KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Transfers we can expect before the season starts

if he is class how come he only scored 8 goals and got 10 assists all season? kuyt got 14 goals and 10 assists and unlike young he never took a single set piece! young is not good enough end of - with carew and laursen to aim for in the box from corners and free kicks he should have got shedloads of assists if his delivery was any good

Trep Young may flourish under Rafa's guidance. I reckon he is worth the punt.

Young is a class player but I wouldn't have him at the club over Silva. We need somebody who can break down a 10 man defense. Somebody who can play all the little through balls and one twos around the box with torres n gerrard etc. Take on a man and lay it off or shoot at goal.

Silva maybe slower than Young but we have no problems playing counter attack with the likes of Riera and Kuyt in the team so I don't think uber pace is what we particularly need. The games where you need something special to break the deadlock. This is were Silva will offer more than Young imo.

Still if we couldn't get Silva I wouldn't mind Young I just don't think he should be our first choice.

Either would be good IMHO

i only included league games emp and young started 47 club games kuyt 46 (though he did have 3 sub appearances) so not much difference in the number of games played!

you can't use the fact that kuyt plays for us as of any value in this argument as young takes free kicks and corners so should be able to pile up the assists from them ..... just face it he is over rated (like doyle)

oh and as for you talking about destroying teams i think you must have watched a different player from the one that got shown up to be a lightweight diver against a lower league team in the fa cup and who never turned up for another game with the right attitude

he is not good enough for us

I'm with Joel on this - I would welcome Young or Silva.

I also think it's what that player can do for us and not so much of what they've done before.

he's still a very good player Emp. I like Young too but if it's Silva that'll suit me. Both, even better.

We have players like Gerrard, Riera, Torres and even Babel (who I think will set the Kop alight this season) to whack one from 30yds or run at defences.

as well as Dirk who did well last season and Yossi who should build on his performances form the end of the season.

If Young was good at whacking them in from 30 yards he would of done it a lot more last season. Villa play a very pacey counter attack game its basically oh we have the ball, give it to Young/Agbonlahor and watch them run.

From what I saw of Young last season he was more likely to get brushed off the ball or run into a corner and concede a throw in/goal kick. Hes still young so hes going to improve but I still think Silva is the better option.

But don't you think in a better, more stable attack he would be better?
