Rummors are still going about that we want Sturridge for 10 mil, Dempsey for 10, Ramirez for 16, and Johnson for 15. If only half of those go through, I'll be very happy. wouldnt be as great as you think, 3 of those players are left footed, one of them is a CM thats turning 30 after the first season the remaining three if you get 2 of them the third wint be needed and you would have to sell couple of players either maxi bellamy or downing. We absolutely should sell Downing, that's a no-brainer, and Maxi and Bellamy will be bit-part players anyway (I'd like to keep them, especially as mentors, but we could easily part with one). We could easily accommodate the 4 players he mentioned - though there's no way we'll get all 4 so it's a moot point...

That's more what I was thinking, though I thought Borini just signed a new deal. Yeah, I thought Borini was dead in the water, but the Telegraph linked him over the weekend which is a bit more substantial than your average rumour. You're probably right though...

I don't know that Downing must go necessarily, but I would rather see Gaston or Dempsey on the left than him.

how would you accommodate all those left footed players, with your explanation please apply it with the intended formation. Getting all three theres noway they would all start and we would still have an empty slot we have been crying to fix for the past couple of years which is a right winger playing any of them on the wing would just see them cutting in every chance possible.
why would you play dempsey out of position on the left, he as no pace no speed, his dribbling isnt great, if hes bought it as to be to fill in for stevie or gerrard in the middle of the park, his built and physicality would dominate from the center than trying from the wings.

Dempsey has played as a left or right mid for Fulham, and he frequently plays as a left winger for the US national team, though he has also played as a deep lying forward. He can play on the right side as well. I actually think his dribbling is pretty good. So is his passing game and he has an eye for goal. I personally would like to see:
Reina
Glen Agger Skyrtel Jose
-----Lucas----Stevie------
Suarez----Gaston-----Dempsey
-------Carroll-------------
Although Suarez could play on either side and Dempsey could play in the middle.

Your leaving Mr Sterling out mate!
If he and Suso do not feature for us next season (and they are not on loan) but still at the club, under Rodgers management, then I give up! Perfect manager for them in so many ways for now and their future development! I can't think of anybody better apart from Pep, at this moment in time.
We have so many good players in the youth team that can make it for us. I firmly believe that.

That's assuming they mature enough. I want to see them play, for sure, but I wouldn't want to start them all on the opening game.

But I could see Sterling playing on the left for sure. If he and Suso break into the team, I can see us really having some options this year.

They wouldn't have to all start every game, but we'd have a very strong squad! Would that be such a disaster? Also I don't agree that you have to be right-footed to play on the right, or left-footed to play on the left...all of those players can potentially operate anywhere behind the striker....
