Summer 2011

[Code]

Liverpool wants to hire Fabio Coentrao and is willing to proceed with 22 million euros. The Reds still want to include in the business the Argentine left-back Emiliano Insua, who is on loan to the Turkish Galatasaray

 

This is where it all will break down I guess, unless Benficalower their asking price to 16M if they can avoid getting Insua.

Stuart Holden is a very good player, not sure why everyone dismiss him like that.

 

Parker instead of Lucas would make us challenge for the title.

[MLB]

I can see the Blueshite signing David Vaughan and Jay Bothroyd. Wouldn't be bad signings for them either, to be fair.

 

I'd still like us to sign Adam to be honest, and it seems like it will be either him or McCarthy.

[fowler9]

Coentrao

a new back for Agger

Adam

Mata

 

would make me very happy

[fowler9]

adam's only been offered a deal its not automatic going from the BBC teletext

 

in most cases when the option is in the clubs favour it has to be signed

[WhiskeyJar]

You know what Code...i really did think you were a decent poster for a time but then you started taking yourself waaaay too seriously and begun spouting your shit as gospel.

 

Thanks for the neg and for your troubles here is another fail image:

Parker instead of Lucas and Carew instead of Suarez would make us win title.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

I can't see why people still want adam. It baffles me. All he seems to have is a good passing range and set piece delivery. We need a much more complete player dictating play from CM.

Its a good job he doesnt play in centre mid then......oh right:|

His set piece delivery alone could be worth an extra 8-10 points a season to us, in my opinion.

[WaltonRed]

ever seen one of our corners or free kicks?

I am very sorry but Lucas is a BEAST of a player

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Yea but he doesn't seem to cover much ground, his tackling looks poor, he seems to shy away from tackles a bit like raul, and doesn't have the same positional sense of a great cm. Are you all looking at him as a potential squad player? Or first teamer? If the latter, who will partner him as cm? Gerrard? Relying on Adam to track back and tackle when Stevie gets forward?

 

I just don't see it tbh.

If we dropped lucas, how many points would we drop from missing lucas's energy, tackling relentlessly?

[Mathewbet1]

Bullshit rumors on Twitter saying a bid of 20m has been accepted for Mata, meetings this week.

[Code]

0.

Well, it's very difficult to predict how we're going to line up next season if we buy a new left winger (or two) and a new central midfielder. We already have about five central midfielders, so something's got to give. Say we buy Mata and Adam, for example. How do we then line up? If it's effectively a 4-4-2 then that only leaves room for Gerrard and one more in the centre. If it's a kind of 4-3-3 then a left winger isn't really what we need as Suarez would have to play that role, with maybe Adam, Lucas and Gerrard in the centre. Or do we drop Dirk and play Suarez on the right side and someone like Mata on the left? That looks the strongest option on paper to me, but the point is that it's all speculation, and the people shouting for us to sign all these players don't seem to be taking into account how the fuck we're going to fit them all into the team.

[ngogswilly]

All I know is if people think we'll be alright with say Gerrard and Adam as 2 central midfielders in a 4-4-2, then think again.

 

I couldn't give a monkeys who it is, be it Lucas or someone new, but we need a Defensive Midfielder. Adam and Gerrard in a 4-4-2 would see us overrun in a lot of games.

 

A 4-3-3 in my opinion is perfect, 1 holding/defensive midfielder and 2 more advanced.

Code, did you really neg this? Fuckin' hell!

[Chinandeler Bong]

Mata is preferred option, Downing back up. One big signing being worked on.

 

According to a poster on RAWK called oddball.

Seems a nice geezer.

[Trumo]

Code72, did you realy had to neg me because i said Lucas is a Beast? Come on, his a Liverpool player, we should support him as one! Ok ok i get it, its just a opinion, but some fans underastimate him too much, but still, every match he gives his best with out complaining! I'd say we need more players like him!

 

Just a bit of information for you. In the minds of those such as our Mr Code, players like Lucas have come to represent the footballing ideology of a certain ex-Liverpool manager. Everything that was wrong about this ex-manager is captured in microcosm by players like Lucas, because, it's fair to say, this ex-manager is close to being our Mr Code's least favourite person in all of history. Therefore, these players now bear the brunt by proxy.
