January Transfer Window 2015

[El Dangerous]

He's supposedly coming as Gerrard's replacement, not Lucas.

Every midfiekder we sign for the next 5 years will be a 'Gerrard replacement' regardless of if they fit the profile.

 

I didn't mean like for like replacement for Lucas because I don't think Rodgers will sign a specialised DM like a Makalele type but a replacement in as much as he'll take his place and play his position.

[Gnasher]

This fella apparently..

Oh ffs! And to think i just left the Katy Perry thread on the other board for this.

[Jack the Sipper]

Rossiter, Chirivella, Williams, Phillips. Surely over the next couple of years we can start to develop a good squad player or two out of these rather than waste more millions on the likes of Alberto, Sahin and Delph. We should only be signing players who are clearly better than what we've already got. 

 

Rodgers has done great with Sterling but he is a one off talent and only brought Flanagan in as a very last resort. That aside there's still a poor link between the academy and first team. Even Van Gaal with the Mancs has used a fair few players from their academy regularly in the league. We can't even get one of our lads in the team against a 4th divison side. Rodgers tends to use one of these kids once maybe to prove some kind of passive aggressive point and then you'll never see them again (Brad Smith, Jerome Sinclair). 

 

We've spent an absolute fortune on shit squad players whose places could have been given to some of these lads while we saved our money for proven quality. We still won't learn this. 

 

Hang on here. It's fair to say that Flanagan was a last resort for Rodgers, but then so were the academy players that Van Gaal has played, due to injuries. and what of Januzaj, who's progression has stalled under him?

 

Lovely to see Bony making that move and therefore smashing the stupid notion held by many on here last summer that he wasn't good enough for us. Seemingly the same notion held by Rodgers.

 

How does him moving to City smash any notion that he wasn't good enough for us? I personally would've had him here in the summer, but him going to City doesn't confirm anything in itself.

[Phoenix]

Is Demba Ba better than all of our available strikers at the moment and would you have him here?

 

Yes. Wouldnt have been anywhere near the first choice , but would have been a better option than Balotelli  and Lambert.

 

Only Sturridge is better than him.

[RazorBack]

So hypotetically we could have a striker option of: Higuain, Sturridge, Ba and say Lambert/Borini in the summer and it's not exactly too impossible for something like that to happen. It's hard for us to understand how can our beloved club fail on the transfer market so often and so miserably..

i know someone who works on the backroom staff at Swansea and im 99% certain that Rodgers did not think Bony was to good for us. They seemed to believe Bony to us was a done deal early in the summer.

He's played James Wilson ahead of Falcao at times this season whereas we've had must win games without any kind of striker on the bench and Lambert up on his own. 

[thompsonsnose]

Would certainly make beating Besiktas easier.

And would have possibly made losing to Chelsea harder too.

[Boss]

Charlie Austin is a weird one, 3rd top scorer in the whole league, scored tonnes of goals for every team he's ever played for, yet no-ones interested in him. He's got an air of Kevin Phillips about him.

[Gnasher]

Reports that Ever are about to sign David Marshell from Cardiff for 6 mil. Brilliant keeper.

yep, he'd be brilliant here especially when Rodgers loves a lone striker and some dross in midield, his hold-up play is immense.

Best news all season. That way if he flops at City we can all call Rodgers a small-time Mong for rating him. If he does well we'll just use the other one.

[Philbert]

I think I saw a stat somewhere, calculating LFC's transfer failure rate at 91%. If accurate, heads have to roll don't they?

[El Dangerous]

If David Marshall is a fantastic keeper we should have no problem replacing our shit one.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

Bony would have been a shit signing just like Balo is.

 

Don't you guys gerrit? It's about the type of player as much as it is about their ability. Bony would have been a lot better than Lambert and Balo but he would only have made sense could we have spent another 30m on a mobile, dynamic, fairly quick striker like Suarez was.

 

Bony is none of those things.

Bony obviously doesn't have the movement of Suarez, but he's mobile and has decent pace for the unit he is. 

 

In the summer it was 'He's lazy and not a team player' now he's not quick enough and that. Does he need to be lightning quick when there'd be players round him like Sterling and Sturridge who have pace to burn? If we'd have bought him over what we did, we'd be comfortably in the top four right now. 

[ritchie]

Shame he didn't insist on him then like he did Lallana and Lovren for stupid money. If Rodgers wanted Bony and was talked into settling for Balotelli then i'd have sympathy for him but the committee had to talk him into signing Sturridge, his one good signing along with Coutinho. 

 

Chances are Bony would have been a flop anyway if used the way Balotelli has been. I don't even rate Balotelli but I can see he's been used poorly.

New Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew is also keen to be reunited with a player he worked with at Southampton

Liverpool are waiting for Lille to find a replacement for on-loan striker Divock Origi – and that could set in motion a chain of events that sees Rickie Lambert leave the club for West Brom, writes Neil Moxley in the Sunday People.

The Reds have agreed to pay the French Ligue 1 side a £3million fee to ensure that the teenage Belgium international – who they bought from Lille for £10m in July and loaned back again for the current season – is returned to Anfield early.

But Lille are stalling on his release while they search for a replacement for the highly-rated 19-year-old.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that he has no intention of selling Lambert during the current transfer window.

But the word is out that the striker could be surplus to requirements, with new Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew keen to be reunited with a player he worked with at Southampton.

Lambert would be reluctant to leave Anfield but, having realised his Liverpool dream will not result in a regular spot, is equally anxious to play football rather than sit on the bench.

New Baggies’ boss Tony Pulis is also a long-time admirer of Lambert, 32, and also has Blackburn Rovers striker Rudy Gestede on his hit-list.

Pulis made sure he has the final say on transfers when he thrashed out the terms of his deal with West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace.

And he has asked to be kept informed on any potential movement as far as the Liverpool and England forward is concerned.

If a club is willing to pay us a fee there is no reason for us to hold on to Rickie.

We always knew it would end in tears.

[ritchie]

Lambert needs to be moved on. There's no use him being here next season so if we can get a nominal fee for him now and his wages off the books then do the deal. He'd be a better fit for a Pulis team. 

[Gnasher]

If David Marshall is a fantastic keeper we should have no problem replacing our shit one.

He was one of the best keepers in the premier league last season and has been outstanding for Scotland.
