KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum I await a tirade of abuse

Absolutely Stanley, if we need a top class striker and we sorely do, thats what we should be demanding, and not the likes of Owen or Fowler good and all as they were, but they are well past that now.

A decent striker would come to Liverpool but would say an Augero or Robin Van Persie come? I doubt it. I would like to see Carroll sold and get someone else in somebody mobile who would fit into Rodgers system.

Not atall Kane, I am still optimistic of a top 4 finish or damned close to it this season, but the rebuild is incomplete, and that is why I and other true fans of this club have, and will maintain the right to demand the signing of players with the quality to put us back where we belong...at the top.

Well I am note sure what a true fan is. Do I class myself as one? nope! A true fan might be a season ticket holder who ticks all the cup boxes buys every amount of merchandise going, goes to all away games (LFC get a %) and has their xmas party at Anfield and subsribes to LFCTV. A true fan....

No. He never had the choice of us or Newcastle. LFC weren't prepared to £17m for a player they had recently sold for £8m. That said, as a short term 'solution' it solves nothing. Our strikers won't get used to finding the net if they're sat on the bench watching owen trying to fight his way back into the england squad. And we'd have to play in a different way to accomodate him - and then change back when he picked up another injury! From a continuity perspective, he would be a terrible signing.
He knows that his status as a liverpool player is in tatters as far as most fans are concerned so there is no way would he come back.

we need players with something to prove.

Well that description is closer to a fanatical fan Stanley, I know they exist but nope I wouldn't class myself one of those either, even though I would've been a little closer to to it many moons ago. What I was getting at was the type of fan that crops up here with nothing but negative and demeaning comments about everything concerning this club.

But it all depends on your opinion Annefield and no opinion is worth more than any other. For example last year I was negative about Dalglish but it was truly what I believed. Now I am more positive with Rodgers but still a bit negative with the owners and lack of investment / progress. Some would construe that as negative. It all depends on your personality, your past memories and your thought process. No one is more valid than any other none of us can predict the future. I am prepared to believe we are on the up albeit slowly.

Yes that's interesting Stanley because last year I was feeling positive about the owners but now I'm feeling a tad more negative about them, what with the lack of money for signings and the stadium procrastination and so on. I share your posivitivy about Rodgers I think it could be a case of cometh the hour cometh the man. Regarding whether we are on the up or not it looks like the curate's egg to me...good in spots. As I said on another thread we are only partially competing on the revenue front, not at all on the transfer market front and not on the pitch front, so whilst I always look for the positives the negatives keep getting stuck under my feet.

well I think a fan too positive is much more damaging than a fan who is negative, at least with negative points of view there is a challenge to put them right, when fans are too positive they think everything is alrite within the Club, this is why our Club is where it is now, we have been allowed to drift because fans have lived off the back of past glories too long, like I say much more damaging than negative fans.
