British players Roy could sign

[Wor Horse]

Yeah but he'd probably send his mate to the Passport meeting.

[Arl arse]

Some of the names mentioned on here would be my idea of how a relegated Liverpool side might look next May.

 

You're all fuckin insane if you think they should be in any Liverpool team.

[Irishlad]

As stated before on this thread, all British players that aint shit are either too dear, or wouldn't dream of joining us.

[MLB]

We've heard all this before though when we were linked with Milner and others. They weren't good enough for us either according to many of the FM/CM experts on here...

So who do you suggest then? Don't say Milner either please. A small matter of around 25m -30m reasons why that wont happen

[Soleilrouge]

who gives a flying fuck if they are british or not?

Danny Murphy does.

To be fair I could well have been one of the ones saying Milner wasn't good enough myself. I doubt it like (I would probably have had more of a problem with the fee at the time), but there's been too many occasions in our recent history when people on here have been protesting that a player isn't good enough only for someone other time to buy them and have their value quadruple.

[Phoenix]

Midtable players to go with the midtable manager

[Aj the red]

Yeh lets burn him at the steak already , he clearly aint good enough

Fair point.

 

Adam Johnson was the last British player I would have wanted, but that's too late now for obvious reasons.

I just don't think at this time there is anyone around good enough.

and nobody likes burnt steak.

Don't even get me started on Johnson!

[sir roger]

I suggested Collison & Knightly on a similar thread last summer, immmediately plunging both players into an injury & personal nightmare, so after much pleading from the PFA I am not allowed to contribute.

 

My alter-ego however was massively impressed by Connor Wickham in the recent U-17's UEFA tourney( The nearest thing I've seen to Shearer since Alan was a teenager ) & if money was available I would buy him for £6/7m or so & loan him back to Ipswich for a year for further seasoning.

[Code]

Bellamy? Murphy? Bent to replace Torres? Fuck me, already resigned to life in the mid-table? Remember Bent at Tottenham?

 

Bent scored 1 goal every second start for Spurs, he has come with a goal guarentee wherever ha has gone, but its difficult to score if you dont get playing time.

[Gary Mac Legend]

Did you see some of the chances he spurned!? He wasn't good enough for a struggling Spurs, yeah let's sign him....

 

I think if we're looking for a striker, Gieuseppe Rossi is a good option. And I think he counts as home grown

[DooooodekNo5]

Francis Benali and Ian Marshall.

[Jose Jones]

Bent is better than Rossi.

[Magic Sponge]

Brett Omerod.

[Guest PurpleNose]

Bent is better than Rossi.

 

At being English.

[PaulMcC]

Didn't Rafa want Wickham?

[CJB]

Only ones I'd consider of having the possibility of being good enough for us are Gary Cahill, Phil Jones, Jack Rodwell, James McCarthy, James Milner, Graham Dorrans, Adam Johnson & possibly Matt Jarvis (I can't decide whether he's genuinely a good player or we were just that shit against Wolves). There's no chance of us getting Rodwell, Milner or Johnson and while the others would definitely improve our squad, they're, at best, only as good as what we've already got.

[The Golden Eel]

Shawcross

Collison

Connor Wickham...

A Liverpool fan whose role model is Fernando Torres, Wickham spent four years on Reading’s books, living in Aldershot, before his father’s job in the Army led them to Colchester and trials with Ipswich. He made sure he studied sufficiently hard to gain eight A-C grade GCSEs before leaving Philip Morant School last summer.

 

“He’s a very level-headed young man,” Peacock said. “I think he’s at the right club and Roy’s done a really good job with him, steadily developing him. He’s a goalscorer but he’s matured a lot in his build-up play.

 

“Physically he’s a real specimen of a young man so it’s no surprise he’s dealing with the physical demands of Championship football. He’s had a lot of accolades this year but he’s dealt with it all in a very mature manner. Within this peer group, he’s just one of the 18. That can only be of benefit to the team.”

 

Well at least he is a Red thats a start.

 

The signings of Shelvey and Sterling have to be a bonus as they are probally two of the best young English player's around and they are already on board.

 

I think Tom Cairney (Hull City) and James McCarthy (Wigan) were two of the best young British midfielder's in the EPL last season.And Wilson (Rangers) and Kelly could be our future centre back partnership for years to come.

 

If we are to sign British player's i would stick to signing player's to form our back-bone and bring in foreigner's for there flair.

[Maldini]

We can't afford to sign established British players, we should be signing more young prospects like Shelvey though.
