Reds linked with Pastore and Matic

Anyone who can improve our chances of a EL qualification is to be welocmed, both of these do, if they will come,.

Don't you think those players, added to Suarez, Sturridge, Coutinho, Gerrard, Sakho, Agger, Toure, and Mignolet would be improving our chance of CL qualification rather than EL qualification?

You seem to be in the habit of talking down our chances, based on little more than how much playing experience our manager has. Frankly, it's overly negative and a little bizarre.

I don't even remember Matic at Chelsea, although he played two games for them apparently.  I saw him play in the Europa League final last year and remember thinking he looked class.  I can't see us paying £30m for a midfield player somehow though.  

Pastore for £17m I could see happening, plus he falls into the same kind of category as a Sturridge, Coutinho, Sakho etc of being a really highly rated player who ended up on the sidelines at a big club for whatever reason.

Brendan loves his restoration projects, Pastore would be right in his wheelhouse. 

Pastore for 17M, I'm happy with. Matic hasn't been as good this season, had a falling out with the manager if I remember correctly..

                 Mignolet

Johnson Toure Agger Enrique

        Gerrard Lucas Matic

                 Coutinho

          Suarez Sturridge

Kind of like a narrow 442 diamond? Think we'd do better to look at somebody who can stretch play (a winger) rather than somebody like Pastore, though.

Now that Moyes is looking at Will Hughes after our courting him for months, expect Utd and Spurs to be linked soon.

Both excellent players but can't see us paying 30m for anyone until we are already CL qualified

Will Hughes looks like he's going to be a top player who would fit in with the kind of football we play.He is apparently a lfc fan aswell and I hope we do a deal for him in Jan even if we loan him back to derby until the end of the season.

Will Hughes looks like that 'nice fella Whitey' from Me, Myself and Irene.

He also looks like a peroxide Ray Parlour.

If we're still where we are come January, maybe FSG will loosen the criteria and the purse strings to bring the midfield up to speed.

Matic is excellent and would an amazing signing but I am afraid he would cost +30m and I'm not sure he'd interested coming to LIverpool, better go for M'Vila, cheaper, younger and even more gifted player. Also I'd prefer Firmino, Fischer or Leandro Paredes over Pastore, but he's a good player too.

Alonso,Menez and Ince are all free in the summer so could be available for cheap in Jan, I'd take menez and Alonso.

I'd like will hughes over pastore and matic personally. The lad is already class and is going to be fucking brilliant. Heard he is a boyhood red as well so we need to tie something up for him soon before the vultures start circling. 

I haven't seen enough of matic lately to say yes or no but pastore would be a good addition. 

nice to see us linked with a better class of player though. 

I'm driving down to Chelsea to pick Mata up and drive him to Melwood and not letting him go til a deal is done to sign him if they haven't started using him properly by january

Pastore would be a decent alternative should that not work however although I'd prefer someone who could also play wide in order to interchange with Coutinho, don't know much about Matic but we seem to do okay with Chelsea castoffs!

we really do need a player like Matic right now whilst Huges would be a big bonus, but top DM is a priority

Will Hughes is going to be an excellent player, I reckon.

Will Hughes is one ugly looking fucker, let the mancs have him.

He reminds me of Luke Chadwick.

                 Mignolet

Johnson Toure Agger Enrique

        Gerrard Lucas Matic

          Suarez Sturridge

Wouldn't Matic be looked as a replacement (or "competition," I suppose, if you're a huge Lucas fan) for Lucas?

I would think it would be more like:

Mignolet

Johnson  Toure  Sakho  Cissokho

Gerrard  Matic

Suarez  Pastore  Coutinho

Sturridge

which is a title-contending team, with a lot of depth with the likes of Agger, Enrique, Henderson and Moses rotating in or coming in off the bench.  That's if we somehow got both of them, which I doubt is financially possible.  Far more likely we'd buy Pastore and Hughes for the future, or just Matic might be affordable if we sold someone like Agger/Skrtel for a decent wedge.

For either of these two to come here would be tacit admission that our midfield set-up is wanting. I can't see Rodgers having the will to bench Stevie - Lucas, maybe. Why would any top, or even good player, come here if it didn't mean he'd have a solid chance to compete for a place?

All our best teams down the years consisted of "ugly looking fuckers" from Tommy Smith and Phil Thompson through to Sammy Lee and Peter Beardsley....it's only when we got people like Redknapp John Scales and the like that we started goin shite.

These players we are linked with how do people think they will fit in at Spurs?

Fuckin hell is that Derby's kit?  Looks like it's been put together by a blind spastic.

Pastore was quality a few seasons ago and would be great if we could get him in.  Suarez will be leaving at some point.

Dont know  anyhting about Matic but Matteo Kovacic at Inter looks like he is going to be some player and exactly what we need.

Kovacic was the piece which Inter used to keep the fans calm when they sold Coutinho, can't see them selling him to us as well.

Unfortunate choice of kit supplier if so.
