KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum spanish players on their way?

I'd say we're def interested in Martinez and we're not interested in Raul.

We'll go for young players with potential or high quality established star players in the summer (if we can afford them).

Raul doesnt fit into that category at this stage in his career and would cost a fortune in wages.

The quality spine of the team have been signing new contracts so I imagine a few squad/ edge of first team players will be moved on, the cash will be spent on bringing in fewer but top quality players. Kelly, Pacheco, Nemeth and possibly a few other youngsters will get more games to make up for the squad players moved on.

On the plus side we do actually have a fairly young team anyway.

Obviously the big question is will we have any money to spend... if not will we see a big name go to finance the spending... or will a big name demand a move to fulfill their ambitions which they wont think are possible under the current ownership.

he got baked by ribery tonight. smoked for the whole game.

Javi Martinez would be a good signing like torres has I think he would prefer the PL he likes a tackle and is technogly very good I believe he will be in to replace aquilani not Lucas, raul' wages would make any move for him impossible, mata should be our number 1 target closely followed by Simon kjear and taiwo

Rafa is one of the top ten coaches in the world and we need him to stay. Javi Martinez is a super prospect but not sure how he'd fit into our team with all the cm's we have.I know Jose Segura is a massive fan of Martinez and has strongly encouraged Rafa to get him. Think Raul is a legend but not sure he could stomach sitting on the bench behind Torres. We do need a second center forward and natural width. Both would be good additions. Can we afford them?!

Kevin Doyle emp?!!!! Lay off the wacky...

my 4 yr old's named Lucas... after George Lucas this is

on to the topic... javi would be great but doubt raul would come and play 2nd fiddle. wages would be a problem too. also thought we've already signed jovanovic on a free?

To be honest some of the players linked are promising but we so need more width in the squad and a second striker more then anything else.

On the note of Rafa, i have come to the conclusion that as long as we end the season well he will still be at the club next season. However if we don't start next season off well he will be under very direct pressure. One bad season is not good, two bad seasons equals total failure.

yea, you may be on the money there kent. but i'd say he'll have abour 4-6 months to turn it round next season and then he's out the door. which he will be. sick of hearing excuses from him, looking at strange tactics, watching horrible football, and listening to lies and empty promises.

mangers who have a bad run usually have the run for a few weeks, not a whole season. moyes being the perfect example. ive more respect for moyes's talents as a manager than i do raffas.

i wasnt saying what i wanted, or thought would be a good idea, but i get the feeling kent is right, thats what is GOING to happen. its not like LFC boardroom are waiting on Koptalk's Free Forum to decide on raffa's fate.

Raffa would be a good assistant.

I think the moves in the transfer market confirm it. Why would you buy players on the input of a manager that wouldn't be there. Thats is pure crazy.

I agree flames mate he wont have long if things go bad next season and he still has to gain my faith back because like you haven't been too impressed with him this season.
