KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Who would you like to see fill the LB position?

I think we need a new LB, so that rules out me picking Aurelio or Insua. My preference would be Baines, but i don't think it's realistically possible. I don't see us getting Bastos either, so out of Enrique or Cissokho, i'd go with Cissokho. I'd take either though. Not sure what the alleged price quote for Cissokho was, but Enrique seems a bit pricey.

well, seems like a split opinion amongst the fans so far...although we have only had 11 people vote. I can't really judge Enrique as I haven't seen much of him.

Well, vote guys, lets see what you think...

Apparently, Aly Cissokho is available and their has been definite interest from our side. I repeat, apparently, but people who seem to know what is going on are claiming that a deal for Cissokho is most likely, of the ones mentioned there, i.e Bastos, Enrique, Baines etc. Not sure about that, seeing that we have alrady made our interest in Enrique public. Let's see...I wouldn't be surprised to see Cissokho join us though, that's for sure.

poll?

sorry just sounded bad putting Konchesky on a pole!

Cissokho or Enrique would be great and I can see Cissokho coming to us. Enrique has said he wants to play Champions League and we can't offer him that and Arsenal can and from what I read it's between us and the Ar$e for his signature depending who pays more! Cissokho would be more than handy though IMO.

Cissokho had a horrible season but is a quick left back with the capability to make it in the premier league and would definitely get back to his best under the management of Kenny. Though, in saying that I'd definitely prefer to have Baines as he's already well proven in the BPL and is England's next Left Full back. He makes a ton of assists every season and just keeps improving. It would be difficult to pry him away but we'll see.

The reason I hadn't mentioned Baines is because I don't think Everton would realistically let him cross to LFC. He would be an ideal choice though.

In an ideal world , would love to have Baines but realistically we would not be able to purchase him from Everton. Having already spent nearly 50m pounds on players , I do not think that we will spend big anymore. Baines and Enrique would cost in excess of 15m pounds each whereas Cissokho would be less than 10m pounds I guess. Since we are about to sign for Stewart Downing , I guess all the crossings from the left will be left to Downing instead. So maybe we need someone on the left to be the same like Glen Johnson on the right. And from what I read and saw a lot of videos , I think that Aly Cissokho fits it quite good. So maybe we should get him in and compete with Aurelio and Jack Robinson for the Left Back position.


Just My Thoughts
YNWA...

I dont get the fuss about Enrique, maybe I haven't seen enough of him but whenever I seen him play he was ordinary. He is a good defender but not sure about him moving forward and we need someone like that if we switch toa formation with no wingers. Baines all the way.
