KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Fed up of buying average

sooo

I think we will be bringing a lot better players in now I don't normally believe in having a director of football like comolli but I think we will benefit from his knowledge and contacts and just having generally all his time to go and find the best players available. We need 1 or 2 top drawer players in this window and a few promising youngsters we have some very good players coming through but we can't afford to sit back and hope these players make the grade as if they don't we will have missed the boat again like we have for the last 20 years we have just sat back when the good times were rolling and didn't plan for the future. I would ideally love to see some big signings as a signal of intent to make everyone take notice that lfc have woken and are going to take their rightful spot back at the very top.

I just want good players who fit Liverpool

Its not that we only have had average players, its that we never had the right players in the right place. We have been a completely unbalanced team, compare this to United. Who don't seem to have the best players, however still play good football because they have the right people in the right place. So if we can do the same, and with a couple of class players we are going to be back challenging for the big time

You are right aldoraine, I also think it doesnt help that we don't know what our formation is in order to get the right players in to play in the required positions

I don't know whether its the "right formation" or Kenny needs players so he has options to attack/defend situationally i.e 3 defenders and 2 wing-backs versus Chelsea to push back their fullbacks. We need class players so he and Clarke can plan with flexibility.

Also the question of Stevie and Raul. Raul played too much this year due to lack of depth and it pounded on him physically. Some depth could possibly let us rotate people in to keep them fresh perhaps?

Viva Saint Suarez

we done this with aqua, who knows things could be on the up, jovanovic for 5-6 mill, ngog out on loan, konchescky would let him play on my pub team, fring players like cole can hopefully get settled and pull on the shirt, gerrard says suarez is like a midfielders dream.......who knows

The Babel one I'll give you, the Aquaman totally unproven to be a waste of money.

OP, we could go right back to Roy when we were paying 3-4 million for a squad full, when we should have been paying 8-10. Nothing new there.

If only it were that simple.

Top-quality players typically want to go to clubs playing in the Champions League and whilst that's less of a problem for a big team not playing in the competition - like Liverpool or Juventus - it limoits our options

When we were in the Champions League we had a manager who had a mixed record in the transfer market - largely because our owners for most of his time at the club (Hicks & Gillete) were unwilling to stump up the cash needed to get his primary targets - so we usually ended up settling for the second or moreoften than not, third and fourth choices

Also it's been a long time since any youth players came into the team and made such a positive impact - as Spearing, Flannagan, Kelly and Robinson have this seasin. You have to go back to the days of Carragher, Owen and Gerrard



Luis Garcia and Alonso came the summer before Reina - but like Torres, Kuyt, Benayoun, Mascherano and Crouch they were quality purchaes (in fact at £5m Luis Garcia was an absolute bargain).

For all that though we wasted lots of money on the likes of Dossena, Babel, Riera, Keane and as it currently stands, Aquilani

I suggest we all simply sit back, wait PATIENTLY, lol, chill, have a few bevvies and a smoke, fiddle and play with a slut or two, bide our time, and see what the management come up with, as they are not going to take one iota of interest in ANYTHING that ANYONE in here or outside the club have to say think or do, yesterday, today or tomorrow.
