True Crown, but he was technically to be our 4th choice striker had he returned. I am just in the process of doing some design stuff ahead of the new season. Interestingly we haven't been linked with a left-back for a while... Is Robinson good enough to compete now? I honestly don't know who else could cover there? I know Johnson has in the past, but I think losing Enrique to injury would put us in a predicament. Someone just mentioned Cissoko? I know Ilori can play left-back but he can't be ready to compete after less than 20 games surely?! And while I think Downing could do a job there, I don't think he is staying.
I expect Mkhitaryan to come in as I said before. I do expect another centre-half too. I hope we bring in a left back. I think its a key area right now. Not because Enrique is not very good, just that he has no competition / we have no Plan B there. Robinson isn't the answer, no matter what the question is. If Enrique gets injured is pushed up to left wing, then we've got Johnson to step in - he seems better at LB than RB. Definitely Robinson is not the answer but don't think Johnson is the answer either. Full backs in BR system are like wingers and you need to be a true left footer to play there. I think we need cover for Enrique.

if i had to guess i'd say net spend won't exceed 20/25 mil and may be far less than that if suarez is sold If you're right Maxi, Brendan Rodgers will be some magician if he can get us into the top 4 with that spend, considering where we're at, and what our competititor's are said to be doing, recruitment wise. Although the net figure of 25mil is small enough, it is and should be further supplemented by the sales of Carroll, Shelvey, Spearing and probably Reina and Skrtel and that is before Suarez so in effect he could have up to 60mil gross to spend and potentially 100mil. So its sell to buy then, Ah well I suppose Westbrom do it so....

Robinson is a fair prospect. We also have 4 decent RBs (Johnson, Kelly, Flanagan, Wisdom) who can surely be expected to fill in on the opposite wing now and then?
Downing might make himself useful as well !

Come on now, hold on, Carroll, Shelvey, Spearing have all proven to be surplus to requirements, so whats wrong with selling them and cashing in? Reina has openly stated he couldnt turn BArca down and Skittles has been having a fit since Carra pushed him out the squad. I prefer a player throwing a fit and wanting to play rather than taking it quietly, it shows his hunger. I think Skittles will stay, and will probably come good again too.

Personally dont get the complaints, not long ago we had just Torres and Ngog up top, now we have 4 options in Suarez(?), Sturridge, Borini and Aspas, not that i'm overly happy with the latter 2 but both still deserve a chance one did a great deal to keep up a struggling side last year and 1 had an injury plagued season and although im not his biggest fan i will go out on a limb here and say Borini's movement and off the ball is FANTASTIC, we have a healthy squad now good competition for places if Suarez leaves 1 or 2 should defo be added and before then we could do with another central player and another winger, but i am optimistic but cynical about the coming season, optimistic because i always am going in to a new season and plus with players like Johnson, Agger, Enrique, Gerrard, Coutinho, Sturridge, Suarez and even Hendo i think we have a very good base, hopefully our new signings will provide the goods too, i'm cynical because Spuds and Arsenal are been linked with the likes of Leandro D, Higuain, Paulinho, Fellaini etc who are proven and look better on paper.
No,this is not a good town for psychedelic drugs.Reality itself is too twisted.

To be fair, I think Wisdom has been adjusted to play right-back for the long-term. I think there's a lot to his attacking game that makes him look a good option out wide. I'd agree with you on Kelly though, I think it's fair to say his best position is most definitely centre-half, because despite playing well on the right, it was incomparable to his displays in the reserves in the centre. Just my opinion though.
