The ideal January signing

[moof]

Does anyone know when is Borini back?

 

January, I think

[Glock21]

Bent is an average striker. I'd keep Downing and sign Huntelaar. Or swap Downing for Ba. Not Bent.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

You can't just choose who you're going to swap him for, Glock. I bet you play a lot of computer games.

[zigackly]

I'd swap Downing for Messi.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I'd swap Downing for Messi.

 

Here's a plan: we swap all our shit players for all the best players in the world in their respective positions.

 

Good thinking, Glock. Wish we'd thought of this great plan years ago.

[Bobby Hundreds]

You'd think downing would be a good squad player at least but he doesn't even offer that he's so spectacularly mediocre. The sad thing is I don't think our squad is big enough to lose any players at all other than cole.

[John McClane]

Downing and Henderson both made the 22 man squad for the Euros only 4 months ago. Somebody must want them.

If only Hodgson was still a club manager.

Yup you can, come and join me clownboy.

[lamai]

i'd swap downing for half a packet of wine gums

[Nightcat]

Not sure about that Messi-Downing swap, it might be a bit over the top. But Dowining-David Villa is on imo.

 

January, I think

 

January?! ffs I thought we'd be back earlier.

 

"Smart" decision to leave the team with two strikers.

Rowntree's?

 

You're dreaming pal!

Or better still Kenny, at least that way we would make a profit on the sale:whistle:

Messi is a shit full back..

[TheHowieLama]

I'd swap Downing.

who comes on here when they are clearly propping up the bar of their local?

[fin-bat]

Messi is a shit full back..

 

Leo should play in the hole, otherwise he doesn´t really fit into the system Rodgers is trying to implement.

[Il Fenomeno]

The other day? Have you actually watched Suarez before he joined Liverpool?

Uruguay reached the WC semi final and won the Copa America in 2011 with Suarez, Forlan and Cavani up front.

 

Cavani only started two games in the copa america, the first two group games, and then the rest of the tournament was played with Suarez leading the line and Forlan behind him as Cavani was injured.

 

If you're going to lie about something at least make it something that isn't easily disproven via google!

So you admit that there was another striker on the pitch alongside Suarez. Who is lying again?

 

"Only" two games with the full trident of Forlan-Suarez-Cavani? Add to those "only two" games another five games in the World Cup.

I said Forlan was playing in behind Suarez in my first post on the thread aswell. So not sure what I'd be admitting to as I've been saying it all along.

 

Maybe we just don't have the same definition for 'lone striker'.

[ngogswilly]

Well, I think we call agree we need more goals. I couldn't give a toss who we buy as long as said player helps carry the burden with Suarez. We can't rely on him by himself. If he gets injured we're capital "F" Fucked.

[The Night Fox]

A strong holding player to compete with a fit Lucas.. Joe Allen is substandard to say the least; far too lightweight in the tackle and a '100% pass completion record that consists of backwards passing. Mo mo Sissoko would be brilliant after an excellent season with PSG last year

[Whelan]

The other bonus about Bent (I say this as though there are quite a few!) - is that he may bridge the gap until Yesil/Morgan/Jordan develop, Bent in our current team (Suarez out) would be shit, Bent in a team with Walcott, Sterling and Gerrard playing behind would be okay (in the short term). And we get rid of Downing!

[Bobby Hundreds]

Weird isn't it we used to go mental when linked to bent saying the club should be aiming higher, it doesn't take long for owners and co to lower expectations. When we were giants.

[John McClane]

we ARE giants Bobby.

Just having a snooze!

You called me a liar. Although I proved to you that you are telling half the truth about the games Cavani-Suarez-Forlan started for Uruguay.

 

Practically you claim that in his national team Suarez is played as a lone striker while you admit that he's been always used alongside another striker and most the time he played alongside two strikers. So your conclusion is that, we don't need another striker, especially a forward like Cavani, which is very odd, considering the above.

 

I'm sure you've spotted how empty remains the opposition box and that there is no one to combine with Suarez. Two shots against Chelsea and Rodgers said that's not good enough. I agree. We don't simply need a striker, we are desperate. Our number one priority.
