Seriously right now we need wingers for both side. But which kind of winger do we need most?
Is it in the mould of John Barnes who loves to do trickery and crosses from byeline or from deep to target man in the penalty box?
Or is it in the mould of Steve McManaman who do trickery but cuts inside and try to score by himself or just lay to the player running into the box or the ones already inside the box?

I think a winger in the mould of John Barnes would be better especially with pace and skill to dribble past opposition players

One of each, Barnes on the left - Aka Mata and McManaman on the right - Aka Hazard etc.

Someone I'd be interested in looking at is Adam Lallana

Thoughts?

So far only Stewart Downing and Jermaine Pennant comes into my mind. Most midfielders love to cut inside and shoot instead of crossing. So that will defeat the purpose of having Andy Carroll in the middle.

Fellow Kopites have anyone suitable in our mind?

Valencia's Mata looks likely to exit

Jesus Navas, a proper crossing wing.

In fantasy world I would love if Liverpool can sign Arjen Robben but that would never happen. So back to reality if we can follow FSG policy to buy youth then I would love for Liverpool to sign Mark Albrighton of Aston Villa. That guy is young and is showing signs of becoming a good player in future. Maybe not an ideal signing but would be proud if he can show enthusiam when playing for a club of glorious history and pride.

At his age we would probably be looking at 15m just in potential. Not worth it right now when we need class wingers to provide Carroll now. Albrighton is alright and all but he won't take us back to where we want to be.

navas gets homesick just by going in garage

Nail on the head regarding Navas,also feel that he'd get crucified in the prem.
