KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Liverpool F.C.'s fantasic new forward line up

Sturridge,Balotelli,Lambert,Sterling,Coutinhio,Lallana,Markovic and possibly one more striker maybe E'TOO , along with can ,gerrard and henderson just a great squad , i dont understand why some are on a downer over this .

I think everyone is pleased with the depth in the squad, Faz. I think some may be skeptical about one or two of the signings but I doubt many would argue that the squad has been improved.

I think we are in reasonable shape but we have not signed balotelli or eto yet or have we ? It all depends though on how they perform and blend a lot of unanswered questions before we start trumpeting how great we are

have faith mate , these players are not the aspas's or borini's of this world , balotelli is a top player e'too is still a very decent player for a short term deal if it happens .

Very well said Stan.

Looks fantastic on paper - the thing that I worry about is the way Chelsea played against Burnley the other night, so quick and powerful on the ball, we look a long way behind them at the moment. Fingers crossed we get a bit of luck where we need it, when the players are settled and they've shaken off the summer we take the league by storm again.

Like the cat that got the cream with our signings this summer tho

Not so sure we'll be signing Eto'o if the Mario deal goes through. The Guardian is usually reliable....
''But Eto’o is viewed as an alternative to Balotelli, not part of a double transfer''.

I think Eto'o would be more of a disruption than Mario would.

Why's that?

Eto'o is a great player, not quite the player he once was. I see him as a mercenary rather than someone like Mario who is still young enough to be moulded by BR.

I personally think that's a load of tosh. He's won tiltes and champions leagues at clubs all over Europe. He's never been cited as a disruptive influence. Just because he's played for multiple teams doesn't mean he's some poisonous mercenary.
