I think we are getting 1-2 mil. I thought there was a clause about them having to buy him for 17mil if they stay up but no one seems to know about that one so I might have dreamt it

I know what you're saying but for me it's an unfair comparison when teams have strengthened and we haven't down to the owners (and Rodgers to he fair - Borini).


So who has had a net spend higher than us, probably Chelsea, City, United isn't it? The others who have spent massively have also lost argueably their best players, RVP (Arsenal), Modric (Spurs). Don't think Newcastle or Everpon spent much more than us but i may be mistaken.

WELL THEY COULD HAVE JOE COLE WHILE WHERE AT IT. LITERALY THEY COULD HAVE HIM. JUST PAY HIS COOL 90,000 A WEEK CONTRACT ASWELL.

the facts are rodgers wasnt looking at strikers( out and out strikers) in the summer. eg walcott dempsey sturridge. there all players that can play anywhere in the front 3, which seems to me that rodgers wants to either keep luis through the middle or have an inter-changing front 3 which is more likely in my opinion

i think people who think we are just going to sign a striker and leave him theough the middle are a little naive

oh and id take 15 million for carroll now!

Walcot, Dempsey and Sturidge are hardly out and out strikers.

The only one of those 3 who could even possibly be considered out and out striker is Sturridge.

We do need a number 9 striker someone like Huntelaar.

I really hope all these rumors about him being available for £6 million in January are true.

Much better "Striker" than Dempsey for around the same money. If that deal comes off I think we're quite fortunate that the Dempsey deal did fall through in hindsight.

How's he doing at Spurs by the way? Same with Siggy? Spurs fans that I know of are thinking they were terrible signings.

I think I have my heart set on Huntelaar.

Rekindling the partnership he had with Suarez would be great. It's a dynaic duo, Suarez someone who creates goals from nothing and Huntelaar who is just predatory and in the right place for a tap in, header, whatever it needs to be.

I never really wanted a midfielder come striker such as Dempsey, or a winger come striker such as Walcott/Surridge. I want an out and out Striker.

Proven one too. It's all good and well looking towards the future with youth, but right now we need someone we know can do the job whilst the youth get where they need to be.


Huntelaar or Llorente for me.

If only Woy had got Van Der Vaart instead of Cole hey... We could of been looking at Van Der Vaart, Suarez and Huntelaar as our front three.

Thanks Woy, Thanks a bunch Cole has been a great influence on the team shocked

If FSG wouldn't pay £6m for a 29yr old I can't them paying £6m for a 30yr old.

I don't think the issue is as black and white as John Henry et al sitting in their office going "we can't be bothered to spend any money, there's nothing LFC can do about it mwuhahaha"

Besides, Rodgers released a statement the other day saying that he has been given the green light to spend in January.

I guess we just have to wait and see what happens.

I'd love to know what the green light extends to? They seem to include wages in the transfer budget so removing Cole for nothing is vital. Would Lille take him back?
