Summer Transfers 2014

[JoeyJones65]

 

We do need another forward...if there is a belief inside the club that we can cope with Sturridge, Lambert and Borini until January, then it's a belief that is misguided at best, sheer stupidity at worst.

 

Sturridge treads on a nail and we are basically fucked as far a guaranteed supply of goals is concerned.

I get asked the question constantly. But I am told Liverpool, at this stage, are not pursuing a move for Marco Reus

 

[J-V]

Are you mentally divergent friend?

 

Shit film.

[Jairzinho]

You used to be a solid poster J, but now you're lazy. You've got to put a shift in and put yourself back in my plans.

 

You inspire little effort, you big mentalist.

[Gym Beglin]

You inspire little effort, you big mentalist.

It's hard to imagine that I'm a real person, isn't it.

 

Look, just pull your socks up and get in here early each day, put the work in, and we'll have a sit down before the transfer window and see where we are. Is Remmie still your agent? I'll PM him and put something in the diary in late August.

 

I want to keep you, I've got a wide attacking position earmarked for you, but I won't lie, there's been interest for you and I've got to listen to it if you won't put the graft in.

[J-V]

Origi deal has been finalised.  Shame we couldn't keep him for the Season he'd have got games.

 

"I am very happy and delighted a club as big as Liverpool showed interest in me. I'm very excited.  I know it's a club with a great history, great fans and a lot of great players.  For me, Liverpool is one of the greatest clubs in the world and I'm very excited to be part of this great history."

[Brigant Moloch]

Origi is our 3rd good transfer this window.It'll be wise now to start upgrading our first XI I guess..

Plenty of players on offer...

Remmie was fired ages ago. Absolutely fucking useless he was, trying to get me to move to fucking Eastern Europe.

 

If I can get more money elsewhere I'll be off quicker than you can say "I'd rather sell pine nuts".

It might just be me but I'm really happy with our transfer window thus far. If we can add a really good left back and another forward I'll be delighted.

I can't be really happy with the loss of one of the best players we've ever had. That's not a criticism of the owners. Just how I feel...

He was always gonna leave at some point. I suppose once it looked like he was forcing his way out it was very easy for me to stop looking at him as a Liverpool player and move on.

I'm in between. I'm happy with most of the players we've bought in, but when you lose a mega-player like Suarez you'd ideally want to replace him with something very special.

I think a lot depends of that "if" though. I'm fickle. If we get Moreno and a quality forward I'll be pretty pleased. If we resort to Bertrand and just keeping Borini as back-up then I think people have the right to a little whinge. 

[Grinch]

Lost our best player and spent a fortune on players to improve the bench, yeah I'm fucking delighted here.

Indeed. Absolutely massive boots to fill. However the squad is completely unrecognisable in terms of depth and quality from last year. Swings and roundabouts. (Also I'm still optimistic we'll add a nice creative forward, of course).

[moof]

Our first 11 was the best in the league last year. It's our bench that cost us the title.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Lallana and Lovren aren't here to improve the bench, and Can and Markovic will be getting lots of games. Overly negative there, mate.

Debatable, what isn't is it's much weaker now without Suarez.

Knob.

Don't rate Lovren any higher than Skrtel, Sakho or Agger tbh.  I'd also be very disappointed if Coutinho doesn't push on to be a much better player than Lallana could ever dream of.   No doubt they've been bought to start, time will tell if they're improvements on what we had or very expensive bench players.

[moof]

I can't help but think you're looking at this in an overly simplistic manner. We're not going to be able to adequately replace Suarez, so what we're trying to do is strengthen every other area of the squad. It's so that injuries and suspensions don't hurt us as much, it's so we don't have to rely on Aspas and Moses to change a game for us when we need it, it's so that we don't have to rely on Kolo Toure to shore up the defence when we're short or when our backs are against the wall. We've lost the best player in the world but by the end of the transfer window we'll have a much more balanced squad and be better prepared to fight on multiple fronts. IMO.

Yes I'm sure we'll miss his prolific 6 goals he's scored in 40 games.

What is he, like, 19?
