KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Liverpool need to make some tough calls!

i think masch has been no way near his best form this season and it's probably because he wants to leave....if we get a bid over £30m i would sell him next summer...we could bring in someone like toulalan at lyon as a replacement...

i don't think we necessarily need a new striker. besides torres we have nemeth, pacheco and n'gog...what we do need is some new midfielders and maybe a new cb(kjaer?)....

Yes Torres gets injured! But when his not injured he fires and makes a difference.

Aggers made 55 apps since 2006. Torres has made 67 apps since 2007 ( 48 goals )

Selling Agger does make sense. To make room and to fund for another younger high quality centreback like Simon Kjaer.

If the team had what it needed to compete with the top four. We would have the luxuary of having the best Def mid in the world. But the truth is. Having the best def mid in the world is no use to us if we struggle to create and score goals.

Selling Masch at a high price would give the funds and options of bringing in more players that can unlock defences and have a match winning quality.

Selling a defensive midfielder for £30m is good business as we should be able to pick up an adequate one for £15m or less, but it would be suicidal to do it in January as we would need to bring a replacement in quick and get them bedded in very quick, otherwise do you really think Aquilani will come good playing alongside someone as mediocre as Lucas?.

It's all very well looking for these magical players that can unlock defences, but it is our defense that is letting us down and without Masch god knows how many more times our back four would have been torn apart.

Gerrard can play Masches position. I like his influence on the teams games when his in that position.

I would be quite happy seeing Aquilani move into gerrards position and Gerard into Maschs position.

Gerard will score goals whatever position his in.

if Mascherano went in January, and a decent quality replacement was not signed, it would be either playing Lucas alongside Aquilani, or playing Gerrard and Aquilani in central midfield (which would be great attacking wise but not so great defensively) and Benayoun in the current Gerrard role off the main striker - I don't think that role would suit Aquilani from what I have seen of him over the years.

I think Rafa has got to get rid of the crap players only in January - getting rid of decent quality players at that stage of the season is a massive gamble and our squad isn't strong enough to take such a risk. As previous transfer windows have shown it is very very difficult to bring in top players in Jan.

Sitting 7th on the ladder. It's a gamble worth taking. As ive said if we were flash with cash. masch would stay.


If selling Masch. Meens we could get our hands on Simon Kjaer,Raf Vander Vaart and pherhaps a winger/Foward i would be going for it.

question again... how much of sales will go back to the transfer budget? things are not as clear cut as we would like to have it. after being denied so many times by the board, i'm sure rafa will be thinking twice about selling players to bolster his transfer funds.

its messed...why not we fecking kick yanks' arses somehow out before even january and then debate what to buy n what not

this transfer discussion though is OK and makes feel good but when I realize the bitter fact it makes me sick a hell :S

WE NEED SOME DIVINE HELP

things have gone very quiet on the ownership front... no news is good news? hope something is brewing quietly and waiting for a big bang!

good news been quite disillusioned from us and keep a distance from anfield ...gutted
