Summer 2013 Transfer Thread

[tcb]

You could put them in a 3-4-3. (I say it like it's alien because I doubt we'd ever try it.)

 

 

 

----------------Soldado-----Sturridge-----Aspas

 

--------------------------------Luis

---------------------Coutinho-------Stevie

-------------------------------Lucas

 

------------------Toure-------Agger------Kelly

 

 

Was thinking about how we'd play attacking-wise in a couple of formations earlier that's all as I was wondering how Suso would've fit in if he'd stayed. Clearly not ideal to put Luis there but his potential to create for others could work really well. Obviously he'd be better in the front 3 though, in this case I'd prefer one of the front 3 listed here on the bench and Suso (if he'd stayed.) where Luis is.

 

Ha ha! The fuck?

Who's gonna defend against opposing wide players there? Coutinho and Gerrard? And Soldado out wide... Ever seen him play? He's a classic centre forward, and centre forward only type player.

[TheHowieLama]

Not too worried about Papadapa in the air tbh. If it becomes a problem we can just get him to stand on one of the five or six little fellas that will be in the side.

[Barrington Womble]

Loaning Sterling would only be a good idea if we're making more signings in that area' date=' surely. I think Sterling should get plenty of minutes here this season, not sure a loan to West Ham will aid his development. Yeah he may play more games but he might not, he'd be better served staying here and integrating with the new look squad IMO.[/quote']

 

For me, unless players come in, sterling is gonna get plenty of time and despite how last season finished, will be in front of downing. And however much time he gets, got to be more value than watching the ball get smashed up to Carrol and chasing the flick on or racing Nolan to the knock down. He'll learn fuck all playing for that bellend.

I liked the way we handled sterling when he was young, there were clubs looking to loan him but we said he wasn't available as club wanted to continue his development here and not risk his confidence being affected by a bad loan spell.

 

Spearing going to hull or wherever his first loan was now looks like a mistake and set him back imo.He went from looking good against Madrid to not being able to get a game in his position for a championship club.

 

These bad spells can have a negative effect as view of player by club completely changes and they start thinking if they can't do it there how will they at lfc.

 

I have worries of a similar thing happening with sterling, if he stays here and gets a few games here and there he will still be viewed as top prospect that has to wait for his chance, if he goes to west ham and doesn't play a lot or well he will be viewed not good enough for lfc.

 

Allardyce is a manager known for getting best out of players so that is encouraging but there style of play is not the way sterling will be required to play at lfc.If we do loan him I can only assume we have at least 1 or 2 top wingers coming in as I thought sterling could have played a decent amount of games for us next season.

I've hardly ever seen Soldado, but I didn't mean for any of the front 3 to be actually in those positions, just as one of them. As for defending against wide players, Kelly could clearly go out to do that on his side, not sure about how Toure/whoever would manage it though. Once one goes to the wings to defend though Lucas could drop back to cover.

 

It might look insane on paper, but could probably work against quite a few teams if we kept the ball/pressed well enough.

[Megadrive Man]

Nearly all the tabloids are running with this story about Papadopoulous.

 

I didn't realise that he hadn't played since November, It all seems a big risk for the fees being mentioned, although some reports suggest it would be a loan deal first.

 

As for Sterling, I really hope he doesn't go to West Ham! It will ruin his game being expected just to hoof the ball in to big Andy as the earliest opportunity.

If we want to loan him can't we offer him to Swansea maybe?

I wonder if the mirror were getting their stories mixed up yesterday when they said skrtle on loan and had to prove his fitness?

[ShellSuit]

The Express have linked us with Salomon Rondon as a replacement for Suarez. 50 goals in around 200 appearances. Anyone follow the Russian league? Or is this just another case of journo's throwing out names willy nilly in hope that one will stick?

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Rondon? Very popular with Japanese tourists.

[setreal]

José Salomón Rondón, I heard of him yesterday - first time I did - because Dortmund are supposed to be in for him.

[Mathewbet1]

we ve signed that left back

[Spy Bee]

Rondon? Very popular with Japanese tourists.

 

Hahahaha very very good!

[Code]

I don't rate him. I could be wrong, but I very rarely am.

 

 

When trying to be a smararse its always a good idea to get the quotes right.

 

Who said they did not rate him?

You're right, people need to get the quotes right. This is what you actually said about Coutinho.

 

I hope we dont sign him, I have a feeling it will be a waste of money

Didn't you once say John Pantsil is a better right back than Glen Johnson?

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

He has history with fullbacks. How's Konchesky doing, anyway?

[Mathewbet1]

How's Konchesky's mum doing?

[mht1892]

How's Konchesky's mum doing?

 

Code's currently got his stats book rolled up and is shoving it up her arse.

[Jairzinho]

Venezuela press saying Liverpool want Rondon Rondón en la orbita del Dortmund y Liverpool | Fútbol Venezolano

 

Do want.

 

and cue the Jairzinho entrance....

 

Heh, yeah. Somewhere a pair of ears just pricked up.

 

[Code]

A better buy and so he would have been.

 

Since we signed him its only gone downhill, maybe the money could have been better spent elsewhere.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

A better buy

 

No, you said he was better. You said Pantsil was better, that Steinsson was better, that Ćorluka was better.

[Chippo]

Rondon is better in the air than with his feet so i doubt we are in for him

[Sugar Ape]

Voronin being better than Rooney and Tevez is a personal favourite of mine.

[Code]

No, you said he was better. You said Pantsil was better, that Steinsson was better, that Ćorluka was better.

 

I had been arguing the lack of value in such a deal for pages so you would assume even the most retarded would understand the post.

John Pantsil would have been a better buy then Glen Johnson?

 

Da fuck?

 

I know Glen isnt the best defender but if you'd be happier to see John Pantsil playing for us right now, then your a little bit looney.
