KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum New transfer targets

Seeing as Tottenham/Chelsea have trumped us for Wilian, it's important to bring in a high quality player to make up for this disaster. Granted, Rodgers was too stubborn to pay the extra £5m for him, but if we can get Ozil, Benzema or Di Maria from Madrid, then we will go places and thrash teams. We should bid for those guys straight away before we get trumped.

i would like to add a few more unrealistic players to that list if i may so

We can easily sign those players. We're the biggest club in England. Those players should be privileged to play forums

i would love for that to be true but its no longer the case

with our failed attempts to land our top targets so far in this window it looks quite the opposite tbh. admire the ambition though

With Coates injured, i suggest we sell Skrtel for 10-12million and get Papa + Alderweireld in for 20-22mio. Defense sorted for many years.

with whatever we have left, either one of the Ukrainian boys.

If Suarez leaves, we need to prevent Arsenal from getting Benzema. So will ask for him in return.

Wake up dawg, think ur still in a time capsule.

Papadopoulos broke up his old injury yesterday, so he's as unlikely as Xabi with his broken foot!

i didnt know he got injured again! From various reports, he is recovering but yet to play a competitive game.

Liverpool's interest in Willian ceased after Fenway Sports Group refused to pay above their valuation. The Anfield club were close to a £30m deal at the weekend only for an improved package from Spurs to prompt the owners to withdraw.

Rodgers said: "We identify the targets and then try and get the deal done financially. That's how it was. The club pushed as hard as they felt they could financially but it wasn't to be. "It's the owners' money and they will always have the final say because it's they who run the club. What they have taken on here is a huge job. You have seen over the last few years they will finance a project we are trying to develop and what we have to make sure of is we get the right players and the value and worth of the player is right. It's disappointing because this was a player who would have been perfect for us. It wasn't a football reason [why the deal collapsed] and I don't really want to go into it. That's for us as a club really. The bottom line is he hasn't come here for whatever reason and we move on." Copied from guardian online.
