Any midfielder we bring in now should be Gerrard's (future) replacement, not Lucas'... Having a good/great option there would at least afford Rodgers to give him a break now and then even if he can't "bench" him for a longer period.

 

Btw, doubt we'll get either of the players mentioned in January, perhaps we can compete for players of that calibre when/if we qualify for the CL?

Maybe we'd be better playing  a 4-3-1-2 rather than 3-4-1-2. Obviously that would mean an extra body in midfield and we could switch back to wing backs as and when required. The only problem of course is that we are over-stocked with centre halves unless maybe we sell Skrtel in January, and he hardly deserves to be jibbed on current form.

Pastore's an odd one, I was under the impression he wasn't the most versatile and so would be a big outlay for, essentially, competition for Coutinho. Matic I liked from when I was in Amsterdam (certainly impressed me more than Gaitan) but don't know much. Hughes would br a good buy but still so much of it is potential with him.

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.

 

 

We really shouldn't have sold Jonjo.

Anyone actually shed some light on what type of player matic is?

 

That derby kid doesnt look all that to me bearing in mind he seems to get loads of space to play in at that level and we've seen the likes of Spearing and Shelvey look world beaters at that level. Dont rate him, needs more time to see how he develops, going in to early to stop other teams getting such and such a player is what led to vignal's la tallecs and so on being brought in on silly wages etc.

I'd compare him to Javi Martinez, mayabe not that good YET, but has all the tools to become player of such class + can also play several positions including CB and is physically monstrous

 

Good, we badly need that rather than another AM or a middle of the road CM like Allen.

 

Even a shit DM type would improve us.
