KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum We have been fantastic!

I agree with Vish and Maxi, but my point is, so far we have been very shrewd. We are by no means done yet. Need a left back and a striker still... but so far i think we have made some very good signings, especially in Lallana, Lovren and Lazar. Undoubtedly we need a bit more quality at LB and up top. I don't think Danny can do it all alone and Lambert is ageing.

So spending £20mil on a 'young player with no experience of winning titles' is a bad move according to your thoughts on Moreno?

But spending £25mil on Lallana who has no european experience but has 2 seasons of mid-table premiership experience and is 26 years of age, this is good business according to you?

Also your happy to spend £20mil on Bony who has performed for again, a mid-table premiership team? Albeit the one season he has had in England.

Lallana has proved his worth in the premier league though, as has Bony, Moreno has not. Lallana and Bony both performed very well in mid table teams, which just means it was even harder for them to score and assist. I believe its easier to score and assist when the team is stronger overall.

But Charlie Adam, Stewart Downing and Andy Carroll performed well in mid-table teams?

To be honest I didn't/don't know him and as I thought this position as a priority, I expected a well known talent. Maybe he is, so this box is ticked. LB and proven striker are the big priorities and has to be very soon to be able to gel with the team before the start of the season. We should not lose ground as this year will be more competitive I think, with Van Gaal instead of Moyes and Jose buying his main targets very quickly.

I think a top class forward/striker is an absolute priority now, as I'd be very nervous going into the new season with Sturridge despite his good performance last season given the cups, CL and Pl competitions.
Most people are focusing on LFB position but are we happy to face all the above with Johnson at right full back?

Have we not taken a right back on loan? Don't think we'll be doing more in that position, we also have Flanno and Kelly. We cannot/shouldn't change a whole team neither.

Emre Can - a bargin
Markovic - great
Loven - best signing in the Window so far
Lambert - a subs sub
Lalana - pointless since we have Coutinho, and already signed Markovic and Can who play in his possible positions, 24 million wasted.

if we didn't sell Suarez this would be a truly fantastic window, but we did and we are yet to replace him with anybody, its not just his goals but also his commanding presence upfront, in the game vs Olympiacos the forwards couldn't maintain possession in the 3rd half and lost possession quickly, Suarez didn't just score he also opened up the game for everyone else, I'm a bit worried now to be honest.

Adam, Downing and Carroll did do well at mid table teams, the difference being that Downing and Adam played in teams that played a completely different style of football to ours. Southampton play a very similar style to ours. As far as Andy Carroll is concerned, i still think he is a useful player especially if the team plays to his strengths. Newcastle did that and he shined, then he joined us, a less physical side, centred around Suarez, not him, and he faded.

Look how brilliantly Milito did at Inter under Mourinho, they built their team and style around him, and the second Mourinho left and they changed their style of play, Milito disappeared from then scene.

Lallana is going to play on the wings where we have Sterling and probably Coutinho. How can you say it was pointless buying him, do you think that any of our players will be able to play all the games of the season? As attacking midfielder/wingers we have 4 players (Lallana, Sterling, Coutinho and Markovic) for 2 or 3 positions (depending we play more attack or defence), don't understand how anybody can say it's too much. I think we will also need Ibe with the number of games we are going to play.
