KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum We have signed 3 players how many more

Yep, Malaga it is for him!

Capdevila on the left was linked with us earlier as I can recall.

Their CB Carlos Marchena would be a great addition to our squad too!

Not capdevilla. Some young left back and centre back.

Don't know, but here are all their defenders:
Angel
Marchena
Capdevila
Catalá
Gonzalo
Joan Oriol
Kiko Olivas
Mario
Musacchio
Zapata

Ha musacchio Is the one.

I think that marquee signing was Commoli thinking he could pull off a real big coup by landing someone like aguero then realising he couldn't. He recently said we've done most of what we wanted to do (not a direct quote but very close), and that there will definitely people leaving as they want more game time than what is on offer and try to get some youngens out on loan abroad and to championship sides.
I personally don't think there is gonna be a signing any 'bigger' than what we've had already. Maybe another signing if someone is available at the right price.

Not true at all, Marcelo and Coentrao will be starting. At Benfica Di Maria and Coentrao had an almost psychic connection and this same connection will be transferred into Madrid. Marcelo will be starting on the left as usual with Coentrao on the right. This will push Ramos in CB alongside either Pepe or Carvalho (with Pepe in holding mid) and continue the partnership Ronaldo and Marcelo have whilst adding that of Di Maria and Coentrao.

Right now we need a LB, I honestly believe we will still get Mata for LW (Downing on the right or vice-versa) then we need a class young centre back and a young 4th striker. Spending done for the summer. Then get rid/loan about 8 players, we know who they are..

I don't think we will need another striker if we buy a right winger. Unless Kuyt will be starting on the right next season which I hope he isn't because his talents are wasted there, he will be on the bench because we cannot play all 3 strikers and having him there is enough depth until January. I would much rather strengthen our defence and forget about another striker for now.

If Kenny is thinking otherwise and wants another striker, I hope he brings an experienced striker rather than a young one which can do a job effectively straight away. Ngog is horrible and I hope he is sold but I think we shouldn't waste money on a really young striker like we almost did on Wickham. A 10m striker from france or spain I think should do the trick.

Seriously , I don't think there will be a 'marquee' signing in this transfer window. We have spent nearly 50m pounds on 3 players so far and I believe we will not spend much more on big name signings. Bids for players for the problem positions will be under 10m pounds I reckon. So right now after viewing both the pre-season games so far , I think there should be 3 positions that needs to be filled. A Left Back , Centre Back and also a back up striker. There are reports that are saying that we have agreed a price of €10m for a Left Back( ALy Cissokho). Centre Back will be the next problem that must be rectified. For a back up striker , I believe a young and upcoming striker will do the job. The reason will be due to the fact that there will be Dirk Kuyt who are more than willing to play there if it is necessary. If Dirk Kuyt are put in the striker's role , so who should be on the Right Wing? Actually Liverpool do have players there. Maxi , Gerrard and Henderson can play there. They have done it before sometimes in their career. So the main concern right now is to get a good and commanding Centre Back. Personally I prefer a British Centre Back due to the fact they are more robust and they know the leaguebetter but when remembering the transfer fee , I think we should look for someone in another league. Sakho would be great but would he want to play in a team that do not offer European football but with good temptation and Commoli's influence , would love to see that happen. As for the back up striker , Nolan Roux or Teteh Bangura should do the trick. Both are cheap and willing to improve...


Just My Thoughts
YNWA...

I don't think back up striker is necessary, Kuyt was fantastic with suarez there. No need to rush that position, only buy if something special becomes available for a good price. Left back, I think Kenny perceives it as a weakness and would rather have Johnson playing on the right, I honestly think these people that are hungry for cissokho definitely haven't watched him play much last season. Lyon fans want him out, nuff said. Centre back, tricky one. It was been a weak area during pre season, we tend to have a strong defence though, we don't concede that much in the league, if I was being greedy I'd want a new CB, but a starting one, no need for another back up, as we have 3 CBs who are at best back ups.

Unconvinced they will be playing a very left footed player on the right, but I don't think Marcelo is for sale, just would be very surprised to see them line up like that when the league starts.
