KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Transfer window £20 mill - How is it best spent?

my big concern is that normally when new owners come in the press are full of big stories of which superstars we will sign. Whilst as we know most are punts in the dark they do however collectively give an idea of the quality we are looking at.
you look at the links to wright-phillips, Brunt, st ledger, C cole etc. None are what you call wow signings, just more journeymen or mid table players. When we spend our dollars I want hungry young players with potential.

the lessons of Poulson and Konchesky need to be learned. Problem is Roy rarely buys a player under 27yrs old.

i think SWP is a given to come to liverpool and i think that will be a good signing. we really play boring football at the moment and its so one dimensional. We need a winger who can go round the defenders and get a ball over. we have no one to do that. SWP is a very frustrating player to watch but I think its a good option for us. look at spurs, they play the best football at the moment cos they have 2 quality wingers who go past their man and get the ball over 10 times a game! We need that. we have j cole on the left who never runs at the full back and kuyt on the right who is the most defensive minded 'forwards' in the PL! I think stick with the strikers we have and get 2 wingers. I miss Reira! Even though he was annoying and sometimes rubbish, he was exciting to watch and actually played as a winger. I also miss Pennant who was just as exciting to watch. since those two, we have had no quality wingers!

first thing id spend it on would be paying roy off.

The way things are going in term of player linked to Liverpool, i have to agree with Dingo. Pay Woy to [oops] off. Before he bring the ship down!

if we only have 20m to try to get into the top 4 we have no chance, we need a CB, LB, LM, ST

CB:Ryan Shawcross; not a bad player and good enough to step up
LB:Retro Zeigler; Good player, well better than any of our current LB's anyway, i can't have 3 years of more torture of konchesky! hopefully jack robinson gets games
LM-Edin Hazard/ Ashley Young; personally i'd rather take hazard especially for the long term though it may be a risk
ST-Mario Gomez/Soldado/Negredo; All these players seem to be on fire at the moment and hopefully we snatch one of them up, my pick would be negredo but time will tell

All these should be on list and only these, forget center half crap, we got cover.

For start there all at lower club, or not being played.

Turan
Hazard.
Sanchez
Pablo Hernandez
Coentrao
Sissoko
Sakho
Taiwo
Benzema
Van Wolfswinkhel
Mario Gomez

Firstly we need to generate more funds by selling some players like Babel, Jovanic (who wants to go), Kuyt(His step father needs him at Inter Milan, Poulsen, Konseky and also Aquaman ( he is not coming back and we need to strike a deal with Juventus now for atleast 15mill).

Priorities are a Left back, Centre half, Left winger and a striker - in that order.

The biggest Priority however is to get rid of ROY ASAP

A couple of points...firstly, surely we have more than £20m to spend!? £40m interest annual interest payments just chopped down to a mere £2m annually. Secondly, the new owners who got us for a snip at £300m and had to show Broughton, Purslow and Co that they had serious wedge to invest in the squad, surely have to give a statement of intent!? Jeees...we've been outspent by Stoke and Bolton the passed few windows, time to bloody show a few people that we're back and back with a bang. There's even some of the Masch money left, which RH was trying to spend on Aug 31st, but couldn't! That's still in the pot...we should be spending £50m minimum this window. Young, talented players who fit the NESV blueprint are out there...Hazard, Benzama, Aguerro, Honda etc etc...lets be bold and go for it!!!!

aguerro would cost 35m so that wount happen

u really think we need a new left back more then a winger or a striker? i really dont understand those pple like you. apart from gerrard and torres we got northing going forward and you think we need a defender more then a attacking player.
am just happy yr not our manager
