generate some more cash from selling players then maybe we could bring in a couple more squad players. the wage bill definitely needs slashing too.

our top priority is a top class winger. i'd take ashley young, but there are better players out there like mata, sanchez and possibly hazard.

then i'd look at a top centre half. either gary cahill or mamadou sakho would be fantastic additions.

there are some good young full backs coming through of late in the form of flanagan, kelly and robinson and i hope they continue to be involved in the first team in the future.
if we could could pick up a player like jose enrique at a decent price in the last year of his contract then it would only improve the squad.

if there is some still some money left over i'd look at bringing in a central midfielder. i was quite keen on charlie adam in january because of his passing, creativity and good deliveries from set plays but would only take him at a decent price because of his poor form since.
theres also scott parker who would be available and would probably keep spearing and lucas out of the first 11 which i'm not sure is fair because both have played well but it would surely improve the side because of his tenacity and his ability when he gets forward.

there are a lot of players we should be showing the door allowing younger players on much smaller contracts to come through.

jovanovic, insua, poulsen, aurelio, el zhar, aqualani, kyriagkos, cole, n'gog, brad jones, konchesky, degen

that should give us about £20m maybe more and would create a lot of room in the wage budget
