KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Looking at our squad.

We don't need to replace Alonso if we play 4-4-2.

Just for the record redordead13 I put Agger in the 'if we get a decent offer we should consider it/ happy to keep'

BUT

the reason why I put him in that catergory is because he is not durable! 164 matches for liverpool in 6 seasons.... lets say 50 games a season (including cups and europe over the last 6 years) and he has played 164/300 = 55%

Yes he has been on the park more this year and is a good player but we need to be ruthless to get back to the top!

That's why I want him gone. Good analysis.

thanks mate! What time were you up at for the match last night? I think I crawled into bed at about 2:30am after it finished. It's not easy being an oot!

The match itself did not start until about 4:30am but I slept during the day to make sure I was fresh lol. Slept around 7am,

Agree pops.His last injury period waqs recovering from a broken rib[not a regular footie injury] gotten in the CC final

Agger fit is our best defender

We need a new manager!

My opinion on the current squad is that we need about 4/5 fresh new signings but need to release, sell or loan out several more...
RELEASE- Brad Jones & Aurelio...

SELL- SPEARING ( 24 now and in my opinion is not good enough, without any real room for further improvement) KUYT ( wonderful servant to us, but starts will be limited and impact of the bench is not as affective as we require when struggling to break down teams with 11 men behind the ball) MAXI (my opinion quality player, with great movemnet and vision, clear not fancied or relied upon) AQUILLANI ( not made impact we all would of hoped for, quality footballer and should of been given extra season) JOE COLE ( for me should be at anfield this season along with aquillani due to ability to open up defences but obvious not in clubs plans)...

Loan Out- Flanagan, Robinson, wilson, Shelvey ( all still young, with much improvement there. would all benefit from a season on loan at top championship club playing week in week out, but with option for recall)...

Buy-
LASSANA DIARRA- £7M-£14M ( proven quality centre midfielder, premiership experiance, dynamic and aggressive, would also ease pressure on LUCAS coming back after a long abscence, replacing spearing position in squad)
CLINT DEMPSEY- £8M- £12M ( proven premiership goalscorer, good in the air, deadly in the box, ability to play uptop, in the hole or out wide, rplace kuyt position in the squad)
IBRAHIM AFELLAY- £4M-£8M ( quick, intelligent, tricky either flank winger or in the hole attacker. ability to unlock defences and attack with pace. replacing maxi position in squad)
JUNIOR HOILLETT- FREE-COMPENSATION ( young english, inteligent, tricky confident winger gets at defence, out of contract compensation needed)
LUUK DE JONG- £7M-£12M ( young 21yr old 6FT2 forward, ideal for 3rd striker with squad rotation. quick in the box forward)

Also if available to be considered- Victor Moses, Adam Johnson ect

SQUAD

GK= Reina, Doni, Gulasci
DEF= Johnson, Kelly, Enrique, Agger, Skrtle, Coates, Carragher
MID= Lucas, Diarra, Adam, Henderson, Downing, Hoillett, Afellay, Gerrard, Bellamy, Dempsey
FWD= Suarez, Carroll, DeJong
YOUNGSTERS= Flanagan, Robinson, Shelvey, Wilson, Sterling, Suso, Coady, morgan

excellent post and well thought out.
