KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Goal Scoring Midfielders!

Hello Redmen,

Glad to see that we have been seriously linked with Gylfi S and Clint Dempsey!

Both could be had for under 12 million and that would be epic in my opinion.

BR has already diagnosed that we are a good team but a team lacking goals. Should have just asked us lot on here. We would have told him that!

All great teams need goals from Midfield and we are barren in that department apart from SG who will chip in with his customary 10-15 if he is fit all season.

The rest of our current sorry bunch barely chip in. Downing (mentally one of those wearing the heavy red shirt) has been mega disappointing and Lucas doesn't get goals in general.

Adam just won't cut it under BR I reckon. Too slow and ponderous and that was before the incoming high press tactics of BR.

Kuyt looks on his way but was never a midfielder. Henderson will grab you a few and hopefully will develop into a better player under BR.

The only other player who I reckon could become a regular scorer is Jonjo S. He has an eye for goal and as time goes on, I think he has the potential to develop that part of his game.

Gylfi S has career stats that show he can get a goal in every four games. That's a healthy return!

Clint D has a career average of 1 in 3 which is phenomenal. Last season would be hard to replicate as he bagged 23 in 46 apps but stats usually don't lie.

Good players usually keep on their personal ratios over the course of their careers. That's why I was so disappointed we got Stewart D instead of Juan Mata. Mata scored 1 in 4 for Valencia and has replicated that at Chelsea too.

The stats add up in this case and if we buy these two players for a combined 12m or so, we are looking at about 20 + goals from those two players and SG. And I don't think that is being optimistic either!

Fingers crossed anyway!

Be carefjl with stats... remember downings stats haha.


I do agree with what u say the lad from hiffenheim would beba good start. 80k a week already off the wage bill

Gylfi is an amazing player, i watched him for a while now, i liked him at Reading, he didnt get much time at Hoffenheim but he showed his class again at Swansea

he is the one person i hoped we would sign.

I hear you but Downing's stats were pants apart from his last year at Villa!

That was his best season in an underperforming career!

In his best season (before we bought him) he scored 8 league goals......

Sigurdsson did that from being on loan from January!

Sir Alex is no fool. Ashley Young scores 8 league goals in his worse season. We end up with KD buying Downing.

Big mistake at 18-20m!

Only last week Dempsey was asking for any clubs in the CL to make a move for him. Can't see why he'd upsticks from London to move to a club with no CL football that only finished 1 place above Fulham.

Why Carheex?

Cos out of the four Champs League teams, two of them definitely wouldn't buy him (Man City/Chelsea).

Man U could in reality really use him and would be a slim shout.

Arsenal are the only realistic contenders though. After that, we would be a serious contender.

We are bigger thean Spurs and are still a big pull. ALways respected your views Carheex. Unlike so many jokers on here that seem to think that because we haven't been in the CL for three years that teams like SPurs are suddenly more attractive.

In reality, the 4th spot of Champs league will be for floating teams over the next few years.

I can easily see ourseleves in the mix for fourth place with either Chelsea, Arsenal or Spurs battling it out for positions 3rd and fourth in the league.

Realistically at his age nobody in the CL from this country is going to come in for him unless Arsenal if they lost van Persie perhaps. However for a player who would have 3 good seasons left in him he would be an ideal replacement for Kuyt and certainly on last seasons form an upgrade on Kuyt for not a lot of money.

GyfI Sigurdsson is a very good option, he was excellent for Swansea

And BR won't rule out going for him if he's not happy with the new Swansea set up, could be our first signing..it'd be a good one

Im sure Sigurdsson would rather sign for us, that if he has hopes.
