It's clear now that Roy wants a big 'un up top

[zigackly]

Milito in a swap plus cash deal for Mascherano would do nicely.

Indeed Zig, but only the 2010 model of Liverpool Football Club could have the best rated holding Midfielder in the World and the current Captain of Argentina valued at 30m and end up getting 10m and a cripple for him. Or 12m cash.

15m and Milito would do fine.

Spits on hand. Put it there.

It would be ace, but I think he's just signed a new contract until 2014.

 

I'd love us to go for Llorente, he'd be my first choice if money was no object but it obviously is so we've got no chance.

[christhered]

If we are in the lower basement of transfer dealings, I wouldnt mind have a little punt on Carew to do a job for us.

 

Milito of course would be a fantastic bit of business if it were to happen.

[Ynwa20]

I'd like Carew too. Power, pace, precision and panache. Reckon he'd get 20 a season in the league too.

[mht1892]

Wouldn't suprise me if Roy tried to sign remy.

haha... you are funny!

[Carvalho Diablo]

I like Santa Cruz but his injuries are always a big qustion mark.

 

I rate C.Cole but same applies with injuries + as he's english he'll be massively over priced.

 

Totally agree.

 

I'd hate to see the club splash more than £5m or £6m on either of these lads.

 

The thing is as well, we could have an unlimited amount of cash, but because of the way we play - 1 up top - there's very little chance of bringing in another world class striker, cos when Torres is fit, the new fella would find his arse on the bench.

 

I would love to see us playing 2 up, with Torres up alongside another genuine striker, just to take the load off the kid. I know that Torres has said he prefers playing alone up front, but I reckon that part of his injury woes has been due to that, and him constantly getting kicked to fuck by oppo defences.

 

If money was no problem, I rather see Torres partnered with a Beardsley type though. Aguero ? Yeh, dream on...

[RazorBack]

Cardozo, F Llorente are both good shouts unlike C Cole and Jones.

[zigackly]

haha... you are funny!

 

Will never get twenty a season, but scores between one in two and one in three. Unfashionable but effective.

[fowler9]

Cardozo, Carew and Llorente are all good shouts and Cole and Crouch would be good for under 8 million (not going to happen, same with Zamora actually), i'm just waiting for us to be linked with Heskey

[Paul]

It always amazed me that so many Reds dismissed the idea of Torres and Crouch as a partnership, despite the virtually complete lack of evidence. In my view, they are well suited and certainly would fit with Roy's "partnerships" philosophy within a team.

[Dirk]

I'm not sure it is a case of people thinking that Crouch and Torres wouldn't work, Paul, but rather that Torres and Gerrard when playing together is the most prolific strike partnership the club has ever had (on a goals to games played basis, obviously).

[05 Milan]

Anyone saw Carew's "header" yesterday. 4 metres from goal, completely unmarked, had ages to pick his spot. Almost hits the corner flag. Oh yes, I laughed.

I seem to remember they played really well against those puffs we are playing today in Champions League, don't remember them playing together apart from that

[Welsh]

Lukaku.

 

I would love this guy here, had a great season at Anderlecht, he's only 17 but given his size and strength I reckon he could go into the first team straight away.

But there's also a complete lack of evidence that Carew and Heskey would do well. But you wouldn't play them together would you? For better or for worse we decided to build the team around Torres and Torres requires a certain kind of service. A kind of service that people like Gerrard, Cole and even Voronin are far more capable of providing. After hitting the motherload and turning Torres from a 1 in 3 striker to a 1 in 1.5 striker are you going to mess with that arrangement. Del Bosque tried and turned Torres into a shadow of himself, fortunately he has Villa. Crouch is no Villa and his style is the antithesis of what Torres needs and luckily that Gerrard guy could provide exactly that.

Not to mention when the Westham defender played him through on goal under no pressure whatsoever and he almost tumbled over the ball. It`s a huge mystery for me that so many rates him.

 

Obviously they havent watched him much.

 

I laughed as well.

I saw him in a couple of games for Valencia and he was awesome. He was pacy, stretching defences, using the channels intelligently, linking up well. Where did it all go wrong?

What amazes me most about Carew, is that he is almost incapable of hitting the ball cleanly.

4 posts in 1 year?

 

and???

 

Carlton cole for the right price would offer us something extra, he's got the power and strength to hold off defending and hold the ball up, but also has an aggressive streak that Heskey was always lacking.

Throw in a prosthetic hip and an inability to finish and we're on a winner, for sure.

Milito or Milevsky please.
