KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum The answer to the January Striking problem

well most of them are playing in top 4 sides..long has propelled WBA into the top 4.its not all about goals u know ,would u turn ur nose up at rooney cause he is not scoring loads this season. ...long is a constant menace and his crossing is unreal,setting up goals too..he has also been out injured for a spell..so his return is fantastic so far...his performances even more so.

anyone can score against zonal..john o shea v rafa's system a prime example

EMP, I like Long and think he'd be an ok signing but you're going a bit over the top I think.

He's not a big name so most on here wouldn't consider him but for a decent fee I'm sure he'd do a job. A young Kuyt perhaps?

Long is not worth 20 million, he is better than Robbie Keane was though IMO. Still though for 20 million its rumoured we could snatch Walcott and Huntelaar both these add alot more than Long.

Those who would suggest that Long is average and we should have higher standards cannot give an alternative that is realistic. Forget the Huntelaars of this world. Ain't gonna happen. Unless the Americans have changed their recruitment policy again, a player like Long is just the kind of likely candidate we should be considering. PS. Didn't think posters who comment with a clear and obvious tongue in the cheek should be accused of making "pathetic comments."

Had enough of signing midtable players, time to move on and sign the RIGHT players for once that can propel us up the league quickly. Huntelaar is realistic because with a good pay package we can lure him here.

Long has developed into a very good and committed front player and wouldn't be a bad signing for us if we could get him in janurary.
of those mentioned; Walcott, Huntelaar, Long and Bent, I would rank them Thus:

1 Huntelaar
2 Long
3 Bent
4 Walcott

and of these four the one I don't want us to sign is Walcott, he's no where near the kind of finisher we need to play with Suarez.

Totally agree with Walcott Anne, I just don't rate him he has never been prolific, similar situation with Sturridge, just don't rate these players and they are not what we need. Huntelaar is the exact striker we need but will FSG man up and sign him?

Heavily link with sturridge todayI really don't rate this guy, he's greedy, up himself and above all Sh1te!

Hopefully Sturridge is a smokescreen. If the Yanks sanction 12 million plus for this player, it would confirm that they don't what they're doing and haven't learned from previous fiascos. I would be surprised if this deal goes through. His own fans at Chelsea think he's crap. Would Chelsea give us 12 mill for Borini?????
