KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Heskey, the free agent in the summer

Ok so the way things are going at the moment we are not going to pay the fee for Heskey so it has been rumoured that we will sign him in the summer on a free. We could put in a contract now for him to join in the summer but I think we should wait to see if there will be anymore funds available as we could sell players and maybe go in for another Torres I am sure Rafa is looking forward to getting rid of deadwood this summer and I think Babel is on his way out unless he starts to wake up and play some decent games.

I really can't see the point in him coming back but he cannot be any worse than our free transfer right back!

Nor can I. He hasn't been lighting the premiership on fire recently so I can't see the sense in bringing him here. Although Babel hasn't had the best season i still think he has a lot to offer - and more time left to offer it.

I hope that you guys understand that if we bring Heskey in this month or in the summer, he will in no way be our first or second choice striker. He'll be just an option up front. And he has qualities that our current strike force doesn't possess.

And Heskey is an England international striker which could prove to be useful in the champions league.

He'll be a bargain if we can get him for 3 million or less this month, and for free in the summer.

I would definitely have taken Owen over Heskey, but if ever he rejoins us, i won't be over the moon, but still won't complain.

Remember how we were having a go a Reira before he joins us... and Gary McAllister anyone?

If we have more money for an attacker then great but if not Heskey will do me as long as he scores a couple every know and again when he is needed.

From what i can understand is that Raffa should sell before buying... So it won't be a surprise if he brings in Heskey at a discounted fee this month... And if he brings him for free next summer, he'll definitely use the cash available to strengthen other positions instead of up front... Like he did this season for Deggen, which eventually proved to be a complete failure...

We need to use all our money to buy one or two quality players, because we're very close to having a great team.


Sounds good to me too.

I think tbh we have a great team, it just needs tweaking now and maybe get rid of one or two of the lazy ones and bring some more enthusiastic players in.

I agree with your comments on Heskey, we can do without him, but IMO don't think he's cause the team much harm if we bring him in...

On a free I would agree but I couldn't agree if we were going to spend £4m bringing him in, the money would be better used elsewhere to strengthen the wings.
