KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Ramirez set to sign for LFC?

first thing wrong with this is thats not the formation hes planning on playing, im not trying to put down any ones point or seem like im arguing but the formation that he intends to play is he said this from he got appointed take a look at swanseas current formation and also barca

glen---agger skrtle--jose

--------lucas-----------

---stevie--------aquilanie

joe cole---------------gaston

-----------suarez----------

so there wont be any second striker role located right behing the main man but more so out on the wings. he plans on having one holding midfielder which is lucas which he joe allen wouldnt be a bad buy as he plays the same position and if lucas needs to be replaced our only other substitute would be spearing which is a big NO!NO! nothing s wrong with getting a stronger squad getting 3 players that possible fit the same position wouldnt be a smart buy also when you have players using left foot on the right they normally tend to cut in which is great when you have that on both wings but having a left footer on one wing and another left footer on the other wing it makes your play become predictable cause at every point atleast one of them as to be cutting in.

And for the other guy yes i watch fulhams games he doesnt play out wide its duff and dembelle that plays wide they push him up behind the striker in the hole to pick up the ball bring it forward take shots or create. him being purchased isnt bad because he fits in where stevie or aquilanie would go especially to the fact that hendo and adam is no good. in regards to the USA formation you have to realise their midfield is a flat 4 basically with 2 strikers whenever they play the lone striker they have to play him behind the striker because they need to pace on the wings he doesnt have it and our formation is going to be with one striker up top. I guess my issue with relating all this to you guys is that your not applying it to the expected formation to see what makes sense and what doesnt.

Ok, please read the post before you try to tell me how wrong I am. I didn't say what he would play, but I what I would like to see. Totally hypothetical and based on my preferences. Also, I didn't say he played there for Fulham currently, I said has, past tense. He also frequently plays there for the national team. They don't always play that formation, and in the Bradley years he played out wide frequently.

I didn't want to argue about the formation Rodgers would use. I can't read his mind, and I doubt he's set it absolutely in stone after just a few weeks on the job. I know he's said on record that he wants to implement a philosophy, not a formation. Formations are based on the players you have.

In regards to your formation, if you want to talk about likelihood, he's pretty much said Aqua doesn't want to leave Italy. So including him (and spelling his name wrong) is a moot point. Secondly, Joe Cole has just as much a problem with pace as Dempsey does. Third, Suarez is not a center forward. He does not do well left isolated there up top by himself. We saw that this season. Carroll is the only CF, like him or not (though Sturridge could fill that role, since he prefers CF). 4th, Luis, Clint, and Gaston are highly ambidextrous. Luis has gone down the right flank plenty of times without cutting in this season. All left-footed players aren't as one dimensional as Downing. 5th, When did I say we shouldn't get a back up for Lucas? I just said were linked with these players, and I liked them. Quit putting words in my mouth.

But if not putting it in that formation has your knickers in a twist, fine.

I disagree with your analysis of Dempsey as a Gerrard type. He's not a box-to-box mid. However, he can score from distance. I think a hard-nosed trio of Dempsey, Gerrard, and Lucas would be effective. All three have a good passing game, can tackle, and both Gerrard and Clint are dangerous running in. Clint would also do well on the left (or right), with Gaston as a more creative influence deeper.

Also, I agree with Augi. They all don't have to start. They all offer something different (even if they're all left-footed). Would it hurt to have a deep squad? A right-sided player like Johnson, or a DM to cover Lucas would also be welcome.

wasnt putting words in your mouth i was making reference to someone else unfortunately i dont know how to quote more than one person at a time

Seems like this rumour might be a load of crap. Thought it might be to positive to be true. I hope I'm wrong, but I can't see it happening unfortunately.

yep!it looks like that rumour is dead in the water.it looks as though we are dtermined not to be seen to be buying good players to replace the crap that we have.i would have thought that after employing "number 1 target" rodgers they would have shown more intent and backed him with a bit of cash,but it seems that the club is trying its best not to sign anyone.the club are basicly saying dont believe any rumours because we arent interested.

I think nobody knows who Rodgers wants as most of these targets are from the last regime

We have been bringing in lots of scouts and changing the network so things are moving

I heard Gabriele Marcotti on talksport yesterday saying that at £16million he doesn't think Ramirez would be good value and apparently he's not very consistent for Bologna.

Tell will tell what Brendan Rogers is planning.

yep i have faith in him bringing the right people in

So your ignoring the important facts that Fulham havnt ALWAYS put him there? And regardless of the difference of formation, Dempsey has shown he can play both wings for club and country. The formation point is irrelevant to the fact that Dempsy has played out there many times before. And can play out there well.
