KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum summer transfer window rumors and bullsh!t

clearing of deadwood needs to be done yes, especially the likes of jova who are on huge wage bills, and i agree with what your saying about ngog and strikers, but i think a centre back and a left back are more of a priority.

Why do we need a centre back? Got Ayala, Wilson and Kelly. Plus Wisdom coming through. Ayala was outstanding at Hull last year according to my m8s who are season ticket holders and they were gutted when he didnt go back when he was fit.

We need to get a back up striker in the Dan Sturridge mould. Pacey but knows where the back of the net is. Unlike Davvid Ngog who only knows in pre season and first few weeks then gets amnesia for rest of season.

We need a top CB to partner Carra as Skrtl (in my opinion) isn't good enough to start and Dagger is a major issue when it comes to injuries. Would love to see a young pacey back come in to partner the older legs of Jamie.

Left Back is obviously major right now, Baines/Cissokho in tomorrow thanks.

Then I still think we will make that one marquee in Mata on opposite side of Downing to give us that extra bit of flair.

Spending likely done for the season.

from the times...

Liverpool’s summer spending has come to an end, for the time being, after Kenny Dalglish confirmed that the club’s immediate priority is to offload players rather than recruit them.

Having overseen a £40 million recruitment drive that has resulted in Stewart Downing, Jordan Henderson, Charlie Adam and Alexander Doni being signed, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), Liverpool’s owner, is keen for the club to recoup at least some of the outlay through sales.

Dalglish is still in the market for a central defender and a left back, but his pursuit of further reinforcements is only likely to come to fruition once a number of players who have been deemed surplus to requirements have been offloaded.

The Liverpool manager is satisfied with the business his club have done so far this summer, but he is aware that the need to trim his squad has become more urgent. “We’re delighted with the work we’ve done,” Dalglish said. “Whether there’s more remains to be seen and depends on players going out.”

Liverpool are open to offers for Christian Poulsen, Brad Jones, Philipp Degen, Emiliano Insúa and David Ngog, having already sold Paul Konchesky, the left back, to Leicester City for £1.5 million.

Alberto Aquilani and Raul Meireles will also be allowed to leave should Liverpool receive substantial offers, with the Italy midfield player the most likely to depart. Aquilani was lauded by John W. Henry, the club’s principal owner, on Twitter after his positive displays during pre-season, but Liverpool have long since been prepared to sell him. Fiorentina are believed to be ready to offer him a return to Italy.

Joe Cole would also be allowed to leave, but Liverpool are discovering that his £110,000-a-week contract is proving a deterrent to interested clubs. As a result, they are focusing on revitalising Cole’s career when they would have preferred to offload him.

Should the pruning process be successful, Dalglish will be given the funds to bring in at least one defender with Diego Godín, the Atlético Madrid and Uruguay centre back, emerging as a potential target

Good post by the times. I think it shows the urgency for Liverpool to get rid the deadwood sooner rather than later. So far , aprt from Insua who is being courted by Roma and Aquilani by Fiorentina , there are no other clubs that are interested in our deadwoods. But I sincerely think we must keep either one of Raul Meireles and Alberto Aquilani. Both have their strong points. In my opinion , Meireles is best when he does the late running into the penalty boxes and Aquilani for his penetrating passes. Seriously I do not know which one to keep and which one to sell. Hopefully King Kenny can make the right decision and make the correct choice. Judging from what I have read so far , I think it will be Aquilani who is going , maybe to Fiorentina. Hopefully there will be an adequate replacement in the form of Charlie Adam and Daniel Pacheco.

Wolves plot cheeky loan move for Liverpool midfielder

Would love to see our youngsters in the premierleague where they will benefit much more. I think we should let him go on loan especially if we keep all those midfielders or the majority of them.

spearing is handy to keep hold of, especially in the winter when the likes of aqua and the other fannys types go missing in those cold november nights in the north west

yea i hope we keep hold of him. but would be good for someone like shelvey to go out on loan to a pl club.
