British players Roy could sign

[Monster Masch]

Dorrans is a top shout. He'll be a fantastic player in about three players.

[Guest LFD]

If we signed him and another striker, I think he would be a decent signing. Good target man to have in reserve.

 

Carlton Cole would be better wouldn't he? Younger for starters.

I wouldn't mind Zamora either. I would like us to have a big lump of a Plan B on the bench so we can apply some physical pressure and serious route one stuff at the end of games if needed.

[Monster Masch]

Joe Ledley is ready to make the step up. I am not sure if it's at Liverpool though but he could play for a top 10 team. If he signed he would be of similar value of Murphy in Houllier's team.

Saying that I would not pay more than £6M, £7M.

 

I think Kuyt could be used as a big lump by Hodgson. I'd be happy with Torres, Kuyt, Pacheco, Jovanovic and a new striker. Kuyt, Pacheco, Jovanovic can all play different positions too.

jesus christ.. zamora is not liverpool material at all!!!

[hamstrung]

Most of these players are mid-table shite.

 

As Purple Nose said, the ones that are half decent are out of our price range.

 

The strategy of trying to get the young ones like Shelvey seems the best bet.

I agree with the price range but not with Kuyt taking that role. I'd like one of those players that we just hate when comes on against us because they always cause a lot problems (bruises) for our centre halfs.

He's flavour of the month, a la Hodgson himself. People get caught up in the hype. Remember when Diouf was flavour of the month?

[Dogbert]

Stephen Ireland has been with city since he was 15 surely he counts as home grown now(or does he have to be registered with the 1st team from 16-21?), not that city would sell to be honest.

Christ on a bike, its a sad sad day with some of the names mentioned being good enough for Liverpool Football Club.

Supprised nobodys mentioned Heskey yet.

 

50 posts in 6 years good going that.

Emile Heskey

:whistle:

[Moschops II]

Oh, for a time machine to take people back to start of the Hicks and Gillett era and show them threads on the internet salivating at the thought of bringing in Joe Ledley and debating whether we could hope to afford Scott Parker.

 

Might have had a few protests a little quicker.

[Troubadour]

Ireland counts as homegrown because he's come through City's academy, so he's a legitimate consideration. He'll go this summer, too, and if we sold Aquilani, he'd be a decent shout. Quite like Onuoha as well, but he'll end up across the park, it seems.

 

Mark Noble's the standout one for me. Really good Premier League style player, young, and probably reasonably priced (£8-10m?), which with sales isn't out of our range. Collison's good at West Ham, too, and Carlton Cole as a back-up striker.

 

Not seen a lot of Dorrans, but were Fulham not linked with him before Hodgson came here? That may not be a bad shout, and he'd get goals from the midfield.

 

Talk of right-backs is unnecessary - we have two homegrown right backs, both of whom are far better than anything we could buy (Johnson and Kelly) while the only centre back good enough is Cahill, who's the best defender outside the big seven. If we had money, he'd be a belting signing, as would McCarthy at Wigan.

It's all about Jonjo motherfuckers!

Its where we're heading isn't it? May as well start to accept it

[Gary Mac Legend]

Before Rafa left, he was investing in young talent for the academy that would be coming through in a few years, If the academy is now allowed to rot, that will be a massive shame. Rafa knew we'd be heading for a few dark years, but with talented players coming through the academy, a few decent additions alongside them, with new owners we could be a force again in 3-5 years. Anyways, I imagine Purslow and the like will not care one bit for the academy.

[Tubal Cain]

Centre Backs - Gary Cahill, Ryan Shawcross, David Wheater, Danny Wilson, James Tomkins, Jordan Spence.

 

Full Backs - Joe Mattock.

 

Midfielders - Lee Cattermole, Mark Noble, Jack Collison, Tom Cairney.

 

Wide Players - Joe Cole, Ashley Young.

 

Forwards - Connor Wickham, Victor Moses, James McCarthy (Scottish born but plays for ROI), Andy Carroll, John Fleck.

 

I'd like to know how much that lot would cost but do like the list, some very good prospects Wickham Moses Fleck. Some are duplicates as play the same position and style but a lot of promise. Give Roy the list

[Ian Sea]

I don't rate Zamora, he's gash. One decent season doesn't chance a career of mediocraty.

[Unrighteous]

Mattock is a good shout.

[PaulMcC]

I'd rather sign good players before thinking about where they come from.

[MLB]

I'd take Dorrans and Ledley as squad players, if we had shitloads of money to spunk on squad players (which clearly we don't). I'd take Bellamy and/or Crouch as first team players.

[Lee909]

I'd take Wheater as well.

 

Noble would be who I'd go for though. I think he's a cracking player and if West Ham are soft enough to sell him i'd snap there hands off.

 

Do you not think Wheaters a little slow?

I like Noble though alot of potential, Collison looks like he could become a good player aswell

[Wor Horse]

Jordan Spence is shite. I've seen him first hand at Orient. Won't even make it at West Ham let alone us.

[Lee909]

Charles Nzgobia can get a English Passport now, There was some talk in the press about him and Almunia being able to play for England, so would he be classed as homegrown?, same with Hargreaves with the mancs
