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. i was massively putoff by his performances for Benfica against Braga in the euro cup semis. great going forward but hopeless defending. You think Glen Johnson can be bad, this guy is far worse and a bit powder puff. Not for me on those performances and definitly not at 22mil+

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. ther is no way robinson should be are starting left back he has atleast another 2-3 years till he can actually have that position to himself plus i hate seeing jamie carragher at right back let alone left back hes 33 and 34 in jan i agree i dont want an expensive leftback izaguirre would be my pick 6-7 mill with isua as his understudy

http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896/prem...-wigan-athleticAdmittedly its Goal.com but Liverpool transfer news none the less. Also Udinese turned down a 30m bid for Sanchez so i guess that rules us out i mean we have money but thats a bit over the top

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 Mata isn't a get down the line and cross in type of winger, in fact young does that more so young would be better for Carroll. I really like mata he plays great football, but does come in the centre a lot, a bit like david silva.

If all we want is crosses then why aren't we in for Downing and keeping Insua? Coentrao has as many assists as Konchesky this season, and Konchesky didn't play the whole season in the top flight.

I don't think anyone wants a limited player that can only cross, in downing's case his crossing is overrated as well.

How many times has it been said that Andy Carroll can play with the ball at his feet, and yet all the talk is off crossers and before long it'll be ball player full backs so we can just the hoof the ball the length of the field to him. When did we become Wimbledon?
Were not missing players who can cross were missing attacking creative talent who can provide threats from all areas providing goals and assists this is why United are such a threat when Rooney is having an off day and Hernandez is injured Nani pops up with a goal if its not him then its Park.
A good crosser should be the feather in his cap not what the player is all about and for this reason i want players like Mata, Sanchez, Young, Marin, Turan as they are creative attacking players with a flair for the unexpected, when you think he'll play a through ball he skins you, when you think he'll cut inside he'll go to the byline etc etc. When marking Downing - show him the inside as running to the byline and crossing is all he's got in his arsenal.
I want an entire midfield of players who will chip in with goals, this with a couple of DM players to guard the defence is our best way to fire ourselves to the league title

lads i honestly think we will get none of the top players were rumoured to be in for, because all these players were in for clubs thats in the champions league are in for them as well and i just think they will choose them over us and we,ll be left to get the scraps or our 3rd or 4th choice of player.(hope im wrong but i dont think so)
