KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Is it going to be a case in the summer.....

...that if we don't sign our number one primary target(s) (what we are unlikely to get any way) we won't be signing anyone?

Because it sure seems that way, with the comments from Dalglish and Commolli, they honestly believe, that this exact team, is going to challenge next season as it is...there job is complete.

Have faith in your players, yes, but also recognize it, when we need new ones, if at all possible...to be able to progress to where we want to.

Is it just a ploy, so that other teams doubt us....and we get in first?

Either way, the management aren't really filling us with confidence and belief with there words, are they?

Flamin' team certainly isn't, that's for sure.
They're seemingly just sitting back and relaxing in the alledged 'easier' matches.
Piggin' mindset is obviously p1ss poor and needs rectifying as a matter of GREAT urgency.

Honestly I will be very happy with that, I don't want the club just to waste 20 million on Bent or Rodwell or another over hyped english men. If we don't sign top talent and I know I may be asking too much here because who would want to come here seriously with our recent troubles, then I would be happy to sign nobody.

Agree with Rafarendum. RM is a problem, and neither Carroll nor Suarez can lead the line by themselves, so we must sign someone as backup when we have injury problems.

i totally worry about this also, i said this before that most of these players were brought in for the long run as long as kk is there no1 is going to come and take their place look at carrol theres noway i see kk buying a quality striker to send him down the striking line up. but lfc has the capability of finding the right players they just need to look closely outside of england preferably spain or north america lucas the attacking midfielder who dribbles and as pace would be a good sggning and a possible one as lfc would be his first european club CL wouldnt be a priority most of these mid table clubs have atleast 1 quality player. LFC needs 3 major signings a right winger another midfielder (granero) and a prolific striker, downing could become better being that hes already there rotate between him maxi and bellamy.

Im sorry mate but we need more than a back up forward. We need a no. 9 that is half decent and can score goals. Carroll should be the back up/something different, the big man when we are having an off day passing wise. Carroll is much improved, but he still wouldn't get in any of the top 7 sides, including newcastle. What does that tell you? No one can predict the future but I personally strongly believe Carroll will never be anywhere close to a top striker, and that's what we need to compete for even 4th place. He has shown all season (even during his better matches) that he just hasn't got enough quality.

Have I agree about Carroll. At first I thought we weren't playing to his strengths and he couldn't adjust to our system
Of play but even though he has improved a bit he never seems to get to the rights spots because he comes across as being lazy on the field. He could have scored at least 5 more than he has but he continues to loiter at the top of the box when he could be at the penalty spot to score some tap ins from deflections and rebounds!
We need a quality striker to team with Suarez, similar to Kuyt, but with more skill than he, along with a right winger and a back up midfielder. SG is getting older and with Lucas injured for a while we need to strengthen the area. Adam just doesn't seem to filling the spot!

I agree with this. I remain behind Carroll, and I believe we will see better things from him. Maybe you're being a little harsh on him. In the last couple of months he's put in some quality performances for us, but we still need to be expecting a LOT better, not only from a player we expect to be leading the line, but also a player who's our record signing. I think there's no doubt that we need to sign a striker who will be first choice - a striker who WILL put the ball in the net regularly, given the chances.

I agree say £18m for Carroll would have been about right (but even then overpriced but we have to pay because he is english) Then say a top foreign striker (of he class of suarez) say £22m. Outlay around £40m. Give me that anyday than £35m just for Carroll.

I have to agree here...I've been a staunch supporter of AC since he joined, but I'm starting to lose faith in him. Whenever he comes on, he looks like he doesn't give two sh*ts. He's always falling down, getting b*tched off the ball...he's a monster, he shouldn't be on the deck as much as he is. Constantly looking to the ref to call fouls for him. Jogging around, crap layoffs, for 35 mil we certainly got robbed.
