KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum The January Transfer Window Will Define Us As A Club

Yeah Shaggydog, you may recall my posts during the summer and indeed before that demanding that Henry put his money where his scalpel was and give BR a fighting chance to rescue things, but sorry to say I got little support from folks on here. People were posting silly stuff about henry being wise and all that rubbish. Last summer was the key time for investment and the penny pinching fool flunked it. We would be lucky to find any top notch strikers in January, I think we have to make do with patchwork untill the summer and then enmasse demand significant investment both in attack and defense.

I remember us finding suarez in January just keep the faith

After the way things went down over the summer, I would have to believe management will make it a point to succeed in the transfer window in January to avoid further embarrassment and to push the club forward so they finish as high as possible on the table.

I think they will cut more dead weight as well.

I still don't think Pacheco will make it, Suso, Wisdom and Sterling all have Premiership experience now and will grow as players, can't see that happening with Pacheco.

Think Henderson has a future under BR but I'm glad he isn't playing week in week out!

i dont think hendo has a future here. the main reason i say this is we dont/wont have a massive transfer budget and BR will have to raise some money. we dont have alot of players that can get as reasonable price tag for to help build up the budget but hendo will raise one of the most from the players that are on the fringes.

Fair point but if we sell Carroll, Downing and Henderson were going to take a massive hit on each of them...

One of the major plus points this season will be seeing some of the mentioned youngsters coming through and hopefully being part of the first team squad for years to come. If we can do this regularly then we won't need a massive transfer budget...

making these young players year in year out isnt that easy. at the moment we have a bunch of them coming up but for the last 10 years we had no-one. i hope we can produce these players but we cant rely on this alone

I know we can't rely on this alone but say Wisdom, Sterling and Suso go on to be first team regulars, how much will that save us in transfers?

And they will be classed as home-grown I believe...

we will have saved alot of money but we still need to invest heavly on top class players

I disagree, we need to invest in the right players not just big names.
