nope, don't think he's worth that much but then again you have to pay crazy amounts of money for great players these days and coentrao is a great player. but i don't think we're in for him anyway. enrique is a good option for £5-7m, haven't seen much of the celtic player but looks like a good player too.

24mill for a left back? is he really THAT good?

i rate coentrao in the same catagorie as ashley cole and danny alves anyway.barca paid 23m for danny alves and personally i think it was worth it he was 3rd top assisting player in la liga last season with 15 assists and he was 2 years older than coentrao when barca bought him.i believe coentrao could do a similar job for us as its quality in the wide areas that we are rely lacking and i see lb as a very influecial position as you see with other players such as evra,alves,cole,baines,marcelo are very influencial players for there respective clubs.

to make it not sound as bad just think that we are paying 6 mill more then we paid for johnson :P

Ok lets get Coentrao, Hazard, Lukaku and Mata. Damn if only all these become reality.

i take your point. full backs have become more important in the modern game from the point of view of attacking etc.

i guess if our transfer kitty is 100mill, i'd say go for it with him. but if the kitty is only 50 million, would you still be as insistent on contreau if it left us with 26 mill to spend when, well in my opinion anyway, a cb and 2 wingers??

he's the portuguese equivalent to gareth bale. winger/left back and top quality talent

we should be looking at players like him. we've got the cash so why not?

i seriously think if we wanted him juan mata could quite easily be a liverpool player. think he's the better option to ashley young. mata is a natural left sided player whereas young is a right footed left winger who cuts inside. i would love to see both of them at the club but i reckon carroll would benefit much more from mata

If the kitty is 50m (excluding player sales):
-24m +Coentrao
-20m +Sakho
-Aquilani -6m +Young/Hazard/Mata
-Cole +Adam
-Poulsen -Jovanovic -Konchesky -Insua -Degen -El Zhar +Removal of rounding errors

Just about works out, I think.

Im not sure we need a left back weve got robinson, kelly,johnson, wilson, flanigan, injury prone auerelio and isua. Carragher can also play there i see no point in buying an expensive left back unless this guy can play left wing is quick and can cross the ball. We need a centre back some wingers, back up striker i think 3 quality strikers is enough like united have so someone like gerviniho would be gd. Also need some midfielders who control the game although spearing and lucas are gd i dont feel comfortable them being dead certs for first choice as no one in the top 4 would play them week in and week out.

we may have a few players who can play at LB but LB is still a huge hole in our starting 11 that needs fixing. i dont think we need a CM and we seem to be looking for 1, if we could have got someone like nuri sahin then brilliant but we are not weak in this department like we are with winger and our striker options from the bench
