KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum we need 5 midfield players

not a big fan of shelvey and think he could do with a loan spell next season

we should sell adam and bring in a proper midfielder like Tiote.

SPEARING should be sold ASAP

Unfortunately we were once in a place where we had a good solid squad short of 2 quality match winning players to take us back to the top.

Unfortunately previous owners screwed us over and kenny/comolli have wasted over 100m on average players.

We need to start signing 'quality' players instead of 'squad' players in order to improve.

Sadly i don't see us appealing to many players now unless we pay crazy wages like man city had to do where they had to sign the likes of Robinhio.

We need six players in order to get back into the top 6, two forwards who will both score goals and play as a partnership, two wingers, a play maker and a goalkeeper I also think we need to be monitoring the left back up until xmas with the view to shipping him on if he continues such disasterous form.

It's all well and good signing loads of players, but then it will take the squad months to settle and playing as a team. It will be another season like this one flashes of excellence but no real consistancy

At least for me I believe that we should give aquilani a chance. It won't be any money for us and im not saying he has to be the starter for us, but he should play some games because obviously gerrard can't play the whole season anymore. He really cant' do much worse than adam or henderson. Idk i just think might as well take that risk since what we are doing now isn't working anyways... so i would have a rotation between gerrard and aquilani and i guess henderson from time to time, but not nearly as much time as tthis year. The reason for me saying that is because I dont think we can find anyone else to sign for a creative midfielder, although i may be mistaken since we pulled meireles out of nowhere last year and he was decent.

i don't rate aqua , but he can pass the ball a bit maybe in a more advanced role where he doesn't have to work or pick up. still nobody really seems to rate him, he must be a lazy [oops] in training. plus we are gonna shove him on loan cause of his wages. another italian team ,another one next season and then one last one.

he might not be amazing but i think he could open up the field a little bit

I agree it wouldn't hurt to be a bit more sink or swim with some of our youngsters. But doing it to the extent your suggesting, asking suso to be as good as a 20 million pound player just like that is very unfair and it'ts incredibly unlikely that he's gonna be able to do it. It's a nice idea. But it's much easier to say than do. Otherwise Everton would be getting top 4 instead of Chelsea. The teams that buy tend to do best. Because they buy better players. A good mix is best i.e. united to an extent, also to more of an extent, but to ask tht of our youngsters is a bit much in my opinion. Like I said, very nice idea, and I wish we could do it, but it has a very high probability of miserable failure, and its evident that fans from every club aren't known for their patience anymore.

if a poor milan team don't want him then he shouldn't get a look in at our club. unfortunately milan wouldn't want any of our midfielders .

With all this talk of us needing a creative midfield player, I'm wondering, what happened to Joao Carlos Teixeira, the 19 year old creative/attacking midfielder we signed from Sporting Lisbon? He looked a good prospect but I haven't seen him play for the reserves since signing.

Any chance of seeing this lad in the first team next season?

By the way, nobody has mentioned that it looks increasingly as if Aquaman and Cole will be back next season. Could either of them do a job?
