If we can try and stay within 6 - 8 points of he top 4 by end of Jan and make a couple of decent buys. I do think we can have a good crack at 4th
Set up for the top clubs
Reina
Kelly skertle agger Johnson
Leiva
Suarez gerrard Allen sterling
Huntelaar
Bench, wisdom, Enrique, downing, hendo, suso, jones,
Set up for the mid and lower teams
Reina
Skertle agger Johnson
Leiva
gerrard Allen sterling
Walcott
Suarez huntelaar
What do you think?? the 1st team there looks really good and would give anyone a game

Sorry but wtf would walcott want to join us? Or huntealaar? There's nothing for him in Liverpool, FSG wouldn't buy him and I doubt very much that Schalke would sell him if it increased the risk of losing out on qualifying for the CL. You haven't thought this through have you, 'vexed'?! money.money, money simple as that, the only way to make that leap is to offer significantly more money. Schalke -yes we can, Arsenal - I am not so sure. how did City start? mid table team with lots of cash. no real history or european football - money

Huntelaar and Walcott wouldn't break the bank in terms of wages or transfer fees though. Man City when they were first taken over could possibly aspire to getting a player like Falcao nowadays but would have to pay him 3/400,000 a week possibly. Those are the kinds of players and the quantity of them that City's money enabled them to buy

Forget about him and join us in the real world.

You haven't thought this through have you, 'vexed'?! Carheex maybe your right (in carheex world) but the principle point of he thread is that we are only 2-3 class players away from being a very good side albeit on paper. I dont think its inconceivable to get 2 very very good players in during the transfer window. if the club made a start now and showed real desire to get there man, even it means to pay a little more for them, even under the FSG mentality i think its worth it. ok so Huntelaar is a little old then how about Siem De Jong from Ajax. we're not talking 30-40mil on one player here, were talking 30Mil for 2 top players max. and considering the money FSG have saved or not spent I think its a real possibility. and get rid of downing and cole for sure, theres at least 10mil there so a net spent of 20. COME ON FSG pull your wallet out and show us you really mean business!!!

All I can say is I can't wait until Lucas gets back, that's like signing 2 players for me. Yeah we badly need him back, but will he be back to his best before his first injury? I hope so, but even if he is it'll take a few games to get his sharpness back I feel.

I'm ALWAYS right in 'carheex world'! :-) And yes, we would have a decent side 'on paper' if we signed 2 or 3 good players, but the same could be said for most premier league sides. For us to improve sufficiently we need to spend/improve more than the teams above us otherwise we'll stagnate. I don't think FSG can afford to give us what we need and I don't think BR is good enough to improve us without a huge windfall.

i dunno, come on, you cant say that your unhappy with the style of play, cos we do play very well annoying but true. and although the interview rogers gave was the 'SAME OL THING' it was true. we just cant finish teams off with a couple more creative additions, it will give us that little more cutting edge to change from draws to wins.
some of the players have set in there minds that we cant go that extra step to get the wins, and we need other players to change that mind set.
COME ON YOU REDS !!!
