Summer Transfers 2014

[aws]

I don't think Alves is all that.

 

Me neither. At their best Barca had two types of attacks - one which ended with Messi doing some magic, the other with an Alves cross or pass into the box being intercepted.

[stringvest]

yep, followed by a counter where Alves was always behind the ball going in the wrong direction

[Jairzinho]

The 3rd type was the odd occasion he was allowed to take a free kick. They ended with a goal kick.

[El Dangerous]

Falcao to Liverpool? He's got some pretty great agents, Ayre wants to watch he doesn't get swindled. I can just see it now.......

 

 

 

 

Ayre finally gets his man in Never Ending Transfer Saga!

 

[liverpoolsno9]

Falcao & Reus it is then. Well done Ian

Ayre, after all the shit he's been given, he's come up trumps.What a fucking transfer window .

I hate to say I had to create an account to say this but believe it or not, Suarez is gone, can everyone please get the fuck over it. I enjoyed lurking this forum until it became a 'nothing but Suarez is good enough' circle jerk.

 

Not only are we constantly reminded Suarez 'was in the top three, if not the best, football players in the world last season' but that we somehow MUST replace him. Believe it or not gents, replacing one of the top three players in the world is no easy feat, certainly not a problem solved overnight.

 

Personally im more optimistic than I have been in many a season for the future of Liverpool Football Club. This is the season we prove we are more than a one man team. The season players such as Sturridge, Sterling, Coutinho and Henderson step out from the huge shadow cast by Suarez and create their own mark in our great history. We have some of the brightest young attack minded players in the game coupled with the one of the brightest young attack minded managers in the game. I can't fucking wait

[G Richards]

Well said. Repped.

[s(k)aturation]

Repped as well.

Mostly because I haven't heard the term "circle jerk" in many a year.

Indeed, perhaps since '79.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Blah blah blah, Mitch. Beans or no beans on a fry up?

[Bjornebye]

Iker fucking Munain is just sat at home reading this, looking at his , feet, reading again, taking a sip of his sangria, rubbing his calf, reading more, shaking his head. "I can be the answer to all your dreams gentlemen and nightcat" in spanish.

 

Anyone live near brendan rodgers? Knock on and remind him of this fucking gem of a player who is perfect for what we need. Him moreno and alonso. A new spanish revolution.

 

Fuck lavezzi

 

[Aldonose]

Iker Munain is fucking boss.

[Josef Svejk]

From 1980...

 

[Josef Svejk]

Whatever happened to that Falcao-is-older-than-he-claims-to-be story?

 

Edit: Yeah, this story: http://www.101greatgoals.com/blog/is-radamel-falcao-27-or-29-years-old/

[El Dangerous]

Iker Munain is fucking boss.

I'd like to Basque in his glory.

[cmuller]

Muniain will hardly add the goals we need. A goal every nine games or so in his league career to date.

[an tha]

Reus for 20m, make it happen. Now.

Another bloody sky generation super fan stuck in the past.

[JagSquared]

Reus won't join us as much as I want it to happen. He has his pick of clubs and we are not quite there yet in terms of attracting the best talent.

Welcome. I don't think we were a one man team or need to prove we weren't. I think most players like those mentioned had good seasons precisely because Suarez demanded that everyone else raise their levels and made it easier for them to concentrate on their own role for the team. I don't see having players of Suarez's level overshades developing youngsters, I see it as a benefit.

You're probably right but it'd be worth a try anyway and even if it's just a 1 or 2 year rental we'd probably make a profit and no one will give a shit if he helps us win things.

That fucking spambot is infiltrating existing threads as well now.

 

Sort it out, Dave.

No leave it alone, it's making more sense than most of us.

[JagSquared]

Yeah there is no harm in trying. We should definitely be putting out the feelers.

 

Thing is I think most players would just see us a stepping stone right now. But would the likes of reus see us as real step up from where he is now?

[Saintslfc13]

Yea I get what you're saying. My opinion is that unfortunately without an extremely wealthy sugar daddy owner (or group obviously) or a really maginificient season such as a league and CL double, or one of those and very close in the other, we're going to have to take our time in getting our reputation back to where people feel like coming to Liverpool is basically a guarantee of some sort of success.

[Mitch79]

Very true. Maybe I used the term overshadowed a bit loosely. There's no denying Suarez was our greatest asset last season and most certainly pushed our team to play to a higher level, especially the youngsters. At the same time I feel at points last season there was definitely a reliance/expectation on Suarez to create something and with him gone there can be no excuses. Now is the time for our players to step up to the plate and perform. Like I say, I'm optimistic, and I believe they will.
